Thank you very much Morris!

This is just about the best instructional video channel on KZread. He does everything right: No annoying background music! He clearly describes what he is doing in a post filming voice-over NOT while he is painting...recognizing, rightly, how difficult it is to do both at the same time ! He speaks slowly and distinctly. He shows us his reference photo as he does the work. Bravo!

I’ve just picked up the paintbrush I dropped forty years ago... I’ve embarked on a journey of discovery and practice. I copy a masterwork, twice, then a third time with me in the picture! Just doing my first one, and have learnt so much. Definitely the way to go for me. Thanks for all your videos.

Thank you for sharing this exercise, your process and thoughts! I would really love watching you livestream another master copy or just another painting!

Thank you, Alex! I'm starting to draw this portrait, and I'll follow your advices.I'm happy I found your channel.

Really enjoyed this. I aim to start painting after lockdown and when I have my shed converted. I will definitely give this a go. Thanks and keep safe

I love hearing your thoughts and how you fix things as you go along! Very useful!

YES, I would like to watch a live stream, length isn’t an issue. Would be helpful for a split screen showing palette and canvas work. Thank you for your time and instruction. Stay well.

Absolutely brilliant! My fav painter. Looking forward to having a go. Will look out for your next offering.

Your video always manages to be incredibly succinct and yet densely packed with information. Really appreciate your thoughts and process in master studies!

Thank you for devoting your time to us. Wonderful job you’ve done, mate!

Drawing and painting daily keeps me focused and, I believe, healthy. Thank you for your demonstrations and insights.

Just wanted to say ive been watching hours of your videos the last couple days. Absolutely love your work and the information you share!

This Singer Sargent painting really is so gorgeous. What a master

This was awesome, and insightful, and the commentary had the most perfect information about your thoughts and efforts while working through this process. Would love to see more of these.

I love when you makes us see how different lines and shapes line up with eachother, and makes us notice techniques he uses like carving out the silhouette with the background color.

I enjoyed this painting demo and your commentary , thank you

You made this day of isolation a better one. My blessings from Italy

Excellent job. Thanks for sharing

You are an amazing artist. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

This is a valuable video about the atelier painting process. Sergent really is such a marvel for his simplified realism. What mastery!

Goes to show the genius of Sargent. Excellent master study.

Thank you so much for being so generous with your time and talent. Keep safe!!!!! Un abrazo desde California.

very therapeutic watching you paint. thank you!

No any brush stroke is wasted, what a master!

Thank you, great exercise and suggestion

Wonderful video! So helpful to see your process and listen to your tips. Thank you!

Love this video so helpful and clear instructions and no faffing about.Thank you

Excellent tutorial Alex, very inspiring, thank you.

Thank you for this. Just finished an attempt at a copy of Singer Sargent and realised from watching this that I should have tried a "massing technique". I learned a lot from your lesson.

I've painted a lot of master copies, but felt so inspired and informed watching yours. I cannot wait to add this into my quarantine routine! Thank you for making this video.

This is brilliant, definitely having a good at this one! I absolutely love the accuracy of your teaching, very concise, clear and inspiring.

Thank you for your fabulous video tutorials! 🎨🙂

Thanks for your generosity.

Your videos are always so helpful. Thank you so much. I plan on incorporating these ideas, especially the tip about your ability to do a master copy not being reliant on knowing perfectly the techniques of the original painter, to my own paintings.

Thank you..for the valuable information on art

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I'm learning a lot. I'd watch a (saved) live stream in bits since I'm one of the lucky ones who is still working full time during this crisis. Again, thank you very much for sharing.

I was fortunate to find your channel recently - your portrait tutorials are so helpful, so thank you!

Fabulous rendition! You are a master-artist!

Though I'm not an oil painter, I've been interested in and studying portraiture lately and your tips for placement of elements and shapes, highlights, etc. is most helpful. I'll be able to use them in my drawings and eventually in watercolor (when I get the nerve). Thank you!

A livestream would be a great treat and extremely useful to us budding painters! 🙏 thank you

Really great tutorial...Thank you very much! Good study of Sargent!

You're extremely based and know what you're talking about with art, much respect. I'm learning concept art and the more I do this kind of work the more I fall in love with it compared to working digitally, but they both have their advantages. Thanks chief.

Thankyou for sharing these valuable lessons!😊🙏

Hi, Alex! I just recently found your channel and I must say that I am really impressed with how much info I got from watching your videos. I am a 2D/3D artist working in the gaming industry, and well pass my beginner/learning faze, but as everyone knows (I hope), you should never stop learning. For me, what you are teaching is the hardest thing an artist faces: simplifying. This is the one thing that will help you grow as an artist, more than maybe any other thing. I just subscribed to your Patreon page, and I hope others will do too. Keep it up, really great info. Thank you.

Well Done! Thank you so much. My mass drawing course is all about teaching people how to simplify. It's really basic exercises, but it's the only way I know how to show people how to actually see and do it. Simplify the shapes and compress the values. And even tho the exercises are basic, the principles apply to every subject. When I'm teaching, I'm still always repeating to my more advanced portrait students, they exact same things I told them when they started my mass drawing course.

Thank you fir sharing~I enjoyed watching your video till the end~

Thanks, very instructive

This is fantastic, thanks.

Thank you so much! Great video, I learned a lot

Good to see you back! Just subscribed last night and learned a ton from your approach. Did a quick digital sketch of you from one of your vids to test a theory. Light bulb moment! I’ll tag you on IG when I post in my story. Thank you for the knowledge & inspiration.

loved your lesson. and yes I would like to see your painting in live stream so i can see your strokes color mixing and other things are important . thanks.
