Wow! An actual TEACHER on UA-cam? Amazing! So tired of these "Look at me!" speed paint videos disguised as tutorials and how to's. It's nice to see someone who knows what they are doing actually teaching people how to paint.
Wait, others struggle with those vids too?!?! I thought it was me!!! I've been struggling & struggling, watching & painting dozens & dozens of beginner/easy vids from so many UA-cam artists who seem so much more interested in selling their merchandise (ie brushes, t shirts) than helping anyone learn. They imply/infer that by buying their exclusive line of ie brushes it'll magically transform you into a painting pro. They may be great brushes but there are no magic shortcuts. After dozens & dozend of painting to these vids with horrible results. I decided, just today, to box-up ALL my paints/supplies because I felt so artistically defeated and empty of any talent. Now that I've seen this video I'm pulling everything back and will begin anew watching closely these exceptional lessons. Thank you!!!
It's So refreshing and a blessing that u take the time to show technics of painting and of how it's really done without being greedy.. like some painters are... I've been looking for someone like u... U r a blessing and a special person and have a great personality with lots of patients... Have a great night 🌙 please keep showing us more👏..love u💖
Finally a video that makes sence. I learned years ago, and now teach, that we need to understand the tools and materials we use. Not so much the pros & cons, but rather capabilities and limitation then using that info to our advantage to create the desired effects. I tell my students use common sense, follow safety precautions and explore. Experiment and learn what your tools can do for you in this adventure of art.
WhittleDude, I am in total agreement. I always equate painting skills with craftsman's skills: it works best when you know what your tools and materials will do and when you know how to guide their results.
Great tips as always the fan brush is so useful and universal can use the tip or edge put diffent colors on each side to help with shades or highlight. I use it more then anything can blend with etc. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the tip I’m not brand new to painting but I’ve always worked with water color . Now I’m trying to learn to paint with oil paints and acrylic paints. I have way too many hobbies but painting is my favorite! I appreciate any help I can get so thank you again for your video!
@@gypsysnickerdoodle4354 An idiotic comment. Older people has years of experience that you can't get in a hurry or in a single year., This artist can teach you a thing or two, that's for sure.
In 1969 I began studying at Massachusetts College of Art. I thought we would get this kind of instruction on materials and tools, but was bitterly disappointed. Instead, the college force-fed their students a diet of abstract expressionism. Thank you for this wonderful training.
William, I got the same diet from UGA back in the mid-60's. It did give me understanding of what the abstract expressionists were doing, but I had to go elsewhere to get the technical information I needed.
Not quite true my art teacher hated anime so when I told him I watched anime he yelled at me and I got a detention for liking anime, my parents called school because they were confused so yeah he got fired (they thought the detention was for something else)
Nice educative video. I never used fan brush in my work. Thanks for sharing. I started UA-cam channel with oil paintings tutorials. Everybody welcome. 🎨
I am having fan brush but it’s synthetic and soft, fro dower and raney . But unable to get this effect from the fan brush, Do the brush needs to be rough to get the effects
Aww she reminds me pf Bob Ross! How nice! And just what I needed. I just started painting and its really hard to teach yourself when artists dont take the time to explain how they create effects, so thank you so much for this video!!
It's like any other skill. We can learn by trial and error, but it surely does make it easier when someone who knows the skills shows them to you. Enjoy your journey.
Thank you. I need some ideas with the fan brush. Can you keep the camera closer to your strokes so we can see what your doing. I’m a visual learner so I must see what your talking about.
I had never thought of that. And in this day and age I really don't use the telephone book but they still get delivered to us as it's part of our phone service. But I end up throwing it in the recycle bin. So it does get recycled but I always thinks it's a waste. So I think I will use the next one in the manner that you're suggesting. I'm sure it will become very handy.
Just found you! So many great tips! Thank you! Btw, you're very brave, painting in a white shirt. I've never learned to paint without wearing some of it. Subscribed.
Seriously Dianne, it couldn't be more true. And you're one of the most soothing & most likeable people doing this on UA-cam.💖@@IntheStudioArtInstruction
What do you do with the extra paint you have on your board when your done? 🙏🏼 Thank you for these tutorials. I homeschool my daughter and will be included your videos as part of her art curriculum.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction I know, I know...I'm sorry...I just found it funny. lol Thank you for your time and effort in making the video though. I appreciate it...Even if I had to squint a lot. :P
I love your extremely helpful video! I am a self taught artist and I never realized that this brush was so versatile. You have a wonderful, direct and warm way of communicating with your audience. I am looking forward to learning more from other videos of your. I am especially interested in brush techniques and different kinds of brush strokes and ways of holding and handling the brush. Thank you so much!!
Can a fan brush also be used for say painting rain,mist or other nature elements? 😊 i love you,re lessons in the studio art instructions 😊👍🏾👋🏾you,re never too old to paint
Yes. What we pay attention to is the characteristic of the brush - learn what it can do - then use it where we see we need the kind of thing it can do. No brush is limited to any specific assignment.
Thank you Diane. I’ve watched this video three times just to remind me of the principals that your valued insight could have a huge impact on our paintings. Again I’d like to thank you.
Thank you Diane! Years ago I attended (and graduated from) art college and had few teachers who gave practical materials and tools advice like this. They were more interested in forcing abstract expressionism on us than giving us the skills we paid for. You are a Godsend.
Thank you, very well explained, and helpful techniques. I thought perhaps the last part where you showed the imprint the fan brush made when using the whole rounded shape would be good for giving the impression of- tree tops in the distance. 😃
Isn't it amazing, Rhonda, how things we do with a brush can open up possibilities of how we can use those strokes to translate various images. Good observation!
It must be made of hog bristle. Hog bristle does not take well to water, but works beautifully with oils. If you can get a fan brush with synthetic bristles, it will work well with gouache.
Ok some feedback...mute the video...speed it up...your done. 13 mins too long...1 minute is all we need. And, get ride of that Filbert brush and use a two inches to apply paint to your canvas...speed it up...
I like the hair example best. I'm a newer painter (less than 4yrs) & want to paint animals (dogs/cats) but I'm stressed about painting fur & getting it right. Thank you so much for your tips! I DO have a fan brush & so far, I've only used it for winter pine trees.
Observation is your best friend. Rather than paint "hair", look for the hues and values, then the textures. This brush gives the textures by the way it can move value into value and color into color.
I love your quiet and informative way that you teach. Very often, I will watch an episode and file away the key information , and then watch it again as I prepare to paint. Thank you. Cordially, Mary
Sorry, you seem like a nice lady, but you talk way, way too much. Plus you didn't start zooming the camera in for close-ups till around 12:30. The first 2 examples hardly showed any difference in contrast or color. Too far away, colors you chose too close. Maybe right in front of you, you can see difference, but it doesn't really show up in the demonstration on your channel. I have to say it like it is. Overriding tone and content one of blandness and boredom.
You are a fantastic (pun intended) instructor. I've been painting for 30 years but I still find your tips helpful. Thanks!
Wow, thank you!

