dude, my opinion, this is your best work. Not only your painting, but your video and VO too. Keep putting videos out. I find your knowledge and the way you approach a painting is better than 99.9% of the art videos that are on youtube.
"that is the process that I use to create a painting, it's just this continuous breakdown of the large shape to smaller shape to smaller shape to smaller shape and eventually you come up with a fully rendered painting" - THIS LINE RIGHT HERE. As someone with a budding interest to get into painting but has no experience whatsoever and feels like they wouldn't even know where to start... that statement right there just changed my whole perspective on it all... painting is like rendering an image 🤌🏼
I appreciate how you're using technology as a practical tool while not solely relying on it to communicate your idea. That's art. We have to be honest about the role technology plays in the creative process (and communication in a general sense) in order to prevent it from becoming a crutch.
There's no cheating in Art. There's no right or wrong as long as you are creatibg something beautiful which you and others can enjoy. Technology is just another tool inside an artist's infinite arsenal... Damn it, I've seen people making art with the most ridiculous resources you can imagine and the end result is just fantastic ❤️ References are absolutely necessary in nany cases. IT'S ALL UP PERSONAL PREFERENCE AND WHAT MAKES HAPPY WHEN PAINTING 😊 No need to apologize or explain to much to the audience. Your art is awesome. And people don't care how exactly it is made. They just enjoy the end result. Love your content brother. Greetings from the Dominican Republic.🎉
I think this might be one of the most beautiful paintings I've ever seen. It's expressive in form but so 'real' without being at all vulgar, even with a kitchen bin in the frame! It's truly moving. I can't even articulate how perfect this is.
I think after watching painting videos for years, I've found my favorite artist... This painting especially.. just amazing and captivating and inspiring... great work, thanks so much for sharing.
i’ve been painting for less than a year, your work has helped keep me motivated and got me very much into making my own canvases/panels and the diy aspect of it
A few months ago. I am a beginner king who started learning oil painting. I'm learning oil painting Acrylic painting is self-taught. Whether it's oil painting or acrylic, I practice a lot. Drawing It's such a fun and happy thing. I'm so proud and happy to focus on drawing without knowing the time. I've never heard a formal lecture I'm studying really hard while watching these good videos. Thank you for the video. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Really love how you talk through your process as you go. I’ve been avoiding a large painting im working on (largest ive done) and got started working on it after watching this. The constant reminders of not getting stuck in details and working within each shape has been so helpful. This work is great! And so motivating!!
you're incredible. I keep rewinding to the time lapse of the face..the way you made it look so effortless suddenly I blinked and this insanely realistic face was there...wow
you know what they say to writers about writing what they know. this feels like the same, paint what you know, and this has that feeling, chill vibe and comfortable in it.
Your energy in using your paint brush is so smooth,calm and collective to create a work of art of casual form in movement to a free spirit like a willow tree that makes a visionary joy to one's eye.
I loved your video and the painting turn out to be AMAZING! Really, so beautiful to see you working and talking us thruough. Thank you and please continue to paint, wow! Love the girl with the joint.
Wow. The largest oil painting I have attempted is 3' x 4'. Doesn't seem to be very big but I did get lost in it a few times. It's hanging in our bedroom! Your video was great and a teaching tool for me and I'm sure others. Thanks.
The trick with stretching canvas is to stretch it in a pinwheel pattern. Looser pull in the middle of the bars... and pull tighter in the corners AWAY from the center and sides equally.
Just found your UA-cam and love your work! I am sooo trying to get back into painting after 30 years of not doing any art while I was working. I suffer from fear - both fear of failure, and fear of wasting my precious paints.
I can't even draw a stick figure, and have only watched Marko's videos that are remotely art creation videos, so no idea why this video popped up for me ... but I was hooked from the first few seconds with all the technical & personal explanations 🥰

