Hey! Want to take your art to the next LEVEL? I make videos sharing vital painting techniques.
I'm Andrew and welcome to my channel! I just love to paint and I've been a professional artist for nearly 20 years. Teaching is my passion; after a thriving career I've decided to give back and share what I have picked up on this journey. Here on UA-cam I share techniques used by the old masters, across a wide range of subjects. We will also dive into the materials used in painting, and how to wield them with mastery! I will even feature content specifically designed to help you with your art career, with Q+A videos.
If that sounds like you, then you should SUBSCRIBE and join me on a fulfilling journey of creativity and discovery.
Me: Alright he's done!! masterpiece!!! bravo!!
artist: "Now that the ground work is done, it's time to bring this painting to life"
right.. great work!
Haha ikr! Ground was well done!
lol
lol
Great sir i love thi painting
"I've designed these two paintings so that they could hang together, and the composition hinges upon the table where they used to sit and spend time together". This just killed me. :'(
Yup...
Made me cry too. I lost my father and the feeling is still so raw. Now everything makes me cry, even people I don’t know, like this video. But south a nice touch.
You too?
I love how you talk in detail about this, it’s very helpful but have to say we have watched this on silent too at bedtime and it works for that too.
I love elderly people. I love people wit stories. I love people who’s life was full of love and giving.
Museum quality. Outstanding. I've only seen this quality from seeing the masters work in a museum in San fran. You could see the veins under the skin. Keep up the Exellent work. We need new masters.
Andrew, When you placed Oma and Harry's portrait next to each other I felt as though I was at their table having tea. I am so amazed at how truly life like a portrait can be. You make the process so graceful.
Agreed
Wow what a painting. Just WoW
Every wrinkle is earned in this life ❤ this is one of the rare cases where you feel more in the painting than you do with the photograph. She radiates warmth, joy and she looks regal. Absolutely fantastic
The fact that you don’t outline with pencil or anything is pure talent ❤️
ikr
He is certainly very skilled but to be honest I find it easier! Pencils make small, specific lines, which is the opposite of how you want to start a painting like this, and if he were to sketch everything out first he'd have to paint over it all again.
@@bunnie187 that’s very true as well🤭❤️
@@kasidi002 I am a 78 year old man who discovered painting. To pass the time during the quarantine,do a lot of the same principals apply when using acrylics?Im rather impatient and like the quicker drying time.Love your talent,look forward to seeing more video,thanks
@@johncorley3487 Hello, I just thought you’d want to know that you send this message to someone who commented on this video, and not the one who made it, acrylic painting is harder to blend but as you know dries quickly, whereas oil doesn’t (therefore is easier to blend). The outline and blocking principle does apply to acrylic, although a big reason people do it with oil paint is because the blocking and outline can be manipulated after you’ve done it, so the answer is yes but drawing an outline may be easier for acrylic.
How on earth can eleven people give this brilliant work a thumbs down ?
David Timms They are probably burning with jealousy 😂
David Timms maybe they didn't watch the whole video, and quit in the ugly blocking in stage. Their loss.
gayland barney some people must not realize that most classical fine art was portrait art. Sigh
gayland barney And some other folks think that elitists dictating what is it isn’t art and what is or it isn’t “dead” despite an outpouring of public emotion and appreciation surrounding that art is completely ridiculous and rather ironic
And as others have pointed out, most people don't have time or can't afford sitting for an artist, photos make that easier for everyone. I like Tischler's approach to this problem, when he can he does a quick study to capture the sitters 'personality', and takes his own photos to uses later to help with the details for the final painting. Its a win win for the artist and the sitter.
2:03 - Already far better than my best finished paintings.
3:14 that's how far my talent would allow me to go. And I would consider it fotorealistic :D
Very nice sir
Lol! had the same though
Wow you guys suck haha
😂🤣😂🤣😂💖💛💖💖
Wow! A professional artist who feels inspired to paint people who aren’t considered celebrities, models or children without the motive of a commission!
Thank you for looking past the skin and capturing the soul of those with “smiling eyes” and touching those of us who seek real art.
