New Day Dawning - Thomas Kinkade Behind the Scenes

[@brendachurch7503]

Why do people feel the need to make rude comments! He was a great Artist & brought great Joy to millions of people through his paintings

[@Grace-zo2lg]

And makes millions of dollars, too!!!

[@ianmeadows537]

The way I always put it is other artists are jealous because he found a way to eat and they’re still starving. He was a tortured soul but a great man.

[@davesvideos]

His Cottage Gallery in Carmel is a gallery I started just a little while before that. I agree, though his work is not of my taste generally, he was a great artist and brought joy to Millions.

[@jenniferreeder1369]

Even though your gone, I find I am still learning so much from your videos...I hope you did lots of videos,i watch some every day You were a great artist and I miss you.

The Legendary Artist 🎨🖌️

[@uknowsalome1]

I love how every single window is lit. Almost feels like there is a lot of energy coming out from each house he paints.

[@brucelawson642]

He was an excellent artist and teacher.

[@thetawaves48]

Thanks, Thomas! You brought light and happiness to thousands.

[@LEE-kq9tq]

Watching a master do it... while it still seems intimidating is still really helpful for a newbie like myself. So grateful he decided to share his techniques with the world.

[@craigduncan4826]

Absolutely no question he was an incredible talented artist. Not to say there aren’t a million more like him but he painted beautiful pictures.

[@Grace-zo2lg]

I just watch this today for the first time and it is September 16th 2019. I learned more from just watching this video in the last year from any other video I have seen on KZbin. Thanks you Mr. Kinkade. You truly are the best 🙏

[@mariorivera8117]

A friend toll me that he dead already

[@kimijonghighball9626]

I walked down the streets of Placerville, CA, only to be in his presence. I stopped and looked inside the Kinkade art studio. It was late and on a Sunday evening...not too many people around.

[@flipperdale51]

I've always loved the way Thomas K. painted clouds. I wish he would have gave a tutorial. R.I.P..

[@markwelch2040]

As an artist its easy to understand we are all different from others, especially in the case of Thomas Kinkade, he was one of a kind. He's missed by many. RIP...

His paintings just evoke such peace, poor guy, he really did have it tough at the end

Me Too.. God loved Thomas kinkade that's why our Lord got him

A lot of people, debunked his paiting and criticized him, etc.. But a lot of people loving his painting.. I watched Mr.Thomas back in 2008, And until now, I always adored him and admired him, I love you Thomas Kinkade, We All Love You.

[@agwbcfjc2]

Mr. Kinkade, your message of bringing hope to someone in difficulties, has touched my troubled heart, in a time of trial. Thank you. God Bless. I pray that God's will for your life and salvation has been fulfilled through His Mercies in Jesus Christ.

[@reneghirardi6767]

I realize this video and the comments are years past, but does anyone know his process for re-sketching - or re-drawing - with charcoal and not get the mess from mixing oil paint with charcoal? Does he somehow 'fix' the charcoal? If so, how? I saw him use this technique in one of the other videos.

[@Disirablepossessions]

Do you seal the charcoal before continuing to paint?

[@yvemunoz1742]

He did not.

[@adarkerlight]

Wow, very interesting to see how truly detailed he was. And painting on top of charcoal? Is he using acrylic?

[@pasqualetartaglia9639]

Probably,with the help of an airbrush,

[@psgouros]

Liquin, that he mentions early in the process is an oil (well, alkyd) medium

[@Lsalvatore]

Is it just me or does he never explain the pastel drawing and where that goes? Does he just paint over it?

[@brodycarcella4047]

He doesnt explain much. Even in this everytime it cuts away, it comes back differently. Not just further in the painting, but completely different. I feel like he wanted to show a painting, but not make it a tutorial so his processes were still pretty secretive. Theres alot thats not explained. He is one of my favorite artists, but idk. I dont think this felt genuine. It felt like its like a shtick that he is sticking with because its what people liked. The overly sentimental, religious, and deep person. It just seemed overdone in this video. In my opinion.

[@christinedavidson3796]

He is so right about God touching an artest❤️

[@donnamarie5395]

i never know if he is using oil or acrylic..i think he uses acrylic first, it dries and then uses oil on top? but nor sure

[@chriswhitehouse8982]

Yes, in later years he did exactly what you said. Much of his earlier work was pure oils.

[@naomikaffe1]

Siempre ,me han enamorado su obras ,trasmiten ,paz, armonía, respeto por la naturaleza y belleza que solo un gran Artista como Thomas Kinkade transmite.mi favorito la Storm Light,.

[@Anthony-lv9lr]

is it me, or is it weird that we don't really see him painting hardly at all in this video? its just time lapsed. and when he does put brush to canvas, its not really showing any techniques. very weird. he puts two dots of paint on the canvas then talks for 5 min. then he cuts the camera off. when he cuts it back on the painting is almost done. i love his stuff but his videos are odd.

[@Aussiemarco]

Simple answer to this - his videos weren't tutorials, they're marketing tools. He didn't want to give away how they were painted, he just wanted to promote the paintings to potential buyers.

[@glenneric1]

Also he didn't crank out paintings in 30 minutes. It would have been a 2 hour video.

[@richardwebb2348]

At last, the true story: Evangelical paint-by-numbers artist Thomas Kinkade once was revered among Christians as the 'Painter of Light,' known for his sentimental scenes of country gardens and pastoral landscapes that led to a commercial empire worth $100 million a year. His life was much less pious, and far-less glamorous. Estranged from his wife, he was found dead in his bed with his much younger mistress. Published reports about the years leading up to the troubled artist's death paint a much different picture than the pseudo heavenly landscapes that earned Kinkade millions - it includes drugs, alcohol, 'territorial urination', misogyny and sexual harassment. He lived in "one of the finest examples of a California Craftsman architectural cottage" in his street. Praise be.

[@rosered103]

yea...really huh. What a hypocrite.

[@contagiousintelligence5007]

So what

[@THELOVEOFMYLIFE89]

What does that have to do with his paintings? We all have faults and sin in our lives , wouldn’t you agree Richard Webb?
