Ryan, I just love these 10 minute paintings. I really like how you explain how to do each step. I followed along with you on one of your longer videos of some cherry blossoms and a stream. Keep up the good work and thanks for mixing it up with shorter videos.

[@jamesroberts9703]

LOVE these ten minute paintings. Mine take me more like 30 minutes as I pause the videos and catch up. :) Had some acrylic paints hanging around for over a year but you and your videos have actually got me painting! Thank you!

[@FarmerTeachOTSC]

Thank you for actually listing your canvas size, colors, and brushes! So very helpful!

[@annoommen7278]

I can't thank you more. This channel is amazing.you slowly explained it for beginners or non artists like me.definetly gonna try this out.thanks Ryan.keep up the good works.keep uploading more 10 mins paintings.🤗

[@Kathy-g3i]

I ❤ your paintings and I'm impatient so this is fantastic! I thank you so very much! You Rock!❤

[@wendyst.germain4482]

Another beautiful painting. I love your ten minute paintings. You should do more mountain scenes. This is gorgeous.

[@CindyWare]

I love you paintings AND your way of teaching! Thank you, Ryan, for sharing your talent with us.

[@cassiopeia2830]

Love your clear voice and instructions.

[@SuperCarmen57]

Beautiful lanscape and lesson, thank you very much !

[@sidrakhurshid4044]

❤I love your artworks.

[@lauralittleton9653]

AMAZING!!!! Thanks sooo much. I learned Alot! For anyone who enjoys painting...I'll share a quick story. About 9 months ago I started spending time with an artist....with incrediable talent. I started 'simple'. (painting rocks) as the relationship continued we/I expanded mediums using designs cut out of wood like butterflies, words, & dolphins. So fun! During this process I discovered I LOVE PAINTING. Ok...this is coming from 'someone' who thought she could barely make stick figures. Desire plus technique equates to Incrediable Enjoyment + Expression!!! One of the things I had to overcome was 'doing it right'. My friend would always tell me 'if you dont like it, paint again'. Lol. Recently In the middle of painting an ocean scene with reefs & coral..I took a picture..(I was astounded I could paint this pic) to show a co-worker. One of her clients was present and saw the pic and immediately said "I want it" ...I choked!! We agreed on a price...he said "don't undersale" yourself, and offered more $. Signing off...........".Flabbergasted"

[@curtriceennis2924]

All I can say is that this is SOOO BEAUTIFUL!!! And, I hope mine is at least half as pretty when I do it!!!

[@pmb5005]

Your sunset is so awesome and you make it look so easy! Thanks for sharing!

[@robynlane4830]

You just blew my mind with that rake brush. I always looked at them and thought they looked funny and what in the world would I use that for but... now I must have one! Thank you! :)

[@thisiskenn10]

I hope you take this comment in the best way possible, but that part where you briefly stop talking and then laughed about it was cute. Love it and I love all the amazing art you create on this channel. Thank you inspiring us.

[@patricianorman6664]

I like the Cherry blossom idea. This time of year it would be great. Thank you, Ryan, for the beautiful paintings you do and the instructions you give for us beginners. Pat

[@audreygeddis3269]

Many thanks - love this. I find your calm voice and manner very encouraging.

[@dorothyradley9391]

Great 10 minute painting, actually only 9 minutes this week, lol. I love it and am going to try it on a little bigger canvas. Thank you for the tutorial. xx

[@vijisrik]

Love the way you explain the technique. Creates an urge to pick the canvas right away to paint. Thanks for your tutorials

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

That's the goal! Thank you for leaving such a nice comment!

[@bens.5127]

You are an awesome artist. I always learn something from you! Thank you!

[@mooshibe]

It's amazing how you make it seems easy and as a beginner I feel like painting right away. Your calm explanations are very useful to me, especialy because english it is not my mother language. Thank you so much.

