I always wanted to be a painter or artist but my family wants me to be a doctor. It's very stressful studying to get into college and I don't have time to paint, but just watch your video made me relax and feel calm, you teach very well. I hope to paint at least 1/100 of what you paint when I graduate and have time for a hobby. Congratulations, you're a great artist (and very handsome).
I did this painting twice, the first time just like the video, and the second time I substituted green for the back drop and a red apple instead of yellow. Your knowledge and excellent videos are greatly appreciated. Thanks Will.
This is without a doubt a wonderful tutorial for a beginner. I love that you detail the brushes when and where you change them. The camerawork is excellent. We can see exactly what you're doing, when you turn brushes, how you apply them. Thanks from a very very beginning painter.
I've sketched for most of my life but just recently started painting with acrylics. Your tutorials are the best I've found. The toned ground technique is especially key to getting good results. So far, I've painted the Apple, the pitcher and the cherry and they turned out pretty well. I'm learning how to mix colors and create form. It's a lot of fun!
As someone who has never been any good at any form of visual art, it amazes me to watch people pain or draw. You guys can think of something, picture it in your head, then MAKE IT! It's absolutely mind-blowing. I hope that I'll be able to do something like this some day. I'm an author and want to design the covers to my books, so I'm following several series like this to learn different techniques for getting the idea for my covers into a physical form.
Isn't it great that these videos don't just disappear in time! I've been taking painting classes for several years at a local senior center and for the life of me, my shadows look like big black balls and I couldn't understand why the table should be lighter regardless of the explanations from my teacher. This was so clear and easy to figure out the whys and wherefores of what you were doing - by watching you do it. I loved watching the color choices and blending process as well. Very instructive. Thank you. This was very helpful. I'll keep watching.
Mr. Kemp, this was the first painting video I fully viewed (multiple times lol) when I first felt a draw (no pun intended) to creating art/images with acrylic paint. I had been drawing my whole life, but had no experience with any brush applied medium. 10+ years later, I am still painting. Im not famous (lol obviously lol), Im not wealthy, I dont even sell paintings, I only create for personal satisfaction. My point is simple, ur initial guidance fueled that spark & sent me down a path that gave me so much more than material wealth or recognition, u gave me joy. Thank u & wishing u all the best!!!
Such an ‘ordinary’ item: “the humble apple” (through the eye of an artist - nothing ordinary at all) and you have made it special - and that’s a gift. Great tutorial, Will. Thanks. So beautiful ... I love it.
Absolutely amazing process. I've been trying to teach myself by trial and error for a couple of decades. Should have tuned in a long time ago! What a great service to make this available to the public. BIG Thanks!
Thanks for explaining the color choices throughout the process. I've only been a graphite and charcoal artist, but was craving to work in color. It is a whole new world for sure, but I am loving it despite being confused most of the time! These tutorials are really helpful!
I've only recently started painting again after a (really) long hiatus & I'm learning more from your videos that 4 years at Uni. Thank you Will, these are great. I have them on "autoplay" in the background as well as watching them directly. Lovely stuff.
Thank you for making this. I haven’t painted in 15 years and was nervous to pick up a brush. This was the perfect way. Really appreciate the video and for helping me get back to painting. I’ll be continuing to watch your videos! Thanks will!!!
Hey! Thanks for your free tutorials, the way you explains the process makes it very easy to understand. I love the way you use colors and shadows. I have learn a lot from this videos, thanks!
Hi Will! Thank you so much for the comprehensive tutorial! I'm just getting back into painting and used this to practice with my god daughter. We had so much fun. Wish I could send you a picture or our process. What makes your video so great is I could see how you mixed paint, applied it, brush technique. All of that detail goes a really long way! Gonna need to find a way to support you after I type this because this video was immensely helpful. Cheers!
I so enjoyed this video. I copied what you were doing and am just thrilled with how my apple and shading turned out. It's nowhere near as professional as yours, but much better than I could have possibly done w/o this video. And now to do it again as to get more practice and confidence. Thanks!!
I'm stuck because I've been trying to take up oil painting for the past months but finding it quite challenging. This video made me want to go back to acrylics and keep the oils for another time! Thank you!