Thank You Andrew Tischler I'm hugely impressed !!! I have painted many portraits , the elderly are more interesting to paint . I'm 84 yrs and have not painted for a while . I have undertaken to paint a lifesize portrait from a black and white photo , I have it well started on canvas , I knew the subject well before he died , but to apply the colours and detail correctly I need courage and inspiration .
Best portrait painting tutorial I've seen yet. Thanks Andrew.
I am beyond thankful that you decided to share your gift on UA-cam. Your technique is astonishing and your passion has me smiling by the end of the video. You are truly inspiring, thanks to you I am going to pick up my paints again today for the first time in months
I really love how you not only show us how you've done it but actually TELL us how you've done it so we can learn, love this vid, thank you
You are a master, and a generous soul to share your art with the world
14:34 "If you preserve your tonal best for last, then we can allow a nice crisp highlight to occupy the right space". Excellent description
Are u being sarcastic i actuallu dont know
Really appreciate your straight forward and enthusiastic description of your painting process. You did a great job of identifying the feeling of insecurity that occurs just after successfully blocking in the color and tamping down the anxiousness of jumping too fast into details. Very much appreciated!
was touched by the same grateful reaction. Sometimes I stall too long after hitting that feeling of insecurity, even knowing that the best is yet to come. Occasionally, i return a year or four later to finish it. And, THAT, is often entirely rewarding!
How wonderful to watch her emerge from your brushes thank you x
How pathetic is a person who gives thumbs down to this masterly work? Not to mention the generosity of this great artist by sharing this amazing lesson? This is the kind of master class for which you would pay to attend. Jealousy is sad. This work is excellent.
Amazing Andrew! I actually teared up at the end when you showed Oma & her late husband's portrait side by side. I can honestly say that's the first time I've ever been brought to tears from looking at paintings. Thank you for an amazing video and channel, looking forward to watching more.
Your work is breathtakingly stunning, and has inspired me to pick up my oil paints again after having spent so many weeks in college using acrylics. I love the photorealism and your blending is just WOW. Love your video tutorials, they are a big help. Thanks! :)
Oma certainly looks so kind and seems full of wisdom. You captured this person beautifully.
I have a BFA degree , but as usual, there was little instruction of how to paint and what brushes to use. It was all about individual creativity and expression and the endless class critiques. So happy to have found you. THANKS!
This tutorial is truly amazing. Her age brings way more detail than a young smooth skinned person. Your method is simply amazing and it shows that you have spent much time developing it.
As more of a beginner, I use methods of laying out my subject that I used while I was a sign painter and billboard artist. Many consider it cheating when using an overhead projector but that's what I have settled into, saving lots of time on the layouts.
One thing I didn't catch was if you paint wet on wet or do you let each layer dry.
Being older, (70) I can only work for an hour or so at a time before I get exhausted. It's the mental concentration that exhausts me the most.
Thank you so much for posting this. It is my opinion that portraits are the final frontier of learning to paint.
You are an incredible teacher! the way you explain each step and the whole process is simple flawless! I am also amazed of your smart approach on painting because you nail it at creating a concept and climax on every work of art. Congrats!
this is the most helpful painting video ive ever seen. thank you so much my friend
Andrew, I come back to these videos again and again. There is always more for me to learn and admire. Just a remarkable effort. Beautiful painting
Love how you walk us through each step and assure us that we are on the right track. I worked hard to get over my block and anxiety because I didn't get results quick enough. It was hard to trust that I was going to get there in the end. Wish I had found this video when I was struggling with that!
Thank you for a really stunning portrait. Her character shines through, and one can almost reach out and touch her cheek and feel the warmth of her skin... I just love that gleam of humor in her eyes that you have so expertly captured. You are an amazing portrait artist. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Lindy, Glad you enjoyed it!
seeing the two portraits together brought tears to my eyes. beautiful masterful work! thank you for sharing.
Me to
Watching and listening to you gives a person a good sense of warmth inside. I love what your doing.
She is beautiful, you did a loving job on the both of them. Thank you so much for the support and lessons. You are a kind and warm soul.
Absolutely fantastic !
Your work is beautiful. I have painted for thirty five years and even now you have given me new ideas.
Definitely one of your most emotive pieces. It immediately made me think of my grandmother or (Ouma). The portrait touched me immensely. It is as if I have known the subject for a long time. Thank you for your great work.
