Thank you so much for watching this tutorial! Let me know if you have any questions at all, I'm happy to answer them. If you're interested in learning to paint with me in a longer and more structured format, I am so happy to share that my first course, "Painting Flowers in Acrylic," is now available. Use code *UA-cam30* to take $30 off! The course is available here: courses.mariannevanderdussen.com/offers/sTGLNjHa/checkout *Don't forget to use the code, and happy painting!*
THIS! This is how I want to learn to paint! Just starting acrylics and watercolor as I turn 60. Art is so satisfying and feeds the soul. Thanks for giving me more tools with which to express myself.
This is probably the most helpful painting tutorial I've seen in a while. This video is super calming and nice to watch! I like how you document the painting process as well as giving us some tips to help us. A lot of painting tutorials I see are not very helpful, not fun to watch, or really just not good. But this video is nothing short of amazing. Your voice is extremely calming and nice to listen to. I love how you go out in nature and take pictures of your own! Its nice to see the beauty of Ontario through your paintings! I also love how you gave us some super helpful painting tips not commonly found in other painting tutorials. I especially like the color mixing tips, because I could really use some help with color mixing, Lol. I love your videos and I hope to see some more!
This comment has absolutely made my day!!! Thank you so so much for this amazing feedback, I’m so happy you enjoyed the video and found it useful!!! Northern Ontario is so beautiful, it’s such a treat to be able to share it with the world.
Thank you so much, Kendra!!! And YES! I am so excited to be planning my next courses for release this summer! They’ll be focused entirely on colour mixing for both acrylic and oil, followed by a course on oil painting landscapes! Eventually I hope to offer a full library of courses through my website…I can’t wait!!! ✨📚
This was recommended to me by surprise, and I was so glad-- I saved this tutorial immediately, and am now revisiting it several months later. I love how concise you are while communicating extremely important tips for beginners, thank you!
Oh yay!!! I'm so happy it was recommended to you and that you came back to it later!!! I loved filming and creating this one, I'm thrilled that you are enjoying it too. Happy painting!
Not goin to lie. At first glance I thought this was going to be a pretentious video but I was wrong. You explained everything so well and the painting is lovely! A like AND a follow! 😁
So beautiful! thank you for all the tips. I paint watercolours but I'm thinking about trying out acrylics, maybe this subject will be a good start. Thank you :)
Thank you for this amazing video. The picture you chosed looks hard to paint, but your explanations and the detailed "how-to-do"s are taking away the fear of trying and even make me want to go out, get photos and get started. Even your voice is motivating and nice to listen to. Thanks and greetings from Germany ❤
You have really created a very quality video, I subscribed just on the tip with the wet paper towel under baking sheet, then the video just got better, thank you for creating high value content. Great work.
Thank you so much!!! Limited palettes are so magical, they make everything come together. It helps that I have such beautiful landscapes a stone's throw from where I live!
Thank you for giving me courage to start painting again 😊🌸 your channel is one of the rare ones that is easy to follow along with and your narration helps a lot thank you!
Thank you Marianne, this video is the most useful tutorial video so far. As someone who starting to paint for leisure with almost 0 knowledge, you helped me figuring out with how to keep your palette wet and how to save the canvas (for practice). Before, I tried to paint in cold pressed paper without gesso and it was a real disaster 😂🤣 Also, I enjoy this video very much. I love the way you stroke your brush, your voice is so beautiful and your explanation is easy to understand ❤️ thank you.
How exciting for you to be starting your journey into painting!!! I am so here for it. Let me know if you have any questions and I hope you enjoy the process!!!
Thank you for your wonderful art my great teacher❤, i'm 17 years old, i painted four paintings and I have a special philosophy about art. In the future, i want to write a book about the philosophy of art, but I am busy writing my first philosophical book that deals with the philosophy of society. I think i am the youngest writer in Morocco🇲🇦
very professional presentation. Clear and accurate words, no nonsensical words like "I will go ahead and put the paper down..." Good pace and clear pronunciation. Logical step by step, no going forward and backward. well done. Thank you.
