I fail every time I try painting, but i want to try this.
Kevin, you forgot to warn beginners of the fumes and hazardous waste they have to deal with when painting with oils! Other than that, great beginners guide! 🤗 ❤️
Would you post some toturial about oil on paper painting please.i mean explain about oilpainting papers pleas.thank you🙏🙏
29:23 😂 I don't have a problem coming up with ideas. My problem is I can't make any of them real.
I literally bought my first set of paint, brushes and canvases 2 nights ago. This is perfect timing.
Carlos have fun!!🎨
Good luck on your painting journey!
Thank you both of you!
I love hearing that! Happy painting!
well done. Now just enjoy
Detailed notes:
1) Acrylics are water based so dry in a matter of minutes. Oils paints are oil based so dry over a course of several days or weeks- depending on the brand, mediums used, weather
2) Acrylics are easier to clean up as you simply use soap and water. Oils are harder to clean, as you use a harsh paint thinner (which is toxic) or baby oil
3) Painting fundamentals in both acrylic and oil paintings are the same. If you can paint a tree on one you can paint a tree on the other.
4) On both, you work from dark to light (though in watercolour paintings it’s light to dark)
5) The difference in drying times means the colours blend different in both paintings. For example, oil paintings dry slowly so the oils blend very very easily. Acrylic paintings dry quick so they can’t be blended and worked through anymore after about 5 mins (but you can use stuff to make the working time last longer, like mister bottles)
6) Acrylics are easier to use when doing darker colours but oils are easier to use when blending (e.g. painting skies requieres blending, and thus oils are easier to use when painting skies).
7) There are two different kinds of brushes: synthetic and natural. Synthetic brushes. Synthetic ones can imitate natural ones so just looking at the bristles is a bad way to tell what the brush is made from. Though, despite maybe looking the same, they will work very differently.
8) Natural brushes are irregular and tend to leave natural shapes when painting things like trees or grass- ideal for trees and grass.Synthetic brushes make a sharp chiselled edge so they’re ideal for things like rocks, and details on buildings and fence posts etc.
9) Synthetic brushes tend to be softer, and natural brushes are either very stiff or very soft.
10) The length of the brush directly determines the softness of the brush (and thus how much the brush cuts through the paint). The longer the bristle, the softer, so the less it cuts through the paint
11) Overall it’s important to have a lot of different brushes to create any certain effect you want to make.
12) As you grow as an artist, you will want to invest in a duplicate set of bushes, so you can have a set for light colours and a set for fading colours. This is so you can quickly jump from highlight areas to shadow areas without having to worry about dirty brushes.
- Tip: use older set for dark and the new set for highlighting. This is because highlighting tends to be softer to the brushes so your new brushes will remain a lot softer for longer (aka keep them new). The older sets can be used for loose broad strokes when scrubbing is required for the under painting.
13) Long handle lengths are preferred because they allow you the hold the brush way at the back for broader and more loose strokes
14) Most commin easels are tabletop easles, studio floor style easles or outdoor/plain air style easles. Easles aren’t necessary but helps with painting. And they last years.
15) Plain air easles are usually thin, boxy and small (designed to be portable). A lot of the time they have a place to screw on a tripod to act as keg
Floor easles are most preferred for studio spaces as they have the widest variety of sizes for canvases
16) What palette you choose is likely the least important choice when painting. You could have disposable palette papers, clear glass palettes, wooden palettes
Amazing
Thank you so much
Thank you 😊
I bought painting things a long time ago (like quarantine last year) but I couldn’t paint, so they’ve been sitting on my shelf! Thx!
Even though I've been painting for a while, I found this a good reminder. Thank you Kevin!
This video is really helpful for me....It's giving me so many ideas for painting, taking care of brushes, choosing canvas.... 👍👍
I'm gonna need to watch this at least 2 more times to retain some of my trouble areas. Thanks Kevin.
Dear Kevin, thank you for the lessons. I never could draw. Someone suggested that I paint. So I started my journey of learning of painting. My hardest struggle is blending. I love, love your paintings. I wish some day I could paint things more enjoyable.
There is no more valuable tip than to blot the oily paint with a paper towel. My paintings improved immeasurably after he taught me this.
KevinOilPainting showed me various paintings, so I can study. I watched it well with full viewing in a short time. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much Kevin. You’ve really inspired me. I’ve done two acrylic paintings, really enjoyed doing them and have had loads of compliments and encouragement. Can’t wait to do more .
