I am.. haha ;) if people are interested you can find the escoda Perlas individually through plaza arts based in Nashville or they come in sets through Jackson’s (in) or fine art store (Rochester) :)
Beautiful stunning work. It was so cool to see it come together. I can’t see it without a drawing first. It’s cool to see it take form!
Jared Loves to Draw Ha ha! Thanks for watching, my friend! ... and for the brush... and for the Escoda info!
Jared Loves to Draw It was because of you I bought my new Escoda Travel brush lol.. I found the Sable one at Jerry's Artarama at a reasonable price. I love your channel as well as this one. It's pretty rad to see that my favorite artists watch each other. Blessings to you both.
ladyshadow79 awesome! Yea! The sable version is really great too. Brian actually sent me one of those to experiment with and it’s gorgeous.
Jared Loves to Draw I agree.. They are now may favorite brushes for home and travel.. Thank you so much for telling me about these RAD brushes!!! :-)
Well Brian! I think it’s beautiful!!! And I double appreciate showing when to dry. That helped me more than you know.
I’m a newbie with watercolor
I think this is a great painting ! I live in bear country and you have captured the spirit of this awesome thanks ferocious animals
Wow! Wow! Wow! Love this.
Ha, ha! You had me going with the dryer. That's hilarious! Nice painting. TFS.
purplemoonflower18 Ha, ha!! Isn’t that just the kind of a thing an art supply company would try to market?!
I just LOL when you came up with that W&N-hairdryer joke. But you may have inspired them to a new product. Anyway, nice job!
Another beautiful one. I really enjoy the way you work the cools and warms and then build the textures on top. More for me to try out.
I can only think that those who aren’t blown away must be world class wildlife artists and think highly of their skills, because I am blown away my your talent. I am going to try to emulate you! What a gift!
Thanks so much, Anita!
Very nice. I really liked; especially, your commentary. I almost bought the WN air dyer.. Lol... Thank you for your passionate work.
Kaream Williams The hairdryer makes all the difference! 😉
Really nice work! I always know I should be more adventurous with my colors to get more dimension or at the very least force myself to glaze more to fix things, but I never do. All those bright blues in the shadows really inspired me to get out of my comfort zone more. I think tomorrow I'm going to try to paint something with obnoxiously bright colors and then glaze over everything to tone it down, but my initial goal will be to make my eyes bleed from the saturation.
I love when art videos from amazing artists like you inspire me to actually act on the knowledge I have rather than ignore it and then wonder why my subjects are so flat. Thank you for sharing, you remind me of like the dad of watercoloring.
Simon Reese "The Dad of Watercoloring". Ha, ha, ha!!!!! I guess I'll take it. Now, Son, you make sure you hit those colors hard and I wanna see lots of eye-bleeding before dinner time. Hilarious. I hope your paintings go well! Thanks for watching!
What a great challenge idea. This bear is so beautiful. I love your style of painting. I saw your other videos, holy cow! Never stop painting. There is so much talent on RUclips.
I think you were overthinking the fur texture. It’s a beautiful painting. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Stephanie! I appreciate it. I guess we are all our own worst critics... :)
Brian Ashmore Studio so true
You had me googling winsor and newton hairdryer.
you almost got me with the hair dryer! LOL That was fun:)
Looks good to me B! For some reason, it has a bit of a Morton Solberg feel to it. Very very nice!
Draw Paint Repeat Thanks, Steve! I can see what you mean about Solberg. I have to be careful. Mike Casper is from my town and I don't want to be doing anything that could be construed as copying his style. Solberg, as well, now that I think about it. This one just kind of ended up that way. Ha, ha.
Naw, do your thing Brian and don't worry about it. The world is big enough for all of us. I love watching you paint though! I'm hoping for that kind of control one of these days!
Thanks, Steve! You are way too kind. I know you have control in spades! You're a tier (or ten) above and I'm grateful to get to learn from your work. 👍
30x30 what? Eagles or Freedom? Jokes aside your channel deserves more attention, you have really lovely work! Also your B(eagle) is adorable, I have a scen hound breed myself so I fancy it a lot
Love this sooo much. Just subscribed!
I just happened across your channel and love your style use of color and the Bear looks amazing. Great job and thank you for posting.
Just scored a special Windsor Newton hair dryer at Goodwill for $3.99 .. great looking bear also..
Gary Guss Good job! They are really hard to find but improve paintings ten-fold when you use them!! Probably the most important tool in a watercolor artist’s arsenal. 👍
Brian Ashmore Studio How do they compare to the Daniel Smith hairdryer which uses honey as a humectant?
About the same but the DS one attracts bears. 😳
Ugh! I just won an auction for one on eBay for $299 bucks. Boy, do I feel silly now!
You should feel silly!! They usually go for around $275. Ha! You must feel like such a sucker!!
Hi loved your painting . I may try more animals. Reminds me of the time my daughter and saw a mother Grizzly and her
cub while hiking in Yosemite in April. We were taken by surprise. The blond cub climbed over a bolder and peaked at
us. Then mom sauntered out and stared us down. about 50 feet away. We walked a fast as we could down the path
along the lake. no cell phones then!!
