It took me 20 YEARS to learn THIS!! Oil Painting Demonstration

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

I am LOVING all of your amazing comments! I want to know, how is your latest project going?

[@nueveymedia]

I started my sketching endeavor journey four days ago, and I've drawn 4 cool black vultures already! I need to work on my fundamentals before feeling confident enough to put paint and color. Feeling better already! (Greetings from Colombia, btw)

[@yadyad392]

I learn from ur work ( real l life , classical and modern art) ,

[@jamesitoahalf-japaneseguy5526]

I am painting a fan art painting of Queen Amidala from The Phantom Menace. I'm using the method of drawing on the canvas directly and then spraying the canvas with a sealant and then paint over the drawing. This is something I learned from Cesar Santos.

"The pursuit of approval usually ends in disaster." Stunning painting.

[@daljitkaur3233]

Truly inspiring. Cows are beautiful.

[@eddiedimilano77]

Andrew is one of the most amazing artists alive. I love his work!

[@majer__art]

A 100 percent! ❤

[@Lij-kaleb]

Exactly 💯

[@giorgiaingraffia7725]

Totally agree

[@pitviper7924]

And what a teacher.

[@k8nduke]

I got emotional when you started painting those river stones and your painting took life right before our eyes. For me, from that moment on, you worked your magic and I will never forget this painting 😮❤ Thank you so much!

[@vickieboley9452]

Such depth and life in this work, textural qualities so vivid one can almost feel the cow or the background grasses and trees! Lovely, brilliant. Beautiful cows.

[@craigwillms61]

Don't worry about the old masters, you sir are a new master!! Bravo

[@jaysenwarner6125]

I like how you go to ultimate details. It's you. If you want to try to copy a master in their technique, it can open you up and make you learn and realize things, but your greatness comes from you.

[@schlippery1]

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained..." I spent a year and a half in New Zealand, what an artist's paradise! Your video here is very comforting and inspiring, and makes me realize, I tend to go off on a tangent, and thus lose focus of what painting is all about...sigh, so much to learn... so little time...:) but thank you for your videos :)

[@elainehowell1683]

This is one of your best paintings, it is so YOU! It is your style, your eye for beauty and appreciation of the subject, your exquisite use of color and light, etc... Andrew, YOU are a modern master, so many of us agree with that fact. I want to learn to paint in the painterly realistic way that you do, not the old masters. Every thing you produce is breathtaking. I feel so fortunate to have found you and so thankful that you are sharing your gift with us. You are a diamond! : )

[@fayee8986]

Very well said!

[@rebeccaking3514]

You said the words I was thinking!

[@treelinktree]

Hey Tish, just me, Tree here... almost finished watching for the 1st time, this video, but at this moment HAVE to say so glad you can express the truth behind painting ((that artists (any creators) aught NOT TO THINK about the external)) . Hope you get a lot of "likes" and viewers responding about this. With that said, your painting is beautiful! 😊

[@pedroalonso-sanchez4783]

I tell you Andrew!!! Everytime that i look at your Painting I get lost in it !!! You are so perfect that it is unreal !!

[@scrappysinger]

I love that painting! I grew up on a farm in Florida, and it just takes me home. Thank you!

[@MusicAnthropology]

I am reminded of my art teacher’s message to me: “detail adds interest!” For me, the best successes are when your vision can match your application. That is the ghost I’ve always chased. And there is, sometimes your vision does evolve within the composition. It is all about the journey. It can take you to new and exciting places. Another lesson from my teacher, “Paint what you see.” That in itself can be the hardest lesson.

[@fayyadking761]

I thank You, Andrew, every time I watch a video of Yours. You never fail to inspire. Your heart and mind combined is a beautiful painting itself. You also inspired me to make a palette table on wheels, very similar to the one you have. Thank you for that. I pray that you are in good health. This dark world needs your light. Get some rest - whenever you can. Again, Thank You.

[@maximuspatrolius1]

I like that you do not mind showing that you had one idea and changed it to another idea.

[@kathyrivera2481]

This is an absolutley stunning painting. You are a master! What an inspiration to the est o us.

[@michaelgarcia812]

Thank you for sharing Andrew. As a retired engineer, many of the suggestions apply to my field and have helped me grow as a artist.

