[@ellahowell5726]

Best art teacher I’ve found on here. Thank God for you

[@themaxeymanful]

Been looking for EXACTLY this sort of video. Anyone who wants a good intro should watch this!

[@heathallen7864]

Thank you for actually explaining (teaching) things rather than just doing a "Look what I can do" video that only leaves one scratching their head and contemplating taking up crayon drawing rather than painting. I have "smashed" the "Like" button and have subscribed to your "channel/content/show" (whatever you call it). I look forward to watching every episode, past and future, and actually learning something useful.......and to some day not "suck" at painting! Thanks Again!

[@PaintingWithMagic]

Welcome to the channel! Happy to have you here!

[@miket2961]

Thank you! I am not artistically inclined but I do want to try wet-on-wet. I’ve searched for very basic beginner instruction and found nothing until I happened upon your channel. You give me the confidence that even I can do it. I don’t have any supplies yet as I’m a bit short, but thanks to you I will give it a try. Maybe even make a little money from it. Thanks again, you new “friend”, Mike.

[@mohanjayabal5241]

Excellent Lesson for beginner's like me. Lots of love from India..

[@tseoiling]

I just retired and wanted to start painting. I spent a few months watching video but finally came across to your tutorial for beginner. Thank you for showing us, beginner, how to start with all kinds of material and the first painting. Your inspiration will fill in my curiosity to really start painting. I appreciate a lot.

Best Vid so far for bringing out my inner Bob Ross…TYVM Brandon…u r a teacher that best describes the brush & knife techniques…bravo

[@LukeMcMurray]

Mate, thank you so much. I've been watching lots of Bob Ross and Bill Alexander but no one has had the time to explain in as much detail as yourself. This video has been immensely helpful, thank you.

[@ardellnelson1407]

I like the way you explain the steps. Ordered your brushes. Tomorrow going to give it a shot.

[@StuDogg81]

Love your paintings, I finally got a starter kit and painted my first 2 paintings! I had a lot of fun and can’t wait to paint more! You sure do make it look easy! Great work!!!

[@sarahkennedy7520]

Thank you so much, love your step by step lessons. Love your work, I’m ready to order some supplies and start painting. Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us newbies.

[@shabo857]

Brandon, you taught me how to paint wet on wet. Thank you so much for all your videos and for lessons like this!

[@trinitynoble772]

Oh my goodness I'm still watching this video, I love you so much you are teaching me absolutely everything I wanted to know! Your amazing!!

[@karenneighbors7659]

Just painted this for the first time. Just started painting 2 days ago. I’m so proud of how it turned out. Not perfect of course but I’m proud. Waiting to be approved on the Facebook page so I can show it off.

[@c3ramics]

That's what it's all about, I'm just starting with oils after watercolors, still nervous lol.

[@MrKrenath]

Super job, Brandon! Probably one of the best explanations of the X stroke I’ve ever seen. Fantastic work! Keep it up!

[@RBLeynes]

I was struggling with wet-on-wet technique until I found this video. I can't believe I was able to paint this beautiful piece in one night! Thank you so much.

[@sukihitz291]

Well done, Brandon! Good information for all levels. I enjoy returning to simple beginning lessons. There is always some new tidbit of information to be found! Thank you!😊😊🎨🎨

[@PaintingWithMagic]

Happy you enjoyed the video :)

[@tlims1974a]

What an awesome, informative lesson! I’m about to paint my first oil and I have learned so much in this one hour! Thanks feller! ♥️ 🎨

[@DeeTee79]

This guy paints with the same enthusiasm as Bill Alexander. I love it!

[@PaintingWithMagic]

Thank you!

[@NicCageCDXX]

The whole video was great, but the last minute with the cattails and birds was so simple yet absolutely amazing. Definitely going to be using those moving forward!

[@templemerlyn3037]

Fantastic lesson! I appreciate your teaching skills along with your amazing artistic talent! Thank you!

[@Zackbe1man25]

I want to say thank you! I went out and got all the stuff I needed to paint and nothing was working right.... Thanks to this Awesome video I know I had the wrong canvas , and wayyy to much paint. Now I will raid all your videos and learn more!! Thanks again!!

[@amycagle2293]

I love your videos! Your enthusiasm is such an inspiration to beginning artists! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

[@cameronwalts7168]

Holy hell man you are an awesome teacher, seriously thank you so much for this video!

[@arualsetnom2605]

It's always a pleasure to learn from you. Thanks so much for this video, you are a great teacher and a good person.

[@PaintingWithMagic]

Thank you so much! Happy the video helped you learn more about our wonderful technique!

[@eefvan5205]

Brilliant Brandon. So good feeling brushes. Shadow depth. Funny....man. Love from Holland.

[@amitg7034]

Thanks a ton for sharing.This thing is like gold. I'm gonna try it out.