[@janeferraz413]

Just perfect! 👍❤💜💙💚💟💛💖💝💞💕💓💛💚💙. I'm so happy I found your videos! Thank you. I had painted a mountain scene years ago, but just got back into painting.Decided to fix my many major amateur works of crap! I'm my best critic! 😄.well now you showed me how to fix my mountains and surrounding trees. I just blackened it all out except for the sky, then started from blackness. Even the black made it look so much more realistic.😄. I want it to be a twilight scene. But having trouble adding light to the pine trees. But I know I will find how to among your videos.your artwork is superb!

[@TheHistoryTellers]

I absolutley LOOOOOVE YOUR ART! CANT WAIT TO GET STARTED!

[@zaramughal7211]

Thankyou so much dear, you are an amazing painter and an even better teacher. I made this painting and it was loved by all. One of my beginning steps. Thankyou for your precise instructions.

[@kristinavee1012]

Really beautiful Ryan, I can't wait to try this one!

[@StartArtSmart]

Wow... This is Great Artwork. Done in a Snap! ...I created my own version of this in watercolor. And it took me well over 10 minutes... I might have to learn, acrylics :)

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Great questions, Uma! I will try to incorporate them in this months Q&A. Thank you for leaving such a nice comment as well :)

Amazing

[@BabyJinx88]

So on a normal Saturday morning I wake up to the notification of your video. But since now we have a new puppy I was sitting on my couch with a cup of coffee waiting for it lol still a perfect morning. the colors used here were warm and made me happy. Great work as always.

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Haha, that is so nice to hear. Be warned, puppies do have a tendency to get messy..especially around paint ;)

[@arianasolesso9573]

TYVM!

[@disc33]

Such a beautiful painting with the easiest instructions as always. Your work is a joy to wake up to, Ryan. As for the pink, maybe some trees that have pink blossoms? Or a field of flowers :)

[@10bswarupsamaddar33]

what a beautiful picture it was?

[@satishkumar-py8wr]

u r awesome , mind blowing , u'r painting r really realastic .

[@efhoyla2334]

I never noticed it was weird until you said so. Your voice is very calm and soothing which is very opposite to what you look like. You are buff and so manly. That's cool, though. Anyway, I really love this painitng. I like paintings which sunset colors are predominant. This reminds me of your African sunset painting you made weeks ago. Way to go!

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

I also really like working with this set of colors. After painting this I completed a beach scene with the same palette and it should be up around the end of the month :)

[@efhoyla2334]

There is something with that palette that draws my attention. I think it is just beautiful. I am excited for that painting. Thanks for teaching and sharing your works. I or we really appreciate it. ^_^

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Thank you for sharing the nice comment :)

[@jodiceason4282]

Ryan O'Rourke - Artist, I love your 10 minute paintings. I follow along and attempt one each week. I feel like I am learning a lot. Have you thought of doing a desert scene? Also, I have a strange request, have you thought of doing one with the canvas turned the other way? (portrait instead of landscape). I like to put my finished works on shelves and could use one standing the tall way. :) just a silly thought. Thank you again for sharing your talent and helping us learn!

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

That you for the wonderful message; It's great to hear that you're practicing these weekly! I've actually wanted to work on a vertical piece for quite a while. However, these videos are shot in 1920/1080 which means framing the piece is dimensionaly difficult. There is a lot of wasted space in the frame and I find the video thumbnails difficult to craft as I have to cut out 2/3rds of the painting. If I ever find an aesthetically pleasing way to display it I will happily do some vertical lessons :)

[@jodiceason4282]

Thank you Ryan! I did not realize that filming would be difficult that way. Love your work!

[@lalaa7125]

Just a reminder....please pretty please do an underwater/mermaid painting :). Sincerely, your biggest fan

[@RajeshRaj-qq9yq]

i realy want to try it because it's so beautiful 😊😊😍😍👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@acrylicpaintsart7027]

Nice stay creative dear

[@TeriB1956]

Fantastic! Amazing how you make this look so easy!

