Light Across the Trees | Paint with Kevin ®

[@mastersemmy59]

Yes, Kevin. The highlights on the leaves at the end were the complete touch that made the trees look finished and set in to the painting. Absolutely beautiful! I am an acrylic artist and I enjoy watching you enjoy using this medium. I learn new things from you when I watch you paint. Thank you for sharing this experience.

Hello,you are a super painter.i'm a self taught painter and watching you and all your tips have really helped me. Thanks and be safe.

[@terminator2660]

Tony Kolesar me too , he explains good

[@vivioprea4046]

Kevin, you are my true master. I can’t express how grateful I am for all of your tutorials. Thank you so much🥰

[@IMO-d2]

Love this one! Depth of color is awesome. The background framed by the shadowy foreground pulls your eye into the beautiful falls. The mid-tone low lights on the foreground is so right.

[@MrSilva960]

This painting you made a kind of close up, with that natural elements the trunk, waterfall, some bright lights. So, is one of your best paintings since then. Is quite exquisite painting. I like that !

[@santoshbehera6823]

Captured light beautifully and a sense of peace and running water completed this painting perfectly. 👍🏻

[@josianeholbe]

Magnifique peinture! 🎨😀😀♥️♥️j adoreeeeee !

[@vishwaathraya1]

Nice painting

[@pamketron]

I must say that it started out a mess but Wow what a beautiful painting in the end. Yes it needed the mid tone at the end. When you were just scribbling in those tiny places with lots of different color really made it come to life. Mine would have looked like a scribbled mess! Great job. Glad that you knew where you were going from the beginning! Lol Happy Day!

[@clemildaalves1966]

Kevin,Bravo,!!!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@michaelgentry1196]

I watched you paint for a while before I subscribed and I'm definitely glad I subscribed. You keep getting better man. I did see a Bob Ross episode where he said "I hope your never satisfied. Because, if you get to a point where your are completely satisfied with your painting you might decide to stop painting. And I hope that never happens." But I agree with you too. It's defiantly, definitely ok to be happy with it. Thanks for sharing.

[@asnasart]

Wow.... So beautiful..... 🥰😍😍😍

Hi Kevin. Your videos so enjoyable to watch. Learning a lot from you. Greating from Cape Town South African

[@waymire01]

There are a lot of solutions to extend acrylic paint. I feel like there is a "gap" in knowledge between the mid to late 90's and today... once upon a time there was a huge painting community who was extremely active that went "extinct", and suddenly there has been a resurgence. I often see current artists struggling with things that were already solved, so look to the past. Unfortunately many of the resources simply don't exist anymore (they were pre-digital age) but some are still out there (and I'm seeing quite a few being put online just in the past few months which is awesome).. if you are interested in acrylic in particular check out the Decorative and Tole painters.. while the style may be different the techniques and tools are valuable. Back to acrylic paint extension..the first idea is to extend the paint itself via mediums and additives (called extenders, retarders, or blenders).. from simply adding a small amount of glycerin to your water (typically five parts water to one part glycerin) to professional products designed to do the same thing in a multitude of formats. Just constantly wetting with water isn't the greatest solution, they are water soluble so water actually breaks them down which can negatively affect both the pigment and stability.. you want to add a humectant or acrylic matrix instead. The second is creative palettes... these range from DIY solutions to again, professional premade options. The Masterson Stay Wet Palette is one that I recall specifically, but simply google "stay wet palette" for many options. Many of these allow you to save your paint during use and also while you are away from your painting. I also highly suggest checking out techniques such as glazing and brush loading (double, side, etc) which make your life so much easier by allowing you to "blend" in ways that you simply can't otherwise.

[@ariea9307]

love this episode brother, i feel in there⛰️

[@lisafiraben2589]

Kevin...in regards to your midtone highlight on the dark tree at the end. I don't think it per say needed it but I do think it was needed for balance because you have so much color on the other side. Good choice! Beautiful painting!

