The painting is beautiful, thank you!

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you very much! I hope to see you for more paiting tutorials soon - Paul 😃😍😎

[@PaintingWithYovette]

Very cool Paul, and different. Loved it. Hugs ❤

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thanks so much Yovette - Its a nice change to try a new sort of scene. I'm sure it won't be the last - have a lovely week 😃😍😎

[@Cheryl1990]

Your painting is absolutely gorgeous! So dreamy-like and subtle but appears to be very detailed. Thank you Paul. 🥰🥰😁😍

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you so much Cheryl for your kind support and comments. Your coffee cup donations are the lifeblood of my studio and I really appreciate you taking the time to watch. Here's to the next milestone 10K subscribers! - Have a great week and happy painting - Paul 😄🥰😍😎

[@srm8866]

Wow, what an amazing painting, Paul! The detail work that you done was superb, and it turned out fantastic. Especially for your first street scene! Truly a master at painting and your work is an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your art and vault of knowledge. Have a great week ahead and take care during these challenging times. Cheers, 🥂😊👍 _PS - even though I was here in the room, I actually missed the live stream. My dog decided to make a mess of my dinner that was cooking in the crockpot, and I had to clean it up, so I just caught the replay, HaHa_ 😄🍱🦮

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi Steve - sound like the dinner was in the dog! Yes this was a fun project that cam together really well. I feel encouraged to dry another street scene too. Hope you give this a try - now, whats next ....ahh yes .... thats been on my list for a while 😃😎 Oh and a big thank you for the donation to my coffee cup - say hi to mrs angel too and fido 😃😎

[@donproctor3445]

I like the stick with the hook. Ill have to make one of those

[@PaulRansonArt]

Yes Don, its great to have somewhere to steady your hand for the finer detail. Mine ( they're called Mahl sticks BTW ) is an old stick of wood I used to stir cans of paint with an old door hook screwed on to it. I added some masking tape to get a little better grip on the edge of the canvas. A rubber band would also work well - Paul 😃😎

[@cliffordpj5620]

Brilliant

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you so much. I was pleased the painting worked out so well. As I mentioned I'm a seasoned painter on most subjects but this was a leap into the unknown and one I hope more folk will take - Paul 😃😍😎

[@corinnedanel9899]

Very successful Paul ..bravo

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you Corinne - yes I think so too. I enjoyed this so much I think I'll be painting some more for the channel - so stay tuned - Have a lovely week - Paul 😃😎

@@PaulRansonArt thank you Paul and you too lovely week

[@davidkendrick3707]

Once again great painting Paul. I think I might try this one.

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you David. I had a wet street scene as something of a right of passage for an artist. So I thought I had better get on with it! Turned out nice again (reference to George Formby - Standing on the corner of the street ) so have a go too - Paul 😃

[@wwboydsr]

Excellent work!

[@PaulRansonArt]

Many thanks Walt. Lots more tutorials to come!😃😎

[@vickiepowers4644]

You are amazing

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you so much Vickie - truth be told - its all down to practice ... and making a lot of mistakes! Pleased to pass on a few of the things that helped me. Happy Painting - Paul 😃😍😎

Hi Robin and Mrs Angel - thank you for the Super Thanks your kind as always supporting my channel. Hope alls well and look forward to painting for you again this Sunday - well maybe not so much painting this time. So what am I doing? 🤔- paul

I to jest prawdziwa nauka dla laików Czarodzieju, pozdrawiam Cię serdecznie ❤

[@PaulRansonArt]

Dziękuję bardzo za miły komentarz. Wciąż jestem początkujący w scenach ulicznych, ale jestem pewien, że to nie będzie ostatni - miłego tygodnia - Paul 😃😍😎

[@heatherragazzone2172]

Absolutely stunning! Love this one (like them all but this is fantastic)👏👏👏

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thanks so much 😊Heather - yes, something very different but a lot of fun. I'll paint some more 'out of my comfort zone' paintings soon - hope they all work out 😃😍😎

[@WilliamHedison]

😊 great painting and colour mixing advice..I do struggle on mixing some colours..thanks Paul ps..say hi to the cats making their apperance..mine pester me aswell when I,m buisy but there again the dog is usually at my feet😅😅

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thanks Billy. I hope the tutorial brings home the fact that we can sometimes be way off with shapes and colors and still have a lovely painting at the end. I used to get bogged down with matching the reference photo's and details to the point where I would just quit a painting. But over time I realised its maybe not as important to try and get every detai right. Unlike say playing the piano where every note counts, art is far more forgiving. If we let ourselves off the hook!