You have to be one of the best youtube art teachers out there! So many of our online A Level & Foundation diploma students studying from home benefit from your tutorials, thank you:)
here is how to speed up your learning of light. Just watch. Just observe every light curve. Every line, every shade. Just sit and watch and study and paint when you feel you understand. This is one of our great gifts of the mind; To see before hand. And it works for almost everyone almost all the time :)
This is great I never finished my highschool however I focused on art when I went. I missed out on classes going more in depth with shadows and perspective. This is fantastic thank you!!!
Its so great to see Will paint, I remember him walking into my gallery as a kid. He seemed eager to learn and I taught him everything I knew, and just look where he is today! ;):P;):P
Such a helpful demonstration to help demystify painting depth. This has been a difficult technique for me to grasp. Many thanks. I will continue watching and maybe find a biscuit here in the US!
Wow! I watched this video a couple of years ago when I first started getting interested in painting and I was kinda lost and couldn't follow it - ended up realizing I needed to brush up on my drawing skills anyway and did that for a couple years... I ended up finding your website kinda by accident last week and ordered your Absolute Beginners Acrylic course - I did one video from it and ended up ordering nearly all your other courses right afterward - it was perfect! Tonight, I finished the last video in the Beginners course and I'm very happy with what I learned. I didn't know how to handle my paints or keep them from drying out and I have quit every other painting tutorial I've tried to follow out of frustration - especially since the ones I tried at first had me trying to paint very specific objects like rocks or trees by watching the instructor paint a rock or a tree with no photo reference for myself. Your courses are really well organized and it's the perfect combination of art theory and ease of use. I love being able to paint along and look at the same photo you have to work from. I'm very please so far and I can't wait to follow along with this video now after all these years now that I'm much more comfortable handling the paint. Thanks WIll!
Hey Luci, happy new year! so nice to hear from you and thanks for your lovely comment. So pleased that you enjoyed the course and found the lessons easy to follow and work along from. Cheers, Will
Hey Will, thanks so much for all your videos! I'm just getting into acrylic painting as a hobby and your videos are extremely helpful and I've learned a lot!
Yay I need this I’m going through a rough patch and painting or doing anything with my hands really helps me get my mind centered and focused! Thank you definitely going to do this! 🤗
Thank you for this, I had missed my art class because I was feeling sick so I didn't know how to use my acrylics yet. This helped me with the background coloring they were doing that day :D
Thank you for a great lesson. I tried following your tutorial, with so many thick layers of paint it felt more like oil painting not acrylics, but without the mess, the smells , and the long time needed for drying ! Thanks a lot.
Hello Will. This video is very well done! Your voice is pleasing to the ear, also i like it that you leave much space between your talk, as well as the choice of the background music. A real pleasure to watch clips like these. Cheers!
I am just learning to use acrylic, coming from an oil painting background. I did not realize you could use such a washy consistency of the paint. I was under the impression it made for a weak surface or weakened the paint surface. Thought you had to use glazes and such. I am learning so much watching your videos. Thank you.
As long as you're working on an absorbent surface the paint will adhere well, this is from Sarah Sands, Technical Services Supervisor from Golden Paints: "The cautions against thinning acrylics beyond 30% (or some similar figure) is common to run across and is something we often find ourselves having to correct, at least in regards to our own paints. We cannot, of course, comment about other manufacturers’ products, where performance can differ. So the following is really only about our brand and is not a blanket statement.The first thing to note is that our Fluids and Heavy Body acrylics can easily be thinned up to one part paint to one part water, or a 1:1 ratio, and maintain excellent adhesion onto absorbent surfaces. In fact, even when testing this on a non-absorbent material like Plexiglas, the paints still formed good films with no adhesion failures after being allowed to fully cure. To add even a little more comfort beyond that, we can share that the adhesion onto Plexiglas remained solid even when thinning with one part paint to two parts water, or a 1:2 ratio. Which would feel like a fairly fluid wash for most people.' You can read more about the absorbency of your paint surface here: willkempartschool.com/getting-started-how-to-choose-what-to-paint-on/ Hope this helps, Will
