Hello Ian ... I hope everything is fine ... I'm from Roo de Janeiro , Brasil ... I watch your lessons every day ... I painted for 45 years with a classic tendency rich in details ... you radically changed my painting with simplification and a new focus in design ... painting only what really matters ... I am very very very happy with the freshness of my new work ... stay with God ... lots of health ... sorry about my english ... It's like Tarzan ... 😂😂😂
Hi Leandro, well even as Tarzan you certainly made it clear. Thank you for letting me know how my videos have helped. Makes me happy to hear it. Best wishes to you as well.
Hi Leandro, Funny, I too have been painting a while, and have been stubbornly (self-taught) sticking to my usual routine, mostly over painting my work, with occasional success. After watching Ian, and a few other earnest artists, I feel like I am breaking out of my shell, however old habits do die hard, and it is a constant battle between my alter egos. Ian definitely has his act together and I respect his conclusions. Thank you and good luck.
I like to take a day and concentrate on color mixing and using my different brushes. There is a definite learning curve with watercolor but I enjoy it. I paint to help me with the loss of my Son. It keeps my mind busy.
Ann Sowers, can I say I’m so sorry for your loss. I am able to say I know how you feel, because I really do. It’s been many years since I lost my twenty six year old son. I don’t know if your loss was recent, but painting will help you. I’m a watercolor painter, but I dabble in oils also. Keep painting , keep your mind and hands busy. The pain of losing a child never goes away fully, but you can learn to live with it. You do. Tallahassee Florida .
Im so sorry for your loss. It’s been 9 years since I my son and painting and creating with oils and learning has given me an inspiration that helps with that loss.
I love what you did. Honestly, I didn't see much in the photograph to interest me, but you turned it into a thing of beauty~ LOL...I've probably passed by a thousand such opportunities. ;- )
Loved seeing a painting done without a traditional blocking in stage. I'm a very detail-oriented person, and I have such a hard time with big blocks of color that I know will be covered by something else! Thanks for another great lesson.
Wonderful demo Ian. Your brush strokes are so relaxed and effortless to my eyes. Years of painting experience for sure. Interesting watching you go from light to dark. Your greens are beautiful, transitions, movement, direction and complexity and much more show how to move through a painting. I’m becoming a Tuesday regular when I can. Thank you. Stay safe and well.
Great lesson on brush strokes. I notice you twirl the brush as you drag it across the canvas and many of your marks are similar to those in your drawings. Another good reason to do the drawing first! Thank you Ian for another fantastic video!
I’ve just started watching you and already feel more comfortable with your teachings than all the 1000’s of painting videos I’ve watched...I will continue...thanks...
Margaret was right, this is worth another viewing for the brushwork. It was also a good review of the steps: crop the view, sketch the road map, draw the value masses, all this before painting. Now I have a third mantra: crop, sketch, draw, paint. It's great that these videos stay up for revisiting. Thanks again Ian.
Came to your sure through James Gurney. Always been a watercolorist , but a friend is having me take acrylic classes with her … and I miss the great lights that I used to get with watercolor . You sir , have proved to me that an opaque technique can be full of LIGHT! Thank you , and you deserve the $60/month I’m paying for these classes!!!
The brushwork of all the different greens in the foreground creates a lot of movement. Love the way you have accentuated the blue in three places. Thank you
I have been totally blocked in my painting for the last 15 months or so, not knowing what to do about it. Having just stumbled on your videos Ian I feel as though I have some starting points to get back into it. I’m going to give it a try today, so thank you so much.
Thank you for your wonderful “handholding “ to take us with you through your process. I’m new at this and am soaking up instruction, no longer thinking it isn’t authentic if I don’t stumble on truth all on my own!
I look forward to your Tuesday videos and sunlit paintings. It's a joy seeing new scenery--alleyways to canyon walls. Your demo and tips have helped me gradually improve each week. Thank you so much for generously sharing your knowledge.
I knew I'd like this painting...just from the drawing. Still not sure why your colors stay so clean while you're dancing the brush over darker/lighter wet paint. I'll keep watching...I know I'll figure it out. See ya next Tuesday! Thanks again...
It may be that you don't see (because of the editing) that I clean the brush a lot and get quite a bit of paint on it so the new paint sits on top of the thinner paint beneath it.
Hi Ian, thank you for your demo, great seeing how loosely you paint and always end up with a lovely result. I saw you were using the blunt end of the brush I also do this on occasion but thought you might like to know that if you sharpen the end by using a blade you can get the varnished surface off the brush and it seems to work or scrap better. I thought you might like to try it. 😊
Thanks so much, Ian. As usual, a thoughtful and useful video. Your point is well taken about getting values right and refining color later, but in some future video please discuss what you did to the blocked-in painting to arrive at final hues. Did you, for example, achieve that late afternoon warmth by applying a thinned layer of deep yellow/ochre to all the vegetation to knock down the bluish cast of the block-in colors? Just ordered a copy of MASTERING COMPOSITION, eager to see what it contains.
I've been enjoying your videos a long time now! I've been wondering what type of brush you use. Are they mainly filberts? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Hello Mr Roberts it's Juliana from Melbourne Australia. I am 71 I just started watercolour. But I have been watching your short series and I was thinking I would like to maybe try oils, or are acrylics ok to? But I'm on a pension can I afford the canvas? Do you make your own frames and stretch the canvas or do you buy it already made? Please what brand of paints do you use ? Can I afford them in the pension? P.s I think your work is lovely and your a lovely easy to follow teacher. Thankyou Mr Roberts.
