Lol, they don't have to. Have fun playing with varying colors and making it your own :)

[@olivesgal6685]

What I really enjoy about your teaching style is that you not only tell us how to manipulate the paint (strokes, brushes used, highlights and shadows, etc.) but you also explain why. Thank you and I'm definitely going to give this one a try.

I absolutely love cherry blossoms. Whenever I see them whether it be in photographs or in person, it relaxes me. I've always found something quite magical about them.

[@Farazfaisal1234]

Ryan O'Rourke - Artist sir I wish I could show my painting..... inspired by urs

[@Angivel]

Hello Ryan. I want to start by saying you truly are an amazing artist, and a great inspiration. You have a way of making things understandable and easy to apply. My question is, I made a painting of the cherry blossoms, and both me and my girlfriend were happy with it. It goes really well in our kitchen. However, after having seen a post of it, my sister asked to buy it. But we really liked it in our kitchen so I said I'd make another one, as I wanted to see if I had improved any since. I also didn't have the correct colours the first time around, so.. Any way, I made another one after having bought a tube of magenta(I'm not good at blending and mixing colours for the correct shades)Now, a friend just warned me that it could be a copyright infringement on your work should I accept money for it and I hadn't, foolishly, thought about that before, stupid, yes, I know. So my question is, Am I allowed to sell it? I should note a few things. First, upon posting I Do add a link to your video, for credit, secondly, and Obviously, mine don't come anywhere near yours in quality. And lastly, I don't try to Replicate your paintings, I'm not making the same trees with the same branches, or the same moon and clouds, it's more the overall composition.(In one painting I couldn't pull off the mist you did, so I eventually changed it into a creek or river, instead🤣 Having said all that, simply put, am I allowed to take Any compensation, even if only to cover the material cost, or am I solely allowed to gift them away totally free? Again, love your work, and I really don't want to step on your toes in any way. Regardless, thank you for all the inspiration😊

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Hey there! Thank you for being so open and honest about all of this :) I allow all of my subscribers to paint and sell their works created from the acrylic 10 minute and hour long lesson painting series. That includes this one and you are welcome to charge however much you'd like. I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed the lesson and are making things for your home. Keep staying creative ;) -Ryan

[@Angivel]

@@RyanORourkeArtist Thank you, I'm so happy to hear, greatly appreciated😃

[@SeanMahoneyfitnessandart]

Read the book "Steal Like an Artist."

[@heelrunner]

Your videos bolster my confidence in painting. I am an ultimate novice, and I like how you teach without over complicating the process. Some artists make it unnecessarily complicated, and they intimidate me, but you make it seem so easy. Thanks for your videos!

[@dteasdale77]

Wow! This is incredible! Great job! I'm brand new to painting but you make me feel like I might be able to do this painting. I'll try it, but it may be a case of you making it look really easy! :-) I'm not used to buying off of internet, but I'm going to try ordering your book. When I order it, do I get a book or do I get a PDF download. I'm good either way!

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Haha, well I think you will do just fine, David! Also, if you find that you're getting stuck in the painting process I'm happy to help answer your questions here. In regards to the book, it is a PDF download.

[@dteasdale77]

I got the book in PDF format, it was quite easy in the end. It answers a lot of questions I had and I am reading it a few times to let it all sink in. I hope to try that painting this week end. I think painting will be good for me.

[@sehamalghamdi8994]

I really want to draw like that but every time i try to draw it goes completely wrong + ugly 😂

[@nkel6111]

in the lower left side : wouldn't reflection of trees be on top of lake rather than as it is. letting look as if trees are in the lake. for me that detail stands out

[@shetag1876]

Thank you for sharing your talent and skills; your explanations are so very helpful. I'm on my way to the easel!~

[@43.vaishnavikrishnan30]

Can these painting be done by poster colours? Will it give out the same effect?

[@alexsharp3481]

I love cherry blossom trees. This video is absolutely amazing, and I can't wait try it. I made my first pen drawing today after 11 years of not even touching art. Really excited guys!!

[@smoothlight3567]

Once the art bug bites, enjoy the flow ~~~~~~~~ no matter the lapses in time .

[@samahalashtokhy735]

Can i use the Alizarin Crimson and the Permanet Rose instead of the Primary Red ??

[@_ethereal_saturnian]

I went to a wine and paint thing a few months ago and this was the exact painting they taught us how to create. And the exact painting that got me into the idea of painting on my own creatively! Thanks for this.

