i started a secret oil painting for my friend over in america of her new lovely dog for her birthday present yesterday, and you magically produce a video of you oil painting!!!! peter! are you spying on me?
Peter I love how comfortable with yourself you are, your realness is such a breath of fresh air on sites like UA-cam. Thanks for keeping it rough and weird.
I can so identify with this. Art teachers themselves can be such know-it-alls and not know anything..not really. Art is all about instinct and everyone has that to some extent. However, if Peter started up an Art class it would be over-subscribed with a waiting list of about 10 years!😄
I spy, with my little eye...a steam locomotive cresting a hill. "I think I can,. I think I can. Chooo choo! " Another beautiful creation of yours! Thank you for sharing.
Peter, I can't draw, but I can paint (sort of). The fact that you have been doing this for so long, and that it is so widely accepted, is amazing inspiration. Congrats!
My art teacher at school does this all the time 😑 he grabs the brush of his student and just starts drawing in the students drawing! He changes our own style into his style, I really really don't like this
Doodle Time tell him that changing your students art to be the way he wants it is wrong. Real teachers don't do it for you and they don't snatch something out of your hand. I'm kind of glad I am self taught/ UA-cam taught. Because I would lose my shit on someone for doing that.
I've seen some art teachers who are pretty full of themselves and arrogant. If he's still doing it and it's really bothering students maybe complain to the principal. I'd be really upset if I someone did that to me. Or before he gets close say "don't even think of touching my work "
Believe it or not, Riteasrain, red yellow and blue are not primary colors. There are two sets of primaries, one for light, and one for pigment. Lights primaries, as I'm sure most people are aware are Red Green and Blue. when you mix colors of light, you are using a process known as additive color mixing. Red+Green makes Yellow, Red+Blue makes Cyan, and Blue+Red makes Magenta. When you use pigments, it is the other way around. You use subtractive color mixing, and thus the primaries become secondaries and vice versa. Magenta mixed with Cyan makes blue because the Magenta pigment absorbs the green light of the Cyan and the Cyan absorbs the red light from the Magenta, leaving only blue light to be reflected into your eyes. The same goes for Cyan and Yellow making Green, and Yellow and Magenta making Red. There's your science lesson for the day. Edit: This goes for paints as well (they use pigments too, and thus follow the same rules). The reason art teachers teach Red, Yellow, and Blue is because, in the early days of painting, It was incredibly difficult to find Cyan and Magenta pigments in nature, so they used tints of Blue and Red instead. Hence Red, Yellow, and Blue.
Nate Sanders. Magenta, cyan, yellow are used in printers, that's my point. As for the rest, you're preaching to the converted, quite familiar with all that. I'd rather just paint 😆
I recently started to paint with oil too. So nice to know that even you had trouble starting to use oil and made such a great piece of art with it. Impressive!
I had an art teacher who did the same thing so i just quit asking him questions because I didnt like what he would do to my paintings but was afraid to paint over it. Love your videos!
I like your glasses. Also, I've been intimidated by oil paintings and have stuck to acrylic and watercolor ever since I started arting, but maybe I'll have to give oils a try.
Like how you worked the paint on the canvas, shifting it around and adding/changing areas. Yes, that comment about the tutor taking your paintbrush - I DETEST when tutors do that !!! Bah humbug...
Peter, are you using thinner alone to reduce the viscosity of your oil paints? Odorless mineral spirits are great to use as a medium but ONLY in combination with some sort of oil, (I would recommend linseed oil!). Otherwise, you may find that using too much mineral spirits for a medium will make it difficult for the paint to bind to the surface. I have seen paintings that flake and dust away because of this mistake. Typically, when using oil paints I have 2 little jars, one filled with odorless mineral spirits by itself to use as a cleanser for my brush or to wipe elements away on the surface, and one with a combination of odorless mineral spirits and linseed oil to act as a medium. I love your work and I am SO happy to see you trying oil paint!
Also - one of my favorite professors of all time would occasionally put his hand into our paintings / drawings in class to demonstrate technique or what have you, but ONLY with 100% expressed permission before hand. He would always say "can I make a suggestion", followed by a verbal suggestion. If the verbal suggestion doesn't make sense he would say "can I draw / paint on your drawing / painting?", in which he would always repeat with an "are you sure?" before making any marks. I can see why for some this is a total no-no, and for many people they did say no! But for me, the few times I have let him demonstrate on my own piece of work it has always with purpose and respect, and I appreciated it.
Oh and Peter, one more thing! And I hope you're reading these but if not maybe it will be useful to someone else. Gamsol, aka the odorless mineral spirits you are using, are very flammable. To the point that they can actually SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST if soaked onto a crumpled rag or towel. SOOO - always make sure that any discarded materials containing oil paint or especially the thinner are discarded in OSHA approved receptacles (theyre usually little red metal trash cans with foot lever thingies), and if you are using rags to wipe brushes, never ever leave them wadded up. Always hang them up to dry on a rack, or else risk ruining your entire studio. A local artist once forgot to hang a single rag to dry, and left it wadded on his workbench. It spontaneously combusted and destroyed his whole studio with all his work. Be safe Peter! And get some linseed oil!
oh MAN my friend had that issue when we were seniors in high school, she would come to me ranting about the senior art teacher who would randomly scribble paint in my friend's sketchbook to get her to stop drawing and do something else to help her D:
I was sad because my parents won't let (pay for) me go to art school until I get a general AA but then I saw your video and it made me forget. Thank you
Like the new specs....very smart. I went to an art class once. I was standing in a circle at my easel when this guy walks into the room in a bathrobe. There was a small square day bed in the centre of the room. He took off his robe and sprawled out onto it. He was nude. He proceeded to manouver himself into a position where his head and 3/4 of his torso where over the side of the bed and Mr floppy and friends were upside down...and i know painting the nude is part of art...but there was something a bit off with this guy ....I never went back to that class.
last year i asked my art teacher for some tips on how to fix part of the background of something i was working on. he told me to "move", sat in my seat and proceeded to paint over Half Of My Painting which honestly I thought looked better before he redid it
Analise Pepprock wow that's just wrong... Why are there no math teachers completing work for us? Lol Seriously though this is ridiculous I'm mad just reading it... What happened to people just in general like a big line blurred and they think it's really ok to do insulting, misleading, and just plain messed up things to others.. But to have it done by a teacher that's just a huge violation I think. Really though, can math teachers start doing this 😂🤣
My art professor also takes my pencil or paint brush or whatever I'm using and completely draws over my work so now I cant even draw in the class because I dont want her to do it again. I totally agree that it's a no no
Raven, not sure what you mean. Water mixable oil paints are a relatively new invention. Somehow they figured out how to change the molecule of oil so that it can mix with water. No need for any highly toxic painter thinners and solvents with them. Pretty interesting stuff if you ask me.
I wish you a well ventilated room. (Random note: I once started accidentally doodling on my sketchbook with oils and I had to stop using it because of the really bad smell...)