[@Metalgods74]

Such a cool painting, it came out really well!

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you so much - yes a fun painting and better than expected TBH. 😃😎

[@jackcasement2892]

Bravo Paul for stepping out of your comfort zone to paint a subject for the first time. And what a job you made of it. Beautiful. I should really have a go at a rainy scene, as we get plenty of them over here in Northern Ireland. More of the same please. Jack

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi Jack - yes something very different - we've had our fair share of rain here too! Our garden has been a bog for so long now - even the cats have welly boots! 😂

[@hughtempleton8640]

Absolutely beautiful painting, Paul ❤

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you so much 😀Hugh 😃😎

[@juliestropp4713]

Great work, Paul!! It was nice watching your process! Thank you! ❤

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you Julie - I love watching other artists at work too. You can pick up so many tips and ideas - Maybe try your own street scene 😃😍😎

[@mrichling1]

You showed me how relaxed you can be doing this. It's a style that I've always wanted to try and now you have inspired me. Trees by a lake and the mountains off in the distance can now take a back seat to street scenes. Will be looking at your other vid's. Thanks.

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi Mike - its nice to take a break and try something new. I dabble with lots of stuff (apart from oils) and this was a subject I've wanted to paint for a while. Luckily it came out OK. Lets see whats next. 😃😎

[@jonwhaley1135]

Very motivational Paul. Excellent work!

[@PaulRansonArt]

Glad you liked it Jon. I'm sure it won't be the last street scene. In fact I have anther idea already brewing in my head. Stay tuned 😃😎

[@brad71r]

This was your first shot at a street scene?!? Incredible! Your experience and talent shine through on this one, Paul. I agree, this channel is phenominal and deserves more attention. And yes, we would like to see more of the kitty! 🙂

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi Brad - yes, after a few years of tinkering with art you get a feel for it. I tend to look at a new subject with a more analytical approach. This makes the whole project look way less scary and more achievable. My next one is another exciting project. Will it turn out OK - well lets see. BTW even if its a bust I'll still film it and we'll analyse the pickles together ! Have a great week - Paul 😃😎

[@PaulMack1249]

Very well done, Paul. I’ve always been a landscape painter but your tutorial has given me the desire and confidence to try this. Thanks!

[@PaulRansonArt]

Great to hear Paul. I like trying my hand at lots of different subjects. Some I enjoy more than others. I think I could get into street scenes after trying this painting. Hope you enjoy this too - Best wishes - Paul 😃😎

[@kennethmurphy8585]

This is such a nice departure and so charmingly done. What a cozy scene. Your advice on details/no details is so well said and very comforting and encouraging (as is all your tutorials). Thank you Paul!! (The cat door always makes me chuckle, always. Sometimes when I’m watching your videos I can hear our cat Bruno make his way in or out through his cat door and I just still chuckle.)

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you so much Ken. Its not until you try and record something you realise just how often the fur babies use the flap. Lots more paintings to come and I'm sure another street scene will be on the cards - Paul 😃😎

[@julieismert4874]

Very helpful to watch your steps in painting this. It turned out very well. I may give it a try. Thank you for sharing

[@PaulRansonArt]

I hope you do Julie. It turned out very nicely - better than expected if I'm honest - I'll try some more later on - That will tel me if its beginners luck or if I'm onto something I can do without a big pickle samdwich! 😃😍😎

[@sharpmountaingames9303]

Thanks for stopping by and watching. As a first off it was a good learning experience. Hope to do more of this in future - Have a great week - Paul 😃😎

[@joncowles1338]

I decided to try hand with this painting. I felt a bit intimidated at first. That feeling soon melted away and it was an absolute joy to do.

