🙏🏻🤍 hola! Gracias! Me encanta pintar 😊

[@samprojects4915]

Thank you I have learnt alot brother 🔥🔥👊👊

[@TheLamba444]

I do the same thing, forget to paint the edge until finished with the painting. I used to use a brush to do this but found it so much easier to use a small sponge roller brush.

[@user-er9ts6ut1z]

Dear Daniel, years ago I decided to learn to paint professionally, but became very ill. Ten years have passed and I have been fighting for life. Now I'm sitting here watching your videos and my heart is deeply moved. I will start painting again and let myself be infected by your joy. Now a new life begins and I'm looking forward to it. Your videos woke me up, thank you 🐯🎨🖌🩷

[@chrissy1310]

I am so happy your on the mend! I get bummed too when I don't have the painting fire! I am going straight on into my first bear. I have done the background yellow ochre, inspired by this video. I am already moving the head LOL I hope you feel great today!

[@vicandsam7576]

Blessings to you and your health. Michaels always has a sale.❤ I got the nudge going in there and seeing their canvases.

[@solisarmast7158]

So break a leg and keep going👍 I'm rooting for u☺️

[@lynnb-TruckCastreauJr]

My goodness! You are extremely talented. If I hadn't watched you paint that I'd almost swear it's a photo.

[@FluidArtsbyCole-zg1gu]

Thank You I have been in the arts all my life , but Fluid Arts is a New Direction. Thanks for your emcouragement.

[@angelwings8815]

Spectacular!!!!!!!!!! This is the BEST lion painting I have ever seen! Fantastic!!!!! I hope to one day be as great of an artist!

[@sarahallegra6239]

“I know it doesn’t look like much now…” *looks better than anything I’ve ever painted in my life* You’re a modest man, this is stunning at every step!

[@user-ji6uh2bz5x]

8 minutes in and the painting was a masterpiece already

[@pamelacassise9069]

Beautiful. You are the best wildlife painter I have ever seen. I have been obsessed with Big Cats and wildlife paintings for 60 years so I look at everybody. I thank God I found you.

[@charmawow]

This is a seriously lovely piece. I’ve been a full time artist for a number of decades now and for a few of those painted in Acrylic until I switched to oils. I’m having to return to acrylics for a few new artworks and getting used to them again has been a tad iffy at times……watching you paint has been a nice way of getting my acrylic mojo back again!

[@mailie6403]

Wow. An awesome painting. Absolutely brilliant.

[@RichardM1366]

That is a very realistic painting. It has photographic quality. Great job!

[@lashonearl6548]

This painting is so awesome!!!! Just BEAUTIFUL!!!❤

[@seanmckenzie1472]

Thanks for taking the time to show how you create!!❤

[@emmalawson7460]

I only just found your art but I will be binge watching them. I love creating art but yours is amazing keep going

[@jay-jay1574]

Daniel... THIS IS SPECTACULAR! ❤ I pray someone will see your BEAUTIFUL artwork and SPONSOR you! Glad I found you... You inspire me!

[@user-mo3rh3fj7y]

I am in awe at your skills, I’ve just completed my first tiger but nowhere near at your level but only been painting for a yr

[@lisa-gayle9939]

Incredible artist…Incredible Tutorial! The lion…just WOW ‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@davidcenteno7254]

“Wow” beautiful, amazing work. Appreciate your talent keep up the great work, I’ll be watching for more.

[@ThePottersClay_]

super beautiful painting. you have such a pure gift! I love how transparent you were with this whole process, the challenges and the determination to grow more and more is inspiring. Great job.

[@akrumm]

I have found your channel as I am myself beginning to paint. I am having a great time learning and your videos are so well structured and paced that I have watched several in one sitting. I can't wait to try some of your techniques on my next one.

[@davidlouis2354]

You are a fine example of perseverance and It's paying off.

