LOVE your 10-minute videos! This is the first one I painted... although, with stopping the video from time to time, this painting took me about an hour. My husband was AMAZED at the progress of my skills! Thank you! 😎

[@carolinarozo3737]

me too

you all probably dont care at all but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!

[@jacksondraven3287]

@Byron Aarav thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@jacksondraven3287]

@Byron Aarav It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my account :D

[@yousraadly7341]

I would paint it on house wall as sitting room part of decoration , really relaxing and spirits lifting view , thank you for inspiration. ☺

[@nancykane6609]

I think you are a great teacher, and fabulous artist. I feel encouraged in my own humble attempts to 'stay creative'! Thank you!!

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Much appreciated, Nancy. Thank you for the wonderful comment!

[@mawong6067]

Thank you for your teaching. You always highlight the important points that beginners often omit in their drawings. For examples, the reflections angles of the plants on the water and the highlight on the rocks. This skill brightens the drawings. I have followed your teachings and the results are good. Much appreciate your sharing.

Oh my, Annette! I am an old Irish woman in the states. Hello from N.C.!!! 🍀

[@cafeohlej]

What a wonderful painting with great instructions! This is my first youtube tutorial and you made it easy to follow as a beginner. I was given plenty of compliments but I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you Ryan! -Ashley

[@doublehelix1185]

You are a great teacher Ryan! Ty. I have struggled with waterfalls to the point of tears lol. But you show us, explain so much! More than others do. Thank you again love! This is a gift heading across the nation and it looks beautiful. 💕🎨💕

[@Gigiridgway]

You’re a great art teacher, thank you

[@pennymozell4909]

You are a great teacher. I have been looking for someone online to help me with my skills. I finally found you. Thank you.

[@Nutty68]

You're awesome, I like that you use a small canvas. I get them for a dollar each, they're my practice boards. When I improve my technique I go onto bigger canvases. I'd like to thank you for helping me achieve a little better style. I've got 4-5 oil and acrylic artists and 4-5 sketch artists I've been watching for the past 5months. A great deal of gratitude to you guys for the amount of time you dedicate to your fellow man. You've giving me the chance to create something nice in this world and hopefully I'll get better and be able to give back to others what I have learned. Thx again and keep up the great work👨‍🎨🎨🖌

[@user-kv2sc4bv7r]

what a lovely painting! when i look at your thumbnails i always can't believe that this was done in ten minutes. i love cherry blossom trees, they remind me so much of japan, great job!

[@colleenpedder5715]

I am loving your paintings.

[@ashleelouiserehe7821]

You are the best teacher. I am the type who can’t draw a stick figure without it looking all kinds of disabled.. but I actually did this. Well. Lol. My 2 favourite things in the world to look at. Now I can paint them Thankyou so much ❤️❤️

[@mattman88108]

I just got into acrylic painting a couple days ago. I have been watching your videos non stop,they have helped alot. I love your work

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Very happy to hear it :)

[@janefonda8560]

Such a wonderful drawing..

[@akhu3188]

Hello Rayan, I am a beginner in painting and i must say you're 10 minute vids are extremely helpful and i learned a Ton from u in such a short time, i would like to ask you maybe later in the future could you make a more advanced version of this? Lets say like a 15 minute or 20minute video, thank you again for ur amazing tutorials :)

[@carmensol34]

This is so far my favorite! Thank you

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Awesome! Thank you, Maria!

[@Debbyiamme]

This is an excellent painting; I love it. I wanted one on waterfalls but didn't want to bug you; as I see a lot of people request things. I figured you get to one sooner or later and that you did spectacularly. Thank you, Ryan.

[@netehope4162]

Another stunner. You are a great motivator and I have actually learn't something here such as waiting for the dark paint to dry off before adding the lighter tint. Yes you are also a great teacher and that you encourage your viewers to keep going despite their mistakes. Keep up the great work.😊

[@Xera.6]

2 days ago, I stumbled upon your channel to watch a tutorial on painting starry skies (since I'll be painting that soon as a gift for someone) and I've been binge watching the rest of your videos since then. Your work is amazing! Thank you for uploading them.

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Much appreciated, I hope the starry sky piece is going well. (Also, I love the hair!)

[@Xera.6]

Ryan O'Rourke - Artist haha thank you! I'll send you a photo (most probably on your Facebook page) once I'm done ^^

[@askthefrog]

I absolutely adore your videos! They are both really helpful and pleasing to watch. You cover all the basics, however, the results are far from basic. This, to me, is very inspiring! I also wanted to share a tip with everyone: Never throw away your brushes! That way you will have a whole set with interesting bristles! I have got some brushes that are over 15 years old! They work beautifully for creating different textures! 😊

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Much appreciated and that is a fantastic tip!

[@dell4277]

That was awesome..I'm doing this one

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

When you finish it send me a picture over on the facebook page! I'd love to see it! facebook.com/StayCreativePainting/

[@debbie9964]

I've noticed that most of the artist only use the basic colors of the paint instead of using the different colors of paint. Is there a reason that you don't use the colors that come in a set of acrylic paints? Example, pinks, grays, Yellows to gold, etc... I love the 10 minute paintings that you teach. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with others. The end result of them are always stunning. I hope that you'll have time to answer my questions? Again, many thanks for sharing.

