I have learned more from your video than I have in watching over 25 other artists teaching grass. THANK YOU AND KEEP THEM COMING!!!
Fan brush. Dear God, it's so simple but exactly what I needed to figure out so I can get the grass done in my current painting. Thank you so so so much!!!!
best grass painting tutorial i've seen
...fan brush. that was it. thank you so much. I have been trying to paint this grass scene for my dad's birthday present and haven't been able to figure out why I couldn't get it right. and the fan brush was it. thank you.
+Rachel Settoon you're welcome! Sometimes the right brush can really make a difference. Would love to see the piece when it's done!
Thank you for sharing this video, it really helped me and I learned a lot of tips , you’re a great artist and teacher!!
You explain everything so very well. I have had trouble with the fan brush when painting grass. Now I know what I will do in a different way. Thanks.
That was just so good! I was humiliated in a workshop last weekend by creating what the teacher called "deadly green" and even though I knew it was not good, I just couldn't do any better and push the greens into the background, mid & foreground. 'Just didn't know what I was doing. What I had to do was create a grassland with deep greens, just as you demonstrated. Creating that distance and then foreshortening it. Wow. You've given me something to practise with now. 'Very grateful & subscribing.
I'm SO glad I found your video. I've been struggling with grass on a painting and your explanation of the different types of strokes, brushes, colors and methods has really helped me. I had almost given up on the painting until I saw this. I can't wait to get back to my painting. Thank you so much for your clear explanations! And thank you for your time in doing this - I appreciated it and I watched it all in one sitting!
Once again, I have thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial! You are an exceptional artist and instructor. Thanks so very much for sharing your talent and your time. I truly appreciate learning all of your techniques to make the painting come to life!

Fantastic! I watched it all the way through.....I wasn't bored-love that you explain the brushes you are using, the colors, and when you are thinning the paint. Very helpful.

Thank you for helping me finish a project that I had a block with 🙏
i want to thank you very much for this tutorial for grass, it has really helped me on a project I'm doing.
Raeanne Seliga you are quite welcome! I'd love to see the project when you finish it.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. I liked the video. It was very informative and I learned a few new techniques. I appreciate your dedication. Not many artists take their time explaining and sharing as you did. Thank you again.
Thankyou for this wonderful tutorial. I have been painting for a little over a year, but have pretty much painted abstract where you just have to suggest it is grass. I have recently started venturing into more realistic paintings but grass has been a problem for me. This really helped.
I can't believe that you get any negative comments on your video. I guess someone forced them to watch it against their will. Anyway, I really appreciate the time you took to explain your techniques step by step and loved the two cameras. It's very helpful to actually see what you're doing on the palette, also. You are very good. Thanks for sharing and keep the free lessons coming.
I LOVED this video. It’s exactly what I was looking for! I wish people weren’t so negative about your videos. I love the extended explanations!
I haven't subscribed to any art channels lately but I'm subscribing to this one!
You have my thanks!
Excellent. Thank you. I really appreciate your level of organization and preparedness.
You are brave for painting in a long sleeve shirt. Thanks for the tutorial. Much appreciated
Depends on what I'm doing. I do roll it up most of the time though
Thank you very much for this wonderful video. I'm new to painting and drawing. This is wonderful.
Thanks a million. I learnt a lot from you. It was a fun learning experience. I felt I could do it now and that is very empowering, indeed.
I have to say great tutorial I'm glad I stumbled upon this. Helped me a lot for my painting class. Thanks
Enjoyed watching you paint this lovely scene.
I gained some very good insights from this video. Thanks!
Thank you very much for sharing this tutorial! Thorough explanation at a good pace.
Thank you!! This helped me so much. I have watched it 2 times and i have learned so much from this so thank you again for this video.❤️
Great job of teaching. I am a very new beginner. Thanks.
Very good tutorial, I really appreciate how you explain everything. Very helpful for someone like myself just starting out in painting and trying to learn.
Thank you so much for posting! The best one I've seen and very, very helpful!!
Thank you so much... this was exactly the explanation I needed.