[@skysky9115]

Beautiful painting ....I love your process ....and amazing color projection ....thanks for sharing....

[@raewaterhouse4771]

A really valuable message thank you Andrew. My tiny studio is my happy place, and right now I am painting flowers in acrylics, in my own style. Revamping and finishing a painting I began 7 years ago. 9 years ago, my brother died - he was my painting buddy and a superb, visionary artist with flowers, both realism and abstract. I miss him sorely, and have learned much from his paintings, but I still have my own style. Your Video has come at a special time for me and helped hugely. Today is the 9th anniversary of my Mum's death as well (my brother died in December 9 yrs ago) My Mum was also an excellent water color artist and loved critiquing my work. Thank you for continuing to share your experience and thoughts with us. Note, that I also do seascapes and landscapes - photo realistic.

[@jethroarnaiz2216]

It's comforting to know that even a painter of your caliber wants to 'run away' from your painting sometimes...

[@stephanieeargle3865]

Yes!! Thanks again, Andrew! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@pchabanowich]

Growing up with cows gives me pangs of memories watching this gorgeous painting come together with thoughts articulated which go through all our minds as artists. Very intuitive and empathic.💐

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you for your thoughts and narration. As an artist I have experienced the same sense of being lost and ready to throw in the towel and start something new. I came to the same realisation as you some years ago. I learned to push through the doubts and find the flow in my own paintings. I look forward to seeing more of your paintings in future - Paul 😃😃

[@Fauxjob]

Longtime fan who can say Tischler is one of the best contemporary wildlife and landscape artists of the world, it's a privilege to watch his videos on here, I grew up in an era where you didn't share trade secrets like this unless you considered that person a good friend or worthwhile.

[@donnacockerham9780]

What a lovely subject! You are a master and just don't know it. I'm sure that everyone who is fortunate enough to see your work realizes just how talented you are. Thank you so much for sharing your process with us- you inspire people to draw/paint. I could look at this painting for hours.

[@nancysmitherman9970]

Hi Andrew! You've given me a renewed appreciation for cows. I got my fisrt Kodak camera when I was 13 in 1964 and the first pictures I took were close-ups of cows and their beautiful eyelashes. Black and white film to start with. Your painting of the cows really brought back memories! Tischler wouldn't be Tischler without your remarkable style! Thanks so much for explaining your thoughts!

[@sheilaflint8104]

Thanks for sharing. I haven't painted in a while for that very reason...too focused on the end outcome. My paintings aren't selling and I got so discouraged. However, when I forget about all that and just pai t what I want to, I am so much more fulfilled. These cids always seem to pop up at the right time to let me hear what I need to hear. Thank you for that.

[@lahwillapp3754]

Not only is A.T. the most amazing modern artist alive but we can ALL agree his humility and willing to teach is GOLD. This video proves art is about the soul not just degrees and others' opinions. Thanks for explaining the external & internal aspects. This encouraged me keep pushing on my current project. Ps. Flow state can take forever to get into but MAGIC when you do. Thanks A.T.

[@brucebissell7626]

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUNG MASTER. MUCH LOVE AND LIGHT TO YOU AND FAMILY. 😇

[@CoroCicca]

I felt freedom, peace and beauty in your wonderful work. thanks yes the work is written in 2 hours + 20 years of practice

[@ShamJam85]

Amazing work! wonderful. I dnt know that its the magic of oil paint or the carishm behind your fingers? keep it up, I am learning from you a lot.

[@TheFlorindel]

This painting turned out really great - especially after your changes. The play of light and shadow makes it beautiful. In my opinion you achieve this mostly with the details like single blades of grass while the old masters you are referring to might be doing this on a bigger scale.

[@bettychilldres9860]

Andrew... I haven't watched you paint for quite awhile now... I see here that you have faithfully grown with your insights for painting. These cows are a beautiful master piece!! 😊 It's true that "practice makes perfect"!! 😊

[@pawan2414]

Of course I love appreciation from friends for my paintings. So I post it on Facebook. I do it almost daily.your painting is so natural that you inspire me. . While painting in acrylic , I am so absorbed that time passes by.😅I enjoy the process. I have a huge collection and I gift to others. I am 74

[@santone1849]

Spot on Andrew . Lovely painting, Lovely video. Thank you. Cows are fantastic creatures .

