STEADY Your HAND! How To Use A Mahl Stick || Quick Art Tips
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Need to put in those delicate tiny details? Are you smudging your wet paintings? Are you having a difficult time calming your hand? Use a Mahl stick! The traditional painting & drawing aide to steady your hand for precision and control.
The origins of the Mahl stick go back to the German and Dutch artists of the mid 17th century. Mahl stick is derived from "Malstock" or "Maalstok," which translates to 'painter's stick.'
But the real reason you are reading this description is because you are wondering why did I have to make it into an old cable informercial. Okay...okay... I guess growing up in the 90's with all those late night informercials DID affect me. I really should have just gone to bed. Anyway, please don't try to order one. Just go down to your local hardware store and pick up a wooden dowel. You'll be glad you did.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

After seeing this, I have memories of the 1980's late night commercials. Thanks, well made.
Awesome! Those memories still are so haunting. Haha. Thanks for watching. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Omg those commercials. I remember the extended series of beeps that would accompany the commercials. (My dad punching his credit card information into our verrry high tech cordless landline phone) MJN, these videos!! 😂🎉 So fantastic!!!!
Brilliant! So many nuggets, the black and white screen fumbles, the blue screen LOL, pup appearance . . . Bravo! I want the 4 hr. VHS demo.
Haha! Thank you so much! I am so glad you liked it. Little Odie steals the show every time. And duh... so do I... a 4 hour mahl stick instructional video tape. Legendary! Get the VCR up and running. :)
Pure genius.... Love how you make learning so entertaining!
Awe... thank you, Shelley! You are the best! I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your kindness.
"Just grab, rest, and paint." 😂 This was early 80's advertising at it's finest, and I'm so here for it!
This was beautiful. Your channel is underrated, hope you post more in the future.
Wow! Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kindness. My newest video will be out in mid September. Right now RUclips is a part time gig... along with teaching and painting their needs to be more time in the day. Thank you again! Cheers!
Oh, my gosh. Brilliantly done. Hilarious. Good tips, too!
Awesome! Thank you! I am so glad you liked the video. It was a ton of fun to make. Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words. Cheers!
Your videos are so hilarious but also informative! Keep it up! 😂😂🎨🖌️
Thank you so much 😀 I am so glad you like them. I appreciate your support. Thanks for watching and for the kind comment.

Awesome! Hope you enjoy. Always good to hear from you.
these infomercial/psa style quick art tips are amazing
Awesome! So glad you like them! They were so much fun to make. I have more planned. Thank you for watching and for the super kind comment. Appreciate it.
Spot on!
Nice! Those silly infomercials still haunt my dreams. Haha. Thanks!
Omg I laughed so hard at this! I love it!!!
Wonderful!!!!! That made my day. I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the super kind comment. Cheers!
I also had The Lost Boys on VHS. Like this video, it is a masterpiece.
Awesome! I love that damn movie. The best soundtrack ever! Thank you so much for your kind words. I am humbled. I appreciate you watching and writing to me. Cheers!
I never know what’s being delivered in these videos, and this one? They’re so creative! I figured you must have run out of innovative ways to style info by now, but! I’d take any style of any video you’ve done, so bring on the show!
This video?
Literally tells you what’s being delivered!!! And it’s not being delivered!!! What the shiss. Mind blown 😂🤣😂🤣
You are the best. The absolute best. I WILL take that four hour video please and thank you. ::beep beep boop:: that’s me entering my credit card information into the phone. AI should be able to translate it from ‘80s to whatever year it is now.
The doll arms 😂💕😂💕💕💕
I thought I was the only person left that still had a vcr. You probably respectfully obtained it recently for creativity films. I, on the other hand, still have vhs tapes and why throw away the vcr? It’s very happy on its shelf in the garage, where all good little vcrs go in their old age.
(No kidding, same shelf area of the garage, I also have a skull who is probably a relative of Skully! ((Full disclosure, these garage shelves are actually my video creating props’ organizing area. But the vcr is still a hoarder holdover ;) )) My skeleton head doesn’t have a name, but she does have the top vertebrae of her spinal cord. And a brain. I got her for her brain ((I sure didn’t get her for her body, amirite? ::elbow elbow nudge nudge::)))
Do you accept video payments in punctuation creativity? Because ⬆️ bill paid 😊
Algorithm win. Thank you so much for the amazing video. ❤❤❤❤❤
Lol, awesome, just like cheesy shopping channel advert, but yours had good information in i was in fits of laughter😂
Very cool! Thank you so much. I am so glad you liked the video. I grew up on those darn infomercials, it had to be done. Thanks again.
Now in the "as seen on TV" section of your big box store.
Totally! The hardware store should be the second home for artists. Thanks for the support, Kevin. Appreciate you. Cheers!
Can you please make a video about safety while oil painting ? Please ?
You are a psychic! :) Safety video... It is done! It will be released in another few weeks. I have a very extensive safety section hovering around 15 mins as part of a larger 2-hour introduction to oil painting video. This video has taken me six months already to make. It is now in the final edit.
Thanks for watching! Happy painting!
Lol. The Facebook Oil painting group just talked about these too.
Nice! Perfect timing. Haha. Totally planned it. Thanks for watching and leaving a note.
I feel too clumsy and accident prone for this but I’ve never tried 🤔 I should go for it there’s no way I’m getting my deposit back anyways 😂
You broke it, you bought it! Haha! Thanks for watching and for the funny comment. Cheers!
Hahahaha this is brilliant.
AWESOME!!!! I am so glad you think so. Those older infomercials are still haunting. Haha. Thanks for the support. Happy 2025!
