Yeah most stuff online even is complete mediocre bob ross trash. This is like modern transcendentalism. I absolutely love Thomas Cole and the hudson valley art school bunch. then mix in more realism and you get these hyper visual experiences.

[@renatobautista563]

I just bought your video tutorials and very excited to start painting again. I've been struggling with landscape and stop painting for a while. After 25 years of inactivity I got inspired again by your techniques and details. Thank you so much for all your videos. I have so much to learn.

[@Soturi4k]

To be fair you should after 4 years have the understanding and foundation to actually utilize what he is saying. People just starting out, this is arcane to them in many ways. Now granted if you just bought his videos according to the comments, most likely you could have saved a lot of money. Art school is a scam.

It just chafes my butt that people have the audacity to say that you're tracing. They obviously aren't listening to anything you have said or watching anything you do. You are a Master and I love the way you unapologetically just moved forward to let your art speak for itself. You're a class act for that. This work is breathtaking and I learned a lot by watching. I will be going for the whole video! Thank you!

[@Rufus066]

He basically enlarged his own work, why use grids when u can just project, it does the same thing but one takes probably 5 times less time

I agree with you on the use of technology. The old masters used projection too. They came up with the designs and worked out the compositions then had to actually paint it. You are an amazing artist!

[@Beau_JT]

I sometimes don't know when watching his videos if I'm inspired to do art more, unmotivated or just in shock at the pure ability this man contains.

I challenge people who called you out for "tracing" a projection to come up with results as great as yours using the same technique. Some people just love to find faults in others to make up for their lack of talent and work ethic.

[@ollie2244]

He's great at colouring in!

[@jensbasement3862]

Even if he was using a projector, he is still painting with his own technique to achieve such results. Some ppl can use a projector, but not have the skill to paint as he does. But its obvious with how articulate he is, he wouldn't need a projector anyhow. Not that artists who use projectors are in any way hacks. I don't see anything wrong with using a projector anyhow. Who cares how somebody has come to complete a painting? The matter is, they did it using their hands, a paintbrush, and their painterly skill. Everyone has their own creative process and its honestly no petty art snobs business to critic. Let your work speak for itself and no one can say anything.

[@halokosovo1]

lol was about to say the same damn thing

[@alliknowisthatiknownothing8247]

Yeah I agree with you. Also some people don't realize that artists have been using projection devices and tracing techniques for hundreds of years. Its nothing new :l

[@robertchilders8698]

I have used several methods, including Projectors to get a outline. found that you will get many destortions you have to compensate for! never used a digital projector! How good is it? Colors by projector are very "washed" out, so you much enhance and add more intense color. It's alright to use aids! your talent is in the final rendition, in which Andrew is an expert! Aids give you more time for the details and enhancements! I've developed a " raised surface" texture, simulation to embossing, to give it more of a 3-D look! Amazing results, especially for rocks and trees! Still wish I was as good as Andrew Tischler! Learned something new already!!😊❤

[@FreddieElenes]

Using the projector makes you effective and smart. Your experience is vast that doing something laborious is now counterproductive.

[@michellemarcotte7469]

Marvellous. Using a method to project a design is something that artists have done for centuries, you are just much more sophisticated!

[@omarbarreramartinez2033]

Today people do so many stupid things saying it's art, but now we know that it's part of a dark and obscene business. However, watching and hearing you through the process of creating such a masterpiece is an oasis in the middle of all that sh**t. Greetings from the republic of Panama.

[@fayee8986]

Appreciate your honesty with the projector! Now we know they all do it. LOL they're just not honest about it. What does it matter? It's faster. And the finished product nobody can tell if it was projected or it was hand penciled. That's why they all do it. LOL thank you Andrew appreciate you more than words can say. Love your humility! Love your unselfishness, and I say again your honesty!

[@michaelgadsby]

To say this is beautiful is a mountainous understatement... just wow.

[@Chillwell2011]

Thumbs up for using a projector. I also now use one after 30 years of gridding large canvases to transfer the image. I also find it useful to project an image onto different sizes of canvas to find out on which size the image works best. Sometimes I am surprised to find that the image doesn't work at all and I have saved myself from starting a painting that was going to be trouble. On large canvases empty or dead areas become apparent that one doesn't notice on the much smaller reference image.

Only thing I can say about this short video, EPIC.

[@kirenjitjaura3371]

Sonetimes time is of an essence. I agree with you Andrew, there is nothing wrong with using technology with your art. Back when I was in high-school I did the largest painting I had ever done and I didn't think I could complete it in a short period of one full semester ( 3 1/2 months) so I was hesitating until my art teachers showed me how to use a projector to trace my drawing onto the large canvas. With the help of technology it took me only a week to draw it which allowed me the rest of the semester to paint it. It was awesome and I loved the end result. Love this painting too. It's heavenly. Be blessed! :)

[@robertchilders8698]

Many artists have used opaque projectors and had to radically compensate for the destortions! It took talent just to use those things, especially the cheap ones!😮

[@uzeirmustafa2392]

mindblowing, this made my brain so happy at the point when showing the technique about the sunlight

Wow. Beautiful, I would be thrilled if my end result looked like the block in stage. BTW no need to apologize for techniques. Most of us watching could only dream of attaining this level of mastery and projecting a skeleton of the composition is not the reason that the clouds and sun light look like a photograph, or that I could take a cup and literally drink from the up close water.

This painting is one of the best that I have ever seen! I missed the opportunity, when I was young, to go to art school, and now at 53, I still have that yearning desire to paint, but I simply don't have the time. Oh, I paint something every now and then, just to get it out of my system, but when I do, I'm always disappointed with the outcome, and my lack of skill. I just don't have the time or money to devote to learning and developing it. When I look at these paintings of yours, that yearning to paint is intensified exponentially! Thank you for sharing your techniques and tips. I want to learn what I can, when I can. Then maybe when I retire, I can paint all the time!

First is his idea and his design as he said, second you still need to know how to draw and how to paint to manipulate color and forms and shapes. It doesn't matter what you use, if you don't know how to paint or draw it will show. To get to a finish painting like Andrew's works you need skill my hater friend.
