Oil Painting Basics Tutorial For Beginners | Realistic Cherries

[@johnwick3661]

Zucchini.... I’m a old man trying to find a new hobby. Actually just started learning, and you taught me more than most. Thank you for your time... I turned the bell on.. look forward for more insightful knowledge.

[@marinajoice]

Same with me... it is really helpful.. thank you very much

[@minettevanheerden8884]

Hopefully not too old (to start painting) woman, trying to start back up with painting, and whatching more videos than doing the actual painting. Can anyone relate? With the watching more videos than actually painting part?

[@maryfarwell-uragallo2373]

Same here, newly retired, taking a local art class and your videos are really helpful for me. Thank you!

[@maryfarwell-uragallo2373]

@@minettevanheerden8884 I was afraid I wouldn't be very good and was just watching the videos. My first painting actually came out so much better than I expected! So now I am painting with the videos and building confidence. Art is so personally expressive and wonderful. Enjoy the journey

[@tom1tomek1]

This is one of the best painting tutorials I've seen on KZbin. Mostly because Lena doesn't insist on her choice of technique and colors is the best. Thus she encourages every Young artist to experiment with their own ideas. Many thanks, Lena.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW SO PRETTY

[@janetpaints3002]

I watched all the way through brilliant I’ve refound my love of painting at over 70 years old and found this very helpful. Thank you. Wish I was younger as struggle with technology you make zooming in the reference photo look so easy. In the middle of this corona virus here in England but not in lockdown so have more time on my hands to paint. I’ve spent the last 48 years of my life volunteering helping others understand the bible and its prophecies now its time to paint. THANK YOU 😊

[@myserinity4779]

Haha I love this comment 🤗 I am thinking about trying my hand at painting too. (Inbetween studying the Bible though, I only have 2 years under my belt) God Bless Janet, I hope you are still doing well through all this mess! 🙏😃

[@jess0324]

hope youre doing okay !! i rediscovered my love for painting during this time too (:

[@maurerevans]

Thank you for your years of ministry. I sure it was a blessing. Now its time to add on to your ministry and paint.

Whoever is reading this, I hope you have a great day! Here is some artist inspiration for you 🎨 ✨ kzbin.info/www/bejne/hai0p6WGlrFnsKs

[@justdeb1107]

I have never painted a single painting in my life and did this one. It wasn’t Rembrandt, but it wasn’t terrible, either. Thanks for posting. It really helped.

[@tamaramurphy479]

These are honestly my favourite videos from Lena ( from a college student who cant afford patreon)

[@markm3853]

I'm another old(er) man chiming in to say thanks for your videos. They've been MOST helpful with my launch into oils. Something as seemingly simple as how to clean brushes left me dazed and confused when I found 10 different ways of doing it in 10 different posts. I realize that there are many ways to do things, but I find your message very clear, consistent and credible. I like your gentle and methodical approach to all of your posts. You are an excellent teacher. Thanks.

[@Jan_Tenev]

I wanted to paint a nice painting. I went to by me some cherries I ate them and except the fact that I will never paint a nice painting.

[@geanieruss1]

LOL Thank you for a good laugh. You ate them huh? lol

I love that how she goes through each and every detail of the reference picture

[@dejavous666]

Zucchini!!!!! Just getting back into oils after 30+ years! Just got an easel and supplies from my wonderful husband for Christmas! Merry Christmas!

[@unstable.unicorn]

dejavous666 happy painting! I just picked mine back up (I was a novice at best, but mostly just self taught) today and I’m so glad I did. I felt like I was missing a part of me this past year. I love her videos!

[@CarrieGrieve]

zucchini. As a beginner, I can't thank you enough. I have been avoiding my paints for months due to 'painting' anxiety. After watching your tutorial, you have re-sparked my love for painting. I will definitely be watching your other tutorials. THANK YOU

[@lzak8650]

Thank you for this tutorial. I just completed my cherry painting and am so pleased with the results. I haven’t painted in ages so I really benefitted from this video😊👍🏻

[@timrosenthal46]

Zookeeni.... Zuchieny ....Zuckeney ...DOH !! Thanks, that was great ...I'm starting to oil paint again after 30 years and need a refresher.

[@alexandratorres760]

I can't believe how precise and particular you are about the details it's mesmerizing

[@AngelineRivkin]

Followed this for my first ever oil painting and it turned out pretty good! Awesome job explaining how to mix colors and how to pick apart the different values. Thanks!