As you painted your portrait of Alma. I mentioned to a friend that I had watched her husband's portrait painting as well. I'm always enthralled by your work and watch you everyday. Though I'm 70 yrs.old I'm still learning from you. You're just a very talented young man. I'm Rosi from merced California. Thank you for sharing such lovely work with the world.
Getting in those finer details, is like a delicate surgical procedure... I LOVE that kind of stuff!
Absolutely beautiful... a really touching portrait, Thank you x
Is this you?
You did a fantastic job on her! She does have a lot of character and you've brought out such a gentle kindness in her portrait. Well done!
You're my new favorite art teacher. Wow, so glad I found this!
Wonderful video! You are so generous sharing all your knowledge. Thank you!!
Songs from sevens dvorf
I can't draw a stick figure, so when I see someone do this, I feel like they have magical super powers. Amazing.
Same lol
I know this is old but i feel the same. I just cant comprehend how someone can see this in their mind, and then execute it in the painting so well. Its insane
Andrew you are doing a fantastic job of sharing your love of realism and encouraging artists who have similar styles. Thank you for sharing your gifts of art and teaching. You are top notch!
“...I do have faith in the process...”
That’s a great phrase!!!
I just started to paint portraits in oil and i just want to say how well explained your process . Thank you . Your work is incredible. You have inspired me. I can't wait to try some of your techniques.
Beautiful portraits that really bring out the beauty of these people.
The level of detail in all your videos, the description of brushes and the techniques for applying paint, is always much appreciated.
A beautiful experience watching this painting tutorial of "Oma" come to life on the canvas!
She looks as if she's dear kind, loving soul.
Thank you!
This was a fantastic demo! Beautifuly rendered and the composition being designed to work well when hung together was an excellent hesrt felt touch. I am sure the family must have loved these portraits.
Oil painting is really cool. I’d love to learn more and paint my mom and grandma.
To add life onto a blank canvas is a true talent and gift. I've watched many painting videos- and this is one of my favorites. A.T.'s portrait actually made me wish that I could meet Wies in person.
This was so moving. It brought me to tears at the end. You are a phenomenal teacher. Thank you.
Looks like I stumbled upon a gem of a channel I wish I discovered sooner. Excellent work, sir. I am very impressed.
sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow lost my account password. I would love any tips you can give me
@@jaidenleandro3297 have you tried to click "forgot password"?
I've done portraits before but never an old person which I'd really love to do. Love this portrait and your technique.
Agreed! What’s not to love about this portrait, this technique, and this generous and eloquent master? They’re either fat fingered and hit the wrong button or insanely jealous. No other explanation works. Thanks Andrew! Keep doing what you do and making our art journey much more joyful and wondrous!
She's gorgeous! and your work is so amazing and you always capture your subject in the most flattering honest way. Thank you for your tutorials although I don't paint in oils I find your instructions help further my art ability no matter the medium I choose . Be well Deb
“Do not focus too much on the detail” *zooms I’m in on infinite red and black stripes meticulously placed on the canvas”
I want a video on how he did those stripes in the shirt
You are a fine teacher! Each of your demos increases my understanding and I always learn new things. My portraits are getting better, but there is still a long way to go. Thank you!
Thanks Johanne! Great to hear! Yes, practice makes perfect, and remember, it's not a race!
I love how you tell us a story of your models! Oma’s a beautiful subject!
Your painting of her shows us your love for painting and your deep interest in Oma. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. I hope you continue this, it provides such a rich experience for us all. Especially me!😉
Absolutely incredible work. And touching to see them together at their table.
Another great video! I really enjoyed watching you bring Oma to life! Your technique is amazing and it look easy for you.
Thank you Dorothy!
I am into photography and was researching some photographic skills here on UA-cam when I came across this video. Absolutely amazing work! At a first quick glance these paintings look like photographs. The thumbs down comments have to be from some seriously over-critical people; just my opinion.
I could happily sit here all day and listen and watch you paint. I can't think of a word that gives your work and thought power justice so I will just leave it at that. Thank you so much for sharing your work and your painting philosophy.
