You are fantastic and a great inspiration to me. Thank you! And your stile is the BEST! I love the backgrounds of your pictures and the way you play with light.
Hi, I’ve been watching your videos for a long time, and I love your artwork. I always tell myself, to do what makes-me happy. So I draw, I paint, I make jewellery, I make resin pieces. I also love fluid art. Sometimes, when I’m just playing around, with no plan, my art comes out better. What I’m saying is enjoy your art, do what makes you happy, and sometimes just do something completely new to you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art with us. X❤
I feel your pain on the "less time to paint." Painting is a part-time gig for me, but I write full-time. The admin, the marketing, the accounting -- all the NOT writing tasks... it's amazing how much time they take up!
I'm a full time artist too. I love your art, you inspire me to paint wild life. Maybe I need to try with acrylics next time because I always choose oil but I see the background of this piece and it's so difficult with oil to get the effects that you have done. I admire you.
This is some of the best advice I've heard for someone like myself that is working on being a full time artist. I will have to watch this multiple times 😭 Thank you so much for sharing and happy 1yr being a full time artist!
Enjoy watching your journey...and especially watching your paintings evolve from rough to perfection. It is so easy to get frustrated in the early stages of a painting and think it's a waste of time. I just completed one I started over a year ago and felt much better about it with new eyes. Best of luck....your wildlife paintings are warm and wonderful.
Hi Daniel - loving the uploads and the information. When you get time could you do a video on some of your techniques? For instance , how you colour match, what acrylic paints you use and why you chose the brand etc. Much appreciated. G
Beautiful and stunning painting. The first time that I have watched your video and hope to see many more. One day I hope to be a full time artist too 😊
Hi Danial, great Video and gorgeous painting. Plain air is the place to understand light and colour. That’s the place we suck up our art and it sticks with us. How many greens do you see, how many blues do you see. Lighting effects without limit. Then we begin to understand morning light, mid day light, and evening light. Take a look at Julien Dupre for example. You have the skill now get the art. Photos and a computer screens are a help but not the real thing. Best wishes.
Living the dream mate! I’m a marker artist, (in my free time lol) I work full time but I’d love to be doing what you’ve done. To be a full time artist is the dream man, so inspirational 💪🏼👌🏼 Love these kinda videos 👍🏼
Lovely video Daniel. Very enjoyable to watch you. You have infectious enthusiasm. I have your brush set and have used only one - haven't had time to paint much as am working...but that brush is awesome - can't wait to use others.
I had been in a bit of a rut with my work for a time now, and honestly, you have helped inspire me and brought me out of that rut. I just recently received my new brushes and can not wait to start using them. Thank you for sharing your work and inspiration. 🩵
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It not only gave a lot of important insight but it is also motivating and humbling. If it's one thing that I have learnt, it is that if your path is tough , it's because your journey/ goal is worth it, and it will be very rewarding. You art as usual is simply sublime and amazing. Keep up the amazing work and just push forward. Cheers!
You are a very talented but very generous artist. Thank you for sharing your story and your working methods. The ordinary, unglamorous realities such as not wanting to make a mess in your home really ring authentically for those of us not fortunate enough to have a dedicated studio. Talent and vision need lots of slogging along with hard work to meet goals and you are setting a very relatable example. Thank you!
Great video, I loved the little B-roll sections and humour you threw in there. I am appreciative of your honesty and realistic reflection. I’m still very much a hobby painter, even though so many tell me ‘You could definitely sell that and make money’ I personally get stuck with the marketing part of this art journey. Maybe a video idea?
One thing my daughter taught me for my studio floor was to go my local store and pick up a roll of inexpensive vinyl flooring. I was renting at the time and had carpeting. I put down the vinyl over the carpet. At times I do very wet abstract backgrounds. I moved and have vinyl flooring in my studio. Again I put down a roll of vinyl flooring over my floor. When it gets too dirty and disgusting, I pull it up and put down another roll.
You may struggle at times but us mere mortals go OMG how does he do it. As always your work is outstanding, back yourself you have many more years ahead of you doing this.
I love this piece! It is magnificent! I enjoyed your video too. It was very informative! It helps me to not give up, when learn other artists experience the same frustrations!
Thanks for the great advice and lovely, inspiring painting! I LOVE my Studio Wildlife brush set! I dont know if you remember me from your live stream but i was struggling with some proportions with the initial sketch for a wolf painting. Happy to say it's completed and aside for 1 old frayed filbert I like for fluffy fur, the entire wolf was painted with your brushes. I took a break from acrylics to play with oils since and now i think i need another set.
