I'm a 68 year old living in the UK and who has never touched a paint brush but your wonderful lesson has spurred me on to try something new in this never-ending Lockdown. God bless you!!

I'm a 59 year old woman who loves to do several types of crafts including crocheting..U never could draw and I never painted because I didn't believe I could..Recently I have started painting on canvases and because I don't care to impress anyone and it's just for fun, I'm realizing that I love it so now I've started watching videos for beginners.Im so happy that I left my comfort zone and dared to try something I use to avoid because I thought I couldn't..now it's fun and relaxing.

Same here, everyone! 64. Never painted, can’t draw, enjoying the learning process. Hopefully I make some progress 😊

Thank you for giving me inspiration, to take up painting in acrylics. I am a complete beginner from the UK and I am 73 years old. I am sure by following your instructions, I can soon learn the art of turning a blank canvas into something to admire. I think I have found a new hobby to pass away the time and enjoy. I have watched several videos on this subject, but found yours to be the easiest to follow. One again thank you. You have just gained another subscriber. Geoff.

Thank you for your generosity in sharing your talent in this wonderful world of painting. I am an 80 year old beginner from the Philipippines and I find your instructions very clear and easy to follower. May God reward you more lavishly and bless you all the way.

I’m 72 and lovin it❤❤❤❤

I’m from Oregon in the USA. I’m 70 years old and about to start my first painting class next month. Came across your Chanel and am learning so much. Please keep teaching us! Your class is amazing!

A beautiful demonstration for BEGINNERS that isn't too advanced, easily explained and won't frighten a complete beginner off by being too advanced. Many thanks.

Hi I’m from Ontario, Canada. Been “teaching” myself to paint with acrylics for about a year now. I’ve watched so many videos that my head hurts!! lol. This is, by far, the BEST beginners tutorial I have watched yet! You explained things and demonstrated things in a way that I completely understood, especially the use of colours (warm, cold etc). Your technique is Amazing! I cannot wait to try this painting. 5 years ago, a psychic told me that I should paint, she ‘saw’ me painting. I laughed at her and joked about it because I was redecorating my entire house at the time, and painting every room. She assured me not that kind of painting. I am into photography but never painting, so I blew it off as fake news! lol. I totally forgot about that psychic until a few weeks ago... and here I am... learning to paint. Coincidental or what!! 😉😀 Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills. You are awesome!

I’ve just begun painting. Thank you for making this video so easy to understand and for taking it slow. I want to live in that house

Ty so much for talking about the cooler colors in the distance. I never understood why you paint from cool to warm colors. Light bulb moment!

Thank you for inspiring me to start my husband bought me a beginners paint set for Christmas and ive decided its time to try it out im 61 yr old woman from U.K

I've been painting for years but never had anyone share the steps to such a beautiful finished painting. I never understood how to paint depth in my paintings using color. Thanks so much for sharing your skill and talent.

Very nicely done Rob. I've been painting for 28 years now and I am constantly over the years watching videos because we never stop learning. Thank you

I enjoyed watching the video. I will come back and re-watch it and actually paint along. I'm in Texas.

Thanks so much. I am an Englishman presently in Auckland on holiday. Flightless like the Kiwi bird we are all in lockdown- sort of- and through your great beginner's movie am now motivated to take up acrylic painting. Move over Raphael!

Excellent instruction! I am a watercolor artist but wanted to learn acrylics. Your video is one of the rare ones which explains in real time!! Thanks a lot!!!

I'm a 73yr old kiwi and a real beginner.I think I could manage to paint this little scene. Thankyou and give us more!

Thank you so much. Your information re warmth, cool and perspective is very useful. Just started painting again after 20/30yrs. Thanks from Donegal, Ireland

Im from Wisconsin USA. Just decided to try painting....very excited...loved this easy to underfatnd video

i'm a 51 year old New Zealander who took up painting in April after my daughter left home to go to uni. i've been trying to learn since then and this video has taught me so much. thank you i really appreciate it

Hi there, from Johannesburg, South Africa. I can't draw a tree, but being in our 2nd month of lockdown I started to watch painting tutorials. I'm definitely going to give your landscape a try. I'm just finishing a sea scape (1st painting ever)! You are an amazing teacher and I'm definitely going to check out your other tutorials. Thank you so much for taking the time to put something together for people like me who would love to paint but have no idea where to start! Zelna

Thank you for the lesson. Very helpful. Nampa, Idaho

I love the way you teach very easy to follow along with you thank you for sharing this lesson I'm watching from California .

Thank you. I’m 76 years old, currently on lockdown in the U.K. I’ve just found some acrylic paints and thought I would have a go. I’ve never tried painting before so this is a first, and the first lesson I have ever had. I will let you know if my painting is a success..

