You are such a great teacher! I've learned more from a handful of your videos than I have many other tutorials in ages. Thank you so much for these lessons!!
I really hope your feeling better. I've watched your personal history video and I feel for you. Your so talented and seem like such a wonderful person. I really hope you feel better. Crossing my fingers for you. I'm a patron and still working on my parrot! Airbrushing the branch is very challenging
Yay, a good start to the day when you wake up and Lisa has a new video waiting for you! Good job, a bird that will perfectly fit in with your colour scheme 😉. Good luck on Tuesday and thanks for producing paintings/videos when you aren't well.
I love your videos, they're so inspirational and a great reminder for me to not get frustrated when my paintings don't turn out amazing in the first few layers
I am a new viewer as I only came across your channel today, and I must say that I find your work to be absolutely beautiful and exquisite. I haven't worked with acrylics before as I am currently teaching myself watercolours, and with what I have just witnessed here you have given me the desire to have a go at acrylic painting. I also love your way with describing what you are doing while in the process of creating, I find you to be very informative and easy to follow and because of all these things I have subscribed, thank you.☺
Thanks for the awesome tutorial. love your artwork and looking forward in learning from your tutorials. I'm a new artist and coming from been a Motion Graphics Designer for 20 years. Working mostly with the Adobe programs and 3D C4D...:-) I do have used Photoshop for some paintings too. I'm thinking about joining the Patreon soon. I have a question on Oil and Acrylics painting: Do you think it will be OK! using the Liquitex Gloss Varnish if I wanted to scanned my paintings and wanted to sell some of my painting prints? thanks! Marty,
Your colors are beautiful! I love how this painting turned out! Can't wait to try it! Would you consider doing a sunset? It is so hard to blend the different colors and get a realistic look. Thanks for all you do!
This painting is probably my favorite piece you have ever done (besides the sea turtle in colored pencil you did) this is just stunning work I'm in love. It looks better then the photo my favorite tutorial ever.😘 get better soon😻
Welcome back! I love this peacock! I have been waiting for the perfect one and this is it! I wonder how it would look on a regular canvas? Glad to see you back and hope you are feeling better!
I missed you, Lisa!!! I hope you're feeling better. Gorgeous work, as always. Also I have to get some of that transfer paper 😍😍😍 I hate sketching on canvas.
First of all, great job on the painting - I really appreciate your style and tutorials! Secondly, wow, I totally get why people varnish now - it really adds a little umpf to the painting. Thanks for showing that step!
Hi Lisa! So happy your back. Missed your videos. When you film, is it literally time lapse or fast forward motion? There is def a difference. I love the flow
The first time I ever used liquitex gloss varnish I made all the mistakes and I could possibly make, and now I have streaks. is there any way to correct that now that it's done? I love your videos and I particularly love you're painting that you just did! Thank you so much for making these instructional videos for newbies like me :-)
Hi Lisa, your videos are so informative. I love how you explain everything. I do have one question. I read that the liquitex varnish you’re using is permanent/non-removable. Does spraying with Krylon before the liquitex let the varnish be removable?
Gorgeous flamingo, Lisa! ;P The bit you did on varnishing was so helpful, I recently did my first acrylic painting in a couple of years, I've never varnished before and I'm terrified of ruining it. It's been sitting in my studio waiting to be varnished for nearly 2 months now lol O_O You made it look so easy though! Guess I ought to hop to it! xD
Do you have to use Kamar Varnish or will any varnish/fixative suffice to stop it smudging? I have is Winsor and Newton Fixative Transparent and Maimeri Fixative varnich.
As someone who's recently started oil painting, I have to varnish my paintings now and this video was really helpful, espcially in taking away some of the fear I've had. Would you recommend the Kamar Varnish as a base coat for an oil painting as well, and when using Liquin, how long do you wait before you varnish you're finished oil paintings.
Another great piece, Lisa. Question regarding your airbrush equipment: Does your compressor have a reserve tank, or does it run continuously while you airbrush? In a previous video you mentioned the brand of machine you use, but I was wondering about function and noise level. Thank you for all the help you provide!
Lachri Fine Art well, alright. my case isn't urgent so I might just test it on one of those 2.5 x 3.5 inch canvases that are super tiny. fun project & a good way to see which one I prefer! thank you for the response :^)
I am an artist who started painting and drawing at age 4 and attended art schools but I stopped painting as I grew older and am now trying to get back to painting....I fear that I have forgotten everything. What so u suggest to get back into painting? Any book suggestions or lessons?
I cheat t wo ways when I varnish my acrylic paintings. First, I use Patio Paint for when I paint my slate and other "things." They have a clear coat which I started using on my canvases as well. So far, so good! I also just pour it on my paintings.
rubberpicker I don't know if there's a more logical method of learning but for me it comes with learning colour theory, experimenting, making a mess through trial and error, and practice. Be bold with colour! :)
She has a video showing how to use the color picker in photoshop to isolate the color, from there you can look at your color chart or scribble on a sheet to find the color that most closely matches. If you have a physical reference, you can always use a hole punch in a sheet to isolate part of the picture.
This is not the answer you're looking for...but by practicing and experimenting. If something doesn't end up right, try something else. In this case I knew that going against a dark grey background I needed an opaque color for my first layers of blocking in feather shape, that's why I used the aqua green color first. The rest just comes from experience and practice.
Question, once you varnish a painting, can you go back over it with more paint if you decide something needs to be changed? :) Thanks for sharing your tips with us!!!! :D
In the future do you plan on increasing the lighting? It's really hard to see what you are painting. It's the same on your other videos. Is it the camera?
Great painting Lisa and so good to see that you are getting better now. I know what you mean about calling things by the wrong name I was doing a Giraffe, no Zebra I kept calling a Giraffe a few years back and I still get mixed up with the name on that painting lol
Lachri Fine Art i am also struggling with blending cause i dont have access to any odorless mineral spirits. i am using the winsor and newton artists white spirits and its very nauseating.
Have you ever heard of Zest-It? It's a citrus based solvent that is non-toxic and non- flammable, meaning it can be ordered online and shipped by plane unlike regular paint thinners and mineral spirits. They even have a coloured pencil specific formulation of it caled Zest-It pencil blend. It does have a very slight smell but nowhere near as bad as white spirits. They also make a citrus free formulation that is stronger (maybe a bit too strong), dries more quickly and is also very low odor. You could order it from here if you want: www.jacksonsart.com/zest-it-pencil-blend-250mlk www.jacksonsart.com/zest-it-pencil-blend-citrus-free-125ml
How did it go? I'm really missing you, at least watching back your old videos helps a bit. I wish you al the best wishes in the world, take it easy and focus on getting healthy. I could wait months if that means you'll get better sooner ;)
Because of taking care of my wound after surgery I'm washing my hands constantly so the nail polish won't stick more than a few hours. Until I'm all healed up nail polish is a waste of time :(
Hi Lachri Fine Art, I am not able to pay for the polychromo pencils, but what about these pencils do you think they are artist grade? SUDEE STILE Colored Pencils 150 Unique Colors (No Duplicates) Art Drawing Colored Pencils Set with Case. I saw them on AMAZON, and it is $95 off the price. Woohoo. Just wondered if they are good enough.
Great painting. would much prefer that you put your reference photo in the window next to what you are painting instead of painting against your own finished painting though.
Sometimes she can't because of copyright issues. She purchased this image to use but that may not include using it in a video. It would be nice to see though.
I confuse flamingoes with peacocks too I mean I know that they are compleatly diferent birds but I can never look at one and say the right name without thinking about it for a second