[@d.e.e.2651]

This was a special video for me. I get down on myself for being a slow, meticulous painter. Try as I might, I can’t paint loose. I do give up when I feel I have overworked it. I also grew up with Herefords and spent many lazy summer days under the trees with them. They are gentle and beautiful, and worthy of painting. I loved watching these come to life.

[@rosered103]

I realized after watching your video, that was one of my problems without realizing it. Just be you in painting.

[@donnaduhamel6004]

It is the process it changes with each insight along the way... Your art has always inspired me..thanks....be well..💖

[@pedroalonso-sanchez4783]

I watched this video several times and it still amazs me how beautyfull and realistic you can paint !!! It s amazing !!!! Just keep on painting and you never going to lose my attention Andrew !!!!

[@dennisdoes86]

Self discovery is such a strong and miraculous teacher. Thank you for us all.

[@donitafichter8298]

You’ve got me in tears dear man. You are a gift. Your gift is a gift. I appreciate that you recognize the “old masters” (whatever that truly means), but more moved by what you personally have within you to offer the world and in the way you view and experience it. Capturing that is really all that matters. Absolutely stunning!

[@melissahartley1143]

Yes Andrew, cows are cool! 😃🐮 Just continue to be you, this painting is sublime. Thank you for the reminder to be immersed in the process. This is something that currently rings so true to me.

[@majestictreeservices]

I thank You, Andrew, every time I watch a video of Yours. You never fail to inspire. Your heart and mind combined is a beautiful painting itself.

[@crisalidathomassie1811]

Just gorgeous ! You never cease to amaze me. Each painting a master work. The entire composition along with the details and the mix of colors are breathtaking. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and process. You are the best! I wish you the best today and ever.

[@kaefimuhammad5854]

Long live for you sir, you are one of the greatest of all time artist who alive, i hope you are celebrit your 100th , god bless you , sorry for my english im stil learning.

[@susannerauch8237]

The finished work is simply beautiful; I'm so glad you didn't give up on it....I cannot tell you how much I needed this video and these reminders. I think your thoughts on this are absolutely key to being authentic as an artist and to have that joy, but it's so easy to get caught up in extraneous "stuff," and that does finally suck the happiness out of the process. I sincerely thank you, Andrew.

[@xandecriskim]

I am so grateful that I am living here now, in this present moment in space/ time to see the great painter Andrew Tischler. The Old masters may not consider them self masters in their living time. That is the mark of a master. Watching you painting, all your studies and your afford is so inspiring. Master or no master, who cares. It is just name convention of humanity. The point is if this makes you a better human been. That is the key. Thank you will never be enough.

[@conham4493]

Thank you so much Andrew for this video. Your message spoke volumes to me and got me unstuck. Your comment about painting "what you know" and "what is around you" hit me right between the eyes. I so appreciate you sharing your wisdom accumulated through the years. That painting by the way is fantastic! It does make me see simple cows as something extraordinary.

[@alexaevans1]

Thank you so much. I've never commented on your videos I've seen, and enjoyed.....but this touched a nerve in me. I don't think I've ever been taught such a vital lesson on what we go through as artists, and the manner, through this amazing painting process, of self discovery 💞. Again, thank you so very much Andrew

[@buscongo]

Thank you so much! I go back and forth with the same dilemma, but I always need to go back inside and paint from within in order to paint at all. I'm so happy to hear you say this, I don't feel it's so much a dilemma anymore.

[@johangrenier6016]

As a professionnal illustrator that truth has always been my mantra, especially talking to new artists and young people. Art isn't about your "gift", "talent" or end result (although as a professionnal illustrator the end result does matters a lot for the client) but to me it's about love. It's a simple truth but it's very strong to me, i do art because i just love it that much, i love it to the point i can spend 10 hours a day 5 days a week and still feel the burn of the process affecting me in positive ways. Being there, going through the moment, it's so valuable, especially if you're like me "someone who's always not there, dreaming about something". Art and painting keeps me here at least for a few hours, it's not always that easy but it's a thing i'm grateful for because it makes my moments on this earth so much more precious. Keep up painting Andrew, your work is inspiring and your technique admirable, your words too are sources of inspiration.

