I've been following many of the one stroke teachers. And by far, you are the best teacher I've come across. You take your time, showing step by step how to make the strokes you are teaching. In addition, you mention: the type of paint, the colors, the name and number of the brushes being used. All these things help tremendously. Thank you!
I have a cousin that's a professional artist, and I've been painting ever since I was 10. I've gotta tell you, that's the best way of painting a rose I've ever seen.
Watching this was an experience. I was awed the entire time... I've never been to art school or even taken an art class but I just really wish I could be as talented as you are someday...practice makes perfect, right?
Rodina Abdelkader Thank you for watching, Yes, it does get easier the more you practice. I don't think I have talent but have practiced enough to make it look easy. You can do it too. Thank again.
The medium will help the paint glide easier on the surface. If you are painting on a surface that is slick and non porous, then you don't need the medium.
April Numamoto I think your volume is fine. If I needed it louder, I could always turn up the sound on my computer. I enjoy the nice soothing volume of your voice; especially late at night when the last thing I need is loud, rapid speech or zippy music. I am watching at that time to relax and enjoy as well as to learn.
I have a question, if I paint a nice coat of acrylic all over my surface (such as cardboard or watercolor paper) would it be possible to paint with this technique without using the medium? I can't find in in any store in my country
I'm just starting to paint and watching these kinds of amazingly helpful videos really makes it all a lot easier on the psyche. Thank you, I love your work :)
I absolutely love your videos. I am a beginner as far as acrylic paint is concerned, and my favorite thing to paint is flowers, but I could not for the life of me figure out how to do a rose for the longest time. Your videos are the ones that finally helped me to achieve what I had been working for. I love how detailed oriented you are and how you explain every minute facet of what you’re doing. It really helps with the learning process. Thank you for your mentorship to all painters out there!
Thank you Elizabeth for your kind words. I'm glad the videos are helpful. The more you practice, the easier it becomes. Thank you again for watching. Happy New Year!
Love love love your tutorials, April! Wow you have a God given gift for painting, & teaching. Please pleeeeeaaaasssse show us some more! Sending love & light your way.🌹🎨😊
M(r)s. April, your videos are wonderful! I am primarily a digital painter with photoshop, but I love taking breaks and going back to the traditional way of painting sometimes. I have been watching a lot of instructional videos- Bob Ross, Bill Alexander, and the other assortments on youtube to get inspired and lean new techniques. Your videos are very clear and concise. I had watched other one-stroke paintings and many of them never showed how they put the paint on the palette. thanks!
I love watching you paint April. I've been trying to learn one stroke from books & tutorials & YOU by far have been the most inspirational. You're easy & complete directions have given me hope that one day my brush too maybe swirling & flowing with the same ease. Thank you for your relaxed & informative style.
I used to paint one stroke roses pretty well three years ago, but can't paint now. You have really motivated me today to paint. Will try to paint again. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for sharing your skills April. I used to be a signwriter and recently have had to learn several painting styles quickly :( and you are helping me to learn the one stroke painting style with your very good teaching methods. Thanks again. Steve
Thank you for your message. I will try to do a video on different leaves. I have other other videos. I have one with "grapes using the dauber for Karen N." I show there one simple version of the grape leaf. Thank you!
Wow! Just amazing.... Your work is so incredible and beautiful and your teaching technique couldn't be better. And even your voice was very soothing! I am beyond impressed and I will work at perfecting my rose like yours is. Thank you so much for posting that video!
i did it and i have alots of the roses laying around my basement, I have to say, your way of painting makes it so much easier. i watched other videos of them painting it the hard way plus it took forever.
Fascinating to see how easy you can teach and explain every move you do to get such beautiful flowers! Excuse my English. I would love to tell you how much I'm pleased to learn with you.
Maravilloso tu trabajo muy facil de seguir y aprenderlo,muy clara tu explicacion aun sin saber ingles se te entiende de maravilla gracias por enseñar y compartir Saludos desde Patagonia Argentina Addy
You are absolutely amazing. I'm completely new to painting (I had given up trying years ago), but these videos really make me confident enough to keep practicing.
+Blow-Up Bunny Yes, don't give up. It will take some practice, but once you learn the strokes, they become very easy. This technique is all pressure and release. Thanks for watching.
This is so beautiful and you paint with such ease. Flowers are very hard for me to paint but I am determined to learn this method. Thank you for a lovely lesson, very soothing and relaxing!
i'm sure i'm gonna watch over n over your videos.. i really wanna learn... ur strokes and the way u paint are so amazing! and you're amazing painter.. i love it!
I'm sorry i didn't reply sooner. I must have missed this one. The technique called One Stroke painting, you don't have to be an artist or know how to draw. If you load the brush correctly with paint, the brush does the work. You can go to OneStroke.com to get more information. Try it! And I didn't major in art.
I have tried to follow Donna Dewberry but your explanations of loading, muddy, medium and chisle are much more clearer. I like your video. Now I am ready to try. She used those terms but really didn't explain what they meant. Thank you!
Yes, give it a try. Donna taught me every thing I know. She is amazing! If you ever decide you want to become a One Stroke Certified instructor, you can go to OneStroke.com for more information.
I do face painting and your videos have really helped me with my flowers!!! My customers love them! I've just recently started trying to paint on canvas (very different from skin). It's a little sad knowing that all of my paintings will get washed off. I'd like to have one last a little longer than a day.
The highlight on the 1st leaf is awesome, (to highlight a vein) try to do that on the background more (petals, branches, twigs etc...) while keeping the hue of the flowers. Perfect Job! Love the tech's.

Thankyou. Was on point of giving up. But now I'll try some more. You really teach. You understand we don't know what we doing. Haha❤
I have a cousin that's a professional artist, and I've been painting ever since I was 10. I've gotta tell you, that's the best way of painting a rose I've ever seen.
Thank you A.J.
You always explain so well plus no background music . Just beautiful

you make it look so easy and magical. I always wanted to learn how to paint a rose.
This technique is easy. Give it a try!

The medium will help the paint glide easier on the surface. If you are painting on a surface that is slick and non porous, then you don't need the medium.
***** Thank you for the suggestion. I will try to speak up a little. Thanks for watching.

Deirdre Powers speak how you want and yes thats what the volume is for. what a lovely painting
Deirdre Powers yes it's so relaxing I always watch her videos right before bed
I have a question, if I paint a nice coat of acrylic all over my surface (such as cardboard or watercolor paper) would it be possible to paint with this technique without using the medium? I can't find in in any store in my country
FINALLY! A full, clear, step-by-step video!

I like how you paint the leaves to appear like they are tucked under the rose.
Thank you for your thorough explanation.

Felt relaxation. Thank u so much.
I can't wait to try this I love your work! You make it seem a lot more easy to learn!
Great job! I love that you specify the brush sizes that is very helpful, thank you.
My only suggestion would be to do the BR thing and state your brush sizes and colors at the very beginning. Very educational, thank you.
Thank you so much Ms. April! I've learned a lot from your tutorial videos.
You are such a great teacher and do wonderful work. I would love for you to have more videos!
