Hi there folks! Thanks so much for the kind words and comments, and also for the discussion. I have seen from the comments below that some would like to see a tutorial on how to review a dud painting, how to fix mistakes, or even how to make paintings more successful. I am thinking of touching on that idea of having a more "consistent" studio practice and turning out 9 out of 10 paintings, with 1 failure (if any) as opposed to having only 1 in 4 successes. If this is a tutorial you'd like to see, or have any other suggestions, please reply to this comment, and thanks again. I love my Subscribers, they are the BEST!
Goodness! Some of the other hopefuls have already covered so many requests. Any of those would be great. I admit, that I am also curious about your earliest paintings. If you could throw one of those or an earlier failed painting in, I think it would give a boost to many people. I'm sure my best painting would pale in comparison to your worst.
That would be wonderful. I also really appreciate your design process. I think if I applied more of this process my ratio of duds to successes would also improve. I've always been a planner in life but in painting I think I get so impatient I want to just get into it. I often find I've strayed from my original concept, and the end result suffers. I need to be more patient. Thanks for posting these videos. Your presentation is engaging and incredibly informative and helpful for so many of us. I look forward to each new video! Thanks for helping us find our own voices through painting!
I often don’t have the time to enjoy watching someone paint in real time but your videos are short without sacrificing any of the detail. Inspirational stuff dude! Thanks
I went to formal art school, stopped, had a family and just starting my art up again. I've learned more from you in a few weeks than four years in art school! I appreciate you for the jump start!!
This is the video that made me hit 'Subscribe'!!......the idea that sketches and colour studies give you HINDSIGHT....what a revelation to me!. Like many I'd heard the notion that you should do sketches and colour studies before starting the 'real' painting but thinking they'd slow me down too much I'd jump in, do the 'real' painting then groan about how 'I should have done this or should have done that'.....what a difference in understanding a small statement can make. Thanks Andrew, great videos, great teaching style!
Bravo, tres liberating. "And all your future lies beneath your hat" - John Oldham. I too am just back from a week in Florence and Venice, the beauty nearly made me cry, definitely Europe's sitting room! I drowned in those Botticelli's, Caravaggio's Tintoretto's Canaletto's, not to mention Michel Angelo. You captured that Tuscan hill so beautifully, you are a true master. Really love the limited palette.
This advice is sound. I recently visited the east coast and took many photos from the car as we flew by. I probably took a thousand photos, knowing I would go over them when I returned home. Also, I’m comforted by photos shared on Google, Pinterest and Trip Advisor in case I need more reference.👩🏻🎨
Hope there is no misunderstanding about paintings that do not quite work. No one 'want's' to see failures but they happen. (Frequently in my case:-)) I comment that a good tutor (and Andrew is as good as I have seen) is willing to explain why it happens and more importantly pin point the real problem (s). We glibly refer to our work as 'junk' because it has an underlying problem. But can't fathom the reason why. This is why I suggested to Andrew a look at his not so good efforts and why they need adjusting!!!!!:-) To me it's small differences that assume vital importance but find difficulty in assessing what they are. Come in a real professional with the courage to get to the value of learning from our 'mistakes'. I'm betting Andrew is our man and the resulting video would be a huge success.
Hey buddy you've changed my life...n make oil colours handling so much easier for me...just coz of u m able to gain my confident back as an artist!!😎 U r sch a wonderful n positive person n above all u r an amazing mentor...m in art college but whatever I have learnt till now it's coz of u, my college teachers never give any demonstration, which is just not ryt...bt u r sch a savior!!😇 God bless u my mentor....have a great life ahead..plz always keep inspiring me n other artists! Looking forward for ur another precious video!☺️
As someone who has JUST started to take my art more serious and never had formal training...i have to say im happy amd grateful for your videos. I learn alot here. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am learning so much from watching younwork. Design, perspective, light direction. Thank you. I am 74 years old and a muddler, but my painting are loose and colourful. Getting better....
Great video, I used to do this same process with illustrating and got away from it when I moved to fine art/palette knife. This video is making my rethink the process.
Thank you. For me the hardest part of any painting has been getting started. I have lost count of the number of paintings I have abandoned because they have not been progressing in the way I would have hoped. You have shown me a structured approach that should just require a bit of application on my part.
Indeed..let's say that sometimes we tend to think of making art in a impulsive way by taking a brush, dipping it in color and go, and then we fail :( It really needs a more scientific approach.
More prep work helps this, in my experience. Create several thumbnail compositions, do a color study, spend more time on the initial pencil work, etc. Once you're satisfied with these, the familiarity you've achieved will help. I can promise this will help you in creating a better overall piece. Give it a shot, even if it doesn't help that will be more experience any way you look at it : )
I just found your channel a couple of days ago, and the stars must have aligned, because this video is precisely what I needed right now for my Roman landscape! Thank you :)
Thanks again Andrew as always a pleasure to watch your videos. What stood out for me, was that I needed to take more time to plan and do various drawings before I start painting. I tend to rush that part and then sometimes get stuck on the final painting.
