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]

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!

[@user-el5ht1fr8z]

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 😊

[@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 🤗

[@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

[@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. 😊

[@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.

[@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!

[@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! 😊

[@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 ❤

[@ivyhuntart]

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

[@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 😀

[@LittleIrishbird]

This is a fantastic tutorial Joni, thank you so much. I’ve honestly been making this a far more complicated process than had to be !! 😅

[@joniyoungart]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks 😊

[@user-sp7yq9ob3w]

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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@GrammyTapDancing]

Nice to see left handed painter 🎨

[@howardelliott3784]

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

[@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!

[@user-to6yo1vi5e]

I love how you take your time showing and taking your time to demonstrate to us, I'm just starting only a couple months into painting , I started out with fluid art and I want to expand to learn more things. I'm retired but had to go back to work I can't Waite to get home pull out a 24x24 and try! this

[@justinsbb]

[@marychampion8716]

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

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

[@michellevanderwalt977]

Thank you for showing an easier way to paint figures. Appreciate your tutorials.

[@annetiwari4987]

Thankyou for that. It made me feel I could manage those with some comfort. It was also interesting to watch you put in the background. I've struggled with acrylics and have needed to watch how others apply them in various manners.

[@joniyoungart]

Glad you enjoyed it Anne ❤️

[@alwaysbelieve5617]

I love the way you explain in simple terms what you are doing! I was wondering if you had any tutorials like this one that features the older style of outer wear like from the 40's or 30's? I believe you did one but I can not seem to find it. It was also a rainy scene only in black and white...Thank you so much!
