you're welcome Maam... I am glad you get a little info of this. Though I still have lots of things to learn also... Thank you very much for taking time to watch this video.. :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to help others like me learn to paint. Your paintings are so beautiful. Your instructions are very helpful, and your voice very relaxing.
Thank you so much, you are very kind to pass on your knowledge like this. I have been following your work for about 12 months now and always enjoy watching you paint. So from your fans in Australia, thank you!
Wow! Thank you for the wonderful tutorials. I have never painted before and I made my first painting today with the help of your video. You are my guru. I hope to learn more from you and make some beautiful paintings. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Thank you some much for the details: brush sizes, colors and how to mix them. I’m new to this and have watched a ton of videos. Yours is far and away the best. You are really helping newbies.
I just found your videos 2 days ago and love watching and learning from them. Thank you for sharing. I am just a beginner but learning so much from you already.
Thanks much for the valuable lesson! I love your tutorials, no matter what you are painting. You are so gifted, and I appreciate you sharing your time and your beautiful talent.
Fine lesson... ideal for beginners (MJSmith is a great artist but too complicated for us, beginners and very hard to do and so very frustrating) That's why I really like your lessons a lot! You give us confidence! Thank you, sir!
You are very talented. I love your paintings. I have watched a few of your videos but haven't done any yet. I will do one soon. Not sure which one I should try first. Also, you say English is not your language but you are doing very well with it. Keep up the great work you do and thank you for sharing your talent with us.
you're welcome.. Thank you very much! That's nice if you try to do one... :) Thanks to this videos I am learning to speak and to your comments in which I am learning to interact and learn more from you... Your comments are also a great help for my progress especially in speaking English... Thank you very much!
I really like your tutorials. Your tutorials are very clear and precise. I like that you give information on the color paints, and the kind of brushes you used. For inexperience students, this information is very important. Keep up the excellent work you are doing. You are inspiring me.
John, do you ever paint in oil? Your tutorial are fabulous! You make it look so easy! If you do paint in oils, can you advise? Thank you for your great videos. You seem very patient and explain everything so clearly! Thanks again. God bless.
you're welcome Marty.. Yes I paint in oils and it is my favorite medium. I will be posting tutorials on it in the future... Thank you and God bless you too.
Your video's are the best I have seen yet. I have learnt so much off them already and I only started watching today. Thank You and I will keep watching more :)
Your videos are excellent... you show your colors, you explain as you go and you take your time end result beautiful. Thank you!! Helps me tremendously!!
I've painted my first tree! Thank you so much!)) For the second tree I mixed PH Blue+Neopolitan Yellow + Madder lake = a little different result but still great! Also, one thing I noticed, you use an angle of your flat bruch, right? I mean, you don't put you bruch just flat on the paper, you just touch the paper a little by one of the bruche's angles. It's new for me, thanks!
thank you very much! yes! I don't push the brush flat on the surface... I just do it lightly to create those effect of leaves... And you can use the sides and edges of the tip and bristles of the brush to do that...
I like the way do John. It gives me a lesson on how to make this painting as being a beginner...I start a few days ago. ang my painting notreally good. but. everyonewas appreciate it. and I'm proud to myself. my first time I used paint. as I always using pencils .. I want to be an expert pentress ..If the weather will allow to do these things. thanks for being a good demostrator ..it so clearly and I impressed your style so much . . good luck for more ..
You explained just fine. You speak English quite well. How many Americans can speak your language? haha not a lot.. .I have trouble with THICK or HEAVY Indian accents and sometimes THICK (HEAVY) Asian accents, BUT I can understand you just fine! No problem. Just speak slowly and succinctly, and there's no problem! You are doing Great at explaining! You know what you are talking about and demonstrate it at the same time WHILE BEING VIDEO TAPED! BRAVO!
As usual ... your teaching is really great. However, you can no longer fool me into thinking it is easy ... LOL. But I will continue to try, try, and try again! These are so useful .... keep up the good work.
John magne Lisondra thanks John..your very talented..and great teaching. Tfs and posting these vids. Can you please do a detailed lesson on how to paint rocks? Thanks so much if you have time...
Thank you for posting this tutorial on painting leaves. I have attempted trees but they look like i used my big toe to create the leaves. LOL I will use less pressure applying the paint. Starting with a darker green graduating to a lighter more yellow highlight. and not over do.
thank u for tree lesson. in going to try something like this my next painting time. I think I understand more about not over doing and light source..thank u much.
Thank you for your easy to follow techniques. It's good to know how to use different brushes for making foliage and leaves, eg. fan brush vs flat brush in these paintings! TFS...
