Thank you for sharing your talent again Eric. Whenever you put a new video out I'm like a child on Christmas morning desperate to see what Santa has brought. Your work is as amazing as always and is my biggest inspiration. I wish the amount of times I watched your videos would somehow trigger KZbin's algorithm so you would get thousands more views and subscribers. I think so many artists are oblivious to someone with your talent (one of the THE best british wildlife (and portrait) artists currently working) and how much you give to us. You have inspired me to continue art and keep dreaming about becoming professional at some point in the future. If I succeed you have been one of the key factors in that happening. Thank you 🙏

Wow! Thats such a nice comment for me to read. I really appreciate it Thank you!!!! Your words mean a lot to me. :)

Art is just majic and watching it being done gives you the satisfaction of how it is happening. Thank you for sharing

Thank you for your kind comment! :)

Beautiful! I learned from this video to figure out where the lights and shadows will go and mark them early on to establish reference. Also always love when the eyes are put in, and that moment when the background grass first appeared in the painting was magic! Great to learn reflective qualities... how you put some tiger orange in the background and some green in the tiger. The layers look like you work dark to light, and light seems to come forward and black receeds to the background. Beautiful artwork! Thank you for sharing this video!

[@ericwilsonfineart]

Thank you Angel! I feel very happy that you enjoyed the video so much. :)

i did have to find out what microcosm meant ! fabulous Eric x

[@ericwilsonfineart]

LOL ...Its a great word!

[@douglaschandler199]

You are in a league of your own! This is the second video of yours I’ve watched the first was the snow leopard with the twice over background (both were GREAT) but I understood the choice you made. Flawless. Thank you for posting these amazing videos.

[@ericwilsonfineart]

Thank you so much Douglas! I really appreciate your comment. I'm pleased you liked the videos. The best is yet to come!

Fabulous work as always 🎉

[@ericwilsonfineart]

Thanks again! :)

[@Mellibeee]

Just HOW?! I could not have the patience to also wait for the paint to dry. Wish to paint with oil just once, maybe in the future. I guess I have to learn more and more to get to this level💜

[@ericwilsonfineart]

Thank you! :) I enjoy doing it, so it really doesn't feel like it requires any patience on my part. Doing other types of work certainly does! 😀 but generally not for me with painting.

[@earthkindsanctuary]

I found your channel through your website and THIS was the first video of yours I watched and THE video I needed so much to see. I do hyperrealism but tended to focus too much on the details in the past and now I'm focusing on the values much more. I've always struggled with wanting to draw/paint bigger and never had the confidence too. This video gave me such a strong sense of confidence that 3/4 of the way through this video I had tears in my eyes. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful demonstration of your work, it's been so inspiring. I look forward to seeing more.

[@ericwilsonfineart]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. It was so nice to read.I really do appreciate it and feel happy to have inspired you. :)

Thank you Sadaftoday!

[@judithgoulden972]

Thank you, very informative and of course beautiful. Ive spent years wanting to paint still life...or maybe the odd landscape...but...can't stop painting animals.

[@ericwilsonfineart]

I feel your frustrations Judith! Still life and Landscapes are calling out to me everywhere I look.

Hi Eric l recently discovered you and your talent, l like how you applied shadows and lights.

I don’t understand algorithms? This video is amazing only 2 thousand views! I’ve seen this one at least 3 times, and the snow leopard easily 4 times. Phenomenal art. I am trying to learn and get better! Thank you for these outstanding videos.

[@ericwilsonfineart]

Thank you so much Douglas. I don't understand algorithms either 😃 I think they would like me more if I posted more often, but Im more focused on actual painting than youtubing. I prefer quality over quantity and unfortunately these robots don't recognize that.

[@douglaschandler199]

@@ericwilsonfineart fantastic gorilla painting I just finished watching your other video. Have you ever painted any marine life? Also your backgrounds are always stunning!

[@gayathrikumar4568]

Hi, beautiful! I would like to know the colours used for this lovely painting.

[@ericwilsonfineart]

The tiger fur was yellow ochre, raw umber, burnt sienna and burnt umber, tinted with a small amount of Pthalo green.

[@lamontcranston8181]

Absolutely amazing painting. By chance, could you please tell what the name of the song is that starts at about 13 minutes? Thank you.

[@ericwilsonfineart]

Thank you for your comment. I'm very sorry. I couldn't find that piece of music again. I must have deleted it. All I can tell you is that I got it from Artlist.

[@NyesigaVicent-dr9zp]

Hmmmm😊

[@ellesmith1765]

I am fairly new onto using oils and trying to use good products. You said you used walnut oil in your paints. There are so many different brands on line. Which one do you use?

@@ericwilsonfineart thank you.😊

[@firstlast2034]

Well, what about the oils? Aren’t they from oil also?

[@ericwilsonfineart]

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking about there. Do you mean the toxicity? If so there's no problem with OIL. The problem is the SOLVENTS used to thin oil paint.