[@lindakachur4862]

What a stunning finish!! I love your presentation, am going to try to make my painting as fabulous as this. 😍🥰

[@smileesiraj3205]

This is not clear

[@korryjepperson4013]

Grabbing more paint applying it, grabbing more paint applying it, grabbing more paint applying.

[@Mika31699]

thıs ıs realy cool

[@Jaybird0323]

does the square brush you use often for foliage and stuff have course bristles?

[@z.s.2063]

Ps. What brushes are you using? THANKS

[@mizmannilow]

love your paintings, but we do need to see the shape of the tree. can u get those square headed brushes at hobby lobby. What did u ask for. I have looked through 3 catalogs & no square headed brush. Would u mine holding them up for us to see, please. Not being a critic, love your lessons & your paintngs are beautiful.

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

When I say "square headed brushes" I'm simply referring to any brush with bristles in the shape of a square or rectangle. The more common terminology is a 'flat headed brush', or a 'bright brush'. However, the 'flat' headed brush that I use for the trees doesn't come like that. You need to disrupt the bristles yourself. I hope that helps!

[@faheemsaiyed8094]

I definitely don't mind 13 min/ extra seconds, however with that being said..........

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Lol!

[@KodiLove]

whoo hoo!!!! Thanks for doing the cherry blossoms Ryan

[@chrizzecampari7753]

... I really thought 10 mins were amazing, but then I noticed something - at 9:12 we can see two broader trees on the right side.. then when you say "im gonna let it dry" and pick back up, we can see that you clearly did something to those broader trees because you hid their stems by applying white paint which you didnt show..

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Haha, yeah. Honestly, I just forgot to turn the camera back on when I jumped back into it lol

[@maryanne1830]

for people who just want to do lots of practice paintings, is paper ok? Or is it better to work just with canvas? Bc I find the paint blends badly and warps paper but I hate wasting canvases on failed first attempts :P

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Haha, I can't stand painting on paper. As you mentioned, it just warps too substantially.. especially with the amount of water I use. I would advise practicing on small cheap canvas..and if you 'mess up' just paint over it and try again, I personally do that a lot :)

[@TheYashie]

Yus. Been waiting all day for this, then realized our timezones are different. -.- I am not the wisest person alive.

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

I do that all the time!

[@lw9780]

Ryan O'Rourke - Artist Are you a Christian? If you are not I will pray for your salvation.🙏

[@sabastionmuwasi4263]

just painted this, thank you!

[@LindaP1053]

It states 8x10 canvas, however, what you are using looks more like a 5x7. Is that correct?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

While I do occasionally use 5x7 I do believe this one was either 8x10 or maybe 7x9? With that said I wouldn't worry about the size of the canvas. Work with whatever you feel comfortable with.

[@anandwadekar1065]

Make a video on poster colour of cherry blossom

[@cheyannetravis4328]

My mom loves cherry blossom trees, for sure going to do this. You make it look so easy

[@ЛераКет-ш8г]

Как называются краски и кто производитель?

[@irfanhossain1579]

Is it ok to paint the sky in a criss cross sequence like Bob Ross did, to have the same texture and gradient as yours?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

It most certainly is! However, acrylics dry much more quickly than oils so you will have to be a little bit faster with the process :)

[@luesga2003]

Desde Bogotá-Colombia. No te entiendo nada porque poco de inglés pero te sigo, veo todos tus vídeos, me encantan, felicitaciones eres una gran pintor. Un abrazo

[@aislinngraves4291]

Any suggestions for what to use if we don't own an old brush? Maybe a small natural sponge?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

A sponge or cloth could render a similar effect if you apply the right amount of pressure. However, you can also make an 'old square headed brush' fairly simply by peeling back the bristles on an additional square headed brush :)

[@EMBL2011]

I painted this a few years ago. It was my first painting and it's still my best one. It took me much longer and doesn't look as good as yours but I love it. I also added a moon in the sky. Because I like adding moons to my landscapes even if they're during the day. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!

[@hunter_abc_3235]

Can you use the same techniques with oil paints

[@kerriemcbride6681]

Your videos are great. It's been a few years since I've painted as I got interested in making handmade baby albums and have very little space. I have 2 left to make and new storage shelves to get put up, then I'm going to pull out my easel. I use arts and crafts as a pain distraction.

[@winniamelia2384]
