    Tips for painting.....
    -relax
    -go with the flow
    -when blending two colours use a paint brush that has no paint on it and is smooth
    -do a quick practice before painting in canvas
    - plan before
    - scribble on a piece of paper to relax your hands before painting
    -plan out where the colours are going to go before painting
    - after painting dont fiddle to much with the painting
    - don’t use 1dark color against a light color if blending, do all the colors inbertween
    -have fun
    -be in a quiet space
    -focus !
    -Wet canvas SLIGHTLY before painting
    (Thank me later )

    Alright, so, I hate how my painting turned out but here's the thing.
    IT'S A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER THAN ANY OCEAN PAINTINGS I'VE DONE IN THE PAST!
    I'm talking HUGE improvement! I'm sure if I were looking directly at a reference photo, I'd have done better but it's still way better than anything I've done in the past. So thank you SO MUCH for helping me improve, Emily. You're wonderful and I wish you amazing things in your future.

    I used this to do my first ocean sunset painting, and I have to say that it came out much better than I thought it would(wish I could share photo). I thought the waves would be hard, but once I got going and shaded, it was easy.
    What helped the most was knowing it didn't have to be perfect, or look exactly like yours. My colors are darker.

    I just wanted to thank you. Thanks to you i started painting again. Im 21 and ever since i got out of high school i didnt know what to do with myself. What career path did i want? All my life all ive ever done was paint and draw, it was the only hobby that i enjoyed enough to continue for years. My sophomore year i stopped drawing because a person who i thought was my friend would always bash my art and call it trash or a piece of shit. I got so discouraged i quit drawing. I saw one of your painting videos and brought out my acrylics and paintbrushes. It was like for the first time in YEARS i knew what i wanted to do for the rest of my life. That same painting that was inspired from YOU was bought out at 30 dollars, it gave me hope and new pride. I am now starting my career as an artist thanks to you! Thank you!

    Давно наблюдаю Ваш канал, заметила, что за основу Вы берете всегда пейзажи. Видно, что Вы не только замечаете оттенки красок, но это вызывает в Вас эмоции и чувства, которыми Вы делитесь с другими. Благодаря этому многие имеют возможность увидеть такие замечательные пейзажи и вдохновится ими. Отдельное спасибо, за то, что Вы показываете краски, которыми пишите картины, я тоже очень люблю рисовать, такой подход мне во многом погает. Мне также нравится, что в видео всегда видны движения кисти, благодаря этому узнаю много нового и учюсь новым методам рисования. Как прекрасно, что чтобы создать такую красоту, не нужно ничего придумывать, всё уже было создано с любовью нашим Творцом, поэтому это очень радует глаз.
    Наверно не зря записано: «Он сделал всё прекрасным в нужное время... К этому нечего прибавить и от этого нечего отнять...» И действительно к такому разнообразию красоты нечего прибавить и нечего отнять. Что Вы об этом думаете?

    I wish I had stayed interested in but kind of put it aside for several years. I recently picked back up doing some art stuff focusing on acrylics. It is so relaxing and therapeutic especially for someone like me who has a mental disease and mental disorders. It's great for your days off to kind of wake yourself up in the morning do a little painting. It's nice to do it whenever you get a chance to but especially after work especially if you had a rough day. I wish I thought about this at the beginning of the pandemic would have been so much easier to cope with being inside so much.

    Oh wow this is so pretty nice job! You really....created this twice? That’s talent lol I’m ordering some new acrylics tn to keep me busy during this lockdown, my quick question is How/What did you do to clean the center of that plate you used as a palette? I noticed it was clean when you moved on, did you just use paper towel, or a rag or a wipe haha thank you!

    Hey everyone!I know no one’s gonna see this, but currently my hands are covered in paint and I am in the middle of this painting. Wowww did I think I completely messed this up, like I made every rookie art mistake ever (this is my first painting tutorial), not cleaning my brush, overmixing colors, etc… but this painting is save-able. Like insanely save-able. If you don’t like how it looks at the moment, come back in a few minutes and it’ll seem completely different! Good luck everyone who’s trying this, it’s a reallyyyyy good tutorial!

    Quite a helpful tutorial. I enjoyed watching every minute of it. Gradation is key to a flowing piece. Gently adding color upon color to provide lovely effects.

    Keep painting, even when it is painful. Keep going.

    This painting is so pretty! My family and I did an at-home paint night and followed your tutorial, it was a fun time.
    My only suggestion is to slow down the tutorials and explain a little more of why you’re applying certain techniques. I had to pause a lot (maybe this wasn’t intended as a follow along though). This felt more like a tutorial for people who already paint and are sharpening their skill, not for brand new painters.
    However still glad I chose your tutorial, the color scheme is really nice and the prep time was relatively simple! May practice this painting again til I achieve a realistic ocean look 💗