Thanks Andrew for the guidance and inspiration. I definitely should spend more time on designing. I bought one of your DVD's and cannot be happier! I keep watching it as every time I learn something new. Highly recommended. Worth every penny :)
Thank you so much for your informative videos and for being so great at sharing all your years of hard work and information you have aquired. I am sure I am not the only one who appreciates it. Great work and keep it coming.
I could care less if you wear a hat, jewelry, glasses or wooden teeth. You are an amazing artist and fantastic teacher and I learn immensely from your videos. Art lovers everywhere should love and appreciate not only the art of our brothers and sisters, but the artists themselves!! We have so much to learn from each other! LOVE the videos, Andrew, you are one of my favorite artists!
Andrew you are an amazing artist but maybe more important you have a gift for sharing it and explaining how and why and what to do. Thank you for sharing with us. I recently got unlimited data because of you.
Thank you so much Andrew for sharing your work. I have your video "How to paint seascape" and I learn a lot. Thanks again and a great hug from Málaga (Spain)
Oh, I have a tip for you Andrew. You've given me much inspiration with your videos and finally I see something I can tip you on. When you're recording your sketching it looks like your camera is placed behind and above you since the cap is in the way. If it is, flip it and then reverse it in post. much better. Now for my daily requests to you, I know you've got many from me :) Today you're a professional painter but it would be very interesting if you showed your early work and speak about misstakes you made and how you learn to overcome them. I'm at that first stage where I Know many of my misstakes but still confused of why or how to correct them.
Hi MindGem! Okay yes, rookie mistake, but I didn't have the heart to go back and redo the drawing after I screwed up the take. I think a video on fixing mistakes and failed paintings is a must! I'm on it!
This is a great technique. I now approach my paintings the way you do ... it really helps in avoiding the blunders... I do watercolor though... hence the pre-plan becomes even more important.
Andrew, thanks so much for your videos. They have really helped me out keeping my sanity. I feel I have learned so much about the process. Regards from Seattle.
Yes please. Your sketches and preliminary paintings are so special too. You brought animals into this. Do you introducethem or people much? I like to in mine but not in detail and would like to see a few minutes dedicated tuition to help achieve realisticity and placing without overtaking the overall focus of the completed work. Thank you for your tutorials I find them great teaching aids .... I am self taught continuing.
This video is so helpful! I appreciate all the steps leading to the final painting. I need to work at this and I see how this will really help. Thank you for sharing‼️😊
Good to see your process, Andrew. Thanks for all your videos, they are very interesting and informative, I think you are a very good teacher as well as an excellent painter. Well done you.
Thanks Andrew, this is very good video i can learn much of how to starting design.I 'm sorry couldn't get all about the explanations not because of you but my English.Thank you for sharing this topic.
I'm going to have to try substituting cerulean blue for cobalt teal. I use my ultramarine sparingly in most cases but you love it. I'll have to see how that fares the next time I'm doing some plein air studies. Fantastic work, as always.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! You've inspired me to dig in and figure out how I want to approach my paintings. I have some inherent skill, but not enough putting the paintbrush to the canvas. With your insights, I feel a lot more comfortable. You are awesome!
Thanks for this, you walked through and explained this process in a far better way than I have ever seen it done before. A couple of things that also work for me, that fit into the steps as you laid them out. One, I like to do a few thumbnail NOTAN sketches when I am doing my composition thumbnails. Second, before I dive into a colour study, I find a much smaller posterized colour study, something I picked up doing plein air work to help out my palette choices, before the more elaborate colour study.
When I was doing plein air work, on boards that were 5x7 inches to 8x10 inches, the small poster colour study would be in the corner. Once I liked it, I would scrape it back, use the pigment for my greys, and dive in to the pochade. Now I just do it in a sketchbook or on a scrap, with a medium that dries fairly quickly, like alkyds, casein, oil pastels (tacky) or acrylic. It is simple,quick, and quite small.
Hi sir...you've got such an amazing art pieces. I would like to ask some techniques in presenting more the focal point of the painting towards the viewers. Thanks
I thought the pencil sketch was a wow and the colour study was as good as anything. Did you do a finished piece? It’s nice to see people with your skills talking about what they do to practice.
Hey Andrew this was extremely helpful, even for an abstract painter like myself! Having a plan is making my painting much more straightforward and enjoyable. Your commentary is very thorough. Subscribed. Love your work. Look forward to seeing more paintings and videos! Thanks
Ciao! ...io ti seguo dall'Italia ...grazie per condividere i tuoi preziosi segreti . Penso che tu sia un vero maestro d'arte. Unico sul canale. . se torni in Italia visita la mia città: Bologna: splendida città d'arte e cultura. Continua così!
Im in soo much awe by your pencil sketching even the rough and final work. You can upload videos on that as well :D few people have done landscape pencil sketch tutorials. I saw half of the video now, enjoy getting such insights. Will see the rest later
This felt like sitting on a stool next to you during a private lesson. Amazing video and also I think you were correct about teaching. I think you have a talent for that also. Thanks for sharing some of your skills and knowledge.