You are as beautiful a person as is a finished canvas when it is called a masterpiece. Each part inside and outside that space intertwine and captures that which is truly sublime. You're no longer an artist, you are a masterpiece- a work of art. Thank You for sharing your valuable teachings and astonishing art, with which inspiration is immediate .
Your art is incredible and thank you so much for making this video, so helpful!
I feel I know these lovely people after watching this. Thank you.
Thank you Andrew for sharing in depth your methods and techniques. Much appreciated.

Absolutely stunning! I could only dream of this kind of talent!! Beautiful!!
The most beautiful drawing lesson I can see. Thank you
Gorgeous painting Andrew.!!! Thanks so much for sharing you talent, knowledge and techniques with us. Cheers from Chile, South America!!! I´m learning from you every day and I can´t tell you enough how much I enjoy your videos, you are an inspiration.
Hey Andrea! Thanks so much. Great to hear from you all the way from Chile! Would love to go there one day!
I´m sure you would Love our landscapes. Specially the south. It would be great you could come one day and visit our beautiful country. Thanks again for your videos
Andrew: your videos are incredibly immersive. It's like watching a documentary, but about something you can actually put into practice. Simply great. Saludos from Argentina.
Andrew....painting portraits, or drawing portraits is absolutely THE HARDEST to do, and damn man, you have it mastered and make it look so easy to do. Oma and Harry are AMAZING! You truly have brought out their individual characters in the paintings, I don't even know them, but can say that with the utmost confidence. Both paintings are beautiful!!!! I really love how you talked your way through painting, and talking about the techniques and colors your using. You truly brought this couple to life! This is the first time I've seen your work and channel, I will be watching more and have now subscribed. Damn incredible work my friend!!!!!
-Matt
This was so beautiful. Inspiring a person who just found the inner painter few months ago. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and art man
She looks a bit on my “Oma”.
I love your work Andrew, and you inspire a lot! Thank you for that, you are the best!!👏🏼Greetings from the Netherlands🤗
Thanks Andrew. Smoe great learning for me as not yet working with colour in any meaningful way.
Cheers Jeff, time to bust out those paints!
I live near a college well known for its art program. Been to many “arts venues” with gallery after gallery of abstract art and paint splattered on a canvas. Rarely do you see work like this, a true talent not all artists can obtain. Phenomenal work!
Dude! That is UNBELIEVABLE!!! I can't even take a photo that looks that good! WOW!
One of the best paintings I've seen in my life. Keep it up! New subscriber : )
Find his painting of the older gentleman with longish hair and also his bird paintings. All his work is stunning but those few
really knock me out
Wow, such a beautiful portrait! Oma is German for nanna. :-) - Btw, I believe, people who are demanding new post cannot really appreciate how much time goes into creating such beautiful and large pieces of art nor how much time it takes to edit and process it all. I'd rather see your content as you manage to finish it than nothing at all. In other words, thank you for your wonderful tutorials. And I am looking forward to your podcast with Cesar Santos!
Thank you so much Chrissie. I really appreciate your comments.
Its also Dutch. Alle grandmothers are called Oma in the Netherlands. :)
Hello neighbour! I was not aware of that! :-)
Chrissie Nicely ohhh Andrew and Cesar are two of my favorite artists!! Which podcast is this? You’ve made my day, Chrissie! Lol
Judging by the names, I think the "oma" in this case is Dutch.
Absolute magic!
Fantastic work and makes it look oh so easy! A great skill and thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creation of this oh so paintable lady.
I am so envious of your talent!! You've made a painting look just like a photograph! You've managed to capture the very 'essence' of Olma. Amazing job!!
Wow.... At first thought that this was a photograph.
You really did a masterpiece ;-);-);-)
Sir it's not awesome , it's so freaking great !!!
And thank you for sharing your skills much respect
What a BEAUTIFUL story at the end!! The portraits are absolutely stunning work.
Love that you love her character just as much as painting her! You are a gem!!! Thank you so much x
Thank you for this, but I think I speak for thousands of us when I say that we're REALLY eager for a video about your work on that enormous gorge landscape you recently finished!
Yes it's coming. It not only took ages to paint, but it's taking ages to edit!
Thank you, Andrew!
