This painting just blew my mind. Such a perfect contrast and value shifts varying on distances. I am fascinated by this painting. And learnt a lot today. What a wonderful way to end this year and getting inspiration for new year. Everlasting gratitude to you sir for your generous effort. Thanks and have a great time. 🙏🙏

I suggest you make a painting of Gen. Custer's last stand at Little Bighorn. For 2 main reasons: You make such great landscapes, and you look just like him. Would make a nice self-portrait, I'd say. :)

I know this vlog was several months ago, but I have just recently got my wee shed up and running for painting!! Very excited as my hubby built it for me!! I am about to embark on my first grisaille painting!!!!! wish me luck, I have enjoyed this vlog very much!!! Thank you!

[@horstbendzulla6425]

All I can say, your instructions and demonstration are magnificent .

[@ehrlichlanierc7429]

Everything you do is genius and perfect in my mind and eye. Your instruction and visuals are so soothing, so wonderful that I don’t have to even like the subject matter, just benefit from the tutorial. I sent you messages before stating you are the best artist of the century and I say it still. Love you creations, your God given talent. Thank you for utilizing and working to be who and what you are. A true gift to humanity. Thank you sincerely with all my heart, thank you. Sincerely, Mary Lou🌷❣️

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Wow, thank you!

[@bigwetbutt]

*Important to consider here* "Sorry, love your work, but you did this incorrectly. In order for glazing over a grisaille to be effective and as beautiful as possible, you must paint the grisaille brighter than the actual scene. The whole point being that you're adding subsequent layers of transparent and semi-transparent pigment to create visual mixtures with light penetrating through them and reflecting off of a brighter base. Plus now when you add transparent lakes over these dark tones, the color won't show and your values which are accurate now will be inaccurate due to being darker than what makes sense."

Amazing landscape indeed! Even though I've visited Monument Valley on several occasions, I can't imagine that area ever matching the beauty and awe inspiring landscapes of New Zealand.

[@terminator-sb7cv]

Learnt something new today . Never seen this stuff before . Thanks

[@danielvanackere7364]

Andrew has been gifted with the critical eye of a true artist. Acquired techniques make work easier but the most essential tool of any artist is the brain and the eye through which one critically analyses and recognises the ideal proportions, perspectives and lines which are often already there but merely waiting to be brought out through sound draftsmanship. Basic rules and techniques can be acquired but a really good artistic eye is a quality which cannot be tought. You either have it or you never will.

[@tushardhepe2881]

Very Nice Process And The Finish Work Is Also Very Nice...!!!

[@debbiesheridan3334]

Wow what an amazing piece of work. Just fabulous technique and results on Titanium finushed copper panel! I could watch you work for hours Andrew. I love it just as it is as a grizaille, but would look amazing in colour as well I guess. Thank you so much ❤💕Happy New Year xxx love debs in Spain😘

[@HalfWarrior]

Absolutely beautiful Andrew; thank you for the process and inspiration!

[@jeffreyroberts7438]

I was thinking the other day about a poet called Hovis Presley, he was a person I would have loved to have met. Such a kind and ridiculously talented man. You come into that category, your manner and of course, exceptional skill, are an absolute delight to see. I did a fine art degree in the 1970’s, spent my career as an illustrator in advertising, and now that I’m retired I have been able to go back to oil/acrylic painting things I’ve always wanted to do. I now live in West Wales so the landscape is beautiful, a painting everywhere!

[@ianpconklin]

This is absolutely stunning and will have to give this technique a try! Thanks for sharing

[@phillipsmith7759]

Awesome instructions.

[@chrisgriffith1573]

Good to see you making a Grisaille. I ventured through a series a few months ago and found it really satisfying, but I had not chosen those color combinations for my B&W, I went with several dedicated greys, and found out they all had their own shades of blue which made using them very difficult when mixing them out with titanium white. I ended up pairing the grey out using burnt umber to balance it back into neutral. Great demo!

[@bigwetbutt]

He painted this grisaille much too dark which is a fatal flaw in this process. It will have to be re-painted opaquely at this point to save the painting.