The painter's depiction of the vast forest demonstrates a high level of observational and expressive power. The dense trees, which accurately capture and vividly reproduce the natural environment, make people feel as if they are there. The orange deer stands out particularly in the green forest, vividly depicted by the painter. This deer seems to have gained life, leisurely strolling through the forest, enjoying the tranquility and beauty.
Thank you for this great video! I find it very interesting what you went through in the year as a full-time artist. Many of the things you mentioned are very similar to me. I still have to find my way as a hobby artist. I am often not satisfied with my work. The pressure from social media is increasingly spoiling the fun of painting. I have already stopped comparing myself to other artists, but the pressure I put on myself is still very high. At the moment I have been in a motivational slump for a long time and just don't feel like painting. So it's nice to hear that you feel the same way and that you have learned to deal with it. So I need a little more patience with myself. You have once again created a beautiful work of art. I love the way you paint. You bring so much of yourself and therefore a lot of life into your pictures. Absolutely brilliant. Keep it up, best wishes from Germany. 🫶🙋♀️
Thank you so much, both for sharing your experience with us and for those funny little moments you added, making the whole video very interesting and funny. Your ups and downs had me laughing so much. 😂 You are a wonderful artist and the life you create through your paintings is incredible, but if someday you don't wanna create painting videos anymore, then for sure you can create funny videos! 🤗🤗🤗 Again, thank you 🤗
Interesting. Never considered how much tips given to artists could work very well for other fields of art as well. For me when it came to writing my own novel, it was the same process of feeling frustration but persevering. Needing sometimes to step away for over two months to return with a clearer mind to it, or completely veer off the original plan (mainly because it is supposed to be there as a guide and not as the end all and be all)
Ive got afew put to one side....till l get better...😂...inspiring work....thank you for your videos...am going to ask santa for an early present...would luv a set of brushes...😊
Im a 10 yr with two pieces i could sell for money but i am struggleing to make any pieses realistic im no good at.landscapes i dont like portraits and im quite good at animals i dont mind abstract but it never turns out very good im making youtube a channel.i will give you the detailes on studios video Please keep looking at the comments from helen hamer to daniel wilson/studio wildlife
how do you use a white color pencil on a white sketchbook paper because I'm doing a snow leopard drawing the snow leopard is sleeping on a piece of iceberg, I finished coloring the snow leopard and now I'm coloring the iceberg I want the white to show but the paper is white by the way I like the painting
Do you just use water when you paint the thin layers? Does it not open/ ruin the pigment too much if it is more water than paint? I find it difficult to find the right advice :) Thanks! Have a nice day
@@86romanova yes business indeed and the most of that is not about doing your art, the thing that you really love. It is a bit of a myth this things about being a full time artist .
Yes that's my feelings to....its too easy to get engrossed in details....l want my work to look like a painting...l did a Robin in pastels last year....and a visitor thought it was a photo as she walked past....I didn't say anything...but l certainly didn't feel flattered...😊
I think this is the problem with becoming too accurate how can one rly go back and become more abstract feelings based. I want to improve but I also like my abstract style and paint from visions. I think once you’ve become this good and hyper realistic it’s going to be almost impossible to pull it back, be interesting to see.
So you basically just copy other people's photos? Are you using copyright-free images? or are you encouraging people to steal copyright? Are they your own photos? How can you sell something if you've copied it from someone else's photo, which is copyrighted? because there are copyright laws. How can your artwork be called "original" if the images are not yours that you copied from? Genuine questions that come to mind when I see your art. Perhaps I am mistaken and all the photos are your own.
There are websites with royalty free (aka ‘no copyright) images. People that post their photos on there know that they can and will be used for all kinds of purposes and basically have given up their copyright. These are often hobby photographers. I use those websites sites for reference photos and inspiration. I’m not sure where Daniel gets his images from, some artists work with photographers who give them permission to use their photo’s.
Thank you.....the painting is amazing....and the insight is so very helpful!!
The painting is magnificent! Loved hearing your story.
You are fantastic and a great inspiration to me. Thank you! And your stile is the BEST!

Wow you really nailed it!!! 11:59 pm pacific
Wow that's amazing ❤
Keep up the good work
And you really inspired me I'm also an artist and I really learned something from you 🎉
Keep going ❤💯
This painting is amazing, you’re an amazing artist. I want to become a full time artist.
I need some help with starting my first artwork, which is painting but it seems hard
Your videos make so much sense to me!!!!
Absolutely breathtaking.
