now gives us time to finish the painting before Christmas.

[@PokerMama55]

LOVE your 10 (or 13- lol) minute paintings! In your list of materials I don't see anything about what you are painting on. What are the dimensions, and is a canvas pad, canvas paper or canvas board?

[@daffydilly1]

I'd love to know the exact colors too. Primary blue? Who makes that?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Haha, "or 13" is quite accurate. This was a regular canvas with a wood framed back and the dimensions of 10" X 8". I'm glad you brought that question up, I will try to add it to the description box from now on

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

The exact color is "Primary Blue" :) Liquitex "BASICS" produce it. It's a fairly inexpensive brand, I get it from Michaels. I hope that helps!

[@rudranshgauba6955]

Great work buddy! Could you a spooky one, like a blood moon night ?

[@user-yp3ms1oj3z]

thank you so much for sharing with us your teachings! tbh I'd prefer if you just made the video 5-10 min longer and show us the extra process you go through to make the finer details. bc there's quite a difference between the 10 minute product and the final product and I'd like to see it. but you are very talented and thanks again!!

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Thank you for the nice comment. I do include the additional portions in my more recent videos :)

[@smolshay]

It seems I always have questions but they help me learn lol! How did you pick up the paint on the square headed brush to make the tree trunks? I want to try and replicate that kind of look but I don't want to assume you did it one way and the trees look a total mess

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

I try to keep all of the pigment on the edge of the bristles. If you use a lot of paint it can be messy and hinder your sharp lines. Also, don't apply a lot of pressure, otherwise the bristles will expand and you will end up with larger trunks. I hope that helps!

[@patrickmadembe7020]

amazing!! please lets start christmas paintings!! :)))))

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

I have two new ones up on my channel right now :)

[@lookintoyoureyesbutter-but9784]

Wow that's good not good it's beautiful good AMAZING IT'S THE BEST PAINTING EVER IT'S ITS SOOO GOOD

[@paulinewalden1989]

What is a square headed brush I've got several brushes which one is square headed this is beautiful I don't know if I can do this or not

[@user-gl9su8du3w]

Where did you purchase that round headed paint brush that you use in the beginning? I looked it up and all I can find that's similar is wax brushes

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

I'm not sure, I've had it for years now. However, you could also use a mop brush to render the same effect. They are fairly easy to find in most art stores. I hope that helps!

[@sophiarahmouni7200]

Do you clean your brush when you change colors?

[@wendygoerl9162]

Just out of curiosity, how's the humidity where you're painting? I always have a problem with paints blending INTO the lower layer when I want them to go OVER it. Sometimes I even resort to a hair dryer because I'm tired of waiting for them to dry enough. (Don't know how oil painters manage.)

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

The humidity drastically changes where I'm located. However, I haven't ever really found it an issue. I would highly advise letting your lower layers FULLY DRY when you intent to put a lighter color over top of it. I actually work a lot with oils (off of this channel) and some paintings take literally years. Don't worry about finishing your paintings quickly, just enjoy the process :)

[@baljitkumar1733]

i also same painting creat with you...but i compleated my paintint in 20 minutes...and set wallpeper...on my mobile...thank you...

[@soeba629]

What type of brush are you using (material)?

[@085743699559]

What is that white stuff that you applied on the first place, white acrylic paint or gesso?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

That was just some white acrylic paint. Have fun!

[@verymozart]

So, is that all without water?

[@leahhinkle]

How do you get each lighter green? Add more white?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

In this scenario I just use less and less black in the mix. With that being said adding additional white would also work

Can u do a bright tropical painting?

[@user-ot4vs1mg2o]

Did you use heavy body arcylic paints?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

I use the Liquitex BASICS line. The consistency is actually quite 'normal' :)

[@user-ot4vs1mg2o]

Ryan O'Rourke - Artist ok thanks and i love your paintings! :D

[@annedeguernon8117]

maybe you could show us how to paint seascapes ?

[@janeferraz413]

Why do I always end up with an olivy green colour when miXing blues and yellows?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

The best way to get a basic green is by mixing primary yellow and primary blue. Other blues and yellows can have other pigments in them which may be creating the olivy color. Also, if you add black to your mixture it will mix with the yellow to create a more olivy tone :)

[@rookkolm4246]

What color was the black in the begining of the video my black is way darker

[@rosiekay6253]

is there a place to download and print a picture so I could paint with it as I look at it.

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

You could pause the video at the end and take a screenshot :)

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Definitely, the bigger the canvas the more detail you can incorporate

[@momofp55]

Ryan, I absolutely love your videos. They are so very helpful and I love the way you explain everything step by step. However, you keep saying "square headed" brushes. I have looked for them at Michaels under Artists Loft like you said. They do not have them and have never heard of "square headed" brushes. Are you talking about "wash or flat" brushes?? The manager is an experienced painter and said they do not carry anything called "square headed" brush. Please help so I can attempt to do what you so effortless do. I am so grateful for you and your help. Thank you from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

I call them square headed brushes because it's the best way to quickly describe the actual shape. The technical name for them is "flat headed". I hope that helps!