[@thehumanatelier]

interesting approach how you start with your undertone, and I completely agree with adding another layer of gesso, excellent artwork! 🖼 🎨

[@divashaz1]

Oh my gosh you are an absolutely fantastic amazing incredible artist. I love love love this lion painting. Totally awesome . And you are so so thoughtful and patient with your brush.

[@TheEquineJournalist]

So, So talented!! I LOVE your work!! What a truly beautiful piece of art!! Thank you so much for sharing your great tutorial!

[@shodan9843]

That was insane! Wow...

[@user-gi1lw6vi3m]

Fabulous! It’s like a meditation, so time melts away. So unless you’re using how many hours it took to paint it to put a price on it, I wouldn’t worry about time. It’s time we’ll spent. Thank you for the tips and your wonderful personality on video! Great work!

[@CreatedByAyo]

Thank you so much, this was very insightful and I hope to see more acrylic videos in the future!

[@susansmith8602]

This is absolutely fabulous!

[@sylviesas2992]

Thank you soooooo much for this video. I so enjoyed watching the process which has helped me get some perspective on my own. It takes time, it is normal to struggle on an area, the quality of the image makes a big difference, it can be longer than expected to get to the level when we are ready to start. I love that you start with the eyes... yes I feel that way too... once I see the personality ... it helps. Very grateful for this video. Wishing you much success.

[@geoffc1862]

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing. I thought you'd finished by end of day 2 - it looked magnificent.

[@marcyclark5696]

I looked back at a lion you painted three years ago and, wow, there's such a difference. Not to say your earlier one wasn't good, but your skill has increased in leaps and bounds! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@lorrainetredgett9602]

Outstanding Work Daniel…Thank You for Sharing and Giving us your time…..more inspiration to guide us onwards ….

[@natasjaschaaf1520]

An amazing peace of art.

[@shells2u2]

You are so talented and you present your videos so well, easy to follow and all those little extra tips. Thank you

[@Vito-ro1mf]

Beautiful!!! Every minutes really paid off. The thing with art is willing putting time and effort in daily living. I struggle with that sometimes. Thank you for your beautiful painting. Such a pleasure to watch your painting! God bless your heart!!! 😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏

[@dahl20]

Your videos have been some of the most helpful I’ve found.

[@allisongraham7003]

Wow this is amazing, the level of detail is unbelievable 👏🏻

[@patjonker6576]

Very beautiful. So much talent

Bonjour, Je vous regarde de France et je trouve votre travail merveilleux, votre sens du détail et votre précision rendent ce lion plus vrai que nature. BRAVO

[@EpiphanyCreations]

So amazing man, I have no idea how you do what you do. I could only wish, hope and dream to be as good as you one day.

[@trinaconley5757]

So beautiful,I love it.

[@worldtraveleratheart]

Thank you, thank you so much for sharing the WHOLE process!! So helpful and inspiring! I learned so much from just this one video of yours. I've subscribed and I will definitely be working my way thru watching your other videos. Bravo!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@migdaliaisidron3943]

You really are a Master. Congratulations.

[@hheerrooiixx]

Fantastic work as always! Great information. Keep it up

[@anild5342]

100% Mastered! Many blessings to you. Very inspirational and uplifting channel.

[@marygraham2155]

You are an awesome artist. I like that your not arrogant and wanted to get better and better. Beginning here

[@agustinbono3867]

How wonderful job! Congratulations and greetings from Argentina

[@user-xy5ez5wd1v]

I agree with the commentary this is so much better than the originalI love how he plays on different temperature of the pigments

[@randersson677]

I really love this painting

[@yigit3713]

that's a pure talent %100

[@jenniferlawrence2183]

Looks good the way it is.

[@fahimjakaria2385]

I really really love the way you explain and talk. My words are also the same like you that I want to grow and grow. Recently, I have made a hyper realistic cat acrylic painting. Literally, I started with a different reference photo and started over with new one on the same canvas as I was frustrated with the outcome. I'm not a professional artist. I mainly learn to draw portraits, paintings from KZbin. And you are one of my teacher. I wish I could share my paintings with you so that I can learn more about my flaws and mistakes. ❤

[@LeandroPaulino-qe3dc]

Nice work, it was perfect !!👏👏👏

[@FaganMrs]

a lovely piece of work Daniel , i really like it

[@esmegelling6854]

Magnificent as always❤

[@luistavales2868]

Gorgeous!

