The course is available here: courses.mariannevanderdussen.com/offers/sTGLNjHa/checkout Don't forget to use the code, and happy painting!

[@zhongliismyhusband2684]

This is insane considering it's an acrylic I mean they dry so fast! I thought this was an oil painting from the thumbnail! I love it, it inspires me to paint still life again. 😳

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

Thank you so much! The trick is layers, layer layer layer!

[@channelcam2024]

You are so generous with technique, philosophy and personal insight on painting... thank you!

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

Thank you so much, you are so kind!!!

[@tinaatif4569]

Marianne I'm not an artist but trying to be one .....love paintings ...watched your videos and absolutely fallen in love with the way you paint and teach .I'm 50 years old but its never too late I guess.

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

Tina, this comment made my day! I so hope you pick up that brush! This is YOUR life and it’s too short to spend your time waiting to try something that will bring you joy. Good luck as you begin your painting chapter!

[@abeerjehan7039]

Mostly art teachers don't realise that verbal description is far important than demonstration, you did it so well, very helpful. Stay blessed💕

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

I’m so happy it was helpful for you!

[@rebeccakahrs7290]

Marianne..thank you for sharing. I love that you shared your struggle with the background. When I was teaching I always felt it helped students to see that even a seasoned professional artist still struggle and make mistakes and have to step back and rethink things out. They need to understand that painting is a forever evolving and learning process….we should all be continuing to push ourselves to grow as artist no matter how long we have been an artist.

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

I appreciate this feedback sooooo much! I’m so glad I tried it out, and the frustration was worth it if it means other folks will be inspired to keep going when they make their mistakes too. Thank you so much for taking the time to write 🥰

[@irenetornroos2083]

Yes Rebecca. Just like the song , even winners get wounded in the fight.

Hats off to you Marianne for trying something and then, when it wasn't what you wanted, kept it in the video and shared it with us. @@MarianneVanderDussen

[@madelinegrudens]

This is stunning, you really created a delicately rich flower that keeps the eye moving because you can't believe what you're seeing!!! EXQUISITE PAINTING!

[@patriciamckeon8530]

Your painting is absolutely gorgeous ! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with all of us watching and learning from you !

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

Thank you so much, Patricia!!! I love to teach and am so excited to bring this to KZbin. I can’t wait to continue adding more tutorials!

[@mistygeller3193]

That is absolutely strikingly beautiful!! The depth and dimension is so lifelike that you want to touch it!! Thank you for all of your very helpful information!! It is so difficult to learn how to draw/paint both the shapes and colors that you see in a reference image. I literally just sketched out some flowers and leaves that I liked on my shower curtain. I kept reminding myself that although the individual petals do not look like what I imagine they should, as a whole they all work together 😊

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

Thank you so much for this amazing comment! I love what you said about how we should look at the piece on the whole and not necessarily fixate on individual petals. Fantastic attitude!

[@ccostavictor1]

i love what you said about color preconception, i always have my friends laughing when i point how beautiful those blue shadows look a that moment... or how funny the black fur of the dog looks when reflecting every color of the ambient

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

It's so so true! When you train yourself to see past what you think colours should be, the world becomes this fascinating, colourful place. Just don't ask me to choose an off-white colour for the walls, I'll be obsessing over test cans for days because I'm so sensitive to the undertone!

[@tracysplain8666]

I just found your channel and I'm glad that I did. Beautiful peony. I am new to acrylics, so here we go!

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

Yay!!! I am so excited for you to begin your acrylic painting journey!!!

[@prishabanerjee1007]

This painting is close to real and felt so surreal to watch it live !

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

Thank you so much!

[@RajiTripathi]

This is absolutely breathtaking. I have several varieties of Peonies in my garden, and none has ever Iooked as beautiful as these. Thanks for the tips. It is a tough act to follow but I am inspired to try.

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

Yay! I hope you do try!!! My first florals were tiger lilies, and I was so discouraged by the first layer. But I kept going, and about four layers later it was much, much better.

[@RajiTripathi]

@@MarianneVanderDussen you are such an inspiration. 🥰

[@phyllisw3123]

I love florals and have only created one large painting of Peonies. I love watching you paint and your explanations of everything!!! Thank you so much for allowing us to step into your studio!!

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

Thanks!!! I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up the whole responding to everyone thing (it was much easier back when I had 200 subscribers!) but I will always aim to respond to important questions. I'm so happy that you enjoyed the video and I can't wait to create more!

[@michellecote6652]

Dear God! These peonies are sooooo beautiful! I only wish I could paint like this! Greatness!

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

Awww Michelle, you just made my day! You ABSOLUTELY can paint like this, anyone can. I'm currently working on a full length course featuring coral charm peonies, but I'll be offering a free timelapse version to KZbin when it's done, that way if the course isn't something people want to invest in at that time, they can still watch the process and know it's something they can tackle. Thank you for your incredibly kind words.

[@rowanf9026]

[@jenniFaux1]

Your videos are absolutely PACKED full of fabulous information! And your paintings are gorgeous! I love and appreciate how you say how much time you spent on painting this painting. Too many times people think they are supposed to be able to create something this beautiful, and rich, and full of fabulous layers in 11:23 (the length of the video!) Keep up the awesome work!!!

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

I’m so so happy that you liked it!!! Start to finish, this painting took about three weeks, about 40-50 hours total. It’s a LOT of work, but once you’re used to the idea that you need multiple layers, it becomes a bit more comfortable! I’m so happy you’re enjoying the videos!!!

[@megangarcia6991]

I agree about yellow being difficult to get just right… but your tips here are SO AMAZING and needed!! Thank you!

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

I’m so happy that you found it useful!!! Yellows are definitely tricky but I’m doing everything I can to continue learning colour theory and pass along any insights I gain 🥰

[@pamelaann6326]

Marianne, I’ve watched many, many art videos on YT and this, BY FAR, is the best I’ve ever seen. You’re not just showing us your skills, but you’re also teaching viewers how to improve their own skills. And your work is GORGEOUS! You’re an amazing teacher. Thank you! I definitely look forward to your future videos. Question: Why did you utilize, for the most part, one brush size for this size canvas? I don’t know if I’d have the patience to do so, so I’m extremely curious. Again, well done with this piece. 🙂

[@MarianneVanderDussen]

Hi Pamela, wow thank you so much!!! You authentically made my day! In terms of the brush size, I used anywhere between an 8 to 12 flat or filbert when I was blocking in the larger petals, then would size down to 4s and 6s when doing some of the modeling and sculpting, finishing up with detail brushes if needed. On a painting this size I didn’t really do a lot of finicky details.

[@PaulineJavier-cf4on]

I like how you included your mistakes. Most of the time I beat myself for putting layers and layers of paint just so I could correct mine. I thought I was the only one. Thank you for sharing.

Dear Marianne, Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you for putting into words some of the struggles that I've had with my painting. Since U was a child I was able to draw and paint what I saw. However, as I grew older, I became more frustrated and convinced myself that I had no artistic talent or skills. Seeing your video today has convinced me to begin anew in my painting adventure.