Fan brush is also great for leaves on trees. Creates a random pattern

Not quite true my art teacher hated anime so when I told him I watched anime he yelled at me and I got a detention for liking anime, my parents called school because they were confused so yeah he got fired (they thought the detention was for something else)
Caravaggio wasn't, and Gauguin was a paedophile. Painters are people like everyone else, there are bad people everywhere.
@@shadowsenpai35 Sorry, I have empathy with your teacher.

Thank you so much for teaching the tools and how to use them. That is the information I need.

I've never thought of the fan brush as just an effects brush, that's an interesting perspective...I like the stippling!
👍
Real valuable information that can be applied by a artist of any level. Thank you for all these wonderful pointers.
You are so welcome!
I am having fan brush but it’s synthetic and soft, fro dower and raney . But unable to get this effect from the fan brush, Do the brush needs to be rough to get the effects
For the fan brush to perform like I'm showing here, it should be made of hog bristles.

Love your instructional videos. That said, it would be helpful if the camera were closer.
This was an earlier Quick Tip. You'll notice in the later ones that the camera does zoom in closer.
Thank you. I need some ideas with the fan brush. Can you keep the camera closer to your strokes so we can see what your doing. I’m a visual learner so I must see what your talking about.
Sure thing!
Camera needs to focus on the canvas. Otherwise a good lesson.
Noted.
13.57. Fan over base colors…like whiskers or thin reeds, rain…..thanks
You bet.
thank you so much. This helped a lot!
Have fun with it.
I dont always comment but this tutorial is probably my #1.
Thanks, Danny!
you can use an old telephone book to whip you brush between pages.. works, then throw book away after all pages are used.
Eye on art *
Great tip thank you. I often wondered how to clean my Fan brush to separate the bristles now I know.
I had never thought of that. And in this day and age I really don't use the telephone book but they still get delivered to us as it's part of our phone service.

I use a fan brush for cedars and pines. Works great. You're awesome.
It works great for so many things. It's an amazing little tool when used as a tool and not as an excuse.
I'm just curious as to what you mean "as an excuse"?
I also use a flat brush for cedar and pine trees.
Thankyou soooo much.. it really helped me!!
Great!
Cámara needs to zoom can’t see
A larger screen might help.
My medium is gouache and i only have 1 cheap fan brush
Whenever the fan brush gets wet it forms into spikes :c
What can i do?
It must be made of hog bristle. Hog bristle does not take well to water, but works beautifully with oils. If you can get a fan brush with synthetic bristles, it will work well with gouache.
In the Studio Art Instruction thank you so much!

I think you've got it backwards. Slow it down so you can get the real essence of the full capacity of what this brush can do.
how do I keep my fan brush from splitting apart?

What brand of fan brush is this?
Shan, it's an old fan brush with the brand name completely worn off, but any professional brand of a hog bristle fan brush will do the same job.
