i love your 10-minute paintings. so easy to follow and you kinda sound like Bob Ross sometimes. Bless his soul.

[@malfecto]

I can see my house from here!!!

[@multiarray2320]

because you are already in your house

[@user-yu4cl7sy6g]

You are the best teacher of important and understandable tips and I just feel so more relaxed and comfortable when you talk. You are a special person.... You JUST ARE❤❤❤

[@danielgedeon1445]

Even when you got stars on the dark side of the planet, it actually looked good when you covered it because it looked like lights in cities. Even when you're failing you're succeeding!

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Haha, thank you, Asriel!

[@Rudenbehr]

The best art is often in our mistakes

[@stephaniemalgas2616]

I really love your work, whenever I watch your videos I always get inspired all over again. My personal motivation 🙏 thank you and God bless you! 🙏

[@IllustrationWithEveii]

the light source on the planet is so so beautiful!

[@therealme5932]

New subscriber. LOVE your 10 minute paintings! You're an amazing teacher. My 10 year old daughter is very much into the arts and I'm lost as I was an athlete so videos like this make me hopeful and confident that we can both do something she enjoys and both enjoy it together. Please keep them coming!

[@Mark-oh7ec]

It already looks amazing at 2:30

[@geraldthefish9370]

i started off watching ur "paint a galaxy in 10 minutes" video and i fell asleep like halfway. woke up on this video and u were almost done and it tripped me tf out

[@NPrescott]

Thank you so much for making more space tutorials! I really love the galaxy and this one!! It looks amazing..Thank you :D

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

I'm very happy to hear it because I have a couple more planned for the near(ish) future :)

[@lw9780]

Ryan O'Rourke - Artist Do you think you could possibly paint an eclipse in the near future?

[@AsifRasheedArt]

Nathan Prescott I’ve made plenty of galaxy and night sky paintings as well if you care to watch.

[@sushenvarada7732]

On the dark side of the earth you could also add some city lights as they are visible from space.

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

That is a really neat idea!

[@meghasumit_ms2581]

This is simply beautiful and attractive. The boundary around the planet seems as if some brightness is coming from behind.. I loved it ❤❤❤

[@CherryMoch]

you're awesome and i love your step by step tutorials! they really help beginners like myself!

[@camelliamadhumitascreation5556]

How wonderful !!! I started loving your paintings and started creating too.....thank you so much for sharing.

[@patriciachristian1769]

Cool! I like that painting picture of an earth!😄👵🏼👍🏻

[@Artchick1972]

I am addicted to your 10 minute paintings

[@graceoffer8296]

Thanks for making these videos !! I always found it really hard to get inspired but now I only have to watch your videos for about 10 seconds and I want to paint all day !! Thanks again ♥️

[@9and7]

This series is outrageously good. Thank you for this.

[@user-he3dl1fw5k]

Wow... This is a very real planet. I'm just learning to draw. This lesson is very useful for me. Thank you so much...

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Thank you for the wonderful comment!

[@kujursameer86]

Thank you So much Sir. I tried to copy your 10 min painting. It took me a month to make it look 30% as beautiful.

[@A-halover2000]

When I gaze my own eyes upon your work it takes me back when God created the Heavens and the Earth

[@leslie5296]

Okay I’ll inspire by this for my room decor

[@pollyclarke341]

Eloquent in your instructions as usual. Happy New Year!

[@nervousnudibranch7372]

Just wanted to thank you! I googled 'painting beginner tutorials Earth' tonight and ended up on this video. Watched it, then 7 more. I was never able to take an art class (.. crappy, underfunded public education system haha) & didn't think I'd be able to keep up with painting anything like these miniature masterpieces of yours- but I was wrong and your channel is great! I absolutely love the tips & specifics about technique you drop along the way. You've inspired me to write a KZbin comment (lol, and to paint)! :3

[@DeepikaPoloju]

I always wanted to paint earth and this helped me alot

[@BabyJinx88]

Loved this video ^.^ I bought your book yesterday and had it printed out at staples so it looks like an actual book. I'm going to spend the day reading it and then tomorrow I'll attempt a painting ^.^ thank you so much for all that you do.