Andrew Tischler - Yes, please. I believe such a video lesson would prove most helpful. Thank you!
Goodness! Some of the other hopefuls have already covered so many requests. Any of those would be great. I admit, that I am also curious about your earliest paintings.

That sounds awesome! Would love to see that.
Yes plz

You are a complete school of art, exceptional skills of explaining and teaching techniques 👌

Not only you are a master painter but also a convincing speaker.
Bravo, tres liberating. "And all your future lies beneath your hat" - John Oldham.

Thanks Liz :) So that's not that bad then?
Would love to see that. I came upon your videos about a week ago and have been binge watching.
U should be a role model to all content creators. No click bait, high quality content,...
Cheers aye :)
This advice is sound. I recently visited the east coast and took many photos from the car as we flew by. I probably took a thousand photos, knowing I would go over them when I returned home. Also, I’m comforted by photos shared on Google, Pinterest and Trip Advisor in case I need more reference.👩🏻🎨

I'm never thought to do a color study like that but I certainly can see why now! Thanks

Cheers Micki!
Love the different textures you created..Beautiful results... Great tips on composition and shadowing

Watched it twice. Once to listen, once to see.
Thanks mate!
Enjoy your demos and have picked some really good ideas. I personally like the color study far more than all the detail in the larger work!
Thanks Andrew, I really enjoyed this tutorial. I paint with acrylics, but I still took a a lot away from this session. Happy painting.😀
😎🇦🇺🦘
Very informative, thanks for another wonderful video... I hope you visit the Caribbean soon...
Me too :)
These series are so helpful. It allows us to glance into professional mindsets when creating a piece of artwork. Thank you.
Lovely style , as an artist myself I found your videos very useful , many thanks for sharing !

Hi Andrew. That was a awesome video. Thank you for all info..
Looking forward to seeing more...
Thanks Andrew, I've learned a lot.
I'm going to have to try substituting cerulean blue for cobalt teal.

-Andrew uploads a video- YAAAAY!!
Awesome! Thank you................
thank you so much for all the information you give, very informative, really enjoy your videos , Frances - Ireland

Hey Andrew, a small colour thumbnail sounds cool! I might give that a try. :)
When I was doing plein air work, on boards that were 5x7 inches to 8x10 inches, the small poster colour study would be in the corner. Once I liked it, I would scrape it back, use the pigment for my greys, and dive in to the pochade. Now I just do it in a sketchbook or on a scrap, with a medium that dries fairly quickly, like alkyds, casein, oil pastels (tacky) or acrylic. It is simple,quick, and quite small.
Excellent idea. :)
Thank you for sharing your professional skills on RUclips, you are an amazing Artist. This instructional video sure helps me. Thank you.
FANTASTIC
I love your videos Andrew, so interesting, informative and inspiring!

Ciao! ...io ti seguo dall'Italia ...grazie per condividere i tuoi preziosi segreti .
Penso che tu sia un vero maestro d'arte.
Unico sul canale. .
se torni in Italia
visita la mia città: Bologna: splendida città d'arte e cultura.
Continua così!
Im in soo much awe by your pencil sketching even the rough and final work. You can upload videos on that as well :D few people have done landscape pencil sketch tutorials. I saw half of the video now, enjoy getting such insights. Will see the rest later
This felt like sitting on a stool next to you during a private lesson. Amazing video and also I think you were correct about teaching. I think you have a talent for that also. Thanks for sharing some of your skills and knowledge.
Thanks Wesley!
