[@OresteAquaviva]

I'm 83 yes old. I've been watching you for a couple of months and have learned a lot from you. You are an amazing teacher. I will continue watching and continue learning. Thank you.

[@joniyoungart]

Thank you 😊

[@GailMcintosh-tx6lp]

I started painting 2 years ago when I was 70. I have been following you since I started and have learned so much! This particular tutorial I find fascinating, since I’ve always enjoyed impressionist paintings. You’ve made it seem much easier than I thought. Thank you for all your wonderful tutorials. Happy Holidays!

[@joniyoungart]

Thank you Gail ❤

[@elizabethwallace-donnelly.2356]

[@gracejohnson1926]

Nice…eager to try what you’ve taught !❤ty🤗

[@wandadabrowskamd]

Thank you for great tutorials.Keep it up please!

[@deborahtengler4590]

Love this tutorial! Wonderful teacher!

[@michaelanddorothyalbert5150]

Loved the simplicity of her teaching. I am 79 and love to paint. Ibroke both my arms a year ago. I can still paint

[@maryannbrown5762]

I’m so glad that you can still paint after breaking both arms. You are a testament to the power of overcoming adversity to continue to do what you enjoy. ❤️

[@kerrym5424]

You GO! Awesome❤️❤️❤️

[@kaytaylor3560]

Very good explanation thank you

[@sylviayoungman6925]

I paint ballerinas but needed to learn how to paint figures. I love how she teaches. I am 74. Perhaps we.should form a group? ❤❤❤❤❤

[@papa-grammy]

Wow! You are great. I love painting. I just dont know how to make it look professionally. After watching this segment. I was amazed. In the beginning the rectangle box looked weird but then...I tried it and now I can't stop drawing these little boxes to make people. Thank you for helping me get it together. I am 72 years young and now thanks to you, I can draw people...yay!

[@joniyoungart]

That’s awesome!!!

[@firewilson573]

I'm 70 and just started today with her I have been floundering with out the skills

[@Catherine-rt9un]

Thank you for also placing your paints to the left of the canvas so that we can see directly what paint you’re using and how much. I’ve painted for many years but never learned how to paint people and my instructors never taught that. So very helpful and appreciated..

[@sharondoan1447]

It appears to me that she is left handed.

[@judyknights3500]

Thank you Joni for sharing- as a raw beginner I am so appreciative.

[@joniyoungart]

Thank you Judy, hope this helps 🤗

[@wrenbayley]

I love doing people like this for warm ups. It’s always fun to change their direction. A little lighter color on the face area and they’re walking toward you; no lighter color or a bit of hair and they’re walking away. So fun.

[@skyydancerdreams]

I’ve learned so much from watching this video. You’re an amazing artist and teacher, who is terrific at explaining what you do, and why you do it. I’m going to watch this video over and over until I get it right. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!

[@joniyoungart]

THANK YOU! 😊

[@dleigh4534]

I used think painting people was hard, getting caught up in the details. My teacher taught me to "plant" carrots 🥕 then add a dot for the head and a line on each side for arms. Essentially painting a long upside-down triangle. But I also remember painting a lot of figure 8's for the body too. Thanks for sharing Joni. 😊

[@barbrastringer4977]

Thank you for going at a moderate speed. When I watch other videos about painting they go so fast it fails to deliver the lesson! Thank you!

[@maggietattersfield2859]

First time I have seen your art podcast. I learnt enough to know I will continue watching whenever I find you. Thank you so much🙏🏼

[@irenenortier9773]

Thanks!

[@joniyoungart]

Thank you Irene ❤️

[@marychampion8716]

I love ur approach to figures. I learned a lot today! The umbrellas, tho’ look like hats. Maybe tilt them a little bit.

[@LenaHill-c7z]

I have just started painting and I am 58 years old. I drew a lot as a child, then life got in the way. I love watching your videos and you are absolutely amazingly talented and it turns out so nice.

[@DeborahTurner-ip8zm]

Thank you, I've always wanted to know how to do that. I a fan now😊

[@darkmonk99]

My gosh girl what a talent you have-your teaching videos are amazing,and thank you for ,yes - giving away painting techniques,which takes you years of time and practise to be as good as you are- Thanks again.