[@ingridmarcos3355]

I will try To do this 1st time painting

[@mellaineeversole823]

Thanks , I have been painting with acrylics and never tried oil. this was a wonderful lesson . Perfect and beautiful.

[@caitlynblair2077]

This is one of the best painting explanation videos ever! Thank you! Seriously, you went into depth and had the right precision.

[@wandamanske8667]

Just started with oil thank you for your video on cherries. I’m going to watch all of your videos! I’m 73 and just started with oils. Thank you very much.

[@essaart3987]

Lena it was very helpful😍. But please, when you have time, make a full tutorial about the portraits. Gridding, toning, mixing flesh tones. I d like to see the gridding part so much❤

[@averyartisticraccoon3007]

EsSa ART I Think she does all that for her patreons , in real time I think. Have you heard of patreon ? It’s where creators of all kinds share their knowledge

[@j9hnck]

Another KZbin artist did gridding on every painting she did during Acrylic April or something * checkout ArtSherpa. She explains a ton.

[@daisypeterson5537]

Thank you for this tutorial, it was very useful for a young student preparing a daunting oil painting for the first time as a project. I love that you didn’t fast forward and showed us everything you did and why. Zucchini and thank you again!

[@oversizedparka393]

the shadows and blue highlights on the cherries were the most helpful tips for me! as always zucchini

[@emmahughes9822]

Thank you for this video! I have completed my first ever attempt with oil paints thanks to you, and I'm so pleased with the results!

[@tgodsroyalartist2829]

Question: did you eat one of the cherries

[@katiebjornberg537]

I bet she did!

[@ForteExpresso]

Ofc she won't throw them off

[@diannelorraine5869]

i know she ate both becuase she got hungry right?

[@Bonita.ch1]

What an idiotic question

[@ImAmazing1397]

This literally just made me crave cherries xD

[@timmorrison1809]

Zucchini…Thank you for your instruction and insights. I am a beginner finally pursuing a hobby that has long sense been on the “back burner “ of my life. I appreciate how you emphasize that these are your preferences and that everyone is different in their methods reaching somewhat the same results. It gives permission to try new things and grows one’s own perspective and creativity.

[@bettireagan]

Such a charming and well made video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ll be watching everything zucchini.

[@LenaDanya]

Betti Reagan thank you!

[@mesamisfreebird]

I just came back home from my long day in hospital ! Watching your first vdo that’s make me wake up ! I forget my painful and wanna learn painting from you ,thanks so much Have a wonderful day

[@doreensadler9354]

Zucchini, not painted for years and watching his has really made me want to try again. You have explained and demonstrated the art better than any other I have watched

[@jordanmongell5861]

zucchini! Thanks so much for this .trying to start oil painting during my quarantine time hahaha. This is so helpful!

[@rebeccawatson2277]

Zucchini! I am obsessed with your attention to detail and the color matching technique you demonstrated. I also really appreciate that you explain the difference between how the colors appear on your monitor vs your reference pic. Thanks for the vid. Very satisfying!

[@andreaseymour6517]

Zucchini! This was a great tutorial, I’ve just recently found you and I’m loving your videos, I still have so many to watch!!

[@johnniesvendsen2173]

ZUcchini!! Finally! you actually explained what to do and why!! as a 73 yr old beginner I really appreciate the great tutorial THANKS *v* J

[@Boop1]

Zucchini 😁 Not only are you an amazing painter, but you do such a great job of explaining how to do sonething and why you are doing it

[@Iloveflowers2024]

Wonderful demonstration. Thank you. Very good tip about paying attention to the color and values within the shadows, that they are usually not just one color and value. I will definitely remember that.

[@jenniferdepesa9332]

The tip about using photoshop to look at the colors and what colors are used to make them is so helpful. THANK YOU ....and zucchini ❤️

[@joanwitteartist]

Agree...zucchinis are in season!

[@zoey6052]

I just bought some linseed oil and brushed because I got oil paints for my birthday. Your video is so beautiful and asthetic you've taught me more than any other videos so far thankyou!

Zucchini!!! Lol. I love your videos! You are a very talented artist and very inspiring! 💗

[@meredithpitts9541]

Zucchini, This is one of my very first oil painting tutorials. Did not know how to apply the underpainting or how to clean brushes between colors. I've been doing watercolor for a year or so, and things are SO different. This has been very helpful. Thank you!