Perfect and hugely helpful. Thank you so much.
Thank you from a senior beginner.
Thanks for this video, very good......I am gonne see it again and try to do it

i have a picture i am doing got a stormy sky with lighting and grass with a red barn right to the side it will be my focal point what your eye would see but have a very hard time with my shading on my barn it looks so fake can you help please love your work i have been following thanks for looking Dawn
+Dawn Glynn Sure send me a picture of what your working on. Either through G+ or email (see the about page on the channel)
25:22 - Looking for actual grass blades . (Time stamp for my references only)…
do you often paint acrylics on watercolor paper?? the reason I ask is, I have a huge roll of watercolor paper and want to use it for acrylics......
+Mary Aruksar I personally don't do it very often, but it does work well as long as you don't paint too thick. It's painting paper often yields better results for precision painting of more graphical styles.
+Mary Aruksar Depends on how thick the paper is. Mine is approximately 300 g/m2 which refers to 140 lb I believe. I apply a number of layers and some can be quite thick. It works perfectly.
please show us how to paint the tall grass like japanese blood grass. thanks
For that I'd do a combination of technique 3 @25:07 and 5 @35:22 Build up the tall shapes with the liner brush instead of the fan or flat.

Could you do one with dead grass?
+Jamie FallOutBoy sounds fun! I'll have to add that to my list of stuff to make this year. I imagine it will mostly just be a color change and the strands of grass will feel more limp and wilted.
If that's the case let us sneek into his page and learn something
Nice video to watch if ur nt sleepy. fell asleep in the 1st 5 minutes... too long to hold on.
misbah khan That's why there's time codes in the description box. I don't expect anyone to watch this in one sitting.
+misbah khan OMG! Who are you tellin'? I have had to rewind this like 20 times...that first one was a wreck. It takes like 12 minutes to lay down the first one and I may have even had a seizure or 2. I just wanted the cliff notes. It's currently 2:40am and I started this at 10:30pm.
+k knowles if you're looking for something shorter check out my time lapse paintings. :)
+DMC Films and Cinder Block Studios Hello! I don't mind the actual length of your video at all. Most painting vids are lengthy, some in the 3-4 hours range with not a single complaint about the length of the video but if I may make a suggestion for future vids, It would greatly enhance the viewer's pleasure if you could just keep a more upbeat pace and if you are continuously providing information your viewers will stay engaged. I think that is why a lot of people were rather irritated or upset with this particular vid. There are a good amount of lulls throughout which gives the viewers time to become uninterested, bored or in some of our cases, actually fall asleep. I kept trying to watch the vid because I was certain that there was good content in the video (which there was!) and you are a knowledgeable and talented artist. A lot of people, new or seasoned artists, could learn a great deal from you. Don't take this personal, it's just feedback so you know what kind of experience I had as one of your viewers and what I feel would make future videos more enjoyable and productive. Ty for taking the time to put the vids together and responding to my comment. Happy Painting!
WHOA TEXT WALL!
I appreciate the suggestions. Many of my shorter videos are more upbeat than this, but it's harder for me to be peppy when I'm focused. In many of my video I have gotten better at filling the silence with talk on technique, but after awhile I run out of things to say. All of my longer videos have this problem really.
So it sounds to me like you can use white lol. Still very helpful! Thank you.
Adding white to a green makes it look "minty." You can do it but it will look a bit off.
1 like and suscription. Thanks
Watching the techniques was beneficial. However, too wordy - too long for my taste, and I honestly didn't see 6 different ways to portray grass.
Dan Butterworth Well that's all your opinion. My long tutorials exist for those that need the lengthy explanation. My shorter videos exist for people like you who want shorter content.
DMC Films and Cinder Block Studios Yes - that's my opinion. That's why there is a comment block. Your reply sounds a bit curt so if you don't want opinions or input - don't put the videos up for the public. Learn to take criticism in stride.
Dan Butterworth Sorry if I sounded a bit negative, but your comment seemed equally as "curt." I'm just saying my video are for beginners and not everyone will find use in them.