Donna Birney Yikes!! Living in Montana, we hear a lot of stories about running into bears but that sounds especially nerve-wracking. Thanks for commenting!
yikes is right. grizzlies are unpredictable
Hahaha!!! Too funny about the Winsor & Newton hair dryer!! Made me chuckle! Great painting by the way. :)
Laurie Bouck Thanks! Don't discount the importance of a specialty dryer for your paintings. 😂 Thanks for watching!
I agree!! Lol!! I use my trusty hair dryer on almost every painting! :D
Never give up your dreams... im sure the hand-model business is just waiting for you to enlist! Nice bear too :p
Casper Uldal Olsen Thank you! I won’t. Watch for me on the cover of Hands and Tools monthly. 😁👍
@@brianashmorestudio I've got a wonky left index finger too. Nothing as glamorous as playing football. I was just dancing and it was one of those songs where everyone was supposed to throw their arms up in the air. My finger must have hit someone else's just the right way. it healed funny, had to be re-broken in surgery. Bone saws and stuff. Still have a titanium screw through the knuckle. Still didn't heal right but better than the first time.
Awesome!
oh my I really thought W&N had a hair dryer for art. I mean, heat guns for art are available so why not a dryer? Love the way the bear turned out. I've got some photos of a Black bear and her little cub I came across while backpacking. Glad I looked up from the trail, they were right in front of me on the path. All I could think was that I needed to take photos. The other nine in my group were still resting behind me and around the bend. So it felt like I was alone in the wilderness with the bears. It was an awesome moment and the highlight of my entire trip.
Around here we have a restaurant chain called Black Bear Diner, and they've got large framed art of black bears and Grizzlies on the walls. When things reopen, I could go there to sketch one of their photos. (oh, might be copyrighted, huh?) Well, I'm not that good anyway. In the past I sketched on the back of their placemat the black bear logo and pawprint from their coffee mug and napkins
Thanks for watching! That sounds like a scary but once-in-a-lifetime situation!
great job even with the bum finger. I hear there is a market for sausage fingers for Grizzlies. Really looks great they can be tricky to paint. I have 3 more to paint . 2 babies together and one playing with a stick. Hope it goes well. The 30/30 challange has been great. I have been helped tremendously.
Stop you do what we all do. Don't go backkkkk. I ama bad one to preach
The challenge helped me a lot, as well. It's funny how painting every day does help things along. I do try to keep my sausage fingers away from Grizzlies. ha, ha.
Winsor & Newton hairdryer? I want one!!!!! They should start selling them. 😂 I wanted to subscribe for that joke but one can only subscribe once. 😄
Beautiful
As a beginner, it was particularly useful to see how much that red changed when you dried it in quicktime. Thanks :)
Great to hear!
Beautiful painting and great joke! I was quite indignant to hear about the dryer haha! Greetings from the Netherlands, Frouke
frouk fgb A special hair dryer would be going over the line! Ha, ha!
I just love watching process video! Great one! Thanks
Elga Benedicta Thank you for watching!
Beautiful! I enjoy your demos!!!
Arun Dabholkar Thanks so much, Arun!
You did it again!😊👏👏👏
Abigail Adebisi I did?! Where?!! 😳 😁 Thanks!!
Brian Ashmore Studio 😂
Great video 🙂
Looks so real !!!! Best regards , Guenter
Wegu Thanks, Guenter!! Not Batman, but... 😁
Nailed it !!
The more I watch your videos the more I giggle at your commentaries. I just about fell over when you mentioned your finger injury/why/ I just finished a recording of Elementary where the person they found dead was missing part of a digit and had an artificial one made with a thumb drive it. It was missing when they found the body. Oh well, at least you have all of yours so they wont put you on tv. Okay back to the bear and the brush, both are great. The bright red area made him look a little like he might have had a fight with the Elk but he won. Your tips while you paint are very helpful and we shouldn’t be so afraid to throw in more color like you do, it adds so much. I told a friend that I would give the challenge a week so I say done, where is my pencil. Well if I do more for the rest of the month I will be amazed, this is not fun. Art should be fun for a novice granny like me, we will let you pros continue on and we w i l l enjoy it all. Take care and I look forward to more videos, thank you.
Essie Tangle Thank you, Essie! Maybe I should get that finger replaced with a thumb drive. That could be useful. 🤔 Glad you enjoyed the video. Sorry to hear you stopped the challenge! It’s definitely a different way of approaching things and it’s teaching me a lot just this past week or so. We all have something to benefit from taking on challenges. Don’t give up!
Brian Ashmore Studio I didn’t give up I did what I said I would then stopped the torture. LOL I’m just having fun.
Ha ha. Got it.
Hey, hope youre doing ok these days. I noticed you stopped making videos. I dont know if you still check this channel, I hope you do! I just found this video and I love your sense of humour, especially when you were saying what you wanted in the picture and said “I wanted the bear in there” and started laughing at yourself. Too funny. I wish you still made videos. Whether you do or dont, Im still subscribing. Youre very talented
Awesome atmosphere as always ✨
Avisad Ray Thank you!!
That's class
Great job
Well done~!
