One tip that really helps me break things up is to see things in shapes rather than as the objects they are. A tree might be a series of triangles (one for each value) for instance. This works really well for landscapes and faces. Instead of seeing mountains and trees or a coast with cliffs, I try to see the shapes that values take. It pulls me away from the details of the object.
Which was your favourite tip? 😄 also I didn’t mention it the video but I have just opened a Patreon 😍🥳🤩 so if you’d like to visit the link is in the description box ❤️ thank you everyone for your support!! X
Squinting, ref photo far away (I majorly get hung up on details), grip the brush nearer the end, focus on values. Going to try some plein air soon, am near-sighted so I could try taking off my glasses, really excited to use my near-sightedness as a useful tool 😂
Squinting is definetly one that has helped me alot that i have been able to apply already, but instead of squinting i just slightly cross my eyes so it gives the same effect but people dont think i look weird unless they r looking straight at me😅
I’ve tried using bigger brushes and it really does help! Less tempted to add detailed and get to have fun with the brush strokes - Thanks for the tips!! 💛💛
My favourite tip was less paint for a smoother background. It makes sense. Least favorite was giving myself a short time limit. I think I would end up with a big mess! Thanks for your inspiration. You are definitely the most inspiring artist on you tube. You make me want to paint.
Favorite tips: big brushes, time limit, squint, and stand up, stand back :-) Thanks so much! Love this tips list! As a beginner, I am needy for all tips and info :-) jokingly kinda said to a friend I am making things blurry like seeing without my glasses on 😁 that idea makes it easier for me to make marks with paint cuz fuzzy unclear is fine 😱💕thanks for your help!
Up until now I've largely focused on realism, borderline hyper-realism, so these tips are a huge help. I'll probably add one more tip for those like me. Watch a couple of useful videos like this one, but then get on with it and start practicing. I've often been too caught up in getting every possible tip before starting, that I never get started before the day is actually over.
Taking breaks from the reference can help too! I never tried painting so far away from the canvas, now I just *have* to try it out! Thank you for sharing 🖤✨
I love standing to paint (although it becomes tiresome) but once I get into the movement of the painting, it works so much better than sitting! Focusing on the basic shapes and base colours of the subject/reference photo also really helps to ignore the details if you're trying impressionism or abstract. And then building on the colours, so that you still get a layer effect and texture will make the painting look interesting and professional, without going into the fine details of what you're painting. Thank you Katie for your tips! Cheers :)
Ive had a painting waiting to be finished for 6 months…stuck. This morning I started to use my fingers on it and WOW, the colors and direction came together!
Yes on squinting! I havnt even begun my journey into Impressionism… although I’ve been a sketch artist for years… but that’s the first thing I thought of that would help me get the vagueness just right. I always squint at finished impressionist paintings. It’s so fun to see it come to life as your brain fills in the blanks
@@KatieJobling yes it does- like a lot, thank you so much Katie! my most fav would be #10 time limit bcs i tend to ignore it most of the time which idk why 😅
amazing advice!! ❤️ i always find myself grabbing a small brush wayyy too soon so I think I’m going to lock them away for my next piece and only use larger brushes!!
Awesome tips! You're such a wonderful teacher. Your video was motivated me to try to paint and it turned out more spectacular than I ever thought it would. I watched your huge Peonies picture first... where you just put in colors and then outlining with whiter color highlighting brought it all together! Fantastic... wish you lived closer! I am in the US.... blessings to you!
You are awesome , thank you so much for this video. I was struggling so much, but you made it so clear. The first thing I did was to take my glasses off. It helped tremendously! 🤓
@@KatieJobling Actually I really love painting landscapes but usually I pain them in a realistic style! Going to try paint them in an impressionistic way now😊!
Part of me didn’t realize what impressionistic means, and just realized that’s the style you use to paint with cause of this video. Very interesting! love your paintings!
Wow, I did not know these tips and can now see what it is I love about the impressionist's era. Making th objective subjective. thanks and cheers from you friendly lion.
Thank you Katie, love these tips. I really appreciate your sharing. You were my first youtube art teacher and I still love your tutorials. I love the squinting tip, it really does work ❤
How about listening to music while painting? I have a coworker going to give me a large wooden easel…will try painting standing up. Thanks for the tips!
Great tips and love the sorry to the basket. Since I have been I poured by your art and channel I am slowly letting go and enjoying the freedom of loose brush strokes. It’s feels good to be free
Cool! Very valuable and practical tips, straightforward and very clear instructions and you are so beautiful! Thank you for sharing. God bless you more! And by the way, I like all your tips!
Hard to know which tip is best. The whole package is great. I guess working quickly through squinted eyes ...oops that's 2 hints. Thanks heaps. Love your videos ....succinct clear & easy to understand. 😍😍😍🤗
Hi! Katie Jobling. I'm here because you are so beautiful 😍😄 and your paintings are beautiful too😍😍. Who like me, raise your hand!😂😂 Thank you for sharing!
I paint whit himi miya gouache 56 colour set and acrylic gouache from liquitex😊 i love you,re paintings. I love to paint in my canson xl aquarel sketchbook and on my canvas boards 😊
I was searching up some impressionism today, really nice video again! I can't wait to try some tips, especially the last one. I should buy myself more canvassess to practice though 😁
You're so cute 🥰 and the tips are great! I've tried big brushes, it gives really an impressionistic look to the painting. I'll try other tips too, thanks!
Great advice. I’m just a hobby painter and not a very good one at that. But I enjoy it. But it’s true about when you’re talking to someone and you’re thinking about how to paint the building behind them etc. I look at things differently now since i started. How the sun hits a hillside or wispy clouds vs big fluffy clouds. I definitely try to paint realistic even when I try not to. Very irritating.
Excellent advice. I loved the squint tip. I wear reader glasses & I hate wearing them when I paint. So now I won't... & two problems have been solved. ps. I love your work. It's beautiful.
Yes, it did! I get caught up in the tiny details, and lose track of the “feeling” of the painting. Your tips will help me focus what is more important, and “let go” of the minute details that really don’t matter🙂❤️