[@joniyoungart]

Thank you so much, I love to teach ❤️

[@ivyhuntart]

Learning soooo much.. thank you!! Please keep going in this series …

[@GrammyTapDancing]

Nice to see left handed painter 🎨

[@robertawestbrooks9531]

You're the best yet. I am a beginner, 72years old. I really enjoyed your work ❤

[@joniyoungart]

Thanks!

[@EraLuna13]

How wonderful are you?!! I have been loving the figures in the paintings lately ... they fascinate me how simple they are yet portray so much detail. Thank you! 💜💜

[@joniyoungart]

Thank you so much! I’m glad this is helpful 🤗

[@piaolsen7042]

Thanks for sharing your experience. love it ❤

[@KginVT]

I do watercolor, but your techniques are definitely applicable! Thank you!

[@Susan.Burns63]

❤ you're not just an artist, you're a mind reader dear 😅, I was only looking at the colourful umbrella painting last night thinking I might manage that one? 👏👏👏👏👏, I've been on a Joni painting binge watching session ❤thank you again 🥰

[@joniyoungart]

Thank you so much 😀

[@noelinegeydien9956]

Thanks so much for sharing. I'm a beginner and find your tutorial so amazing. I am struggling with my emotions as I am very nervous to start. I find your tutorial so relaxing. I would definitely follow your tutorials. Thank you.

[@sonjahickmon5203]

Excellent tutorial! I have not tried adding people to my paintings, but with your teaching today, I think I can do it now. Thank you very much!

[@GingahSnapsArt]

I love this!! Beautifully done I always have to sit back and admire when an artist can make things so simply and "make my brain do the work" (in a good way!) filling in details. It's a skill I'm working on. Will need to rewatch and follow along!

[@maggimarmion3836]

I have just decided to give Acrylic painting a go after a couple of years trying Watercolour painting and I just have to say that I am completely blown away by your work and your great tutorials !! Thank you ❤️❤️

[@russellandjanburne3387]

Good decision. Much more fun than tempramental watercolours!

[@howardelliott3784]

Hi Joni, Great tutorial. Love your tips and tricks to make painting more enjoyable.Thanks for sharing.

A true one-off painting - and sensational it is too.

[@debbiemartin9005]

I’m primarily a watercolorist now, having started in acrylics years ago. Every time I watch one of your videos, I want to get out my acrylics! 😂 I find that I can use so many of your techniques with both mediums, so thank you for all the help! You’re a very good instructor and I’m grateful to you. 🎉❤

[@joniyoungart]

Thanks!☺️

[@loriferguson5996]

Terrific tutorial. You’re very clever. I like playing with my watercolors & have just a couple of acrylics but this makes me want to have a try at this style. Thank you.

Just Starting to try abstract painting, and wanted to add some people. Your video is perfect. I like your style. Thank you. 👍

[@jameelahadams8947]

Thank you, Joni, this is amazing! You make painting figures look so easy even I could do it! Your techniques are easy to follow. As someone trying to decipher sketching and drawing, your follow-along is wonderful. Great to see a left-handed painter. Keep painting!

[@joniyoungart]

Thanks Jamee 😊

[@rayray714a]

Wow I’m feeling so blessing finding your videos on KZbin! Do you gesso all your canvases before painting or did you just start on this with water? Thanks Joni!

[@joniyoungart]

I purchase them already double primed, all I add to prep is water right before I come in with paint 😊

[@bgcrow1]

Great tutorial Joni! Such great techniques for silhouettes. You are an amazing teacher! Thank you, Joni. Merry Christmas to you and your family! Brenda

[@joniyoungart]

Happy holidays!

[@1blondidea]

I am new to your channel. I LOVE that your are Left-handed, like me!! It's soooo much easier watching a fellow Left-handed artist work BECAUSE I don't have to "transpose" the hand/painting movements.

[@alisonkate2677]

Oh, that's a pretty flounce! Can't wait to see your fabric tutorial. Lovely (and simple) umbrellas too. Thank you!

[@joniyoungart]

Thank you! 😊

[@joshuagyldenlove9834]

Ms. Young definitely makes a great teacher. Although I always use oils in my paintings the principle of form is still needed to learn.

[@suz8481]

Hi will practice practice on this tutorial it’s just the knowing how to paint them thank you . Will look out for more tutorials . 😊

[@8bandit9]