I didn't like this...even as you painted through it...but at the end you showed us your finished piece. I thought it was great! Ya done good here. I have some more detail than you do with yours, but so far, you usually, "pull it out" and I end up really enjoying what I watched while you painted over your panel. Thanks for a good, educational time.
Hi Ian, I am watching your vedios for the sake of my 9 y old arty boy who wants doing his own stuff. It seems I can be an artist now with you simplified some of the features :D is there a chance of a simple series for kids?
I am finding so much benefit in these short compositional videos. Thank you very much for taking the time to show us these basic ideas. I am trying to learn to draw and paint on my own and the light is starting to shine.
Thanks again Ian. I especially appreciated seeing how you approached that field in the foreground. It takes up a good portion of the canvas. So far, I mostly paint en plein air, mostly because I have a hard time seeing all those different "greens" in a photograph. It seemed like you used the same brush for the entire painting. Is that correct? What type of brush is it? Also, it seems like you don't hesitate to "push" the brush. Does this limit the lifespan of your brushes?
I like paintings with big foregrounds (of course it needs to be interesting but from a design standpoint). I think the more you paint plein air the more you learn the colors of nature so then you can fill in the gaps that a photograph inevitably creates with your plein air experience. I often just use the same brush. I clean it a lot (that gets edited out) and often grind it and they don't last long. Rosemary and Co and Escoda Clasico are both good. Filberts.
@@IanRobertsMasteringComposition Wonderful. Thank you. I too like the expansive foregrounds. You created a beautiful painting. Thanks for the brush notes. I was on the Rosemary & Co site recently, trying to figure out what to sample.
I echo my previous comments. Always fresh and beautiful - you inspire tremendously. Lately I've been able to create a space to work in oils, and soon I'll begin playing with oils. Thank you again!❤🔥💐
Every time I encounter a new work of yours, I instantly recognize it, and the same initial appeal of your subtle colours has me caught yet again! I've no room to paint, but I take your compositional and colour information to my work digitally. Thank you huge.💐
Fantastic, all around! Painting😍 I use to be afraid that planning a painting would turn it into a killjoy activity. Yet it can actuality clear the way for more in the moment expression 'cause the big things are already taken care of.
To my mind, that is it exactly. Sure there may be some experimental idea that requires just trying something to see what happens. But mostly I think a map is what you need before heading into the woods.
I love it. I am one of those resistant planners. I am really not sure why. I am going to exolore that this week. I dont think its just being lazy. Maybe its because I enjoy the paint so much..skip the veggies right to dessert? I dont know. I do know when I do some sketching and have a design, it turns out much better.
Great demo Ian. I can relate the laying of the vertical lines in the middle ground field and the more oblique lines coming to the foreground to painting ocean waves. Waves are horizontal toward the horizon and often oblique when coming to shore. It makes a more interesting design. I am always looking forward to your Tuesday morning teachings! Thank you!
I agree with almost every comment here. This beautifully done. I always find your lessons to be so helpful! I do have one question…I noticed the consistency and flow of your paint is so much better than what I use straight out of the tube and wonder what medium you use (if any) or is it the brand of oils paint?
Hello Ian, First off, I appreciate your help and advice. Secondly, I hope you can help me with a problem I'm having with my paintings ... Even when I follow some of the videos here on RUclips, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My paintings always turn out where they look cartoonish or just plain fake. I know you may need more information or to see a painting I've done. But, do you reckon I'm just painting too heavily, putting too much paint on the brush or canvas ? If so, how does one go about correcting that as I have tried to correct it, but, been unable to do so. Would you have any other tips I can use to try and have my paintings come out looking more realistic ? I do really appreciate your help and advice. TY for sharing your techniques and knowledge with us.
Excellent video! Seeing your brushstrokes and the subtle flicking up for trees is helpful. And of course you always use a decent sized brush, even for details which is a good lesson I’m still internalizing with own painting.
Glad that was helpful Robin. The thing with the big brush is getting enough paint on the end that in fact you can make a small mark with it, rather than a half full brush which pretty much makes the mark the width of the brush.
Great! And I just spotted the actual brush you’re using for blocking in! It’s very pliable so you’re getting direction and movement even at that level!!! Can you say what type of brush it is please? 😀
Thank you, Ian. You are an inspiration and great source of very important information to those of us trying to find our way with painting. Happy Thanksgiving!
The paint looks so effective without the excess use of mediums. Am I correct, from viewing many of Ian's wonderful videos, that it's basically raw oil paints he uses to great effect?
Great learning as always. Thank you. I liked the painting more, just before it was completely finished. The contrast before it finished were awesome. 😆
Thank you for the brushwork tips. It's too easy to just do blobs for trees in the distance albeit altering the colours The direction of their growth is important to show and adds to their complexity.
"the adventure starts when you pick up the brush" amen.