Any tips for beginners with no experience with painting 🥲 I want to start smart
Love how you say sorry to the basket as you hurt it in some way 😂
The basket's feelings were hurt lol
😂😂
I knocked my entire bottle of Modge Podge all over the floor, the other day, and then I asked if it was okay 😂
😂
It's a very British habit! lol

Congrats on the Patreon!! ❤️ My go to is the 'Hold the brush differently' tip, one I need constant reminding of haha!

I’m going to try this! I usually end up using tiny brushes for the whole painting.
Fabulous tips! My favorites: Squint, stand, “think like an artist” and teach yourself to see things differently!
I really like your tip on using a timer!

Love your humour and infectious joy. Even your eyes are smiling! Feeling inspired 💝

These were really great tips, thank you.
Great pointers for impressionist beginners...that would be me! New subscriber. Thanks, you have a very nice presentation style.
The timing tip helped me. Until you said it I had never thought of timing myself.
I loved the way of looking at things in a different way n train ur mind to paints a different style
like your upbeat love of painting. Your encouragement along with the tips will help me experiment. Thanks again.
Using a big brush was my favourite tip. Never realized that is one of the integral things of the technique.
Wow, I did not know these tips and can now see what it is I love about the impressionist's era. Making th objective subjective. thanks and cheers from you friendly lion.
I’m going to play around with bigger brushes and standing while painting! Thanks Katie😍
Wow you're the first person to mention the squint thing. It really helps to divide out proportions equally
Thank you Katie, love these tips. I really appreciate your sharing. You were my first youtube art teacher and I still love your tutorials. I love the squinting tip, it really does work ❤
Comes in the right time. Want to paint impressionistic landscapes and struggle. :) ❤️ Thanks Katie.
How about listening to music while painting? I have a coworker going to give me a large wooden easel…will try painting standing up. Thanks for the tips!
Can you do a video about sketching in an Impressionist style? I don't have and can't afford paints and big canvases, but love the style.
Great teaching thankyou.
Have a SUPER day.
