Hi Andrew, I am not the person who usually reaches out to someone providing content on social media platforms. Also, because I am an artist who thinks "if I practise enough I can do it myself" therefore I usually don't 'buy' from others. I stumbled over your heron painting about 2 years ago and I was so excited to see a MASTER at work and sharing his techniques, moreover - I was gobsmacked at how brilliant the painting was. So here we are 2 years on and I have subscribed to your channel, I have watched most of your tutorials, some of your podcasts and 'bought' your EPIC MILFORD video. Whilst you don't know me, I feel like I am an old lost buddy so thank you for all your content, I really am amazed at how much I have learnt because as I have said... I am an artist. In fact, I am a mature aged artist (60 years young) with distinctions in painting from College and University, yet you opened my eyes about so many things!!! Thank you so much.

Talented painter, knowledgable teacher, generous soul.

Brother when you picked up all those bottles of mediums at the art store I was thinking: damn this would be expensive here in Hawaii🧐 Then I saw $477, wow. Thank you for spending you time and your money on my education. Much appreciated.

Andrew, you are heaven-sent! I know that traditional oil painting had dropped off the scene not too long ago, which makes it difficult to find good resources and education regarding oil painting. I think you are doing a wonderful job of keeping oil painting alive! I always enjoy your videos and I truly appreciate all the info you share. Thanks again!

This may be the single best series on oil painting on KZread. Genius. Thank you, Andrew. 10/10, sir.

Working as a billboard artist, we got our oils in quarts and gallons. We used a product called Smith Cream to paint on the surface to make blending easier. We also mixed Japan Dryer, Linseed Oil and paint thinner to mix with our paints to make them more pallettable.

Blessings TO Mexico. Please apologize to those around you for the behavior of some Americans these last three years especially... I want you to know that the majority of us are not mean jerks. Please know that we are working on changing things as soon as we can. Love and Blessings to the people of your country. Art joins us together, as do many other things. We must embrace that and hope for better times. Happy painting!

Really appreciated your breakdown of different mediums.

What I love about the tutorials is you make everything seem so achievable and inspiring. I think it's because you deliver it with passion which comes through. The humour helps too though.... Love everyone you do bonny lad keep up the great work.

As self taught, understanding mediums and enjoying your videos are brilliant keep doing what you do Andrew.👏👍

Andrew! This is a FANTASTIC video! It really helps to see the effects from using certain mediums in painting and seeing the concept of "fat over lean". Your videos are getting me really jazzed about wanting to start oil painting and I am hoping to do so in the near future. Thank you so much!

Im very happy to finally have a video that will describe the Fine Detail liquin. Cant wait to see that video! Thank You

I have been painting for quite a while, but I have never heard oil painting mediums explained so well. Thank you for sharing this excellent information.

Learn a lot from your tutorial each time. Thanks for sharing your skills and experiences it really helps me to understand more painting being a beginner.

This is a superb video, Andrew, and you are a credit to the art world, a light in the world at large. Thank you! 😃

I have been so confused about mediums forever. I can’t thank you enough for this video. So clear and concise. Excellent information!

You are one of kind, Sir! I always have had questions about this topic and never had someone go through in such detail about mediums. THANK YOU YOUR AWESOME

Thank you Andrew for such a clear explanation of the fat over lean etc - every time I study this I feel it sinks in a little deeper and it's great to have your tutorials to come back to for revision :). Brilliant - really appreciate that you take the time to share your skills with us :)

You are a great teacher, very articulate and clear ! Love it! I have watched many of your videos and learned a lot from you! THANK YOU!

they want the poor artists to spent as much as possible so that "the painting doesn't destroy itself while hanging on the wall because of low-class painting mediums". It is also important to check that a painting doesn't go up in flames because of too much linseed oil.

This is great! it's like you explained the Artist's Manual. I have been wondering for years about which medium/s to use, and have been messing about with linseed oils, but not really understanding what I was doing. Big heart appreciation.

I bet your local art store is happy to see you when get supplies! 🤣

Thanks so much Andrew. This was very helpful :) I just love watching your tutorials. They are so informative.

Andrew. Thank you once again for sharing great content. The topic of mediums can be confusing for hobbyists. Your overview was clear and concise.

You explained everything so well and in very good logic and demonstration. Thank you for bringing us these videos!

Very clear and thorough explanation Andrew, thanks.

Your videos are beautifully and very usefully done Andrew, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Your test panels provide legitimacy and authority to your expert and professional guidance. Thank you for a very informative tutorial on an obscure but essential topic for beginning oil paint practitioners!

Useful information explained well! Thanks for sharing your knowledge Andrew!

Out of all the videos ive watched, you explained the fat on lean rule the best. Thank you!

Another great video Andrew, thank you. I started off oil painting around 10 years ago using Liquin as I like to paint in thin layers. I have tried more traditional mediums, but always go back to Liquin. I can’t tolerate turps so my solvents of choice are Zest it or Gamsol. I don’t have a problem with Liquin fumes as I only use it in very small amounts. It does have varying drying times though depending on my colour mixes, but I feel confident using it.

I am appreciating your talent truely of all of my heart. Blessing for China. Your love of oil painting and your videos means a lot to me. Blessing from China.