[@jfryrn]

This is the best instructional video for a newbie to oil painting. Thank You for sharing and creating this video.

[@knigi1]

This lesson is amazing, thank you so much for sharing your talent!

[@sandragowling1175]

Brilliant !!! Just followed this session and produced a picture I’m happy with !! Thank you so much !!

[@raybone3]

Thank you for the great video Brandon! I have been studying the Bob Ross technique, and my first painting turned out OK, my second painting turned out much better (I am proud of my second painting), however, my third and fourth paintings flopped. I realized that there was something I was missing. Bob Ross does an excellent job and produces some amazing paintings, but with the time constraints of the TV show, he doesn't really explain the technique fully. Even in the three hour workshop, there were some things missing. (No disrespect to Bob, he was one of my inspirations on many aspects, not just painting.) You have just filled in many of those gaps for me. Thank You!!!

[@marshall8802]

TY Sooo much. I watched the BR videos and though they were great, when I tried I got frustrated because everything came out a mess. I learn better when I know WHY I need to do things a certain way, and you explained that great. I'm going to try and take up painting again.

[@mary-annwiggs8606]

Thanks for the wet on wet tutorial! Very informative. I followed and learned as I went along for the ride. One happy painter. It wasn’t bad for my 3rd time with oil.

[@drachster4328]

I am a little late to the party but I just did my first painting and it wasn't too terribly bad, but there were gaps in what I needed to do, questions I didn't have answers to. Thank you for this video, many of those answers have been filled. You have a great teaching technique as well as painting!

[@johnbreslin01]

Hi Brandon, thanks for the video. I've watched literally 100's of Bob Ross videos. I done 2 paintings 2yrs ago on 'canvas board' I know it's not ideal but they came out pretty well. I've now got the bug again and I got some proper 100% cotton double primed canvas's. I'm not happy with it at all as I just couldn't do the mountain, I've realised I put too much liquid white on and was using too much paint to do the sky & water. Also my fan brush & 1in brush were just smudging. Looking at your technique and how to apply the least amount of paint & properly applying the liquid white has given me more confidence to go for it again. So thanks Brandon. I've subscribed and definitely will be checking more of your tutorials. Fingers crossed i'll nail my next painting lol

[@MisterButterfly]

Great tutorial - I learned a lot! Thank you!

[@thechamp2585]

This was very helpful. Thank you Brandon.

[@trinitynoble772]

You just got a new subscriber, I have looked and looked for someone to teach me how to oil paints so I just tried to teach my self with KZbin videos and what not. I got a student grade set from wall Mart and done a bob Ross picture in my own way tho. And for the past 3 days I've wondered why it was so chalky. I really love this video you have taught me everything. Today's my brithday and I asked for a mediums set even tho I had no idea how to use it, was gonna watch KZbin vids tell I thought I could do it. And I asked for gesso cause I thought that's what you used to do wet on wet. Lmbo..thank you so so so so so much!!!

[@donstrong7878]

Beautiful painting Brandon and a lot of good info

[@krista47597]

That is such an incredibly cool dude.

[@toddhostager3149]

Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom and talents with us. Love Bob Ross and Bill Alexander, but this video is so helpful in disclosing the requisite materials and supplies for making magic.

[@belovedsoul98]

This video was so helpful! Thank you

[@ayeshashahid4153]

Very informative. I was having same questions in my mind which you answered. Thank you very much

[@hrdecisions]

Really enjoy all your very informative videos and appreciate you sharing your experience & skills. Since I just starting out in wet-on-wet painting - I like that you have provided lots of tips for making it work. Your enthusiasm and mannerism are the best!. Good luck to you and your enterprise!

[@frishtelatif1149]

Wow, a very detailed and useful video, thank you alot.

[@MsPepermintpatty]

Thank you for taking your time to explain. I learned that I use way too much paint on my brush.

[@cathyhunnnicutt2349]

Thanks so very much for you teaching. I learned a lot from this. Great Teacher!!!!!!

[@Ceegar111]

Thank you Brandon....really enjoyed this vid.......

[@lynnoe6147]

Thank you for being thorough!!!

[@AzraelEnterprise]

I would actually like to see you paint the Crucifixion painting that was on the left of the video, right on the wall. Maybe for Easter 2025.

[@bbjo787]

I LOVE this guy, plus his accent!

[@lauracurran6192]

You have helped me more than anyone.

[@wiyinli6371]

I'm so glad to find your video which I have learnt a lot from you. Thank you so much

[@jnelson16701]

Outstanding job on the video!

[@PaintingWithMagic]

Thank you!