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Enjoy! :)

[@animalartist68artworld3]

I like space and I love art! And I just started to learn space art! Iam working on a drawing of the planet Venus and iam planning to draw Earth next! 😃 thanks for the tips 😃

[@rosamonllau9394]

Great teacher. Your explanations while painting ate excellent. Thanks for sharing

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the lesson!

[@poop-kh7ir]

Flat Earthers will say it's fake

[@MariyaLoveyah]

Ha ha... You should share it with them. lol

[@joedimaggio2733]

it is

[@joedimaggio2733]

flat

[@MariyaLoveyah]

joe dimaggio , are you sucked in the FE society? Lol

[@amsedzaferovic1679]

I find that whole "the earth is flat. The earth is round" debate really boring. The earth is the earth, i don't care if he/she is flat or round. The earth is our home and that is what matters in the end, i just wish we humans could work all together to protect her/him. But to be honest for me the earth is round since that is more interesting than a flat earth. Yet again, it is alright if some of you consider the earth flat. Like i said the earth is our home and that is what matters.

[@marileeflint7605]

Thank you your video was awesome and easy to follow

[@singhd7]

Happy New Year and I love your beautiful painting

[@rajasekaran4486]

[@creedishere420]

Why would you show a half edited photo as your painting at the end??

[@alexwansss]

Wow it's so amazing!!! I was just thinking of what to paint my best friend as her housewarming gift, guess I could give this a go, you made it look sooooo effortless and the outcome is breathtaking Thanks a lot for the video!

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Thanks for the kind comment Alex! Best of luck!

[@sherise_2020]

Absolutely beautiful 🌎thank You

[@eddiebear34]

Just got yourself another subscriber. Loving these space art paintings. I've always been a pencil artist. But this has convinced me to jump over to paint for a try

[@duarteshelia]

As always you were awesome. I loved how you make this look so easy.

[@artasticapaintings1321]

[@andrewchappell6738]

you are so gifted

[@munirasultana2313]

Very useful video👌

[@dividedreality9708]

Irregularity is the beauty of nature.

[@realisticallyrose2310]

Incredible!

[@ALB190779]

Sua técnica me deixou de cara, profundamente influenciado. Obrigado!!!

[@crabbyappleton4384]

Wowza!

[@Gorgeousnessofearth]

this was 6 years ago, you have grown so much with art. Can you recreate this ? That would be awesome to see.

[@PascalArmanceArt]

Thanks for sharing. It's very interesting

[@SineenartTunu]

Thanks 👍

[@marcosdeoliveira9278]

Perfect....!!!

[@fadisamman5546]

Thank you

[@marynavarro4936]

I knew you can do it under the 10 minutes!

[@abaanahmedmohamed]

This is amazing

[@Rosenadone]

amazing! love it!

[@basildog007]

Fascinating

[@malfecto]

Ever thought of doing a series of acrylic paintings of each planet in the solar system? I'm working on different variations of each planet in the Star Wars universe, but in watercolor as opposed to acrylic. Easiest so far? Tatooine. Most difficult, resulting in four restarts? Coruscant.

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

That's a fantastic idea! I'm always looking for additional space themed ideas as they do seem to be a crowd favorite. Hope your series is continuing well!

[@rondasalisbury9978]

Wow amazing!

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Thanks!

[@arohangaming7460]

VERY NICE DRAWING

[@melanieyates5332]

You are so amazing!!!

[@keithsampson6590]

great work man

[@Baffoono]

Can anyone else see a half evil face in that painting?

[@judylehman9729]

thanks again.

[@lizrenwick1180]

Beautiful😊

[@josephchapman9575]

Beautiful,

[@buddyboygaming6103]

Wow

[@PucckAlbion]

[@cerendikmenli8318]

[@ellygreaves9793]

FEELING VERY INSPIRED....... OFF TO BASE COAT A CANVAS READY FOR TOMORROW HEHEHE :))

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Have fun!!

[@thepotlady]

Thank you for sharing your art. You inspire me!

[@msbrau-ff2cq]

Молодец нормально нарисовал и сейчас с блёстками

[@celestebutler2957]

thanks mate.

[@AdrianGonzalez-ub5tr]

My clouds weren’t so good but everything else came out great 😊 Thanks

[@juanramongonzalezquezada7121]

La imagen del final, se nota que la retocaste en digital

[@ocampo6794]

si de hecho se ve mucho mas la foto real de la tierra que el canvas, que apenas se nota. La pintura no le quedo ni la mitad de bien que la foto final que puso. Trampa total.