Thank you for your tutorial, I am a fairly new beginner, painted in high school so had some of the basics but refreshing is nice. Now, 62, and retired i have lots of time on my hands and want to pick up painting again. For me it is very relaxing.

Hi! My name is Pat and I am in the US. I’m 69 and I just found this video and was thrilled with it. You are a wonderful instructor. You break everything down so it is simple and can be easily understood. I’ve only been painting for 2 1/2 years without any formal training so it’s been trial and error with results being more error. Thank you so much. I wii definitely try to fine the free painting video. I know it would be really great. Thank you again!

Thank you for your easy approach to acrylic painting. I am a complete beginner from Brazil but a proud UK citizen as well. I've lived in Kent for the last 40 years but have recently moved to Devon. I am 74 years old and I am in isolation (with my husband) and I hope that by following your instructions I may turn my dream of having a paint of the entrance of my cottage into reality! I will definitely be watching more of your nice and instructive videos.

Tucson, Arizona Great tutorial-excellent info on using color for depth & harmony

Northern Ireland love your way of teaching very encouraging for a beginner.

I'm from Cape Town, South Africa. I watched your video this morning. I felt so motivated I went to the shops, bought a small canvas and four tubes of paint. I got home and rummaged around in a drawer for a brush similiar to the one you used. Don't know what it was used for originally, but now it was my first paintbrush. I sat at my table and did the painting with your tutorial running on my phone. I am amazed at what I was able to produce with your help. Thanks, I'm hooked😃

Hello from the tiny province of Prince Edward Island, Canada. I'm just learning to paint with acrylics. I've been painting with watercolours for a few years and just want to try my hand with a different medium. Thanks for this video, it's great for rank beginners like me.

United States, you’re an incredible teacher thank you for posting these videos, I can tell these are really going to help me make progress with my paints. Not enough acrylic teachers online!

6:42 est October 16,2023 My mother has painted for years, she is now 86 years young, her talent was God given. Now on the other hand I wasn’t so lucky. She keeps telling me it is so easy, whatever! I have started ,today, to watch your videos, you make it look so simple and soothing to the soul. I will continue to watch your videos in hopes I will one day paint like my mother! Thank you for making these videos possible for those of us who really want to learn! North Carolina😊

Thank you for inspiring me I am a 78 year old widow from Queensland Australia. I Have never painted with acrylics before but I am very interested and loved your video. I have all the materials but have been too nervous to start, but now with your help I will be on my way. Thank you again. Regards Di

This is a great tutorial has definitely made me understand depth! Thanks from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Rod, thanks for that great intro. You make it sound so easy, and encourages people like me @ 57 and your other commenter Judy to get down to something we've had a deep, inner yearning for. I'm from way Down Under in New Zealand, and eager to put all your instructions into practice very soon. GOD bless, mate!

I am 78 years old and have been doing art since 2009. I always like to watch instructional videos so I can learn more. I have mostly been doing pencil drawings and some acrylic and watercolor and even tried some colored pencils. I really appreciate your taking time to make instructional videos. I am from Alanreed Texas.

Haven’t painted in decades (other than some crafting and pouring) - inspired to review and practice here in Texas!

Madison, MS, USA here. Thank you for these videos!! I’m amazed with what you can do with only four colors! I’ve learned so much from this one video. I’ll probably watch it 10 more times. I wish I could purchase this painting from you to keep and practice from. Thanks again :)

I'm an Aussie living in Yorkshire England. Great to hear you talking and painting Australian colours....I miss it. I'm just starting out with acrylics and am learning a lot from your videos. Thank you, keep them coming ☺️

NAmerica-Houston. I've always been an avid art admirer/historian. I received a beginner's kit for painting with all the bells and whistles so now I must learn to paint and admire my own paintings. Your video is amazing ..you make it seem easy. Thanks for sharing your talent.

It was magical to watch you transform a blank canvas into a captivating landscape. Your clear, systematic explanation gives me great confidence to try something new. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

A brilliant painting demonstration Sir. I will certainly be watching more of your demonstrations

Good informative tutorial. Many others go too fast and cut corners. Look forward to watching more. Dee, London, England

Thank you so much. From India. Something worth to spend time on during lock down here in Vythiri, Kerala State. 73 years old.

Just a quick “thank you” for sharing your technique! I’m a 57 year old professional sales rep, who has always wanted to learn painting techniques. I really appreciated you scaling it down to 3 colors and 3 brushes. I’ll keep viewing your videos to continue to learn. It took me about an hour painting the little cabin at the base of the mountains. Can’t wait for the next one!