[@sveikimeitenes2948]

I need a medium for oil painting??? I literally just have the oil paint and brushes lmao whyyyy

[@its_esmee]

Me too 😭😭

[@maitriunjia318]

Zucchini! I'm an aspiring artist who wanted to pick up on her oil painting after a long time. This video was very helpful and I learned about so much I didn't even know existed! I'm looking forward to trying out something similar myself. You are extremely talented and excellent at conveying the message so simply. Thank-you so much!

I love Zucchini. I will be trying to paint this with the reference photo. I hope it won't be a disaster

[@liralatanville4129]

I liked the way you guide & make it much easier to adopt most of the part...... Thanks!

[@oldtimer2421]

Zucchini , Wow that was fun to watch , I'm not even a beginner yet, just a thought. I use to paint back in my early 20's, then life happened. Now at almost 70 memories set in my mind. Maybe I'll try again. Have a great day Lena and thanks for sharing

[@luna.lounge]

I have been making art for years but I have been so terrified of oil painting and kept telling myself it was too difficult. But oh my god you made it not only easy but super fun! And I think my cherries don't look half bad either! Thank you for such a fun tutorial

[@deadlovely]

Zucchini! Great video. I've used acrylics and watercolour for years but have been afraid to try oils, I guess because I had this perception from people I knew that it was difficult blending with paint that stayed wet for so long. This video makes the process seem much more approachable then I thought and actually can see the benefit of having the wet paint on canvas. So, thank you! I'm subscribed!

[@Pgarc1a876]

zukini lmao, this video was actually really helpful. I'm in year 10 and just started my Art GCSE. For my second portfolio I have to do 3 paintings, I'm doing Henry Matisse's: The Blue Window (1913), The Window (1916) and The Closed Window (1919). I discovered that he uses oil paintings and to make my artist copy as realistic as possible I want to use the same medium. I watched your other video on oil paints as well as this one. Thanks they were really helpful!!

[@brettedgar6733]

EASY TO LISTEN TO, CALM AND NO CRAZINESS. SIMPLE AND NICE 👍

[@Art_XxXxX]

U said this in 2022 wow😮

[@lindah1409]

(zucchini) I love it! The most important thing I learnt is that shadows are not just about the values (as we beginners often believe), but really about the colours. I think this will make my painting experiments a lot better. Thank you!

[@noelbulandos3918]

Wow I still can’t believe how much this helped!

[@enilas7]

For some reason I always thought to do background first then the object in focus. Thanks for showing us!

[@SheWhoMustNotBeNamed2955]

Zucchini. I love collecting oil paints and I decided that I wanted to try and maybe start painting myself to really learn how it’s done. I have to say, your tutorial is probably one of the best I have seen so far! Thanks so much for it! I will make sure to try this out!

[@christinahanchen4511]

Zucchini, thank you so much for this beautifully presented and very clear tutorial. I'm a complete beginner, so found this so absorbing and helpful. I was gripped from the beginning to the end.

as i was painting this, i spilt all my linseed oil on myself and my painting :') gonna have to wait till it dries now

[@ilovehisdimples2817]

ive never painted a realistic painting ever in my life, it's my first time trying this but oh my gosh. i did it so well. i was so shocked to see the end results of my painting like wth???? i never knew i was an artists 😭😭😭 thank you so much for the helpful tutorial ! 💗💗 i literally love u.

[@jimnicholson6445]

Zucchini to you as well. Loved watching your video and your way of explaining your process was very helpful. I am a new painter (within the last year) and am shifting now from acrylics to oil and appreciated your comments on Gamsol and galkyd gel as opposed to other solvents and mediums, so going to give both a try as I jump into oils. Thank you. Look forward to seeing more of your tutorials.

Thank you I'm taking my first steps with oil painting which is something I have always wanted to do but have not been able to fit it around work and study until now. This tutorial is beautifully explained and something achievable to start off with. Zucchini!

Zucchini! This was a great tutorial. I've taken up oils and doing a class. The tutor doesn't really give us structured technical training but instead guides us if we're having any issues. I've put canvasses to one side for the moment and working on board. I think I'll give a fruit still life a go. I also googled your website. Amazing work!
