I love your videos you have Bob Ross'esque type of personality and (when) blending lightly = a few hairs(of the brush) and some air

[@MONGOOSE1ful]

You are the Bob Ross of Acrylic painting- I'm seriously impressed! you have just restored my faith in Acrylic painting, so I'll be watching your tutorial videos very carefully Mr. Feliks- you're a superior artist!

[@judyb7026]

Thanks! That is an awesome tutorial. Even with my shaky hands, I can follow along.

[@ColorByFeliks]

I’m glad it was helpful! Thank you!

[@rsilberman3]

I love how you show the colors you used and blend. ❤ Thank you ❤

[@Rachaelbot]

I followed this tutorial and it turned out great!! I sort of skipped all of the exact color mixings you did and just eyeballed it... But wow... I'm super happy with it! If anyone is thinking of trying it, just dive in and have fun with it

[@ColorByFeliks]

I’m glad you enjoyed this, thank you for your feedback!

[@lindamalberg3165]

that sky is something you would see in reel life and think "a photo will not do - only a painting could do that justice" - and you really have - love it

[@jackiejackson935]

A sail! Or a blanket. You truly captured the scene.

[@susanknicholls8689]

Much gratitude for your time and willingness to share with us. Absolutely stunning. I will watch it again and again until I am confident enough to give a go at it. Your talent and hard work is much appreciated. So glad you didn't take too many shortcuts and demonstrated most all of the painting. Was well worth two hours of my time more than once.

[@monikabirk3474]

Wonderful,! Would like to see your face - just once would be fine! I can't wait to try this but the boat/ship intimidates me! Thank you so much!,, monika

[@guichou01]

Beautiful tutorial video! Thanks for sharing with us this beautiful painting..

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you, Guiarte! 😊

[@bluewrenreilly129]

You are a real artist. To paint that boat you must really like them a lot, all those strings! The sky technique so inspiringly well done and beautiful. Thank you.

Процесс написания картины захватывает!!! Спасибо большое!!! Результат восхищает!!!

[@marjoriemurray4381]

I really like this painting. One reason is that it reminds me of my grandfather who came to America from Germany. His trade was making sails and items pertaining to sailing as well as awnings. Sailing was a big part of our family’s life. He passed in 1968 when his younger son was in Denmark with the other crew members celebrating winning their Gold Metal in the Olympics for sailing. This was a bitter-sweet year for the family. My grandfather was so proud of his son. We are glade he lived to see his son and the other young men be awarded the Gold Metal!

What a way to recover from surgery! Your fingers and hands are a remarkable extention of your eyes and brain. So incredibly talented. Thanks so much for this soothing experience! You are the best. I loved Bob Ross, but your media and perceptions beats that, hands down.

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you, Norman! 😊

I’ve just discovered ColorByFeliks and wish I’d discovered him earlier. Instructions and advise are easy to follow and doesn’t over complicate things but the results are beautiful.

Bravo pour ce magnifique tutoriel que j'ai pris plaisir à faire en suivant toutes les indications ! Merci Feliks

[@greglee1465]

I watch your videos with my children and try to recreate (poorly ) these beautiful paintings. It is bringing us closer together. Thank you so much.

[@edbishop9378]

This is an awesome video. As a self taught painter and long time wooden boat builder. i was very pleased to see this video . I love sail boats and have built them and sailed them all of my life . now as i want to learn to paint them . this video will help me do that . thanks for sharing it

[@thedevopslife3145]

Normally I don't really say anything here. Yet I want to thank you for this video. 2 hours of clear instructions. Really nice!

[@millymontalvo8338]

your scribbles turned in to a master peace, AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@susanknicholls8689]

I did it! I'm so excited. I just painted the sailing ship. My blending is not as good but it works. Thank you so much KFeliks. I've been trying to paint something in acrylics besides flowers and am a seafarer myself, so this fit the bill wonderfully. I want more.

[@aminakishk6571]

I blend by using long oval shaped strokes according to the size of area .... it blends very well with the oval blending even from two different lines of paint colors, still wet, of course...

[@LiterallyCant87]

Beautiful! And as side note I really appreciate that you don’t feel the need to talk through every second of the journey. Perfect balance of instruction and just immersing yourself in your process! Much ❤

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊🎨

[@rissryker3125]

I just started painting and clouds have been my nemesis. But since this tutorial, I've made the mop brush my best friend. Thank you ever so much! You have taught me so much and I look forward to every video!

[@TheSongbird62]

Mine too. And every video says, “they’re so easy, you can’t mess up”. Well I’m living proof that you can, lol

[@marthanaff3873]

You are the best teacher. I like that you go slow and show all the colors that we need and you talking explaining is just right. Thanks again. A new painter Martha

[@jehanaraali3812]

Omg! I have no words to describe the beauty of artist’s painting. It is marvelous .It took about 3 or 4 hours but it was worth looking him paint. ❤️👍

You help me paint my first ever oil painting, and I've got to say I'm very impressed! Thank you 💙

[@lenalemay9560]

Wow! That is a fantastic sky.