I'm from Aurora, Ontario and loved this video. Taking an online course but for all levels and I was getting completely lost as didn't know basics. This has been so very helpful. I love the speed at which you give instructions!! Thank you.

I'm a beginner. I've watched video tutorials from other sites for 3 weeks now, and was afraid to start. I watched just one of your video's. This one. The intimidation and fear are gone! Wow, you are amazing, and I am motivated to begin. Thank you so much, from Texas USA

Hi, thanks for sharing the video, nice learning about creating depth in landscapes! I am watching from Sweden, and I am certainly going to try painting your picture. We have a lot of home time now, with the pandemic of the Corona virus! Hope you stay healthy and that your country will not be so heavily attacked by it! Regards from Sweden!

I'm watching in California USA. I'm an artist who's hit sort of a dry spell, nothing stirring in me, so, I really enjoyed this simple little video to help get those juices flowing again. Thank you so much!! Keep em coming!

Thanks a mil Rod! Watching your video's from White River, South Africa! I appreciate your method of teaching very much! Been to Noosa - its just gorgeous! Am subscribing to your channel so that I can paint along and hopefully grow a new skill set!

This was a great lesson. I especially liked how you explained each step and technique. I'm a wanna be painter and will never be a great artist but painting brings me joy. I believe that's what it's all about.

I am from Durban, South Africa and I loved your lesson it was so informative.

Saltcoats Scotland, just started painting by numbers just enjoying my first lesson as a Senior.

This is one of the best tutorials I’ve seen. Good explanation of tones and colours and simplifies the whole process. Geoff U.K.

I'm 64 and just a learner.. Barnawartha VIC Australia is my home.. enjoying your lesson.

Super excited to try Acrylic painting for the first time. Thank-you for such an inspirational presentation, I think I might actually be able to do this! ( I do wish I had viewed this before purchasing a lovely box of 60 colours of Acrylic.)

Great tips! Super clear tangible things like: "Cool colors recede into the background and warm colors come forward in the foreground" -plus he's talking about Noosa, AUS - I love that place.

Decks Saints I am also a Filipina from New Zealand. I am doing stone painting. It is an inspiring hobby. I am selling my work in the flea market, it's not a big money but I am happy to please people.

I have been using watercolour pencils and polychromos but thought I would give acrylic a go. So your tutorial is the first video I watched on how to paint with acrylics and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it so I have subscribed to your channel. I am in Wiltshire, England.

From the USA, California. Thanks for a very informative lesson. Helping to get through the pandemic without too much boredom!

Watching from Ontario , Canada . My granddaughter needs a forest painting with mushrooms for an art project . She needs several small acrylic paintings on a swatch of material , from friends and then she needs to sew them together. So I got conscripted! I’ve never done acrylic painting. Have taken a couple of water colour classes. Enjoying this tutorial.

I really enjoyed this lesson. I especially liked how you explained each step and technique. I am a beginner and will never be a great artist but I enjoy painting. I believe that's what it's all about. FYI....I'm from Canada, I'm 58 and have never even considered picking up a brush. Its kind folks like you that help folks like me take a risk and learn something new. since I turned 50 I have learned to play the guitar and the ukulele. I started colouring and now painting.....the sky really is the limit.

Thank you, I found that when I painted something for my kids years ago I was painting like I did in school back in the end of the 1960s. After watching Bob Ross ,I have taken it back up, but I am using acrylic. My 1st mistake is putting to much paint on the brush ,so I thank you for showing me how to do it, I am in the UK, and it's not yet midnight ,so this to you will be so last year,Ha .Happy New Year, stay safe and well

Simply wonderful. Easy to follow. Thank you from Mississippi

That's beautiful, mate. Done in 50 minutes, amazing. I live in Scotland and I do photography and bushcraft. I've planned to order an acrylic art set next pay day to paint scenes while I'm out camping and to paint off of my photographs at home. I'm hoping to paint scenes of my tent int the woods (Mostly coniferous trees, and or birch and sycamore) by my campfire, hills and burns (streams) with small waterfalls occasionally. What you have done is inspirational. I've had a go at watercolour a number of years ago, but I was quite below average at it. I try to put too much detail in and end up confusing myself. I've tried pencil drawing and had the same problems; though not as bad, I can't seem to get perspective right either. I'm hoping to have more success at the acrylic painting. I've got a really good eye for photography, but I have been making photographs for over 40 years, I'd like to translate that into painting for my own pleasure. Thank you for the lesson.

I am only a beginner and this has helped me, I am eager to get started.

This is a revelation to me! Your approach and the process was facinating to watch. Greetings and many thanks from the flat lands of NE Indiana, USA!