Dan Butterworth You are one miserable individual. Your initial comment implies you were disappointed with the overall content of this video. Personally I think it was well thought out and highly informative - not bad for free. Your input is totally invalid when it is overly apparent that this is a beginners tutorial. I am quite sure he more than welcomes criticism but the point you seem to be missing is whether or not it is deemed 'constructive' criticism. Who cares if it isn't to your taste anyway - are you someone important? want your slippers fetching?
Phil Dodson Thank you Phil for those kind words.
You do not thin the paint with water, you use acrylic medium!!! Use water to clean your brush ONLY.
You can do either actually. It's a very common misconception that water is bad for thinning.
I enjoyed your video but may I sugest that you do away with the background music. It is very distracting.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've actually done so in newer videos already
Trust me it doesn't matter how young you are, your life is too short to listen to this guy blether on. Getting to the point is not in this guy's world. Who told him he could teach was wrong. I suspect he just decided he was good at it.
NO YOU AREN'T stick to daubing.
+Ian Kirkup Wow something got you pretty butthurt today. Sorry you didn't like it, but my video is for beginners and show my particular painting style and method. There are other ways to paint besides my way, so I hope you do find something you like in the future.
DMC Films and Cinder Block Studios Dear me you still don't get it do you? How obtuse.
You hacked me off. No one else just you alone. Did you never hear the expression "a picture is worth a thousand words"? Take it on board big boy over here we'd call you a gobshite!
+Ian Kirkup I "hacked you off?" yeah, I don't even know what that means. Look I get it, you don't like my work and you don't think I'm good. Guess what? My subscribes seem to think differently. Just because you aren't helped by this video doesn't mean you need to bring others down. Not that I'm bothered by your trolling comments, as it does boost the engagement of this video and helps it spread more (ie. your hate his helping this video out). Also...yeah I know this is a long video. I don't expect most people to sit down and watch the whole thing. That's why I include time codes in the description box to break down each lesson in to manageable chunks. Maybe you'd like some of my shorter videos instead, but I doubt you'd have anything positive to say on those either.
Ian Kirkup that wasn't even a good insult. noob. Your comments are as dull as a Highlights magazine in a dentists office.
+Ian Kirkup dude..wtf??? Dont watch it then for fucks sake..what a drama queen!!!
Awaw
too slow and too much talking
Try this old one then: ruclips.net/video/ldpVc9BoASw/видео.html
Get to the point dude.
Go watch another video dude.
Jesus!! Too much talking my goodness. You've got good technique and are a good artist but my god why do you have to over explain everything to the point of making one's skull hurt. I am sorry but come on dude!
Wow another negative comment! It's like this video is a magnet for them because other people love it so much!
No dude first of all I gave your video a thumbs up because I learnt something from it. For which I am very thankful to you. But just a word of unsolicited advice is that you just need to DO what you're trying to show rather than waste 5 minutes before showing the technique just talking talking talking about the technique. If you would just DO what needs to be done and speak while using that technique it would make for a very engaging and efficient instructional video. But you're talking too much leading up to whatever it is that you're trying to show and then one has to end up forwarding the video and then you miss something and then you need to rewind it to where you start showing the technique. Its been a bit of a headache.
Yes, I get it you that don't owe anything to any of us negative commenters. And I just need to shut my mouth and move on. I just wanted to learn something, which I did. So thank you once again for that. But I wish you would think about what I wrote above.
Sorry I'm used to random comments from haters on this video (and a handful of others). The thing is that I do have shorter videos but tutorials like this draw in viewers who really need the breakdown of that step by step on exactly what I'm doing. I found more negativity in doing quick stuff where people were like "whoa that's too fast," than I get people thinking that ones like this are too long. You can't please everyone, but this type of speed seems to do well in the art community here on RUclips.
Those like the two of us I feel can learn a lot more from a time lapse than we can a long tutorial like this.
I understand. Anyway thank you for making this video and showing your technique. The universe will reward you for helping us other beginners with learning important technique. Thanks again