I really enjoyed this one and you were right, it made a huge difference when you put that highlight down the neck. A really useful tip.
Really like how you included the finished photo so I can see why you're choosing the colours that you've choosen. Beautiful work, as always/
Great video Lisa! 😁
I love your tutorials 💕 they are different than the other artists tutorials.
Thanks for the awesome tutorial. love your artwork and looking forward in learning from your tutorials. I'm a new artist and coming from been a Motion Graphics Designer for 20 years.

Also your new hair looks great :) very summery.
Lachri loves painting exotic birds. And fish. And orcas. And tigers. And roses. And circles.
The Audacity Animations and butterflies.
And leopards! :P
and bubbles! oh and owls
First of all, great job on the painting - I really appreciate your style and tutorials! Secondly, wow, I totally get why people varnish now - it really adds a little umpf to the painting. Thanks for showing that step!
G'Day Lisa, enjoy watching your videos, good to see you're on the mend. Have learned a lot from you.
Thanks :)
Lisa, do you need to prime ur canvass before painting if yes why and which one is a good affordable primer? PLEASE ANSWER THIS!!!!!
Hi Lisa! So happy your back. Missed your videos. When you film, is it literally time lapse or fast forward motion? There is def a difference. I love the flow
excellent video lisa! appreciate the tutorial
Thanks :D

I love your art, your videos, your hair, you haha. Thanks again, Lisa!
lol thanks :)
Gorgeous!!
Really great flamin-- I mean peacock!
lol thanks

