In this video, I talk about a concept utilised by writers and artists alike: "Kill your Darlings" - This is where sacrifices are made of things the creator is particularly attached to, to give way to the greater purpose of the work. Sometimes we can't see past the details we love, and it holds back the grand vision of the painting. As much as this sucked, I'm glad I reworked the composition. I hope you enjoy the video!

I’m a member of the Academy Tier and Tisch is such a great teacher. You can binge-watch all day every day and still have tons of valuable lessons to go. He is interesting and kind, helpful and very knowledgeable. This is the place to get your education.

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Thanks so much! Great to see you on the last livestream! Hey, if you're reading this comment folks, and you want to check it out, go here: tisch.academy

Thanks for sharing.Cant wait to watch the next video.

I agree with you,He is the best😍

[@DK-pl8xd]

When I'm having trouble falling asleep at night I listen to one of your podcasts. You and your guests' voices eventually lull me to sleep. Bonus is you have now appeared in three of my dreams. 😂 FYI, you’ve become my own personal guru, guiding me through my "creative endeavor" journey. Thanks for all the incredibly inspiring information and please keep on being the fabulous you that you are. ❤️

[@pablo_p_art]

That intro was amazing! New Zealand government should give you a grant for promoting the country to the world. You put a huge effort in composition and scenery. Seems like preparations takes more time than painting itself. Maybe I should pay more attention to that too? Thanks for great video.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

When you have five minutes could you explain what you mean by ‘weird’ when what I see is ‘awesome’ ? I am intrigued by what it is you see that offends you so much you have to start over when what I see is an amazing picture. Your source material is pretty damn good - the best country on the planet. Can’t wait for the next part of this. Thanks - Kate

[@neilcramond_fineartist]

Valuable lesson right there. Sometimes it is good to allow yourself to be led by the painting rather than forcing your will upon it. The artists struggle is real!!🎨💪 Having said that, there are plenty of times when you have to push on through with a painting because it is going through it's "ugly stage" before you get it to where you want it to be. Thanks fir sharing this Andrew, and look forward to the next installment.👍

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

I like the way you put that. Perhaps I am a little too forceful at times! This was a good reminder for me as well.

[@warpedweft9004]

You know it's funny because teaching (anything, not just art) is very much the same. If the lesson is just not clicking with the students or it starts to head in a different direction, you're left with two choices. Abandon the lesson plan and follow the path that has opened up or struggle on because you spent so much time planning that lesson that it's going to be delivered come hell or high water. Often the best outcome is achieved by following the direction the lesson is taking, because the audience remains engaged, rather than switching off and learning nothing. Art is the same. If I'm not liking what I'm painting, and push on regardless, I know I don't give it my best and I'm just finishing it for the sake of finishing it. The chances of ending up with something good are much reduced. Having said that though, I have several paintings that were in that situation and I ended up just slapping paint on in frustration without too much thought and they ended up being some of the best I've done. I thought I was just finishing for the sake of finishing but looking back, it was actually the painting leading me.

[@DesireKatana]

Tisch as I call you, wow! The way you speak always gets me understanding each stage of every tutorial. You're probably the best artist in all areas I like, I teach and you do that effortlessly. I draw, and you do that with ease, the paintings I don't want to even get started with those. Keep educating us because you have all the required assets for a great artist.

[@plywoodcarjohnson5412]

Good stuff! Especially the reminder that a painting can take months and even years. Great upload thx!!

[@janet4900]

The orange shadows are so beautiful in the water in the boating video. This reminds me of what Stephen King had written about the editing process. His books were always too long to be cost effective, so he eventually switches publishers.

[@XanBos]

Having to change an element in a painting is hard. If I've painted a long time on something, I pretty much feel it is where it needs to be.... But, I have done changes, and even on a painting that has sat for years, I'm thinking of putting into my digital art program to see if I need to do some changes. I think we do tend to be ok with what we design, feeling that all the effort on making the first rendering is just as it should be, not giving into the fact that we can do better, and challenge ourselves to do so. I can't wait to see how this developes!

[@lynnbarker1019]

I love this journey that you are allowing us to follow along with you. I have to admit I would love to see you continue on with the birds.

[@dianawilliams1476]

Andrew, you never fail to give me material for my opening conversation with my students. They all love you and when I tell them you began again with a new or renewed idea for an entire landscape, it will help them have the confidence they need to change a small area of their portrait when they feel something isn’t quite right! You are amazing and generous with your knowledge and encouragement! Hugs to you and your family. Shalom, Diana

Tosh you are my greatest inspiration. Although I will never have your technical ability.I have improved so much from your tutorials. I,m in an art group of mainly older would be artists. I,m now the star pupil and am teaching them things I’ve learned from you. There faces when you get them they never thought possible is irreplaceable. And gives me a massive buzz. I actually got paid recently for a hours teaching. The most I’ve ever been hourly paid . It was to teach a friends granddaughter. She was blown away how much she learned . I’ve been booked again as a Christmas present for her.

[@valentineokoye2073]

You really are a master of form and detail -- the clouds and water, in particular, are amazing. I almost wish you would ditch the photos, projections, and computers, and just paint that fabulous NZ light directly. What you'd lose in detail you'd get back in color. But I respect the fact that these technological aids are integral to your creative process.

[@nickclarkart]

This gave me a fun Idea I want to try. What if you projected a blank photoshop canvas onto a painting that needs fixing, and then live painted in PS on top of your painting? would it be clear enough to let you experiment? I'm gonna try it one of these days.

I really like the painting before. I loved the harsh edges, it had a very dramatic and eyecatching look aswell as the textured brush strokes. Really appreciate seeing your process its very inspiring to see just how much work and preparation is done before even adding paint to a canvas. Often times I feel guilty for spending 5 or 6 days on a single painting thinking that im working too slow.

[@o_de_art]

You make amazing painting videos! Do you shoot yourself in the studio, or with a help pf a fellow artist/videographer? I find video set up extremely distracting while working on a painting myself.

[@bondsons]

Hi Andrew, may I ask what kind of projector you use? Could really use some advice before I purchase one, thank you!

[@MaiasauraMia]

People who hate tracing don't know much about art history. Projectors and glass panes have been used for that for a long time. There's even furniture with glass and lights specifically built to help you trace. Most masters would make a small mockup of what they wanted to paint on a large canvas and retrace it unto the large one using whatever method they had. When learning and doing live modeling, you do that without "cheats" but when doing professional work, you'd be an idiot to avoid the best methods you can use

[@rgarewal100]

Why not white wash over the old painting? It looked pretty thin and untextured. Is there any detriment to doing that?

Why not just print the digital painting and frame it? Perhaps add a couple of brush strokes like Kinkade?

With today's technology we can digitally add objects that we want to see .....I probably stick to paint what is real on that location. I just take photographs and paint what is really there. Stop fantazing what isn't there because future generations might use your work as reference . 100 years from now people on that time simply couldn't use your art because it's not real.
