Just seeing this now! Have painted for many years and appreciate your demo and clear explanation of why you're doing what you're doing. (Always learning!) Tomorrow I'll start a painting with a paper towel. It's a great idea for creating big color blocks, contrasting thin with thick paint, and suggesting shapes for the viewer to fill in.

[@janapeony8561]

This is beautiful !!!I love your style and technique,everything about it!

[@conniepothier]

[@lindalopez5951]

[@williamkimmel6487]

I've been painting for many years and you Sir, are fantastic! Paper towels... seriously! Awesome! KIM

[@InLawsAttic]

Wonderful lesson and LOVE hearing the geese!

[@Lafortuneist]

I love your way of painting using a paper towel instead of a brush. It makes everything loose and free.

[@theartfulsouls4529]

Great video. Very well described. Thank you.

[@theartfulsouls4529]

Thank you 😁

[@JulianLovegrove]

Thanks for this Kyle, i like this way of painting.

[@theartfulsouls4529]

Thanks for watching 🙂

[@jimk7866]

Thanks Kyle! Good to see subject, canvas and palette all at once. Lot of good information about the process. I think your best comment was "Paint a little faster than you can think." I believe that allows room for "feeling" and keeping loose.

[@theartfulsouls4529]

James Kowalczyk thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it! 😁

[@davidtimms7152]

Very enlightening .Thanks for putting these videos up for us wanna bees

[@johnnyfulmore6668]

I watched your video for the first time today. I gave a thumbs up👍 and became a subscriber. I will probably become a patreon subscriber. I enjoy your teaching style and how you provide us your thought process. You give thorough and detailed instruction on your process, thanks and continue.

[@theartfulsouls4529]

Johnny Fulmore , Thanks so much! Glad you are benefiting from the videos. I really wanted to provide some basic lessons, as I felt alot of instruction available can be overcomplicated or too advanced for those just starting out. So happy to hear that you subscribed! Thanks and happy painting!

[@malayangsining2516]

Hi sir ur so great, I always watching ur videos

[@131dyana]

Thank you.

[@Returntolove123]

Great !

[@18songlover]

I don't see many videos of people painting from life so thanks for this!

[@theartfulsouls4529]

lazcarol , thanks for watching! Yea, I wanted to fill that gap with some easy to follow plein air painting videos...I love being outside and working and thought the videos might inspire others to do the same:)

[@normayoung3722]

Thanks for teaching at such a pace we can follow ! Yea ! I really make some good notes watching your easy style. I use acrylics and some water mixable oils and hope a lot of your good instructions will work using those with lots of spraying to keep moist.

[@theartfulsouls4529]

Norma Young , yep alot of the same principles apply to acrylics and water soluble...jump in there and have fun with it:)

[@ernarusyani9202]

Thank you for brilliant vidio's 😍

[@theartfulsouls4529]

😁👍

[@mikeknecht6784]

Thanks.

[@harolkmiller]

Great

[@lindalopez5951]

Great teqnique

[@indigodande4345]

It’s not traditional but you could try vivianite as a true earth pigment and it’s blue :) Kramer pigments or golden probably has it. You could also order vivianite pigment and add it to linseed oil possibly to make an oil paint.

[@yournephew690]

Nice painting.

[@theartfulsouls4529]

Your Nephew , Thanks bud:)

[@yournephew690]

Hehe, 😁

[@petkaanitabielert1179]

Thank you for these helpful instructions! I only miss one or two geese on the picture. They made such an effort to get on there. :)

[@theartfulsouls4529]

Petka Anita Bielert , haha..yea they did try..lol glad you enjoyed watching!

[@riccia888]

Question. Do you paint what you see or paint what you dont see?

[@tpbluebird]

I discovered your teaching videos and am learning so much. Could you tell a bit more about the medium and the paint thinner? I know you have a brand you like, but what are some alternate choices. (Yes I did watch first video) Thanks!

[@theartfulsouls4529]

I haven't really found too many alternatives that work the way now galkyd and gamsol work. A very similar combination would be stand oil and turpentine. You might try that but be careful with turpentine because the odors can be toxic.

[@sandrapowers6099]

First time to watch you paint. Do you use a brush? You have made a wonderful, informative map for the setting, though. Very good instructions while you apply the paint. Have you been painting long? It appears that you know all the correct information to lead the beginners. As I watch, I do hope you do use a brush. You are telling everyone just how to lay it out loose and how to not get too fussy about details. I really like this way you are teaching.when I look at the painting, if I did not see your subject matter, you could be painting plein-aire out in the countryside of somewhere in Europe. Looking amazing.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@theartfulsouls4529]

Sandra Powers , Thanks! I've been painting since I was 14...I'm now 34..so 20 years. I use brushes and paper towels...with these beginner videos, I'm encouraging students to start with paper towels and finish with brushes. It keeps u from trying to include too much detail in the beginning:) thanks for watching!

[@theartfulsouls4529]

Sandra Powers , I appreciate your kind words!:) Be sure to subscribe to the channel and click the bell icon if you'd like to receive email notifications when I upload new demos:)

[@Lafortuneist]

Explain the rule of three. It will easier for a beginner to understand the point of interest. Thank you.

[@avarichey9915]

What paper towel brand do you use?

[@9sherida]

The paper towel I use leaves pills of paper. What kind do you use?

[@theartfulsouls4529]

Sherida Nett , I think Vivia or Bounty works best.. if those don't work you could always get the heavy duty blue utility paper towels. Also make sure you have plenty of medium(I use 2/3 galkyd oil mixed with 1/3 gamsol paint thinner) and paint on your towel too so you're not scrubbing too much.hope this helps:)

[@tedfarmer8510]

Very enjoyable, nice style. I didn’t see if you used any kind of medium on canvas?

[@theartfulsouls4529]

I toned the canvas with a thinned down stain that I mix using my medium which is galkyd mixed with 1/4 gamsol. Thank you 🙂

[@1974gladiateur]

What brand of paint are you using? Why you don’t use a true red like pyrrole red. The cadmium red light is more an orange than a red. Just a suggestion.

[@theartfulsouls4529]

Oil Painter , I use the cad red light for the beginner videos because I don't want my students being able to mix too strong of a purple:) later in my advanced videos I will teach how to augment this palette with a few other colors that really broaden the range. But I'm limiting the color mixing capabilities by design in these beginner demos. Beginners always get carried away with the purples..lol:)

[@1974gladiateur]

Thanks very much

[@JoaoBenattiBenatti]

I like very very ....your stille.......

[@helenvanpoorten4262]

What kind of paper towel do you use? It does not seem to break up.

[@theartfulsouls4529]

I use bounty and Viva

[@jerryjohnson4013]

very good but the green roof bothers me

[@nataliarodas7158]

Porque los árboles no le das forma ni los pinos

[@shannasoundslikebanana]

What is the mix of your medium?

[@theartfulsouls4529]

3/4 galkyd painting medium (liquid not gel) to 1/4 gamsol

[@dheajamila4295]

Why the first colour must brown colour....

[@ethelpoindexter8095]

what size is that canvas?

[@theartfulsouls4529]

24"x30"

[@elcamino7580]

I like how you cheated the color of roof )) In picture it more beautiful )

[@james6401]

Jesus I just spent €200 on Rosemary brushes 😨

[@christineludlam4170]

a wedding is the brides day,if you have class and european manners

[@keci57]

Good, but this reddish-orange paint -roof & wall- killed the painting, master....

[@artirikard7859]

The words on the screen cover everything you are painting. I cant tell what you are doing.