[@emiemi4392]

Amazing and beautiful 😍😍😍

[@pamelavenable4042]

You are painting the area called “Eden” at Hanging Rock State Park in North Carolina. It’s a secret pool of water with a log across. Only hike to this area with Ranger.

[@mdjkawther]

I adore your paintings I learn a lot from it thanks a lot may God bless you ♥

[@pedrohenriquevasconcelos2b149]

🇧🇷very beautiful!!! wow 😍!!! I am very impressed with your paintings !!! my influencer!!!🇧🇷Brasil lhe assistindo🇧🇷

[@rosaliaaguilar1241]

Mr. Kevin i have watch your tutorial videos, and its so nice but can you also show to your videos what colors your using for blending to create a good tone of your painting, coz id like to get an idea in color blending

[@kepcar]

It's always a thrill and an inspiration to watch you slap it on and then refine it. Beautiful! But the druid in brown, with the glowing eyes, lurking there at 13:01 - should have kept him. 👨🏼‍🎨😀

[@biblereadingbear3192]

I thought I was the only one that saw that glowing eye brown hoody dude! 😆

[@anjanakamal6347]

I m gonna try this today.. let's see..how it goes....

[@Nitron2097]

Stunning. Hopefully I'm not too late to join your Q&A. I was curious about your mix of gel and white for oil paintings. What is the ratio and how thickly do you apply it?

[@lindalee4014]

Kevin, stunning&amazing work. Did you make this place up? I find this painting very INTERESTING and I know of a similar place where I grew up. They both have many similarities. I feel like I have learned a lot from you & relearned something's. Until next time we paint. Thanks. Bye, L.L.

[@beenasibi6768]

Super ❣️ super ❣️ super ❣️

[@leeaustinarts5237]

Looks great not oil I take it? But acyilic?

[@art_ville]

*Appreciate your work* 😃if you make that waterfall in between then it looks _GREAT_😊

[@kodiak196009]

The mid-tone at the end did indeed add just that little bit of extra depth ...you were correct Sir..

[@pranav.n888]

Hey kelvin can you upload video of your art progress from early age till now? That would be absolutely interesting!

[@laportrayalPainting]

I would love to paint this in my style

[@bernicerogersbooker6333]

Is this acrylic or oil

[@louisemacphail4078]

beautiful but I think the falls should have been brighter . Just my observation love it !

[@irencsillag6359]

Kedves Kevin nagyon tetszenek a videóid és az, hogy milyen részletesen szemlélteted az elkészítését. Sajnos a videóból nem derül ki számomra, hogy mivel festesz. Olaj festékkel , vagy Akril? Szeretném tudni. Mivel az alkotásaid és a szín használata nagyon tetszik. Előre is köszönöm a válaszod!

[@satishprajapati_arts]

Y alla a la izquierda detras del tronco esta el monstruo de los pantanos viéndote con sus hijos amarillos, bueno casi hasta el final desaparece porque lo cubre con más musgo y hojas bueno así lo vi yo desde mis perspectiva 💁

[@U_Geek]

I've lost my motivation for painting... I've let my art become what people wanted not what I love. I went from this Kevin Hill, rub it in and paint the next layer style to a Michael James Smith like layer by layer overly detailed style but kept my old color pallett so it's not even realistic... I hate it(both styles look good respect to every artist) it didn't feel like me...

[@irizjuh1321]

That feeling sucks, mate.. maybe you're too afraid to make bad paintings on the learning journey and thus follow the ways other painters paint. It's really a difficult process. What are you missing? It sounds like you are quite well-connected to the feeling that you know something is not right, not aligned with your natural self/style. Don't give up! It takes a while to explore what works best for you. Maybe take a break and come back to it later if you've obsessed over it too much. Then ask yourself; 'Why do you started to paint in the first place?' That motivation is much more interesting and will provide you with a compass on how to continue on navigating the painting journey. It's okay you feel discouraged! It's your own journey after all. No one has to tell you how to feel and how fast you should go. You'll figure it out. There's no finish line, y'know. It's a lifelong journey; there will always be something to learn! 😊 Patience and reconnect your own inner artist!