[@XanBos]

I should try doing underpainting again. I feel the whole idea of getting tones and details down first allows for having freedom of doing the color glazes later on. Most aspiring artists want to have what the seasoned artist has in the way of quality brushes and other such tools to make good art. But as I’ve seen with my work, I’ve had brushes from all levels of quality and price,and it does come down to what you can do with what you have. I’ve seen great art with using just fingertips. So use what you can afford, and be creative! This painting could be left as a monotone image, but I can’t wait to see what it could look like in color!

[@paintingsofwaves_mikewoning]

I can't wait to see the end result of this painting. Although not a practical technique for en plein air painting, I love the idea that painting a grisaille first, put the focus on really working out a solid composition based on values. Hmmm, might want to give that a go myself, especially since I love glazing!

[@kevinheads1459]

Amazing.. I actually love it in mono without colour. So dramatic. Love your paintings and your videos

[@jetw9522]

Happy New Year, Andrew! Thank you for being there as an inspiration and a mentor on my journey. Wish you and your family good health and Happiness!❤️😊 Always enjoy and look forward to your great contents!

[@PaulRansonArt]

I'm a big fan of grisaille paintings. In fact, I like them so much I often don't add colour. Thank you Andrew for sharing your skills with us. Happy New Year and look forward to the next installment. 😎😎😎😎

[@aanimzoart5321]

Well done always amazing videos 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻

Amazing work Andrew, you`re a master painter, Happy New Year my friend! 🍾😃👍

[@lizl4659]

OMG I just love it. ❤

[@trondsi]

If you use true burnt umber in your griseille it will dry fast. I like burnt umber, ultramarine plus white.

[@CampandCamera]

I’ve been a sub for a while now. You sir have a gift.

[@mr.mikesart7111]

I do acrylic in grays all first as well. Makes it easier to adjust or fix composition I believe you were the reason I started it

[@gailfranklin9874]

Absolutely stunning! I LOVE the color. Looks like a photo from an old Arizona Highways Magazine. On point! I’m going to try this style. Your the man!

[@vickieboley9452]

BEAUTIFUL understudy in tonal values! While I can't say as to working on copper, you mentioned you thought this might have been a method for painting on photographs, which is what I did for almost 20 years, before the advent of computer technology. We could do a transparent tint with Marshall's Transparent Photo Colors, using cotton wrapped skewers or toothpicks to apply thin paint, or a cotton ball, then blend with a wad of polyester. The photos were typically toned sepia for the "underpaint" to help with skin tones. Then advanced to brush painting on top of a photo, following the photo tones with colors. I learned to restore copies of damaged photos which people have saved from floods, fires etc, and using gouache paints for fast drying opaque undercoat via airbrush, then recreate missing parts by hand. It was very rewarding, and I learned to paint portraits doing that, but I polished my mastery watching you! By that time I was retired, but I still enjoy watching and always learning something. Thank you for what you are bringing to everyone! It is truly mastery on an "epic" scale!

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

That's amazing! Thanks for the technical deep-dive. I learned something today!

[@foolishwatcher]

Absolutely phantastic! It looks really interesting just the way it is now. It might be due to the particular lighting or just my imagination, but I certainly see very faint shades of red, blue and green. This very slow drying and the smooth surface are certainly inviting for detailing by scraping away. And it almost appears like a mezzotint to me. Well done and have a good new year!

[@damien706]

I've used grissaile for a couple of my portraits now mostly the commissions, I feel like I am able to ensure I'm concentrating one thing at a time, values and colour and composition. I will definitely try it with a landscape next.❤️

[@aksiniad.1933]

Thank you for a reminder! This is a great technique! You inspired me to do a tonal study (but with a diluted ink) to learn how to paint underwater rocks.

[@chalimoire1304]

Fantastic ! Thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward to seeing a video of how you glaze color into this piece. As I understand, glazing can create a challenge with becoming too dark. I look forward to learning how you problem solve through the next stage. Thank you again for all you do to help younger painters.

