As a former K-8th grade art teacher, I learned the value of enhancing the children’s artwork at our annual art show. It was always about presentation. I often “framed” their artwork by pasting it onto larger sized construction paper - sometimes double “framed.” People were always awestruck by the beauty and excitement of it all. It was considered one of the major events of the school year.
Kevin Hill, being a deep-seaman for most of my long life, I have been drawn to your seascapes without the beach or shore included. I used to watch wandering Albatrosses gliding over the rough long-low swells over the sea after my watch. At eighty-two, I need to be more creative in my retired life. So, decided to take up painting seascapes with stormy night scenes and full Moon-light with acrylics. You clearly have the expertise I need to learn with me starting a complete novice. So, I have subscribed to your channel on RUclips. John Eric Hoare.
Kevin Hill - you are truly the best. You are the first person to share the tips about soft to sharp. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this. I follow a lot of other youtube teachers and I have found that you offer the best teaching. Thanks again for being the best.
Painting has always been my hobby. But I never actually had the opportunity to take a professional lesson. I have learnt sooooo much from your videos. Glad to have found your channel. Thank you!
These tips seem great for all kinds of painting and coloring. The tip about starting broad and working down to detail makes most sense to me along with working in natural light. I am in the process of moving but I hope to try these tips soon.
I have problems with techniques with trees. I can do pines but other trees are challenging. Your such a talented painter. Hope I will grow to be as good as you. I love painting! It calms my anxiety and it makes people happy.
I've been painting like this many years but however I never fined tuned until I saw your video. You have helped it so many ways. Just wanted to say thank you
5 Tips from Kevin: *Frame yout artwork to showcase the best features *Move your easel closer to the window to capture better sunlight variations of colour *Use blue shop towels to blot excess oil grom painting *Start painting with a big brush for underpainting, then end with a small detail brush *Build depth in the underpainting
You're great! I took a break from painting for a few months and recently came back. You were the first place i looked. You too teach well and your talent is inspiring
You are an incredible artist and teacher I love watching you paint... Having said that your voice makes you easy to listen to!! Thanks for teaching us how to paint!!
@@VSShilpa , I put it off, too. All my friends are artists, and most are better than I. The table where I used to paint has been piled up for years and each time I walk past it, I realize my dream of painting again is becoming a nightmare. I also realized if I can't begin again at a time when I'm supposed to be staying home, I'm really not in good shape with no excuses. If I have creativity or talent, it is my responsibility to make use of it. I am cleaning off my table now, and something will get painted this week. I challenge you to do the same.
You so talented ,being 5 years I'm watching your videos and so incredible all followers are artist ❤ Please you can make video how can sell our artwork online or locally
two things I did when I started painting (which is only three months ago I think) was buy blue parasols for my south facing balcony instead of red ones, because it gets real sunny in my room and I didn't want to have red ambient light on the canvas; and a daylight table lamp for painting in the evening or at night. Very happy I did, too :) Thanks for the tips! I specially like the last one.
Hi! Thanks x your tips ... is the first time i saw you in you tube ... I studied Art x a few years when i was based in London ati the Chelsea College of Art and Design mostly NUDE LIFE drawing from models ...and x 1 -2 years painting as well ...Now why i m telling you this is becouse once back in Sardinia all my art work has been stolen from parents house ... and soon after i done some work but suddenly i ve stopped as i didn't wont to work x the robbers ... So this morning x me in this forced lockdown ...even x me has started years ago ... seen your painting and it reminded me a mix of nostalgic and bitterness in my spirit ...a suppressed talent ... an unsolved issues in my life ... that has not yet died ... Who knows if i ll eventually rejoice !
I've had my work stolen. You can either let them have what is on paper, or you can give them what is in your soul, and in your mind also. Don't give them more than they took from you. Your artwork is of value, but what you still have in your soul is priceless.
Wow. Thank you for your valuable advice. This video is just what I needed o watch. I'm going to look into those tags for picture frames you mentioned. Good idea!
Hi Kevin. I have always been a fan. Please make a video about how you prepare for a painting especially in using oil paints. Do you mix any medium? Or oils? Or spirits? I want to knowww because after I lay my background when i paint my trees the paint wont layer and the result in the canvass is an oily mess.
I can speak to the framing tip. Even if it is a very simple frame, and with the understanding that many times a buyer will ditch your frame in favor of one that is more to the buyer's preference, it is still important to demonstrate the "finishedness" of the work.

Your videos and advice are invaluable to me as a beginning painter. I just sold my first painting!