[@LaughingInTiny]

Such a good point to making sellable art. It's all well and good to paint gorgeous pieces and if you're painting for pleasure OR have the time and/or safety net to allow for just painting how you prefer, fantastic. But as someone who has worked in a gallery and now promotes artists around the world, I can completely concur that without a plan you likely won't get far. Understanding your customer is just as important as any other business. Its kind of why artists tend to have a trickier time... left brain vs right brain type of thing. Excited to see your video on this!

[@dennisart6105]

Love your details.

[@RevHephziDuraikannuUSA]

Amazing work!

[@alton_art_foundation]

It is really amazing.

[@mickalixe]

Incroyable, c'est tellement magnifique, j'aimerais savoir en faire autant. Bravo

[@oldswede9307]

Gorgeous work

[@sarahdermody6665]

Wow, fantastic 😮❤

[@40bdg]

Beautiful!

[@shamashinde4971]

Great artist my child .God bless you.

[@brycec.1533]

Much wow! I bet full time laps for YT shorts would be a HIT, for when you do your next project!!

[@elainesmith7419]

Very inspirational 😊

[@samprojects4915]

The video has been a good resource to me soooo lovely 🔥😊

[@mangalathatte]

Brilliant…. Brilliant Daniel . ❤ Am always so happy to see your art work which you explain so so well. My colours go horribly wrong sometimes. If you could consistently mention the combination of colours as you paint your subject, I shall be grateful 🙏🏽. After having subscribed to your channel, I literally wait every other day, for all the information you intend to share with your viewers !

[@AlicjaJaros-fm2vy]

Wooooooow Amanzing realistic art and Colours ❤🌈👑👑👑

[@lotusflowerpassion]

Beautiful Work 💖

[@Edcabraltv]

Brother, this is my exact proccess lol. But you gotta try painting on birch wood canvas. I love how much smoother and stable it is after gesso and sanded. Plus it is like what the old masters painted on. 😊 You rock

[@user-xx2cu7ef7w]

Awesome Work Sir👏🏼👏🏼

[@catherinejwayman6721]

Beautiful! I am exactly the same as you with the details and I get comments all the time I need to loosen up and not do so many details! But I simply can’t help it I need to go those closeup details as well! This is beautiful! I feel I’ve gotten better as well with each piece

[@marliesdevrome1111]

Glad I'm not the only one! Same here! 😉

[@franciscafrechina820]

Excelente trabajo precioso ❤😊

[@rofete]

So great!

[@anapatriciapachecourena9792]

Súper bien logrado😊

[@kristinabenitez9400]

Nice lion painting 😱 really good 😄👌

[@alessandropalomba1066]

Semplicemente stupendo....sei riuscito a creare innumerevoli sfumature pur utilizzando colori acrilici che asciugano molto in fretta,a vederlo così sembra un dipinto fatto con colori ad olio......gran bel lavoro, complimenti continua così

[@ArtechDraws]

Thank you It Gives me A great Motivation ❤

[@user-ze3io1iq7g]

beautiful painting

[@viorelmarian3432]

Felicitări pentru creativitate arata extraordinar

Este hombre es un pedazo de artista 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@ClintonRoss-xx5tf]

This guy is brilliant!

[@trippyvortex]

If realism is the goal, you take the gold.

[@alimustafa7680]

5:00 wow it already looks professional. I can see how I’m not able to do this. I always do one little section at a time without any base colors

[@KellyJelly9976]

this is amazing

[@Christdiedforoursins1Corinthia]

I've only ever used school acrylic maybe I'll try acrylics.awesome work really very well done , beautiful picture, bit upset you used a projector,i see this done alot theses days .

[@familytechnology9291]

My eight-year-old is going to freak out when I show him this.