OMG, this piece is amazing, I love it! Lots of info to process in this, thank you so much for explaining your process. A great help for a fairly new painter like me. You did a great job and you should be very proud of yourself! Love your videos! 🌸
Amazing piece. I've learnt so much from this video from; scaling properly which is something i've always struggled with as an artist. The idea of large size paintings and the effect is has on the brain and eyes is brilliant. I never knew that.
New Subscriber Here! Great work! At first I was questioning your composition using a stove but the more you finished the painting I really started to understand your vision! Very impressive free strokes! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
This is amazing. Evokes so many emotions. One, I am no fan of this girl. I know her (not really - more someone very much like her.) But the fact you captured her so absolutely bloody perfectly - I'm in awe. So well done. Thank you for taking the time to document this process. I've learned so much. Also, curious what 'breaking down' a painting entails (re: your friend who you are teaching to paint). Thank you.
you can just water spray the back of your canvas when streched and it will drum up as well, give it a few hours to stretch and if not enough keep spraying water at areas that are still loose
I love large canvas painting in oil... 100% correct leave a painting where you are dissatisfied and it will naw at your soul until you go back and change it or toss it away from sight... the beauty of oil is you can always go back and change it... not easy always but worth the effort... your piece I would love hanging on my man cave wall with the rest of my art...
Agree, rabbit skin glue is the miracle product when stretching a canvas, without it the canvas is always baggy however hard you pull it or key it out. I paint it on both sides and it dries like a snare drum!
Yeah i agree, its way better but i definitely wouldn’t paint both sides. The canvas needs to be able to breath otherwise it can severely effect it later in its life.
Awesome job on this painting! It’s cool to see you working through something so large scale. And good luck with the 30 paintings in 30 days project. I am just wrapping up a similar challenge, one painting a day for the month of July, and it’s been difficult but also helpful in many ways. I look forward to seeing your next video!
What a gifted painter you are. I think most fail to understand that the great masters, when planning a large scale painting, spent longer planning the composition and studying the subject matter than they did painting the finished piece. Sometimes as many as 20 mockups and studies would be done (many of which are sold at auction today as "finished paintings") That why entire books are written about certain paintings.
Just subbed. Great veiw. Lifetime Butcher here, and Big Ups for jumping away from the bandsaw. 36 years otj and always tell peope, the day you're NOT afraid when you turn on the saw, is the day you should quit. Pictures cool too : ) Right on!
Great picture. It’s clear that you managed to capture the essence of the moment and convey certain emotions-like nostalgia and sadness. It’s hard for me to describe because this is something I deeply value in paintings: the ability to capture a fleeting moment, a certain mood, or emotions that are difficult to express. And you’ve truly succeeded in doing that here. I also have a question: I’d like to learn how to paint myself, but I have absolutely no idea where to start. Do you recommend any guides or tutorials? In the video, there’s a part where you’re teaching a friend how to paint-what kind of exercises or tasks do you assign her, for example?
She had some experience with painting beforehand. So we were just breaking down a portrait. I highly recommend @paintcoach he has some great tutorials out there for painters starting out!
Incredible. The composition is magnificent. Shit man. Good work. Also, your videos are more helpful than most. I didn't get a classical painting education but your videos have the effect of an accelerated apprenticeship program.
Beautifull!,. thanks for this amazing challenge on such a format!,.. thanks for your teaching,..You should learn from Rembrandt a while, to learn about light versus dark,.,...Have a blessed painting- future!
dude, my opinion, this is your best work. Not only your painting, but your video and VO too. Keep putting videos out. I find your knowledge and the way you approach a painting is better than 99.9% of the art videos that are on youtube.
Agree at all

Count me in!

i love how the girl is lighting the joint on the stove lol. such a great idea for a painting.
lol and here I am thinking she is lighting the stove with a joint.

Painting is such a gift… Watching it take shape it’s just a miracle!

Share if you ever want. Would love to see it!

The constant reminders of not getting stuck in details and working within each shape has been so helpful. This work is great! And so motivating!!
9:35 - 9:57 brought a tear to my eye. Something about watching that hand come to life and the flame being added in just made me emotional.
This piece is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! More videos like this please. Love love love. Excited to check out the prints on your site.
please let handmade things like this become popular again...we need it.
you're incredible. I keep rewinding to the time lapse of the face..the way you made it look so effortless suddenly I blinked and this insanely realistic face was there...wow
I absolutely love this, and so happy to see the hand revision, that was impressive. Beautiful job!!

favourite piece you’ve made so far. making me consider taking painting more seriously.
Beautiful work! I only ever paint on a much smaller scale, so it’s really fascinating to see how you implement things on such a larger scale!
It’s really a lot of fun!
I loved your video and the painting turn out to be AMAZING! Really, so beautiful to see you working and talking us thruough. Thank you and please continue to paint, wow! Love the girl with the joint.
Amazing!! Very fun video to look at and listen to. Like the little pieces of advice that you give along the documenting!