[@RMCPL]

Beautiful work. Can't expect an artist to know everything about sailboats anyway! Just for the record, you drew a square rigged sailboat and put middle east lateen sails on it. A few square sails would have made it just as beautiful, if not more so, also a few more jibs sails on the bowsprit. Just nitpicking, love your video, have watched it several times now. If I try to do this, I would also add an anchor on the bow. I was very impressed with how you made the sky come alive, with all the blending and colors! Genius!

[@p.quilty.9519]

loved your sailboat painting, watched every bit of it. thanks

[@sandyparker8029]

It is so cute that when you finally got to the sailboat, you called the sails blankets. I have problems with my speech so I love it when others struggle to remember a word.

[@CreatedBy_official]

That sky, WOW!

[@rodgow7035]

It's all just knowledge and skills to do this, wish I would've started when I was younger. I really enjoy all these different procedures

[@aminakishk6571]

I did start at age 18, took off to raise 5 kids..travel divorce... and was feeling sad, so therapist said to do a hobby...I was age 57 by then... now at age 71 I am making well needed money ..God Willing that keeps going !! Just do it, learn every day.. and you will master it !!!

You are very talented painter and a good teacher. It's a pleasure to watch your videos.

Once again, a challenging, beautiful painting to wrap the ability of the artist around. I lived for more than a year on the Amazon River in Brazil and reveled in the beauty of the sky with clouds like these. I am learning so much from your tutorials Feliks. Your technics coupled with your outstanding talent gives us an opportunity to increase our knowledge and skills in acrylic paintings. I can only hope my talent is anywhere as great as yours, allowing me to produce a painting like the one you lead us through. Thank you for sharing.

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you for your kind words, Don! I'm glad that you have learned something from my tutorials. Hope you enjoy the journey! 🥰

[@shamroseahmed8255]

Love your videos! And especially, how you also show us, how you actually mix your colours. To me, this is like the most critical and difficult step but you make it look so easy and understandable. Keep up the good work!

[@galebriggs5241]

Another gorgeous painting, but that sky is phenomenal. Thanks for sharing!

[@baileysbootstraps8170]

As soon as you started the sky, I thought, that's a mistake this is rubbish so "bared with you" THREE times before you finished the clouds, I was jumping up and down in my chair....that's a MISTAKE no way will you sort, then POW !!!!!!! The best after many many painting vids THIS is the way to paint a sky. Brilliant. I've just watched yo just do the sky NOW Bring on the boat !!!!!!! Thankyou for a great upload, particularly for those people learning. Gotta stop now, want to see that boat !

Hi Feliks thank you!!!!! I followed many KZbin art channel but found the most success when I practice using your video I think it really helps when you teach how to prepare the colour before painting ! And this also save me a lot of paints !! Thank you ❤

I'm glad to hear that! Keep going 😊

[@vozkotv2514]

Really... Great simply n beautifully. Very nice!!

[@19thewanderer]

Brilliant. Thank you. I cannot understand how anyone can give you a thumbs down, jealousy of your talent perhaps.

[@markwhitelotus]

How do you keep your acrylics from drying so long? You do beautiful wet on wet blending with the fluffy brush. But my acrylics dry almost as soon as they get down on canvas and I end upmhaving to dry brush the blending which isn’t nearly as smooth looking.

[@lizmalcom3214]

Mix your acrylics with a bit of water on a pallet before adding them to the canvas. Alternatively you can use a medium.

[@eiechin2692]

Same que

[@rekhabhat3492]

Yes they dry fast but realised with little water ,very little or u can spray little water when u paint & u hv to move very fast.Speed is imp

[@rekhabhat3492]

It will come through practice,keep at it

[@barbarawilliams7012]

A lot depends on temperature and humidity in your studio/ workspace. Also no two brands act the same, even different colours in the same brand. I find a very fine mist sprayed lightly over the palette extends drying time, but as has been said, keep going and you will learn by your own experience - enjoy, this is good stuff and such a relaxed delivery!

I watched your video and loved it. I must add that I think you're a very brave young man to sketch in the rather complicated boat with dark paint. I would not be so confident and would only dare attempt with a pencil while keeping an erase close by. Anyways you did a real job as usual! I am definitely going to try this on the weekend. Thank you soooo much. You are amazing , kind and patient.

Thank you for such a nice feedback, Helen! It would only take some practice and definitely you'll get there. 😊

I say we change the name to giant blanket boats. I laughed so hard thanks Felix your amazing. " What are these things called on sail boats? Giant white blankets." I absolutely love it. Oh and just in case you still are wondering they are called sails. The sail boat is indeed named after it's giant white blankets. Keep up the good work my man.