Thank you for your helpful videos! I'm a real novice...but I enjoy painting and it has helped me grieve since the loss of my husband. I look forward to following more of your lessons.
I started painting in July of 2018 and you were the first artist that came to my mind when I needed any advise on my work 😁
Great video! I've purchased many of Kevin's lessons, and they are fantastic. More in depth lessons. Thanks for doing this video.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you, so helpful that you broke it into sections to make it easy to find each topic.
Master in landscape oil painting!❤👏👏👏
Awesome beginners guide mate!❤
This is the 3rd time I've watched beginners guide to painting from Kevin hill in the last 6 months. I keep it in my saved videos que as no matter how many oil paintings I do this has something new to teach me.
The video is finally here I've been waiting for a long time 🙏🏼🎨
Very educational. Learned so much from your teaching on this video. Thank you, Kevin!
Your voice is very calming which is nice when listening to an instructor for painting. Was planning to get back into painting and I think I came across the perfect channel. Very helpful. Thanks
There is a wealth of information in this content and once to bookmark. The brilliant idea of applying absorbent paper is inspired. Thumbs up from me!
Thanks for all the great tips. I purchased your willow tree download and can't wait to get started on it. Your paintings are all beautiful!
Awesome advice!
Sounds like he's whispering. Picture of tree behind him looks real☺️
It's nice accumulated knowledge even for active painters, thanks 😁👍
I have been following you for several years and it is wonderful to see your subscription level grow. Congratulations. I would have liked to be able to download a pdf of your beginners video as there was so much helpful information to absorb. Since I have retired I have taken up painting as a hobby and it has given me a new appreciation for art which has been very fulfilling. Watching your videos and attempting to recreate them has been most rewarding and I thank you for sharing your gift. Thanks for keeping your video lessons affordable especially for some of us “older folks” who may have limited disposable income.
Thank you so much for this video Kevin. I’m so hard on myself when I’m not pleased with something that I’ve painted. I’m bad fir not looking at what I’m pleased with or telling myself well it could be better but at least I can paint that stream etc. That I just have to practise more. When I get frustrated then I don’t paint for awhile and that frustrates me to. Vicious circle I’m in. I just need to find away to get out of it.
You have helped me out so much with your video. I’m goi g to try to concentrate more on the parts that I like do that I feel better about my paintings and just enjoy the process of learning. Then I can get excited when something does work out Thank you again
Thanks for this, impulsively decided I want to do painting 30 minutes ago and I have some spare cash to spend on equipment so this is a real help ❤
Great info and advice. You are the best. Love watching you paint. I learn something new every video. Thank you very much for all you do.
You are a great teacher Kevin ,I’ve been watching your videos for years now and have done severals of your paintings 👍🏻. Btw a lot of people in different videos are asking for Spanish subtitles, maybe you can look into that? .Thank you
that would be nice, but he doesn't have english subtitles either. they all will have to be autogenerated by youtube.
Hi Kevin. My mom encouraged me to start painting as a hobby to relax when I'm not working. I've done 3 paintings learning about new items I need to make each of the 3 paintings better. I'm starting out buying starter acrylic paints and a junior size canvas(11x14) to practice painting I find in the kids section of my grocery store but have bought replacement paints at Michaels as well as better brushes to get better results. I must say that adding a palette knife and those better brushes and a Liquitex medium has resulted in a dramatic 3rd painting. I am still trying to understand how to get better clouds as well as wanting to get truer green grass. And I would love to understand how to do a better sunrise and sunset by what colors do I need for those. Keep up the great work!
What a lovely video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I love your style and paintings,btw.
Been doodling sketches and cartoons for years. Looking to get more into painting. Gonna work digitally but I figure learning my fundies on canvas first will be more fun. Thanks for this!!
Awesome video .. really appreciate helping us beginners. I'm looking forward to the journey!
Kevin's downloadable lessons are very good and amazingly reasonably priced.
Oh Kevin, you re amazing, I learned a lot! Thank you so much for this video! 🙏
This is an excellent video Kevin, so much good advice. Thanks for taking time to do this 🥰
Hi Kevin!
First... I adore you. You are just the sweetest fella and soooo talented.
Then I watched you and your wife paint. Then I saw your sweet baby. Goodness I adore you and your family!