[@mailie6403]

This is why you are my favourite artist Andrew. This video says it all. It has changed my mindset. Thank you.

[@JayDouglas01]

I grew up across the road from my grandparents' farm, and I just can't imagine being able to capture those cows the way you have here. My grandparents and the cows are gone now, but we still have the farm. I'm going to think about your painting the next time I'm there. Thank you.

[@petrasonntag6344]

Wonderful. I can feel the water and smell the grass.

[@teriehr8490]

Such wonderful insights!! And I so needed to hear them! What else I learned from watching you and listening was that you kept going, sometimes back to something I'm sure you thought you were done with, and tweaked it, made it better, changed it completely. And the little grass details, the water sparkles, the cow's hair....it really doesn't matter how long it takes, right? It's the process, getting lost in it! THANK YOU!

[@briankuehn5379]

I really appreciate your thought process in this piece. I think it is refreshing to hear that a Master as yourself is always pushing your envelope forward. Thanks for that!

[@kerryallen6476]

I'm also happy you didn't give up! I truly appreciate your transparency and not being afraid to share your thought processes. I have experienced similar challenges, and now I have a technique for pushing through... Focus on the process! My sincere gratitude, Andrew!

[@kk3421]

You are wonderful. There is only only one Monet or one Constable and there is only one Andrew. 😊wishing you all the best.

[@paulleeming5733]

Great Mate, some good valuable lessons in respect to process and being true to yourself. A hard lesson for visual art students with limited time at school. Too many unfortunately give up and walk away from the process when they need to persevere. Take care, let me know when you might come for a visit to Perth, always good to see you.

[@1sacoyle]

I really got into painting seriously back in the 90s. I started watching Bob Ross and other TV artist. These people had 23 min. to complete a painting; therefore they painted very quickly. No muss no fuss just use a bigger brush! I developed into a speed painter not realizing that I was missing the point of creating a painting from the heart. Watching you paint made me realize that by slowing down (even with acrylics) and paying attention to detail could make for a much better painting; taking my work to the next level. THANK YOU!!!🥰🤩

[@chrishoey61]

Andrew, do not ever doubt yourself. you are an unbelievably great artist. I'm in awe.

[@LynetteHulton]

It is so wonderful to be watching you paint again. Love, love,love your work

[@robertward1215]

You be you!! You are an amazing artist and truly a master at painting. Amazing work!

[@hedgewitch59]

I can't imagine wanting to paint like anyone else when you have your talent Tish. And you're right....no matter who we study and for how long...we'll always paint like us. Thank you. 🙏

[@ajippaan7403]

" This profoundly impacted the way I approached my craft before. You began with the intention of emulating the techniques and styles of our heroes. However, as you delved deeper into your work, it eventually came out with your beautiful personal version. Deeply thankful for your contributions ❤

[@margaretmcallister5422]

To quote a couple of great lines from the film and play Hobson's Choice - "But he's the old master!" "And you are the new!" Great to see an artist gaining from the old, but being the new. Gorgeous result.

[@SJ_mommabear]

Gosh! Your words are as beautiful as the painting! Your "ah ha" moment to paint "like you" was amazing! I am a very brand new artist (although I am not a brand new human 😂, not even close). I just completed my very first oil painting, and ugh the struggle with wet sand at night has me a bit frustrated. I just love your attention to detail. It is inspiring, educational, and encourages me as an artist to appreciate all the nuances in the things we see!

[@t0raneko]

Very longtime viewer here...just wanna say I LOVE when you do these soft spoken introspective videos because your voice is like getting a virtual masaaaaaage. Oh, and I learn a lot too!

[@hildelgard]

Haven't painted anything since war started, and now looking at this amazing cows, I really want to start paint again. Thank you for the inspiration and for reminder that process is really important.

[@Joh-f4d]

the brightness colors of tonal dynamics in cows is great. the high level of detail all around the canvas is to be celebrated 🤩

[@phyllisw3123]

You are an AMAZING artist and teacher! Thank you for your thoughts on this topic. These new groups and classes on the internet are all about "THEIR" way, products which I understand they should push those. But they are not teaching what painting is all about like you just stated. When I first started painting I could get lost for hours in whatever I was painting. Still do! However I always want to learn New techniques, and LOVE watching you paint. I learn from watching you paint. Your style and techniques mesmerize me !! Thank you so much for doing what you do!!