[@Levi-Friss]

Okay okay okay okay you convinced me to try acrylic painting again the thing is when I use a canvas I'm always afraid or it looking grainy or not blending properly. Mainly how much water does what? I used to almost never use water but I think it's good to.

[@nrkssharps]

I would love to see Japanese cherry blossoms over a pond, or pink bells in a field. Whatever you decide, you always have great awesome, and easy instructions to instruct your students that can't wait for each Saturday to come around, just to see what new masterpiece you're going to do next. FYI I do consider myself a student of yours:).

[@dkb3397]

That is stunningly beautiful.

[@JuanAmaral80s]

thank you so much

[@alancalogaras2064]

Sunset art

[@kariboyd635]

Love them all, wow...Why are they all so small though?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

The smaller size of paintings are smaller to store, quicker to get ideas out on the canvas, easy to paint in a day (vs. spending a week on it) and is also great for testing colour palettes!

[@liulelehe6816]

It looks awesome and I would like to paint it. However, a question, what are the corresponding colors called in W&N galeria? Thank you.

[@liamgaddie2514]

Would this work with lemon yellow?

[@faridayesmin2996]

Oooyaoooo Very nice

[@round2hellvlog801]

I like art

[@85MMM]

Thank you for sharing. I have been learning for a year. What are you sketching with? thanks.

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

I generally use pencil crayons as they don't dilute the paint like charcoal/graphite. I also used a fine tipped sharpie for the trees in the foreground here so that I could see the outline under a thin layer of paint.

[@85MMM]

Thank you for responding.

[@fatimaamorim7067]

Adoro

[@HarmanKaur-kb8ik]

Hey Ryan! Your 10 min paintings are so awesome i loved them all! And I'm learning from you too but i have a question that what size of canvas do you use?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

It's generally listed in the video descriptions :)

[@scopeouthorrorreviews2682]

Do you use water everytime u put that brush on the canvas will i mess up a painting if i forget to add water in certain parts Thats the hardest part for me is figuring out whr water is needed when painting

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

For the most part I like to keep my brush damp throughout the entirety of the process. Keeping the brush damp extends the wet life of the paint and allows me to drag paint farther.

[@scopeouthorrorreviews2682]

Stay Creative Painting thank u!!!

[@scopeouthorrorreviews2682]

Stay Creative Painting ur creations are amazings

[@rkp1969]

My I Know what type of brush are you using for grass and leaves? Please mention it in the beginning of the video

[@labeebbacker5346]

Are u using acrylic glazing liquid

[@CissyBrazil]

I just found you and I’ve made a playlist for your channel. Question, please. Where do you get the drawings? It would help us to know about the drawing. Thank you!!

[@sidneyeehaw]

Mine is so pigmented! How do I get it more blended/transparent without mat medium? How do I get it like that with water without picking up other pigment and making it muddy??

[@itx_alish]

Can i do this with oil paints?

[@janeferraz413]

Hi. Can water paints be mixed with acrylics if we happen to run out of a certain colour in acrylic? I know water paints are thinner, but can they be used without water is needed?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Some people like to create mixed media paintings which are made from varying mediums. This can include both acrylic and water color paints. However, it is important to note that they will create different textures and have different sheens.

[@SwuifYoutube]

I have a question, do you mix it with a bit of water

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

I do try to keep my brush almost always a little damp :)

[@mariapellegrino4815]

Fantastic once again !! Perfect timing also as I am about to attempt a sunset at the last stage going into night and wasn't sure how to go about getting a light glow as I need it almost white. I am paint my friends reference photo. I would love to send it to you but as she is a professional photographer I would have to get her permission to. Thanks again :)

[@rashmipote4457]

Amazing! As always:-)

[@maureencronin1075]

You are awesome!!!

Did u use water in this painting

Hmmm this is going badly, I think my background was too wet when I started putting in the mountains as it's trying to blend together. Going to let it dry and try to fix it.

[@marjemacmillan1334]

Can I have that green brush of yours mine never work as well as yours just kidding beautiful asnalwats x thanks Ryan