Amazing tutorial. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Both paintings turned out spectacularly. Your practice/sketchbook painting would be like a masterpiece to me, lol!
First time I've seen one of your videos. Well done, so user-friendly and calming. Watched the studio set up afterwards and just noticed the seascape is still on the top shelf. It's so striking, can't believe no-one has bought it.
I'm so happy you found me, and thank you so much for commenting! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it!!! Yes, that little painting of the wintry pier is still hanging out in my studio, but I'm sure he'll find the right home when it's time 😊 thank you for your kind words about it! I really appreciate it!
What a fantastic tutorial! So many great tips and it’s so relaxing to watch you paint. Love the music choice too, just enough to give atmosphere but not be overbearing. 10/10 for skill, composition and production. 🙌🏼
Oh my goodness you have just made my entire day!!! Thank you so much for this incredibly kind comment and for noticing the music…I really put a lot of time into selecting the tracks for this one, so I feel seen!!! 🥰
I like the cut of her painting jib ...but her voice sounds like that of a professional voice over actor ...it's freaking me out 🥴😁. Seriously though - nice studies
I am so happy you enjoyed the voiceover! I’ve been told I should look at it as a fallback career so it’s nice to know I have options if being an artist doesn’t pan out 😂 have a great day!
100% agreed. Feels like I’m watching a corporate training video. Kind of missing an authentic, human vibe. But the painting is no joke. I always paint my layers very differently, well maybe not *very* but differently all the same, so seeing it done this way is always interesting to me.
Beautiful art. This lovely video coupled with such informative material really clarified the whole process. Thank you. Also appreciating the free materials for download!
Oh I am so happy you enjoyed it and I'd love if you shared your final paintings with me if you give it a shot!!! I love seeing other artists interpret my photos!
Definitely!!! I'm working on a content strategy for 2025 since I'm moving into doing UA-cam and courses as my full time job, so I'm hoping to release a new painting tutorial once per month, in addition to talking head videos about techniques and resources!
@@MarianneVanderDussen awesome!! Can’t wait!!! My husband and I just started painting and your explanation for things and of course the end product so beautiful.
This is an absolutely fabulous video! Your instructions felt so understandable, I really think I can try this myself with some moderate success. It really reminded me of Bob Ross and his soothing tone when instructing. Thank you for posting and please make more of these lovely videos!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I really do hope you give it a try!!! I’m very inspired to make more of these videos, and comments like this are so motivating! Thank you!!
Also I love the way of describing the colors tone.. type of brushes that I need.. sketch notebook type.. really professional artist voice and gift.. hope to see more videos.❤
I am so grateful to have stumbled upon this tutorial. I’ve watched many tutorials using different media. I usually cannot watch the whole thing. But you explain everything so well and you’re so humble despite being a titan in talent. I am now a subscriber and will follow your other social media accounts. Your art is incredibly beautiful and you have a gift for instruction! God bless you!
@@MarianneVanderDussen no, honestly, thank YOU! I downloaded your free ebook. Again, so easily understandable but most of all, it is well-written and so beautifully made. You know that it was made with a lot of love and care. Your artistry is in every detail. If it were a printed copy it could be a coffee table book. That’s how gorgeous it is. I followed you on Instagram too. I hope you keep making art and continue to inspire budding artists to see beauty in everything and find true joy in their art journey. I haven’t picked up a brush in a long time but you inspired me to paint today. That is how gifted you are. Thank you again!
Hi Marianne! I have just discovered your channel. Your artworks are just mind blowing. I'm amazed to see your working process and the efforts you put into your videos. I too am an artist and love to work with Acrylic. I wanted to know if you seal your sketchbook pages after painting with acrylics to prevent them sticking. And if you do, what product do you use for sealing? Thank you. Much love to you💓
Great question! My pages haven’t been sticking together but apparently a lot of people experience this problem. I’m going to test out some different options and will make a video about this in the future!!!
