Jonathan..fantastic painting. You are an inspiration for this 67 year old. Hope you put more out as I need a lot of help.

Wow! That one's beautiful!

[@JonathanSchlichterArtist]

Thanks so much!😀

[@tripledstickers]

Glad to see younger people getting into this. I've only done about 30 paintings and really like painting with just black and white paint. Nice painting.

[@JonathanSchlichterArtist]

That sounds really neat! Thanks!

I recently had the pleasure of viewing some of your works and was immediately impressed. I’m interested in purchasing a few of your pieces. Are they available for sale?

[@JonathanSchlichterArtist]

Thank you! I do sell canvas reprints at my website jonathanschlichterartist.com

[@argyle6674]

Nice work! What medium is that, oil or acrylic? Thanks.

[@JonathanSchlichterArtist]

Thanks! The trees were painted with acrylic!

[@argyle6674]

@@JonathanSchlichterArtist Thank you! Do you have an instructional video showing how you paint those trees?

[@JonathanSchlichterArtist]

So, I don't have any more videos on those trees, but I do have some on other types of trees on my RUclips. Sorry I took so long to respond...I just now saw this.

[@argyle6674]

Thank you

[@daniellitcherb6465]

Acrylics?

[@JonathanSchlichterArtist]

Yes!

[@daniellitcherb6465]

I see, thank you for sharing your art, that's superb 👌 ​@@JonathanSchlichterArtist

[@JonathanSchlichterArtist]

You’re welcome! 😀

[@David4Pozzo]

Very nice but please talk and describe what you are doing in order to be a real tutorial

[@JonathanSchlichterArtist]

Thanks for the feedback. I will keep that in mind for the future.

Your piece is beautiful- however the background is too light--
The mountains are a part of the scene- and here they’re very faint -- you can create Ariel perspective-- with having the background- in this case the mountains where viewers can see them-- using values- colors- juxtaposed- warm and cool hues- the mountains are beautiful the way you created them- however again way too faint-

[@JonathanSchlichterArtist]

Thanks for the feedback! You must be an artist also lol!

[@Milania717]

The title doesn’t fit the narrative- video- lol (

[@JonathanSchlichterArtist]

Sorry about that.

[@bethanydee1920]

He talked about how to place them and showed how he layers the paint colors. IMO that's enough.

[@JonathanSchlichterArtist]

Thanks!

[@Milania717]

The title doesn’t fit the title- what (secret)…. Your not even giving any narrative on what your doing-- lol
If your going to post with intent to (instruct- inform) then…. If your going to post just for viewers to watch- then find appropriate title-

[@JonathanSchlichterArtist]

I'll try. Thanks.