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@artistankitkumar9196]

I m waiting for colour version. And i learnt many thing about painting from you, thankyou sir.

[@MrSilva960]

Very interesting your painting, in grisaille !

[@Heidi8252]

I just tried a grisaille and found the colors really drab with the dark underneath, I ended up doing the whole painting over top. I think there is instances when this method is good and not so good. I love your work Andrew, beautiful workmanship.😍 from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦

[@bigwetbutt]

This is done incorrectly here - In order for glazing over a grisaille to be effective and as beautiful as possible, you must paint the grisaille brighter than the actual scene. The whole point being that you're adding subsequent layers of transparent and semi-transparent pigment to create visual mixtures with light penetrating through them and reflecting off of a brighter base. Plus now when you add transparent lakes over these dark tones, the color won't show and your values which are accurate now will be inaccurate due to being darker than what makes sense.

[@terpcj]

That was fun. I recently started a grisaille of my own, which I haven't done in years, just to do something outside of my usual. It's always an interesting technique.

[@tomorrowgame1091]

Hey Andrew, you making some history, you are absolutely art master , you are Treasure

[@kathyrippyfleming7277]

[@freebird_spiritualguidance5547]

I've been thinking about trying this method also to get better depth and contrast in my paintings. Thanks for making this video 👍

You're a beast mate!

[@scottEMT2009]

Wow Incredible already thx so much

[@rosered103]

Thank you Andrew!! I love painting Grisaille! My favourite part of painting, under every painting I do. I think it is the detail I love doing and feel sad when I put colour over it.

[@sharonc7031]

Waiting to see the colored version if you did it. Great work.

[@zoeuphoria]

Theres so much drama in it as it is now, beautiful but I m also intrigued to see how you would glaze over it too

[@vs3151]

Awesome 👏

[@antonioblanco3086]

amazing! continue with glazing

[@muhlenstedt]

The painting is wonderful as it is, I would not continue with colors. Happy New Year!

[@davidhuth5659]

Andrew, I have created similar underpaintings using just burnt sienna and white. Do you find an advantage to keeping the underpainting more neutral instead of bending towards warm or cool? Regarding cheap tools versus expensive tools, an artist friend told me that he went out to paint en pleinair and when he got to the location he realized he forgot to pack his brushes. Unwilling to give up, he collected a bunch of sticks and painted with them. As you said, it's not about the tool but what you can do with the tool. Thanks for another brilliant lesson!

[@farmerfox3332]

As always.... your videos are a highlight of my day and month. I would like to advance one day financially and take one of your in-depth courses but until that day I will feast on these fantastic videos. Many blessings to you and family

[@AnnMarieArndtvlogs]

happy new year

[@dungeontales8117]

I really want to learn this technique. The painting you did of your wife and this one are just magical. I also think it would aid me moving towards painting as someone that sketches with ink, charcoal and pencil.

[@zippydo2678]

I live in northern Arizona and plan to do a painting soon of the mittens, as they are called, soon. This is fabulous!

[@danutasulikowska6155]

❤❤❤ Thank You!

[@emilymanning2606]

I think what you say about tools and markmaking is true. However, it takes a practiced hand to create beautiful marks from any tool. A concert pianist can find beauty and range in any instrument but the inexperienced may need the ease and inspiration of tools that provide consistent results.

Thanks for showing your work. The grisaille looks almost if it is an ets project. Follow you for many years. I have showed some of your portraits to my students, this because how you paint the skin . Also bought your brushes. Love them. Especially the one with the slanted top. I think you call that a dagger? Didn’t work with this sort of brush before. Love to see this painting in color and how you do the glaze. Thank so much. Love from Holland (a 71 year old art teacher 😊)

[@arbophotovideo08]

This is so great I love your value painting just as it is. How do you feel when you loose it to the full color version, it's like saying goodbye to your first art piece in order to treat the second art piece. You're smart to do this in two parts, so you've saved a version of it digitally. There is such beauty in this, I'm so happy to be learning from you. It will be a pleasure one day to become my version of your craft.