[@RobertHopkinsArt]

Excellent work, Andrew!

[@chrisgriffith1573]

You listed some inspirations for this peice and I was reminded of Peder Mørk Mønsted, a landscape painter that I believe you might know of, which is very inspiring.

[@NeilMatthews-z9i]

One of your best videos Andrew. I fully agree with all the points you made. In effect be yourself when painting. I really like the textured effects you achieved with the fully loaded larger brushes. Off into my studio now to see if I can apply the points you made to a commission that I reluctantly took on.

[@stevencowdell5201]

Another magnificent painting.I’ve been promoting your paintings in a new art group I’ve joined. One of the ladies is going to love this. She’s currently painting a Hereford.

[@kazziemaccie]

I love this painting! And totally agree with what you said about (not) copying the masters but being yourself. Herefords are my favourite and I love your landscape too. Thanks for sharing.

[@reneruiz6147]

I really like those colorful speck dots you added to the water. Thanks for the reminder about the external and internal.

[@markborder906]

I agree so much with, what you call the “flow state”. The best bits of my paintings are the bits I have no memory of doing. When I was so absorbed with the act of painting that I was, effectively, in a trance.

[@1302inc]

You're quickly becoming one of my biggest inspirations! You hit on something that I've been struggling with lately and also sort of a realization I'm coming to grips with, as I've been trying to make my work more loose and "painterly". While it's great to grow and seek out new ways of learning its also ok to accept that I like to do detailed paintings. I too like small brushes and details and while I might really love the loose brush strokes other artists create, I can also accept the fact that I have my own style and don't need to shy away from my strengths. I'm eager to create a large scale piece! Thanks for sharing all your insight and keeping me inspired to push paint around!

[@tessbisschoff9244]

How beautiful you've captured cows, water, trees and the veld and the light on all of that. Thank you. Tess

[@bruceskillicorn4026]

Andrew, all the way through art school in the 90s, the instructers hounded me over being too tight, being too representational, and even painting, which they said was a dead art form. When came across you, I immediately thought, that is how I dream to paint, and I am getting better every day, but I can just be the artist I am, but growing all the time. Each of the brush strokes you make. Are we learning experience for me. I'm fighting with a painting now, what you have said has been a great reminder.Thanks

[@michaelramos3589]

Thank you, your painting actually brought tears to my eyes. It reminded me of a simpler time on our ranch in North Dakota. It is beautiful I would gladly display this in my home if I could afford it!

[@diloraptor3191]

Stunning painting. The way you handle the complexity of light and reflections on the water blows me away every time.

[@hufsa7197]

One of the many, many things I find incredible about you, is your ability to paint rocks under water, and the water itself. Currently, I am painting along with Samuel Earp. Following his tutorial painting a landscape. I have already painted it before using his tut, and its really cool to see how I have improved from the last painting. You and Sam are two of my personal painting heroes.

[@RichardLisle-lu2mb]

Hi Andrew. I am en Plein air artist for many years. I always enjoy watching your videos. I learned this same lesson many years ago. I just relay the lesson to my students in a different way. I tell them if you always try to paint a masterpiece, you will never paint one. I also tell them that I am a plein air artist, because of two reasons. One is I love to be in the great outdoors. The other reason is I love to paint. If I get a great painting it is a bonus! If you think this way you will always keep growing as an artist, and maybe paint your masterpiece.

[@Tooradj]

I loved this post. As great as it is being you, it took trying to be someone else to recognize and appreciate who you are. Since we are born, imitation has been a part of the process of learning who we want to be. I still try to copy some of my favorite paintings just so that I can learn what I like about them and if creating them is as much fun as looking at them. I crash and burn on some and have a happy ending on others but I wouldn’t take back the time I spent on any of them because there were as much to learn from the failures as there was from successes. Keep inspiring artists with these great posts.

[@sleepingwhale]

loved the narration. I was so happy when you put the rocks under the water..... this was gorgeous to watch, thank you.

[@toba5987]

I am years with you and this video (artwork) is absolutely amazing! I can not find the right word to express it! Thanks, Andrew!
