Acrylic Painting For Beginners

[@VeronicaS50]

I'm a 68 year old living in the UK and who has never touched a paint brush but your wonderful lesson has spurred me on to try something new in this never-ending Lockdown. God bless you!!

[@julieteague7900]

Im 55 and just finished my first ever acrylic painting

[@thomashoffman5946]

I'm 77 and never painted either

[@robinmarkus7054]

I'm a 59 year old woman who loves to do several types of crafts including crocheting..U never could draw and I never painted because I didn't believe I could..Recently I have started painting on canvases and because I don't care to impress anyone and it's just for fun, I'm realizing that I love it so now I've started watching videos for beginners.Im so happy that I left my comfort zone and dared to try something I use to avoid because I thought I couldn't..now it's fun and relaxing.

Hi, I'm watching from North Carolina, USA. I love your videos and just gaining the confidence to paint from you for a 58 year old. Thank you, I'm a subscriber!

[@patricianorman6664]

Hi! My name is Pat and I am in the US. I’m 69 and I just found this video and was thrilled with it. You are a wonderful instructor. You break everything down so it is simple and can be easily understood. I’ve only been painting for 2 1/2 years without any formal training so it’s been trial and error with results being more error. Thank you so much. I wii definitely try to fine the free painting video. I know it would be really great. Thank you again!

[@543randy]

I'm in New Hampshire, USA I've taken many painting classes, but you're the best. No one has described the use of color to make the objects recede and move forward. Thank you

[@ingawooten3108]

I love the way you teach very easy to follow along with you thank you for sharing this lesson I'm watching from California .

[@myralaslett9559]

I am a 77 yr old I love watching you and would love to paint. Thank you from UK

[@nicolagrant4358]

I’m a complete beginner from Dunedin NZ and very excited to get started. 😊

[@ktrigoso1]

I'm 54 and from Noblesville Indiana. Enjoying life and learning new things like painting. The only time I was able 2 paint or draw was when I was upset. By watching ur videos I'm learning 2 do this as a pass time. Thank u

[@Fortis_Bellator]

I'm a beginner. I've watched video tutorials from other sites for 3 weeks now, and was afraid to start. I watched just one of your video's. This one. The intimidation and fear are gone! Wow, you are amazing, and I am motivated to begin. Thank you so much, from Texas USA

[@rhondamc3642]

Absolutely lovely!!

[@madampolo]

I'm from Texas. Back in 1974, I painted a few landscapes using oil. I'd like to try again using acrylics. You have inspired me.

[@rosaphillips5380]

From Tennessee in the US. would certainly love to see more!

[@shepshe66]

HI neighbor

[@barbtsirigotis2823]

I've been painting for years but never had anyone share the steps to such a beautiful finished painting. I never understood how to paint depth in my paintings using color. Thanks so much for sharing your skill and talent.

[@simlajagernath887]

Hi, I’m from sunny Durban in South Africa…. Thank you for the detailed explanations, so easy to follow, you are so talented!

[@wilsonclan3]

Hi I’m from Ontario, Canada. Been “teaching” myself to paint with acrylics for about a year now. I’ve watched so many videos that my head hurts!! lol. This is, by far, the BEST beginners tutorial I have watched yet! You explained things and demonstrated things in a way that I completely understood, especially the use of colours (warm, cold etc). Your technique is Amazing! I cannot wait to try this painting. 5 years ago, a psychic told me that I should paint, she ‘saw’ me painting. I laughed at her and joked about it because I was redecorating my entire house at the time, and painting every room. She assured me not that kind of painting. I am into photography but never painting, so I blew it off as fake news! lol. I totally forgot about that psychic until a few weeks ago... and here I am... learning to paint. Coincidental or what!! 😉😀 Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills. You are awesome!

[@prajnaparamita3008]

Hello,I am from Montreal!

[@christinechase6537]

Hi, watching from Suffolk in England. Loving it. Christine.

[@thelmamarsh8907]

A beautiful demonstration for BEGINNERS that isn't too advanced, easily explained and won't frighten a complete beginner off by being too advanced. Many thanks.

[@amposable]

I ran into you, love the way you teach, easier and I'm learning so much more, Ana from Las Vegas

[@margaretmccarthy5824]

Thank you. I live in Melbourne, Australia. I found your tutorial wonderful. I loved seeing the final painting gradually emerge.

[@gerard4703]

Watching from Europa, Netherlands. Very nice introduction to acrylic painting. Gotta give it a try, with only a couple of colours you can create amazing canvasses.

[@jackiekauth-wp4wc]

Hi! I’m 78 and just starting painting. I love this video. USA

[@debbiefouts-su2zl]

6:42 est October 16,2023 My mother has painted for years, she is now 86 years young, her talent was God given. Now on the other hand I wasn’t so lucky. She keeps telling me it is so easy, whatever! I have started ,today, to watch your videos, you make it look so simple and soothing to the soul. I will continue to watch your videos in hopes I will one day paint like my mother! Thank you for making these videos possible for those of us who really want to learn! North Carolina😊

[@markbonham3477]

Very nicely done Rob. I've been painting for 28 years now and I am constantly over the years watching videos because we never stop learning. Thank you

[@p_tr1110]

Watching from Dallas TX, I enjoy watching your video... thanks!