Peter Draws love your videos👌upload more
Does the secret have to be art related?
i was scared but i wrote a secret ! its in yr hands now - Seth
J.Sheetz - Artwork I checked out your drawing and it's awesome!
i started a secret oil painting for my friend over in america of her new lovely dog for her birthday present yesterday, and you magically produce a video of you oil painting!!!! peter! are you spying on me?
*_Whatever Peter does is art in its purest form._*
Peter when cleaning your brush remember you gotta beat the devil out of it.
Dont you ever art on my art
your dialect upon showing and talking about these many steps is so genuine, most interesting
Peter I love how comfortable with yourself you are, your realness is such a breath of fresh air on sites like UA-cam. Thanks for keeping it rough and weird.
You just helped an anxious teenage girl to finally art again. Thank you Peter! No more excuses!!!😤
That is indubitably satisfying, you genius carbon based life form. Thank you for making my day
Yes! We need more Peter Paints! 🎨😄
I can so identify with this. Art teachers themselves can be such know-it-alls and not know anything..not really. Art is all about instinct and everyone has that to some extent. However, if Peter started up an Art class it would be over-subscribed with a waiting list of about 10 years!😄
I love how you can see in these videos how the artist always changes their mind about the painting
such wonderful curly hair.
Lee Fin
Ikr !
I spy, with my little eye...a steam locomotive cresting a hill. "I think I can,. I think I can. Chooo choo! " Another beautiful creation of yours! Thank you for sharing.
I love you, Peter. Thank you for your contribution to the interwebs

Revengence Raven we already told him but he doesn't seem to understand it. It's a bit better now, but he still does it
Doodle Time man this is why I'm anti-social lol people just don't listen 😂
Gather all the students and hold a boycott. Or a rally.
I've seen some art teachers who are pretty full of themselves and arrogant. If he's still doing it and it's really bothering students maybe complain to the principal. I'd be really upset if I someone did that to me. Or before he gets close say "don't even think of touching my work "
love the colors
You don't art on someone else's art. Nope. never.
art mating lol
Get these three colors, Magenta, lemon yellow, and Cyan blue. Your mixes will be happier. black and white too, sure.
The true primary colors
Nate Sanders
Nope. They're printer colours. But using these 3 for painting really does work.
Believe it or not, Riteasrain, red yellow and blue are not primary colors.