OMG!!! Where have you been? I have been doing all these other tutorials that each have such different info I can't decide what is the correct way or not. Then I find YOU!! I am going to LOVE learning from you!! THANK YOU!! So much!!!
Wow like this is so helpful to making my painting skills better thank you for making these its videos like this that really make the difference to helping me understand what to do and how to blend properly.
Wow, I really like this technique, it's exactly how I like to paint... Sometimes it gets out of control though and my OCD can't accept the non-covered part of the painting... :D
Absolutely wonderful-- Will, you are friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and talented! I thoroughly enjoy your videos. A big thanks from this Canadian amateur! :)
Very nice painting! I like your comprehensiveness in explanations, so thank you very much for uploading all your videos and helping others to learn! Keep it up!
at 3:33 when you show the water I was like how is that water defying gravity. I then realized you are not painting on a table but the canvases are placed on a stand. :)
So simply explained and shown!!! Beautiful tutorial!! Really empowering!!iam an absolute beginner, never painted in my life, but now gonna give a try!!
Fantastic video. Informative, well filmed and everything explained. Thanks you so much. Have only tried painting with acrylics a couple of times but you make me want to do more. Thanks again ❤
I love it. Very simple yet precise. Good video close ups. How do you keep the heavy body paints from drying before you're finished blending on the palette and on the canvas?? I'm a real newbie!
This is a great instructional video. Your teaching and instructions are so helpful. I learned a great deal watching this. Very instructive and inspirational. I was struggling to make my paintings look more three-dimensional and this has helped. Thank you!
It looks so simple and amazing! I would love to do it as you. Thank you for these videos, I really appreciate it, just hope I´ll find enough courage to start. :)
Amazing how it all comes together. I imagine if I tried it, my apple might look more like a giant smudge of...well...smudge. But thank you very much for the tips. Practice, practice, practice is what I keep telling myself.
Hey Will! Thanks a lot for putting these free videos, they really come in handy... but I am planning on getting your online courses next month! Im really excited about it! :) Again, thank you. :)
Great valuable lesson, i'm a beginner to paint and this is so relaxful. I just want to understand better the color/theory and the medium for painting: acrylic, gouache, oil... I don't know what to pick.
I'm 73 now and it is 7:15 AM, You have warmed up my day with your helpful guidance. Don.
So pleased you enjoyed it Don.
I always wanted to be a painter or artist but my family wants me to be a doctor. It's very stressful studying to get into college and I don't have time to paint, but just watch your video made me relax and feel calm, you teach very well. I hope to paint at least 1/100 of what you paint when I graduate and have time for a hobby. Congratulations, you're a great artist (and very handsome).
Did u manage to become a doctor by now?
always chase your dreams not everybody else's. its your life and you choose how you want to live it!
I did this painting twice, the first time just like the video, and the second time I substituted green for the back drop and a red apple instead of yellow. Your knowledge and excellent videos are greatly appreciated. Thanks Will.
Thomas Pike Great to hear it Thomas, and nice that you've been adapting the techniques to your own works, good one.

Pleased you've been finding it relaxing Andrew.

This is without a doubt a wonderful tutorial for a beginner. I love that you detail the brushes when and where you change them. The camerawork is excellent. We can see exactly what you're doing, when you turn brushes, how you apply them. Thanks from a very very beginning painter.
Linda Lee Harper Thanks Linda, so pleased you found it helpful for your progress as a painter!

I've sketched for most of my life but just recently started painting with acrylics. Your tutorials are the best I've found. The toned ground technique is especially key to getting good results. So far, I've painted the Apple, the pitcher and the cherry and they turned out pretty well. I'm learning how to mix colors and create form. It's a lot of fun!

Amazing how it all comes together. I imagine if I tried it, my apple might look more like a giant smudge of...well...smudge. But thank you very much for the tips. Practice, practice, practice is what I keep telling myself.

Great valuable lesson, i'm a beginner to paint and this is so relaxful. I just want to understand better the color/theory and the medium for painting: acrylic, gouache, oil... I don't know what to pick.
I finished the apple! I had a great time painting this and happy with the results.
+Julie Bishop Good one Julie, really pleased you enjoyed the lesson.