Teaching others your talents is a very high calling. Love and light

Thanks for sharing Andrew, much appreciated.

Thank you so much,, you delivered as you said. I asked of this long ago and here it is. Your style is a lot easier to get and stick with, just love your style. Wished I had a studio like yours tho. Boy, nice, especially with your big painting in the back of you.

The most detailed and informative video I’ve ever seen on mediums. Yes it’s quite a bit overwhelming for a beginner but you explained it very well so it’s easy to understand. All the hardwork and efforts you put in to create this video is really appreciated because it helps number of people who want to learn from online teaching community. Thanks a lot 🙏

You really doing a great job up here. Really appreciate your effort and enthusiasm

OMG....I just can't thank you enough for your practically awesome tips .

Thank you again Andrew for your timeless advise and help! :)

Thank you so much you, are an amazing painter and teacher!! I just want you to know this video and the other contents in your channel are helping a lot of people, bless you!

Thanks so much! Great information… I’m just returning to painting after 20 years away (was concentrating on metalsmithing) and THIS TIME, I’m switching over to mostly using oils. I had definitely forgotten a bunch of technical stuff, so videos like yours are super helpful, thanks! New SUB👍

Yet another wonderful tutorial, Andrew. Thank you.

Very good tutorial very helpful for all painters, congrats and more power Andrew Tischler!

A really informative video. Thank you! With all those supplies laid out on the table, I'd guess you are not the only painter using them. Best to you, Andrew.

I never would've thought the stand oil to be so thick!! Amazing video!

Another informative video Andrew!! Thank you so much for your generosity and breadth of knowledge!! I bought your sets of brushes from Rosemary and am excited to get to use them soon!

Thank you Andrew for this video. It is really helpful. I am very new to oils, and you explained the mediums and their uses (especially the fat over lean rule), so well that I really get it now! Plus, I live in an area where we can’t always get the products mentioned in tutorials, so it is very handy to know how to mix up the three mediums. I will recommend this video to a beginner painting group I joined. 👍🏼

Love the video. So many choices, so little time to try all of them. Thanks for making life easier.

Thanks so much for this video! I've watched a bunch on the subject and yours is the more interesting and comprehensive one. 👍

I needed this vid Andrew!!

Great information in this video Andrew! TFS!!

I'd watched this video a long while back....amazing how much I'd forgotten. Such a great refresher! Thanks! 👍

Well Done. You answered a lot of my question, good editing very professional. I just bought my first oil paints today your videos are gonna be a huge help! TY

Good information and very timely for me! I paint with acrylics normally, but next month I am in a workshop where we have to use oils. I have been hunting around for basic beginner information on how to paint with oils. This was an excellent treatment of the topic. I especially liked your study on yellowing. Thanks!

Very high quality video explanation Andrew. Thank you!

Wonderful information. I’ve never learned these things in art classes and some through trial and error. Thank you so much

Thanks mate I m new to oil painting but your lessons are going to take me to new horizons 😊

Thank you Skillshare!

Thank you. I too needed to know more about mediums. This certainly did help.

You help us a lot! Thank you so much for share your knowledge! God bless you!

Exactly the video I needed today. Thank you sir!

Andrew, your explainations makes u the best artist ever

Thanks for making this mich detailed video.. I really appreciate your work.

Great video Andrew. Thanks for sharing.

Thank YOU... Andrew Tischler!!! An Effective Video. X

Thank you Andrew!

Thank you so much for this video Andrew that was the best explanation of fat over lean and painting mediums I’ve seen. It has answered all my questions about fat over lean etc which were putting me off getting into oil painting and made it all clear to me. I can’t wait to get started now. The painting of Milford sound behind you is awesome, such a large work seems so daunting, I am in awe of your achievement

Great help, love shopping at art supplie stores, like collecting everything

Thanks so much. I love learning from all of your videos.

Hey George, nothing wrong with being old ;-) I just spent almost $500 on supplies to get back to oil painting! After 50-odd years of teaching, I believe that this tutorial on mediums is one of the best pieces of art instruction around. It has certainly given me the courage to open my new bottle of Liquin Orignal and get to work. Many thanks, Andrew

I have been having trouble with spreading paint on the canvas so you really help me with that thank you I did not know that there was mediums so you really help me and thank you for telling me that don’t use to much❤

I've been using liquin original for some time and have had concerns about the "yellowing thing" so your video has put my mind at rest. Thanks.

Man I thought I was bad about overspending in an art store! You sure have me beat...giggles. Awesome information, much appreciated!

Thanks for the excellent tutorial video , excellent exeplanatin , step by step , excellent information . I love this video helping me too much , improving my painting . Thank you for your generosity . You are amazing artist.

One of our artist fellows pointed out that you can replace the child proof caps on the W&N medium bottles with the screw caps from non corked wine bottles. The width and thread size seems to be exactly the same. I use the ones with a silvered inner seal of the same type W&N use on the inside of their bottles. Gently wash the inside with plain water and allow to dry for a few days incase a little water is hiding behind the edge of the seal, and they're ready to go. The childproofs can be good to begin with, but after a while, little bits of medium can gum them up. My New Zealand wine caps seem to work great. Of course if you do have children of that age, it's best to avoid with the more toxic bottles.