Second... thank you for the lessons. I will be purchasing some. I started Bob Ross style and decided I wanted more variety and detail. Along came you. :)
I'm grateful for you! Just wanted to say that. I usually watch you on the tv as i can see so much better yet cannot comment.
I have painted some of your painting. One of them i gave as a gift, its went one of my best Finnish paintings.
Thank you Kevin, wonderful tutorial, your very talented
Wow, exactly what I was looking for! Very informative and helpful... Thank you!!!

I enjoyed listening to this video and will apply some of your suggestions. Thanks Kevin.
Zhe is a perfect painter and guide
Thank You so much for this video. There's *LOTS* of info on it that I never knew. But, if you will, would you please answer a couple of questions for me? It is: How many layers of Acrylic paint can I put on a canvas before it gets to be too much? And, how are you able to paint as *many* layers as I've seen you do while *still* having the "pattern" of the canvas show through? I appreciate your advice and help with these questions, Mr. Hill. And, I do really enjoy watching your videos.
This is so helpful, i am moving to a new style of oil painting and this video and your other videos will help me no end, you are such a gent and lovely man :}
Thank you so much. I absolutely prefer the acrylics oils I tend to make a huge mess with.
thank you Kevin. you are a great artist and teacher!!
I want to learn some painting techniques . 😊 I will buy my first tools and paint soon.
This was so thoughtfully well done, thank you! ❤
I am watching your big fan💓😊
Amazing guide really with all the necessary details, thank you 👏
Thank you for the information . 😊It helps me to understand more .
This video is sooo helpful!! Thank you!! Can’t wait to start painting!!!
All of a sudden & out of the blue I want to begin painting. So strange how our lives change
Sooo... I've gone slightly insane maybe. I keep seeing the most vivid, powerful things in my head. The most beautiful and brutal things a human has ever imagined...
Such a GREAT and HELPFUL video! Thanks Kevin!❤️
Great instructions. I use baby oil to clean also for for special brushes I use clean spirit not as long lasting as white spirit but it’s harmless no smell and better for environment,
Very easy way of teaching thanks love your work
True artists are Nature lover 💚🍃
Save nature ,Save life 🌱
Thank you for this video. I hadn't see this before and it is very helpful. I need all the help I can get. :)
Very well done video Kevin! Thank you
É um grande talento
I don't Know if anyone has ever tried this but dish soap that cuts grease like ajax or dawn will clean oil paint out of brushes!
Very informative and educational, as always, Kevin. One comment regarding water-mixable oil paints. As you mentioned, you felt it didn't work well for you. Like all paints, quantity is key. I've tried a few brands and found Wilton and Newton to be the best quality water-mixable. The cheaper brands tend to have less pigment and can either be too dry (not enough linseed oil) or too wet (too much linseed oil).
Great video thanks Kevin! You are so talented!
Thank you so much for all your help.
The first painting I sold was to my own parents. :D
I am about to do that and I’m really scared so I’m searching up so many tips
The first quilt I made I sold to my best friend.
Thanks for this info. It helps me to get started.

Did you start?
U r my fav. When oil painting comes to my mind,how much time it takes to finish 2ft x 2ft oil painting
Thanks for a most informative video!
Very nice, Kevin. Thank you very much.
Thank u for sharing such valuable information helped a lot
This was a really helpful video. Thanks!
Your paintings are awesome ❤️
Thank you so much ❤️
I really learned a lot. I had just bought a bunch of the water mixable oils. Can I use the gel medium with them ?
Learning that you can clean oil paints with baby oil makes me want to try regular oils after I use up my WMO. I have alot to use up. Once again thank you so much. You are an amazing artist.
Thank u for sharing tips! Feel inspired 😍
Thank you, Sir!!!
Hi Kevin, when do we need underpainting and when don't we? You don't employ underpainting in your works but they still look amazing! Thanks!
Thank you. This was really helpful
Me gusta mucho cómo trabajas tus pinturas fantásticas y tus explicaciones, pero me da mucha pena no hablar tu lengua para poder aprender de tus explicaciones un saludo me conformo con ver como lo haces desde españa
Great video
What about trying to start with low budget materials, like ink and brushes commonly used at school, in the cases that you just want to experiment before start investing in it? What do you think about it?
By the way, greetings from Brazil, and I hope my English is at least understandable.
Thank you for this❤❤
Thank you
Beautiful 👍👏
