  • Join me for some of my process in painting this vibrant Scarlet Tanager sitting amongst some bright green leaves lit by an evening summer sun. I'll talk about colour mixing, background details, and painting this colourful bird. It's going to be a long process that requires some patience and focus, with a bit of uncertainty about how to bring some of the elements to life. But in the end it's worth all that time and effort and I hope that this will be helpful! Enjoy!

    Joseph, thank you again for telling us how long it took you to paint the leaves. Now I can judge about how long it will take me to paint this very beautiful painting. Thank you too for presenting this with all the information needed to get the colors right and the why’s. Have a blessed day ❤

      You're welcome! I'm happy to share the colour mixing info as well the time it takes, and why I made some of the decisions I did. Paintings like this can be quite the process to bring to life so I like to share as much as I can about it!

    Enjoyed this tutorial a lot. Thanks for not ruining your video and voice over with nousy background music. That very low, mellow music was perfect. The lower the better. The painting is so, so beautiful. The rim light on the leaves makes it almost poetic.

    • @JosephKoensgen
      @JosephKoensgen  Рік тому +4

      Thank you so much! Glad you liked it! Yes, I don't want to have music that would be distracting from what I'm showing, and just something to add a little bit of ambiance to the video. Appreciate the nice comments!

    I keep watching this video over and over and can't fathom ever being able to achieve your level of realism.

Thank you for sharing your amazing technique and including what you are thinking and why you are making the choices you do with colours, forms etc.

    • @JosephKoensgen
      @JosephKoensgen  11 місяців тому +3

      You're welcome, I'm happy to share!! And thank you, that is incredibly kind of you to say. I've been a huge admirer of Terry's work for along time. I then had a chance to travel with a group of artists where him and I met, and we became good friends. He is certainly missed and I still look at his paintings for inspiration and continue to admire the amazing body of work he produced.

    Beautiful painting. The light from the evening sun along with the red tanager give the painting a strong dynamic. Each leaf is done extremely well, and without the attention to detail on every leaf, it would not have done justice to this beautiful bird. Thanks for sharing your thought process regarding your color selections and the initial layout of the painting. Excellent!

  • @carolynmacaluso4957
    @carolynmacaluso4957 8 місяців тому

    I really appreciated the discussion about having patience when there are so many pieces, and your struggle to get the right reds and vibrancy and how you worked through it. Many artists on UA-cam make it look like they rarely struggle. I've just picked acrylics up after nearly 40 years, so of course I try something ridiculously difficult like dozens of lily leaves and a red lily, when I've never painted a flower before. Exercising patience and trying not to get bored or discouraged.Thanks!

    • @JosephKoensgen
      @JosephKoensgen  8 місяців тому +1

      You're welcome! I think it is important to share those aspects of art. It is very rare for me that a painting goes perfectly from start to finish - in fact some of them are complete drudgery and only in the last 10% have they come together as I keep working through it. With wildlife realism, or realism of any subject, it just takes time and patience and learning as much as we can, even when things sometimes don't work out. Appreciate you watching and I hope that your painting journey back into acrylics goes well!

    • @JosephKoensgen
      @JosephKoensgen  Рік тому +2

      Thank you!! Glad that this was helpful! That is definitely something to experiment with and to try some more layers. As well as using the quick drying time to this advantage - adding layers one after another right away and having nice control over fine details.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you.
    You are indeed a rare breed of artist in the sense that you really do immerse and engage your viewer along with yourself in the painting. As a result of how you manage to immerse both yourself and the viewer, the viewer becomes engulfed in the process.
    As a viewer watching your video, i feel as if I'm drawn into the painting process with you.
    The way you explain things as you paint makes way for a window into your thought process - this is a valuable insight so many of us are looking for.
    If i was to give you a score, it would be 10/10. 100%
    Congratulations...