[@kathyparry9946]

i'm a 51 year old New Zealander who took up painting in April after my daughter left home to go to uni. i've been trying to learn since then and this video has taught me so much. thank you i really appreciate it

[@RobertBruce-hy6xo]

Thank you for the lesson. I'm from Cape Town and now I feel I want to get going with painting again.

[@TRAMJUNCTION7147HG]

Thank you for giving me inspiration, to take up painting in acrylics. I am a complete beginner from the UK and I am 73 years old. I am sure by following your instructions, I can soon learn the art of turning a blank canvas into something to admire. I think I have found a new hobby to pass away the time and enjoy. I have watched several videos on this subject, but found yours to be the easiest to follow. One again thank you. You have just gained another subscriber. Geoff.

[@sarahwalker5439]

Keep trying and perfecting your work grow

[@los30x98]

Are you still painting three years later?

[@dessomac8317]

Thank you for your generosity in sharing your talent in this wonderful world of painting. I am an 80 year old beginner from the Philipippines and I find your instructions very clear and easy to follower. May God reward you more lavishly and bless you all the way.

[@RoadLessTraveledRV]

Watching from North Carolina and your painting could be straight out of the blue ridge mountains here in NC. Great tutorial and helped me feel like I can try doing this successfully. Thank you.

[@reeleder]

I really enjoyed this lesson. I especially liked how you explained each step and technique. I am a beginner and will never be a great artist but I enjoy painting. I believe that's what it's all about. FYI....I'm from Canada, I'm 58 and have never even considered picking up a brush. Its kind folks like you that help folks like me take a risk and learn something new. since I turned 50 I have learned to play the guitar and the ukulele. I started colouring and now painting.....the sky really is the limit.

[@johanjohnleach8504]

I am a beginner as well and enjoying your tutorial. I'm from Northwest Province, Chavuma, Zambia.

[@brandonrobinson1603]

United States, you’re an incredible teacher thank you for posting these videos, I can tell these are really going to help me make progress with my paints. Not enough acrylic teachers online!

You’ve inspired me to really persevere with trying to paint Aggie from England

[@ReadIcculus93]

I'm from Chicago, Illinois and just recently visited the Art Institute of Chicago for the first time and became inspired to start painting. This video is one of the first video's i've stumbled across where I feel like I can actually paint along. Great tutorial!

[@juliabeaton979]

Just a quick “thank you” for sharing your technique! I’m a 57 year old professional sales rep, who has always wanted to learn painting techniques. I really appreciated you scaling it down to 3 colors and 3 brushes. I’ll keep viewing your videos to continue to learn. It took me about an hour painting the little cabin at the base of the mountains. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@melaniebonneville7458]

I am in Calgary in Canada. Love your lessons!

[@patsywatson2993]

Thank you for your tutorial, I am a fairly new beginner, painted in high school so had some of the basics but refreshing is nice. Now, 62, and retired i have lots of time on my hands and want to pick up painting again. For me it is very relaxing.

[@BirdsBumpin]

49:01 I’m from Toronto, been painting for a year, watched a few KZbin videos..but totally agree with a some of the other comments, that this tutorial was by far, the most simple and your painting is just beautiful in all it’s glorious detail. I’ve been doing lots wrong and will watch this beginners video several more times and try to master what you accomplished in this lesson. Thank-you so very much🙌🏻

[@zs3571]

Hi there, from Johannesburg, South Africa. I can't draw a tree, but being in our 2nd month of lockdown I started to watch painting tutorials. I'm definitely going to give your landscape a try. I'm just finishing a sea scape (1st painting ever)! You are an amazing teacher and I'm definitely going to check out your other tutorials. Thank you so much for taking the time to put something together for people like me who would love to paint but have no idea where to start! Zelna

That's beautiful, mate. Done in 50 minutes, amazing. I live in Scotland and I do photography and bushcraft. I've planned to order an acrylic art set next pay day to paint scenes while I'm out camping and to paint off of my photographs at home. I'm hoping to paint scenes of my tent int the woods (Mostly coniferous trees, and or birch and sycamore) by my campfire, hills and burns (streams) with small waterfalls occasionally. What you have done is inspirational. I've had a go at watercolour a number of years ago, but I was quite below average at it. I try to put too much detail in and end up confusing myself. I've tried pencil drawing and had the same problems; though not as bad, I can't seem to get perspective right either. I'm hoping to have more success at the acrylic painting. I've got a really good eye for photography, but I have been making photographs for over 40 years, I'd like to translate that into painting for my own pleasure. Thank you for the lesson.

[@sinjun1973]

I'm 49 yrs old living in Racine, WI. I've done 2 paintings so far following instructors. 1 when I was in Texas and the other online once I got home again. Then I started looking for videos for things I wasn't understanding. Blending for a foggy effect at the end on a dry part for example. You are showing me something I thought I would never see though. I'm still not sure how it's done without making a big mess, but using a palette is an experience. The next painting I have lined up is more than 3 colors and I made a huge mess out of the plate I used with just that! Nowhere as neat as yours. Beautiful painting.

[@missgretchen74]

I’m from Oregon in the USA. I’m 70 years old and about to start my first painting class next month. Came across your Chanel and am learning so much. Please keep teaching us! Your class is amazing!