I'm delighted you enjoyed it. Thank you!
I'm the worst at planning. I know I should but I don't. I draw, then color, and then I get frustrated and throw it away or delete. Grrrrr
I am grateful for these, always pleased on Tuesday morning. Thank you
Thank you. I would never have attempted to paint a scene with so much foreground. I feel like giving it a whirl.
Thank you so much
Watching you paint, especially hearing the choices and decisions you make as you go, is both interesting and useful.
I’ve just started watching you and already feel more comfortable with your teachings than all the 1000’s of painting videos I’ve watched...I will continue...thanks...

Thank you for sharing.
From prosaic photo to a work of art.

Jaw dropping at the end
One of your best demos! And such a beautiful painting and composition- thanks again for your generosity and thoughtfulness..
Thank you Catherine. Appreciate your letting me know you liked it.
You are just simply amazing!!!
Before noticing the artwork, I thought you were in a doctor's office 😊
Thank you for your great content.
Brilliant! Your paintings are beautiful and your videos really, really helpful. Thank you for your generosity.
Great instruction, I am so thankful for all yours demos. Thank you, all the best 🎨

Every scene interesting....where before it was not...before your painting it. That is landscape painting.
Your lessons are so valuable, thanks you so very much, From Australia
Hey Ian is your sketch near by too? How does that feed into the painting process?
I absolutely love this loose feeling. I strive in this direction but the struggle is real at keeping it loose. Thanks for the great video
Simply awesome
Non vale, non fai vedere come affronti la parte finale del dipinto: i veri segreti li tieni per te... Ahahah 😁

Enjoy your video. Is there green on your palette, which? Thanks
I have two. Chrome Oxide Green and Phthalo Green. Glad you enjoyed it.

Hi Ian, sorry if you've already answered this somewhere, do you mainly use natural bristle brushes or synthetic ones?
Hi John, I use hogshair filberts.
Your work inspires and teaches me as always! Thank you for sharing your process of "Mastering Composition".
You are right, Ian. The finished image has great coloration. Thank you.
Thank you, Ian. You are an inspiration and great source of very important information to those of us trying to find our way with painting. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanks giving to you too Gayle. Best wishes, Ian.
A beautiful Painting Ian. what's your focus or center of interest? I'm drawn to the sunlit trees in the background.
Hi Ian, I love your Tuesday posts! Thanks for putting them together 🙏
You are welcome. Love you name "Being authentic" Did you know I wrote a book called Creative Authenticity. So I am all in on the idea. Best wishes.
The paint looks so effective without the excess use of mediums. Am I correct, from viewing many of Ian's wonderful videos, that it's basically raw oil paints he uses to great effect?
Thanks Ian, brilliant as usual. Can I ask if you use any medium with your paint?
Please paint more still life’s
The leson I have learnt and has been highlighted for me is that I am far too heavy handed with my brushwork.
Thank you for this video Ian.
I really enjoy your videos! I’m wondering why do don’t post longer videos? I think lots of people would watch & be really appreciative 😊
Thank you..great artist, great teacher/ coach! Pascale, de FWI ( guadeloupe)
