    I have a cousin that's a professional artist, and I've been painting ever since I was 10. I've gotta tell you, that's the best way of painting a rose I've ever seen.

    I've been following many of the one stroke teachers. And by far, you are the best teacher I've come across. You take your time, showing step by step how to make the strokes you are teaching. In addition, you mention: the type of paint, the colors, the name and number of the brushes being used. All these things help tremendously. Thank you!

    M(r)s. April, your videos are wonderful! I am primarily a digital painter with photoshop, but I love taking breaks and going back to the traditional way of painting sometimes. I have been watching a lot of instructional videos- Bob Ross, Bill Alexander, and the other assortments on youtube to get inspired and lean new techniques. Your videos are very clear and concise. I had watched other one-stroke paintings and many of them never showed how they put the paint on the palette. thanks!

  • @FawkkYoCouch

    I love watching you paint April. I've been trying to learn one stroke from books & tutorials & YOU by far have been the most inspirational. You're easy & complete directions have given me hope that one day my brush too maybe swirling & flowing with the same ease. Thank you for your relaxed & informative style.

    • @aprilnumamoto8056

    @elizabethhawkins9350 2 роки тому

    I absolutely love your videos. I am a beginner as far as acrylic paint is concerned, and my favorite thing to paint is flowers, but I could not for the life of me figure out how to do a rose for the longest time. Your videos are the ones that finally helped me to achieve what I had been working for. I love how detailed oriented you are and how you explain every minute facet of what you’re doing. It really helps with the learning process. Thank you for your mentorship to all painters out there!

    • @aprilnumamoto8056

    The medium will help the paint glide easier on the surface. If you are painting on a surface that is slick and non porous, then you don't need the medium.

    • @aprilnumamoto8056

      @deepowers3117 9 років тому +9

      April Numamoto I think your volume is fine. If I needed it louder, I could always turn up the sound on my computer. I enjoy the nice soothing volume of your voice; especially late at night when the last thing I need is loud, rapid speech or zippy music. I am watching at that time to relax and enjoy as well as to learn.

      @MeshT95 7 років тому +1

      I have a question, if I paint a nice coat of acrylic all over my surface (such as cardboard or watercolor paper) would it be possible to paint with this technique without using the medium? I can't find in in any store in my country

      @aprilnumamoto8056  10 років тому

      I'm sorry i didn't reply sooner. I must have missed this one. The technique called One Stroke painting, you don't have to be an artist or know how to draw. If you load the brush correctly with paint, the brush does the work. You can go to OneStroke.com to get more information. Try it! And I didn't major in art.