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

It's a fantastic question. However, it requires a bit of a loquacious response. With that in mind I will save it and go over the idea in the next Q&A video :)

[@1homemademom]

im so glad you asked that question .. was wondering the same thing also how they are able to mix alot of diff colors just using 4 to 5 colors ..

[@Debbyiamme]

I think that this falls in line with color theory and the color wheel. Ryan would know best but I've just been watching a lot of video's on color theory and the color wheel and I've noticed that a couple of artist will challenge us to do 50 to 100 paintings just using the primary colors and to make the colors on the color wheel and white; meaning to make all of your own colors just from the primary colors of red, blue and yellow. There's also a way of making all the colors on the color wheel using cyan blue, magenta and yellow. But I'd keep it simple if you're just starting out and use the more popular primary red primary blue and primary yellow. Some artist say to use have white and black but the last one I watched just added white because you can make black from the primary colors. I think it's a good idea for serious artists to learn all this about color theory. I think that if you're just painting for fun, like me, you can just learn the basics on color. I'm just trying to learn the basics and play around basically. I'm almost 60 and don't expect to be able to spit out a master piece like so many here are doing. With that said, some colors just fit in better when you cool them off or warm them up with the color on the opposite side of the color wheel vs going directly to black. I hope that makes sense. I couldn't help but try this and it really works. I was surprised that red was a greyed down red by adding the color green. In my painting it was much better than adding grey or black. I'll be looking to see what Ryan says to see if I'm understanding my colors correctly. So, please wait for the pros to tell you rather than with what I'm saying. I'm still new at all of this. I've only started painting in February 2017. It's a good question. Good Luck.

[@debbie9964]

I have a few kits with about 36 colors in it. that's the reason I asked the question. I can mix the colors with no problem, I just wanted to be able to use the other tubes I bought for painting on a canvas. I;ve never tried it. before. I love painting ceramic ornaments and most anything else that you can imagine. But, you're reply brings up a great answer as well.I appreciate everyone's input regarding my question. I hope you have a blessed day, and good luck with your painting. Debbie : )

[@debbie9964]

I can do the mixture of the colors for the sky. I'm just wondering about the things like the tree trunks and such as that. A single color that's in my kits. I hate to waste all of the different colors. Especially the many different beautiful colors. It doesn't matter when I'm painting things like ceramics, mailboxes and such. I can mix the colors or just pick any color that I want. Thanks for your input, and have a blessed day. Debbie : )

[@suryalatha2551]

The painting is exlent thanku soooooo much

[@amandaontheroad478]

Just found ur channel. Ive been painting for years but I've never been able to take lessons. I've always had to experiment and find things out for myself (except when I watch old ep of Bob Ross, but he uses oil paints) anyways I've already learned a lot. Can't wait to see more.

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

So happy to hear it, Amanda! Painting can be a lot of fun when it's an intuitive process. However, I definitely agree, tutorials can really help ;)

[@sandrasandra6013]

Beautifull👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@marsalanqureshis3270]

Amazing

[@roshanijadhav3691]

beautiful

[@alicekung]

cool! Using the different colors in one time. but it's too different to learn.

[@seemarana8773]

This was very helpful Thanx

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Good to hear!

[@artemis6281]

Perfect perfect I love you

[@1homemademom]

[@PoorCatPortraits]

Great painting! Really want to try painting a waterfalls now.

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Thanks! I noticed you haven't uploaded in a while, I hope you're still enjoying the creative process!

[@PoorCatPortraits]

Yes, I do have a few things I've been slowly working on but I've been so distracted by the spring weather. I will upload again though!

우와...........

[@henlomarie6361]

it looks so good and i'm definitely going to try this out but I am kind of afraid i'll mess up the first step

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Don't worry about that. Acrylics dry quickly and without much texture. If you 'mess up' you can try again in just about ten minutes :)

[@doublehelix1185]

That happens to me also. I have anxiety attacks over it. Ryan is great isnt he? I am calm with his work. I have many over paints that are destroyed. But not with Ryan!!

[@user-yq4pt4gy3c]

That little missing clip had a plan and stuck to it. Lol jk Another amazing lesson. Thanks again. I keep walking away from the spring bridge painting, but you talked me back into it lol I have to at least finish it.

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Haha, all of the missing clips seem to. I hope to see said spring piece soon! If you find your stuck on a specific piece let me know any I'll try to help!

[@neetgusain3514]

Can i use poster colours instead

[@naikomusic]

I absolutely love these videos. Soo inspiring! Where do you get the ideas for these paintings?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Much appreciated! I gather ideas from photos I've taken, photos friends have taken, reference photos from Graphicstock.com, and my imagination. However, it's important that we don't rely entirely on our imagination as we tend to simplify things more than we should :)
