I rarely comment but I could not not say how great your video and your explaining is. Super tutorial and very easy. Thank you

[@OilPaintingwithRobertMee]

Thanks for your feedback. Good luck with your painting 👍

[@PaintingandExercise]

I love how you take a nice but lifeless photo and bring it to life. The painting has movement, sparkle, personality, and a sense of being alive.

I'm a total beginner to oil painting. Have been learning watercolor online for the last year and a half with an excellent teacher. So glad to have come across your channel. I subscribed and hope to learn a lot from you. The style of this painting definitely appeals to me. I'm fascinated with the idea of learning how to paint skies. I live in a small south facing apartment without any curtains on a wall of windows. The view is a never ending change of sky and clouds from sunrise to sunset every day and every minute. I so much want to paint this subject in oils because it seems impossible for me to capture its depth and complexity in watercolor. Thank you for this inspiring video. You've made me very happy 😊 Cheers from a senior citizen in Toronto Ontario 🇨🇦

I started to comment that you really brought that scene to life, and then I saw someone else already said that, so it must be true! Ha ha. Nicely done! Love how you show the paintings in a frame at the end, too. Thanks!

[@HelenThorne-or1ho]

If it is your impression of something, then it is impressionism. 😊

[@OilPaintingwithRobertMee]

I think that is a good way to think about it 🤔

I paint with acrylics and get caught up in too much detail! I over do it! I find my quick under painting is fresher and aligns better with impressionism and a looser approach. Your lesson is a wonderful reminder of keeping a painting fresh and lively! Thank you ! Your painting is marvelous! ❤

its so much better and alive than the photo! Beautiful. I will try, I managed a few times to do wonderful paintings like that, but I usually get lost in details and try to make it like the photo, and is very frustrating. I am portraitist but I so much wish to be better in landcapes. I will have to watch this again:) Thanks, a great help and inspiration. I think is the best I have ever seen .

I briefly put it in a frame to take a photo for my video. However probably a few months before it permanently goes in a frame.