[@Mr.C.RidesAgain]

Brandon: Loved your video! It was very detailed and great on technical advice. My 9-year-old son and I decided to try out wet-on-wet oil painting as an activity we can do together. We started by watching Bob Ross and bought a bunch of brushes, paints, Gesso, spent a week trying to figure out what "magic white" was. Most of what we bought was the wrong stuff because Bob Ross does not talk about product specifications. I found your video on KZbin and am so glad because you are clear about what you really need to take up painting as a hobby. Bob Ross and Bill Alexander make it look easy during their video's painting "Happy Little Trees", and they make it sound so elementary, but they provide ZERO technical details! I guess they want you to take their art courses. Most people don't have money to spend on art lessons, and I appreciate you sharing your talent with others as it adds a lot of joy into people's lives. Thank you, Brandon!

[@sheiladaly1507]

Very thorough explanations of everything - which is great for beginners. :) Love landscapes, so relaxing to watch it come to life.

[@Macdaddy1981]

[@dirtfishingnewfoundland4353]

Thanks for this I'm ready to try this out

[@Ironfrog-dm3yf]

Amazing video thanks a lot! Going to rewatch the painting and attempt it when I get my first oil set which I’ve ordered! Did you answer my questions? I didn’t even have any questions (that’s how new I am) but your clear straight to the point video taught me a lot!

[@arthurhadley5699]

Job well done thanks for what you do.

[@aandjeo]

THANK YOU 😊 Greetings from AUSTRIA ❤️

[@michaelcody3829]

Thanks mate, really enjoyed your video.

[@PaintingWithMagic]

You're very welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@Mramorie]

Great lessons! Learned a lot from them! I used to watch Bill and Bob but as we know they used to have limited amout of time to explain things but your tutorial is very full and sufficent. Also the quality of their old recordings distorted the colors of the paint and confused me a lot:( You started to walk the road they did, but improved it so much. Thank you for your lessons, keep up, we love you! Greetings from Russia!💛

[@PaintingWithMagic]

Thank you very much! ❤️

[@maxwellmem]

Wow, very good video! It was very informative and really got me going in the right direction. Thank you!

[@pascalh.1986]

My brain: "looks so easy" My hands: "..........." The canvas: "please kill me" 🤣

[@chrismalone617]

😂

[@Mikyll1969]

This is so me... I WANT to, I can IMAGINE being able to... my hands and brain can't seem to connect and make it work

[@lonewolf9390]

I feel ya Bro. Everytime I try and paint, that is SO what happens.

[@nicolasachilles524]

Instablaster.

[@jeanbaker7164]

I guarantee you you will fall asleep before it is over, but it is so so so so so so good.

[@carolinelaferla2802]

Yes I did ty for teaching

[@Arnickification]

WOW!!! I’ve been following Bob Ross (Who is still wonderful) but to have your techniques explained so well, to include paints, brushes and pallets is so stress relieving! i’ve ordered brushes and i want one of your pallets. Thank you for the length of your videos, it’s so helpful to hear tips and the technical ways of your method! Forget the complainers, it’s not hard to skip commercials, people need to stop being lazy, the instruction is priceless!!! I’m a big fan now!!

[@md.sowmik7944]

Amazing!

[@jeannineheiselman5193]

[@angelodonofrio1072]

Tx for the great info!

[@stenor]

Hello from UK, enjoyed the video thank you..

[@21Darkdeath]

As a fellow artist I will have to say few things for the beginners that are important. If you want to learn how to make art you must learn to experiment, a technique may work for one may not work for another, not all supplies are universally liked, you may like one thing that another doesn’t. It’s ok to get frustrated, take a break and come back later. Practice, practice a lot. References or pictures or a certain thing are a huge help so get lots of em.

[@sonsoftheedelweiss72]

Can you show us how to emulate the style of specific artists. Love your videos.

[@ellahowell5726]

You are amazing

[@Kathy-3]

Excellent ! You are so encouraging. Your smile is so nice. More of it please....if I may say so.

[@PaintingWithMagic]

Thank you 😊

[@jackhlms3116]

Thank u very inspiring.

[@StuDogg81]

Love your videos, I’m getting ready to start my own wet on wet adventure!! I’m really excited about it but I have a quick question can you use mineral spirits to clean my brushes?? Keep up the awesome pictures!

[@luapsb4l136]

I like this. I am a watercolorist and I was afraid of oil paint but always curious. Can you use the wet in wet technique in portrait painting with oil?

[@richardbelcher4007]

Great informative video. I can't wait to get started!!! But am I missing something? Do we have a list of colors used in your painting that you did in the last part of the video?

[@danielapaiu4570]

Bravissimo, grazie!

[@blackangel418]

Thank you so much I will give it a try

[@PaintingWithMagic]

you’re very welcome! Have fun 🤓

[@jaywilliams7424]

I enjoyed the video learned several things as I am thinking about trying painting. But one I do wish you had covered what happens to your painting if you don't varnish it.