What a pleasure watching you, and your narrative was great. I'm not an artist but both my sister are, so I greatly appreciate your site and your work.
It's been a while since I've stumbled upon such an amazing video on UA-cam. The painting is incredible. Watching you create it is very satisfying
That’s absolutely amazing and astonishing.
Love this Painting and the process video. I really enjoyed it.
What a dope painting, what an amazing reference photo, and you showed us your mistake. This is awesome
Yeah, have to show the whole process
Amazing piece. I've learnt so much from this video from; scaling properly which is something i've always struggled with as an artist. The idea of large size paintings and the effect is has on the brain and eyes is brilliant. I never knew that.

Your process and approach to you paintings is very inspirational, very impressive work.
New favorite artist alert 🚨 incredible work and your subjects/scenes speak to me so much…i think anyone that’s lived in NYC can really relate

You’re a beast! What painting is to you perfectly represents what life is all about. Just awesome!
This is beautiful. Great work!
the way you capture atmosphere is amazing
you can just water spray the back of your canvas when streched and it will drum up as well, give it a few hours to stretch and if not enough keep spraying water at areas that are still loose
The SECOND you laid down that black- OOF what a sexy wash
This painting is amazing, one of the best I've seen
30 paintings in 30 days might be really crazy depending on the size. Good luck, I´m exccited to see all those paintings
I loved the whole process and the final result. Thanks for sharing this with us!
I’m in love. Stunning piece.
I love large canvas painting in oil... 100% correct leave a painting where you are dissatisfied and it will naw at your soul until you go back and change it or toss it away from sight... the beauty of oil is you can always go back and change it... not easy always but worth the effort... your piece I would love hanging on my man cave wall with the rest of my art...
This is incredible work! Thanks for showing the process! This is very helpful. I’ve been struggling in scaling!
Glad you found it helpful!
Loved watching this, thanks from Australia.

Yeah i agree, its way better but i definitely wouldn’t paint both sides. The canvas needs to be able to breath otherwise it can severely effect it later in its life.

feet shots are crazy, however, you are absolutely a great creative. love your masterpieces keep it going!!

11:23 mins in and ur an absolute god. great video and panting style
30 paintings in 30 days would be cool. I've been doing a painting nearly every day for a few months and really enjoying it
Awesome job on this painting! It’s cool to see you working through something so large scale. And good luck with the 30 paintings in 30 days project. I am just wrapping up a similar challenge, one painting a day for the month of July, and it’s been difficult but also helpful in many ways. I look forward to seeing your next video!
I recently had the pleasure of viewing some of your works and was immediately impressed. I’m interested in purchasing a few of your pieces.
What a gifted painter you are. I think most fail to understand that the great masters, when planning a large scale painting, spent longer planning the composition and studying the subject matter than they did painting the finished piece. Sometimes as many as 20 mockups and studies would be done (many of which are sold at auction today as "finished paintings") That why entire books are written about certain paintings.
Beautiful painting! Thank you for sharing your work ; good luck selling this! It’s such a unique POV!
Thank you for documenting your process! What a painting!!! Love it. Please do more!!!
Just subbed. Great veiw. Lifetime Butcher here, and Big Ups for jumping away from the bandsaw. 36 years otj and always tell peope, the day you're NOT afraid when you turn on the saw, is the day you should quit. Pictures cool too : ) Right on!

Absolutely phenomenal Thom ❤ thanks for sharing, I find your process meditative to watch and I learn so much every time! Beautiful work.
This is insanely impressive. I am going to try my first painting for my art class and this has inspired me so much. Thanks man.
Stunning!
Incredible work. I'm just getting started at oil painting and your videos have been so helpful. They really inspire me to go bolder and larger!