[@PaulRansonArt]

Wow, thats brilliant Jon. I must admit to being a little out of my comfort zone with this one too. But the more I did the better it looked. I think another street scene is on the cards. - Paul 😃😎

Beautiful painting Paul and I will definitely give it a go, and your Dorset bridge tutorial turned out amazing for me as well. Looking forward to next Sunday 🐈🐈‍⬛🫖☕️🍰👍

[@PaulRansonArt]

Yes I hope you do give this a try - luckily more cheese than pickles this week ( maybe I got lucky?) So pleased the Dorset bridge paiting worked out well too. Next week - or this week - something else on the easel 🤔but what? - Paul 😃😍😎

[@antoniomiraglia2065]

Hello paul.. very amazing new subject in this paint. This is very important to improve new tecquinique, new skill to our paint. Only a question: can i use medium to mix ma oil colors instead to passing liquid clear before? Is it the same effect? Thanks for this.

[@PaulRansonArt]

Hi Antonio - yes I showed the bottle of linseed oil at the start of the video as an alternative to Bob Ross Liquid Clear. Just remember its thinner and a drop goes a long way. It might also dry a little quicker so ideal for a smaller painting. Hope you have fun with this tutorial - Paul 😃😎

[@SRTW67]

Hi Paul! This was a great tutorial filled with great ideas for any level of painting skill. As per usual you show us some new ways to make a painting “doable”. Thank you for going the extra mile for us. I am glad you compared the difference between liquid clear and linseed oil. I’m finding out finally how little of linseed oil I need! Also, I am glad that you stated how using a smaller canvas can make us feel more comfortable before trying to tackle a newer project. I have been using smaller ones and they are much better for me; only thing is, sometimes I need to replace bigger brushes with smaller replacements ie. 1 inch brush not 2, even a filbert in place of 1 inch… etc. I have a dream painting I want to attempt like you did (very beautifully!) here. I want to paint a dramatic sky with a rainbow over a seascape. I watched Yovette paint a rainbow and it’s lovely! Could you also put that idea for a painting on your list?😌 rainbows look easy but I still feel like I need several examples of how to do them. The blending of your reflection is really soft and is impressive. The color blend of greys really interests me! I appreciate your help!! Have a great week, enjoy yourself! This about the one year point of my joining in Happy Painting People club!! 😃 I’m so glad I joined your channel!! I’m celebrating by doing the Splashes of Spring painting- again! Happy spring time to you, Teri and the kitty babies! 🌼🌷🌸🐈🐈

[@PaulRansonArt]

@@SRTW67 Hi Stephanie - wow a year has gone by and I'm so pleased to have been a small part of your journey. Scalling down the kit (as you see from the video) is something I did many moons ago. I rarely use a 2" brush for my 16" x 20" canvases. And sometimes a smaller canvas stops us getting into too many fiddly diddly bits ( that's an artist phrase not often used by the old masters! ) I think I should do a few more smaller ones in this loose style. Maybe an abstract or still life? Maybe a step too far? My portraits look like a Picasso sometimes 😄😄😋😋 I have a note for a rainbow painting (it might have been your suggestion from way back) I'd like to play with some ideas and yes Yovette did a great version ( isn't she a doll - a lovely lady I message regularly ) So hold on to your hat this week. Its a whistle stop video! Yep a blast from the past of 'in the field' demo's. Quite literally, we used to do craft shows often in fields under canvas - for the public. So do I still have to touch, the speed, the puff ..... 🤔🤔🤗🤗😋😋 well see this weekend 😃😃

It's so nice...thanks for such step by step video. One question though...are those used oil paint or acrylic? I

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you for watching I'm pleased you enjoyed it - I used oil for this painting - I think I had it in the opening titles ... now I have to go and check ... Have a lovely day - Paul 😄😎

[@derekhayes]

when you have finished your pencle sketch spray over it with a cheep hair spray and let it dry now that will seal your sketch and you can paint over it and it will still be there just try it ,

[@PaulRansonArt]

Great tip - I usually use some old pastel fixative but I forgot - in too much of a hurry to get started. Think I'll do another one soon. 🤔🤔🤗🤗😎😎