Yeah, sets of primary colors = primary colors. Primary colors.
And the award for best human being alive goes to...drum roll please...peter from peter draws!
I've never taken acid but I feel like I don't need to when I watch you
lmfao
I would say it compares in feeling.
Except you don't forget about yourself when you watch peter
Thank you for all of your videos. I have watched over the years and always enjoy hearing your reflections on the creative process. All the best. :)
Bloom bloom like a spring during spring.
A new vid from you always makes my day better :)
At the beggining the painting reminded me of the cover of the album 'Bastards' by Björk. Very cool, Peter!
The light blue color in it is my favorite
I really like those glasses Peter!
I LOVE YOU'RE ART AND YOU'RE GLASSES
Im happy you've come into the colour world with us ! It really was worth exploring as well as lines are
Great video! It's amazing how you can turn random lines on a page or canvas into amazing art. You have been a huge inspiration for me thank you Peter.
It's always fun to watch your video.
The painting turned out really good
Wow! This is incredible. Your channel has really made me love abstract art
I recently started to paint with oil too. So nice to know that even you had trouble starting to use oil and made such a great piece of art with it. Impressive!
You look pretty in this video, and your glasses are neat
You look cool with those glasses
Glad you're back
Your such a good artist! I love your art , and just watching your videos!!!👌 keep going !
How I do love those curls. ♡
Quickest I've seen a video after posting! Please keep arting, your inspiration has a far reach :) thanks
Looking great As always Peter
I'm in love with this man bye
I had an art teacher who did the same thing so i just quit asking him questions because I didnt like what he would do to my paintings but was afraid to paint over it. Love your videos!
Note to self: taking Peter's brush is a "Swollen No-No" xD
Peter, your hair looks lovely! See, all that prior preparation prevented piss poor performance!
peter, you use colors i would never DARE to use; but damn, you make them look good.
p.s. is that how semicolons work?
I like your glasses. Also, I've been intimidated by oil paintings and have stuck to acrylic and watercolor ever since I started arting, but maybe I'll have to give oils a try.
he was born to love art
peter You're a creative G my guy
I really wanna buy one of your drawing/paintings so bad! Your style is just so powerful I love it.
You could make a tutorial for using oil paints and all these chemicals, then we have no excuses anymore:)
Yes but he would just make an excuse for not lol
oatsman thanks:)
Wamuu - Divine sandstorm I'll search for that :)
You’re amazing Peter
Peter you are fantastic!
PETER, we need more twitch streams
i like your new glasses and your new painting!
God, the things I would give just to meet this cool dude and make art together for a day...
Cool glasses, Pete
mixing paint on that neon palette has to be some next level guesswork =)
Luv you Peter I’m watching your vid in my math class rn❤️
Like how you worked the paint on the canvas, shifting it around and adding/changing areas. Yes, that comment about the tutor taking your paintbrush - I DETEST when tutors do that !!! Bah humbug...
Hello I'm a new subscriber I wanted to tell you that your are is the reason I get inspired to make new art and to try to make cool and nice art

Very Munchesque! Fun!

I like your glasses!
I CLECK EDS FOR PETER.
oh MAN my friend had that issue when we were seniors in high school, she would come to me ranting about the senior art teacher who would randomly scribble paint in my friend's sketchbook to get her to stop drawing and do something else to help her D:
Thank God, I was this {} close to rounding up a posey and going on a Peter search !
I was sad because my parents won't let (pay for) me go to art school until I get a general AA but then I saw your video and it made me forget. Thank you
"if you're just gonna talk and demonstrate things, I could watch this on UA-cam... With no pants.." well said Peter, well said 👏

Have you ever take psychedelics to get inspired to draw those pictures? They always look so trippy i really love your art!
Do it ma man!
The new Bob Ross
Awesome sauce
I've been painting these last few days for my final project in college, it's been fun :D. Although I wish it could have been a bit more abstract.
Like the new specs....very smart.
I went to an art class once. I was standing in a circle at my easel when this guy walks into the room in a bathrobe. There was a small square day bed in the centre of the room.

Another great video!
Lena danya has a great oil painting video for beginners if you're ever looking to dive deeper into the medium ❤ beautiful piece!
Try out water mixable oil paints. You might like them.
--Whispers-- Don't do it, Peter, don't do it.
Aydee Derix, what's so bad about water mixable oils?
WATER mixable OILS? Doesn't that defeat it's own purpose?
Raven, not sure what you mean. Water mixable oil paints are a relatively new invention. Somehow they figured out how to change the molecule of oil so that it can mix with water. No need for any highly toxic painter thinners and solvents with them. Pretty interesting stuff if you ask me.
Yay a new video
PETER THE SEXY MAN IS BAAACK
Oooooohhhh! LOVE! ❤
very nice
peter, twitch misses you.
Could you make a video on the excuses used for not making art? That _could_ come in handy sometime.
I wish you a well ventilated room. (Random note: I once started accidentally doodling on my sketchbook with oils and I had to stop using it because of the really bad smell...)
What are those glasses? They're cool!