[@shahzadiayesha3287]

awesome work

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Thank you!

[@Meatballblues]

This is amazing!! Do you draw (the pencil markings) from ur head or do u refer to online images?

[@samanthamoran6194]

This would take me three hours 😂

[@TeamDayaShankar]

Pfft, I screwed up completely and still took like 4 hours.

[@relaxlove.3678]

Days.

[@TheRealPro-kv9rr]

But I had some little details missing from the painting.

[@reshmapawar5433]

I like it

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Thanks!

[@engel8324]

❤

[@yellow00091]

I have hearing problem. Could you tell me what did you use in the beginning a water like substance around the earth circle. You are amazing.loved your work.

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

At the beginning of the painting I am using a damp brush to loosely outline the earth, this gives me practice in plotting the actual paint and will allow me to spread my paint a little bit farther.

[@sissybeans7074]

How much is your Patreon site? I have maybe enough to watch for one month! Thank you! SissyBeans

[@donnabush7938]

Hi! I just discovered your videos and love them! I do have a question regarding the earth: did you draw the continents in ahead of time, and if so, what did you use to do it? Thanks!

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

I used a white coloured pencil to sketch in the continents before beginning

[@kahea2018]

Great

[@darwishazam9959]

Good

[@_Astro.Nish_]

Hi loved your paintings... could you please make a painting of Total Solar Eclipse??

[@Lisa_88888]

Love your videos! Thanks for sharing. Do you ever paint abstracts?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

I do not. While I really appreciate and respect abstract work it's not something I'm particularly great at.

[@Lisa_88888]

I understand. Well you inspired me to try painting for the first time ever today. I followed your advice about painting trees and my tree actually came out pretty good for a first attempt. Thanks for the inspiration! My next try will be of a night sky. 😊

[@PainterLady]

I just discovered you! Love the painting. For those who cannnot draw ANYTHING.... how could I do this and get the shape decently accurate?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

Well, I would recommend practicing drawing. It really is the foundation of painting. However, you could always trace something round. In regards to the continents/clouds, they are fairly abstract looking shapes so I wouldn't worry about getting them 'perfect.' Just practice and have fun :)

[@celestebutler2957]

Can I ask what type of "pencil" do you use to sketch out your mountains and, in this case, your planet? Thanks!..PS, I think you're an awesome artist and great teacher!

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

I actually really like using crayola pencil crayons. I know that sounds wildly unprofessional but they don't dilute the paint like pencil/charcoal does and they don't require a sealer. It's simply the most efficient medium I've found to accomplish those early sketches

[@valaethartist]

I was just wondering: do you practice the painting beforehand and then repaint it for the video, or do you just start on a whim and hope it's 10 minutes long? Lovely painting, too. Your paintings always end up beautiful!

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

I generally 'paint it in my head' first. This just means I figure out what colors I want to use, how I'm going to layer them, and what brushes I will need for each part. I also set up a timer beside my brushes so that I know when I need to hurry to reach the 10 minute mark... Which is why the start of these are generally fairly relaxed then I'm all over the place for the last two minutes lol

[@lw9780]

Ryan O'Rourke - Artist Wow I showed my mom some of your paintings and she said you practiced it before you video taped it. I can't wait to tell my mom that you don't practice beforehand.

[@rex-paulawuja9315]

Besser als von der NASA xd

[@aedanwancheeyu2924]

Good

[@karaleemurphy2618]

This took me an hour to paint

[@hermansung]

Okay I gave this a go. I foolishly thought he was using black paint at first when applying the background light. He is actually using just water before the blue. Is that correct?

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

It is. I used the water to kind of figure out exactly where I wanted the blue. It also allowed the blue to move more softly.

[@elizaj2085]

I see you water your acrylics down a lot? How much is too much before the acrylic loses it's binding properties? Cant wait to have a go at these...

[@RyanORourkeArtist]

As long as you are using a quality brand of paint (Liquitex Basics Acrylic paint, is my personal go-to), you shouldn't have an issue with the paint over time. I hope this helps :)

[@laxman9479]
