Not only do I learn something but these videos are so relaxing! I like how you don't feel like you have to keep chattering and just allow the soft guitar music to play while you paint :D

I know this video is over nine years old, however, this tutorial was extremely helpful. New subscriber. 👍

LOVE love love your lessons! I'm in the North Georgia Mountains, USA with no nearby art classes. I've been staring at a painting of pears I started months ago, but don't know what direction to go to finish. This lesson on shading has inspired me. Very informative how you began the piece with a complete wash of yellow ochre to create an overall undertone. My background and foreground are flat, but I now know how to improve them. Seeing the Cad Red Light addition against the Burnt Sienna was literally brilliant, like the crash of a cymbal at the end of a symphony. Thanks for taking the time to help those of us who want to paint but haven't the access to an instructor!

I just want to say that this and all your videos are greatly appreciated. I also like your style of instruction that isn't too consumed with showing every detail of the process because it gives the student some room to experiment and grasp things independently but at the same time all the essential parts of the process are covered so the student doesn't get lost. I am someone who knows absolutely nothing about painting. This is actually the third painting I have ever attempted and the first one that was this complicated. But by the end of the first video I was absolutely amazed at how good the result was, I really couldn't believe it. Thank you so much.

That was brilliant! It was so in-depth and you could really appreciate how only a few colours were could be used to create a very realistic looking piece.

Thanks for the video it was really helpful.

Can I ask you how are you softening those edges? Because when I'm painting, the paint dries very quickly and then it seems almost impossible to softhen it for example with dry brush. Could you please give me some quick advice ? And sorry for posting three comments under your videos in a row. I got a little to passionate :-)

@willkempartschool

+Martin Kohoutek Hi Martin, pleased you've been enjoying the lessons, to soften the edges the paint has to be wet, you can still use a dry brush, but the paint still has to be wet, you can try using a medium like glazing liquid gloss to give to you a bit more working time on the canvas. Cheers, Will

Hi Will, really like your videos! I have just started watching them so you may have already covered this somewhere else, but, how do you set up your palette? I paint with oils, so you don't have to worry about the paint drying quickly. With acrylics, I place my paint on a damp towel, which keeps them moist, but the coverage is affected. I am a total beginner with acrylics.