Oh don't use these products for oil paintings!! For that watch this video :) ruclips.net/video/AU6-9y_42rM/видео.html
Lachri Fine Art Oh. Thank you very much. ☺
Another great piece, Lisa. Question regarding your airbrush equipment: Does your compressor have a reserve tank, or does it run continuously while you airbrush? In a previous video you mentioned the brand of machine you use, but I was wondering about function and noise level. Thank you for all the help you provide!
Mine has a foot pedal thing that I just step on when I want to use it. The noise is less than a hair dryer. :)
Thanks! That sounds like the type I need to find. I have a larger, all-purpose compressor, but it wakes up the neighborhood when I run it. :(
awesome! i was just wondering how to varnish just a few hours ago. perfect!
I know! I was reading your mind :P
what do you recommend for landscapes in terms of varnishes? matte, satin, or gloss? I would really appreciate any sort of advice. thank you!
It's really a personal preference. I've always liked gloss for everything, but I know other artists who hate gloss, it's a personal choice :)
Lachri Fine Art well, alright. my case isn't urgent so I might just test it on one of those 2.5 x 3.5 inch canvases that are super tiny. fun project & a good way to see which one I prefer! thank you for the response :^)
I am an artist who started painting and drawing at age 4 and attended art schools but I stopped painting as I grew older and am now trying to get back to painting....I fear that I have forgotten everything. What so u suggest to get back into painting? Any book suggestions or lessons?
what an amazing artist you are :)
Have any tips on "important" points when painting anything?
Today i bought my first acrylic paints, what do u suggest to paint as a beginner? ☺️
A flower. It's forgiving if you get the shape wrong as you paint so you can just focus on the paint part and not worry as much about the shape :D
Lachri Fine Art thanks a lot, i will try that!
Beautiful!
Btw, how do I do this with prisms colour pencils, getting that amazing down to earth colours?
That is not something that can be answered in a simple comment :)
Lachri Fine Art oh wow...
I cheat t wo ways when I varnish my acrylic paintings. First, I use Patio Paint for when I paint my slate and other "things." They have a clear coat which I started using on my canvases as well. So far, so good! I also just pour it on my paintings.
Beautiful. ❤❤ gives me some inspiration. Best wishes, Lisa.
Thanks :D
+Lachri Fine Art You are very welcome, dear(:
How long do I let dry the painting before varnishing!??
I usually let it dry overnight or longer just to be safe :)
Lachri Fine Art I can even use varnish spray after the same drying time!?
Yep :)
Your videos are always so helpful! 😄
=D
hi, how DO you know what colors to use to "layer" if you don't see it in the original reference photo.?
rubberpicker I don't know if there's a more logical method of learning but for me it comes with learning colour theory, experimenting, making a mess through trial and error, and practice. Be bold with colour! :)

Bigelow Fine Arts thank you so much. but do you happen to know the name of the particular video?
Lachri Fine Art. ok.
Question, once you varnish a painting, can you go back over it with more paint if you decide something needs to be changed? :)
Thanks for sharing your tips with us!!!! :D
Nope, the varnish is the last thing you want to add to a painting. Some varnishes allow you to remove them if needed but this one does not.
Thank you! :D
In the future do you plan on increasing the lighting? It's really hard to see what you are painting. It's the same on your other videos. Is it the camera?
Great painting Lisa and so good to see that you are getting better now. I know what you mean about calling things by the wrong name I was doing a Giraffe, no Zebra I kept calling a Giraffe a few years back and I still get mixed up with the name on that painting lol
I do the same thing with giraffes and zebras! lol
Great minds think alike ;-)
Beautiful thank you.
Hi lisa, I am really struggling on how to find and get the outline of reference photos. I am using the 36 set of polychromos and derwent artists.
You will like next week's video then :)
Lachri Fine Art i am also struggling with blending cause i dont have access to any odorless mineral spirits. i am using the winsor and newton artists white spirits and its very nauseating.

Great question. I have that problem too, but didn't know others did
👍👍👍
Magical!
:D
It's always exciting to see you in my sub box, Lisa. Will you be doing the live streams again soon?
I hope so. I'm heading back to the Dr on Tuesday so I should know more then :)
How did it go? I'm really missing you, at least watching back your old videos helps a bit. I wish you al the best wishes in the world, take it easy and focus on getting healthy. I could wait months if that means you'll get better sooner ;)
this is the earliest I have ever been
And the latest I've been uploading :P
Very beautiful painting Lisa. /nice hair too, but what's happened to the nailart? ;)
Because of taking care of my wound after surgery I'm washing my hands constantly so the nail polish won't stick more than a few hours. Until I'm all healed up nail polish is a waste of time :(
Awww, sorry Lisa, i ha no idea. I apologize.
I want Colours details when draw
😮👌

Witchcraft!
Very great job. But ur dialogue very fast. So u talk slow and conversation word's display under the video. Superb superooo... Super ur drawing I like
