THANKS FOR WATCHING!

[@cwdesigns101]

Your teaching is so opposite than what I had been taught. I was told to throw away small brushes, and use larger brushes. But I could not get used to that method for my style of painting. Then I saw what small brushes you use and you take your time for delicate realism. I am so glad I found your videos. Love them! Thank you for sharing.

[@MrMjp58]

Impressionist/loose brushwork seems to be the choice of most art teachers since modern art came in. It’s ok, but just another way of painting.

[@dbodooley]

Who would say to throw away small brushes? You use whatever is needed for your piece. What if your painting on a 8”x10” canvas are you gonna use a 3” brush lol?

[@alvenhchanne]

There are many ways to achieve the same end result. Even if your technique is considered "incorrect" by some, you can keep using it as your own personal technique if you are happy with what your are getting.

[@jamesbarlage]

I started by watching Bob and Bill. So glad I found MJS and Tischler

[@muskokamike127]

yeah, whomever said throw away small brushes can suck an egg. It ALL depends on the size of your painting. If you're working on a 24 x 36 sure, use larger brushes but doing 16 x 20 you need small brushes to get the details. I'm actually working on making my own fan brush, 1/4" bristles 3/8" wide. Haven't found one commercially in the right size.

[@Surai00]

It's always good to watch an MJS video once on a while to remind myself that there's always a more realistic painter, so I don't need to stress trying to be perfect.

[@jimgardner6473]

Wow just stumbled along this video and not even a painter but man you made this look like something I would love to try. Love when people like yourself HELP other people that are trying to just improve. Thanks you get a big thumbs up.

[@tedjones3955]

Was thinking the same thing.

[@shrikantpotnis7901]

I wanted to learn how to paint the foliage and Deep jungle in background and searched for videos but none of the video was showing and teaching this essential art than Mr. Michael. Today I am very very happy for this great video. Many Many thanks to Mr. Michel.

[@deesewell7677]

Its totally mesmerising. How a plain canvas can be transformed into such a beautiful picture that is so lifelike. Totally inspirational, and you make it look much easier than I believe it is.

[@srm8866]

😯Wowow!!! Absolutely beautiful. So realistic!

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@renetercilla6708]

May I just say that watching you paint is mesmerizing and the music you choose for your videos is absolutely spot on for me! It completely gets the creative juices flowing. Thank you for sharing your work with the world.

[@annalisatramarin5517]

Great! I love trees and your touch is magic to me. I'll try to improve 'my trees'. Thanks.

[@Darkozia]

I could watch him paint all day. :)

[@sammohd938]

Simply amazing. Wonderful talent! I've always been envious of people who could sing, play musical instruments or paint. Have a friend who could do all 3 and I sometimes felt like not wanting to be his friend anymore hahah

[@christinemorin8842]

Very very helpful. Really like this short tutorial.

[@trace6402]

Renaissance man of modern realistic art. Such a soul to share his wisdom.

[@1202nparvus]

You are a great teacher. Very easy to understand and follow. Nothing that you teach is complicated. Thank you very much Sir.

[@mrs.z605]

Beautiful, thank you for showing that technique. Lots of depth. Love this.

[@sharonclaye1300]

Love watching you paint. Absolutely brilliant 💖

[@janmay3817]

My darling man… found you by complete accident! You have an extraordinary talent, leaves me breathless. I’m a coloured pencil artist, but your work leaves me… cannot find words!😮

[@beverleysmith8704]

I’m in a beautiful summer morning looking at your painting. Beautiful!

[@meliss9]

This is mesmerizing and very helpful. Now I understand what I'm doing wrong, it's all about creating depth! Thank you

[@JimmyDropout]

Incredibile green tones... One of your best works for sure!

[@vernonsteinkamp1088]

Fascinating! I've taken photos of different trees, shrubs, and grasses to study textures and colors. I see you have a nice photo to work from, but I'm sure you could work from memory as well to create some realistic scenes. From what I've seen so far, you strive for photo realism in all of your work.. I do the same, except I lean more towards hard, shiny objects (classic car grills, etc).

[@luciamakayed817]

Thank you for teaching in detail and shove as example.....

[@MichaelJamesSmith]

You are welcome!

[@mandybuehler]

So helpful! Thank you!

[@kavitasaxena8205]

Extremely beautiful and amazing realistic art work.... love to watch....👌👌

[@pebblesthecat3625]

This was so easy so understand as I was able to see exactly the method you were describing. When someone breaks down actions into small, concise parts, even the most complicated of operations become easily manageable. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.

[@MrSuperpaco]

Thank you very much for your incredible lessons. I'm trying to replicate your steps in painting foliage using digital paint...

[@NinaNani-pt4mq]

The painting is so fantastic. It is so realistic.

[@rejanefillion9090]

Beautifully done! Thanks for your video!

[@stannyeharris6320]

Thank you for sharing your hard work. I love your detail.

[@flipperdale51]

Another awesome painting lesson. Thank you MJS.

[@muhlenstedt]

Great work, thank you for sharing. I have your brushes and they are excellent, very long lasting. Happy Sunday!

[@michelleannette7994]

Thank you so much for this video. It was so informative. I have all your brushes, but haven't been using them quite like this. I certainly will be trying this technique. Thank you again!😊

[@shirleynoel916]

Absolutely beautiful, thank you for taking the time to teach us.

[@learnwithrida70702]

Unbelievable !!!!!!! very realistic and outstanding painting you have created .... honestly never seen before ....god job and keep it work up the good work !!!👋👋👌👌👌👌

[@penhaus]

This is the tutorial I need. You really need so much patience when painting realistic trees and it's all worth it. Thank you.

[@aztecacastaneda9322]

Excellent greens beautiful painting

[@tedjones3955]

Absolutely amazing! The trees looked like a photo. I love realistically painted, uhm...paintings.

[@Jooligan1]

Incredible realism !! Thanks for the upload Michael

[@mimisart]

As I’ve shifted my focus to more photo realism paintings I’m so grateful for your content!! I learn every time and it helps me tremendously. I use acrylics vs oil so just need to work a bit faster 😊

[@UATU.]

I’m using your techniques in felt painting, thank you!

[@Enkaptaton]

Congratulations on 1 Mio subscribers. What an ideal point to start a tutorial series on how to paint like Albert Bierstadt

[@cherylhee9762]

Thank you for the enlightenment! I always thought you were supposed to block in dark and add layers on that. I'll try your way next time!

[@vanessamcfadden8335]

Thanks for the wonderful lesson . Great job

[@ldrive52]

Excellent demonstration

[@ashleym1565]