Extremely great teaching and skill. I enjoy every second of this video.
Dear Andrew ... I'm amazed. You play with perfection between your fingers. No one is painting in this style anymore. Respect! I haven't seen such a realistic painting since the classics until now. You're great. Bravissimo !!!!
Thank you for making realism understandable and tangible. I can now approach a portrait with confidence!! Your videos are greatly appreciated!
A ton of effort........you make it look effortless. Delicate, gentle brushwork to recreate a gentle, delicate subject. A very revealing look into your
process from beginning to end. Actually feel a little guilty getting free lessons like this. It's like going Vegas and watching an illusionist and then
he tells you how he did it, removing the mystery surrounding it. Tell me........do wear glasses at all when you work? Do you have any vision issues? Don't mean to get personal but, I've got a few and was wondering how you got around them if you did. As usual, great stuff and thanks.
Oh yeah, thanks for using my comment/question in this video.
Yeah, I have a stigmatism in my right eye, and it can give me headaches if I don't wear corrective glasses. I should wear them but I don't often!
Thanks so much for the comments. I really appreciate the feedback!
25 minutes, I'll skip through and watch it near the end....oh what, I watched the whole thing! Wonderful video. Inspiration is key. I don't even paint. I'm a physicist and mathematician. I don't have an art bone in my body but I could still appreciate the job.
You're demonstrations are brilliant! I absolutely love watching them.
stunning! what a fabulous teacher you are. making art so accessible and understandable to those of us who aren't 'arty' and fear getting bogged down in terminology and concepts.
Amazing wow I'm SHOOK !!! I really have so much respect for you guys who can draw/paint etc. I wish I was this talented. Watching tutorials like this makes me happy and also upset because I want to have that skill ugh lol.
Practice and practise and learn the basics like colour theory, anatomy of the body and etc and you can be good at art too.
tay melanin The best day to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The next best day is today. If you really want to develop a talent and wished you could do the same, it's really simple, but really hard to do. It means you have to confront yourself and actually do what you wish you could do. Self discipline is the biggest form of self-love and all you need to do is actually apply yourself, to whatever it is you want to do and you will eventually get there. So I hope this message finds you well and I hope you get to do whatever it is you wish to be able to do. But remember, You can do whatever it is, you want to do, as long as you do, whatever it is, you have got to do. Be blessed.
Lalaland thank you so much I really appreciate the kind message.
tay melanin You are more then welcome, I hope you will pick up whatever it is, you think you want to do. If you want to see some proof of progress and plain hard work. Just go watch this video, ua-cam.com/video/wBk4efNH7l8/v-deo.html you'll see what I mean. All it takes is putting in the effort, the difference between you and a master is that the master had a lot of time invested in practicing his/her art, whatever that may be. Have a magnificent day.
You just have to believe.i know you can if you try harder.
Thank you Andrew! These are so very helpful to me. Painting portraits are so challenging. My problem is I have the image in my head and if it does not come out the way I see it in my mind I get so discouraged. Watching you videos and hearing your explications really helps. I was going to ask what you do when or if this happens to you. ... Thank you again and look forward to your next video!
It happens every time! The painting in my head is perfect, the one on the easel always falls short. This creates the "gap" and this gets smaller the more you practice and take the time. It's a tough heartbreaking grind at times, but you'll notice the gap getting smaller as you progress. Truth is, I hope I never bridge it, because it keeps me reaching and striving.
You are incredible! Truly appreciate all of the explaining as you paint, as to color, tone, background, etc. Thanks!
Oma is gorgeous! Love watching you work...loved your portrait of Harry as well. I am primarily a pencil artist and have worked on many portraits (although I haven't done anything of consequence for about 40 years). With the recent deaths of my husband and Mum, I wanted to try painting their portraits... never painted in any medium before. I'm really pleased with the way my husband's came out and I'm currently working on my Mum's...I was happy with the blocking session, however, I've been struggling for days trying to get the lines on her beautiful face (she was 90 years old when she passed), some of it is good, some is almost cartoon-y. After watching this video I think I'll be able to get stuck in tomorrow and make some real progress, albeit with a lot of fixing up to do. Your work is magnificent and your teaching gives confidence. Thank you.
