- Beat up Howard and Kevin. They are too freaking picky.
- You are awesome, good teacher.
- I use a separate sketch paper first, then paint.
Same😣😁
I think you're already providing everything I could possibly want from this channel. Your guidance, your insights, your art, your humor, your development, your friend hoodie. I couldn't possibly ask for more.
agreed
except for more hoodie. never enough hoodie.
YOUR FRIEND HOODIE
i'm screaming.
Agreed! I didn’t expect to learn so many techniques from this one video. She explained it in such a simple way.
This is crazy good timing. I was trying to find tips and techniques for acrylic. I always do watercolor and I just don't understand how to paint with acrylic for some reason. So thank you again!
Holly Carlile Omg same! I always work with watercolors and when I pick up acrylics I just get confused.
Same! I’ve tried acrylics a few times but they always dry so quickly, leaving me feeling rushed, and I’m still figuring out how to blend them. Obviously acrylic is a beautiful medium, though, and worth trying!
this is me also! i ran out of watercolour paints and only had heavy body acrylics i love how they blend but was just lost.
Haha same here! I asked for acrylics for my birthday and then had absolutely no idea how to use them because they are so different to watercolour. I've just kept going at them though and I absolutely love using them. I'm so excited by Robins new video 😍
Holly Carlile same here
At last someone who's answered my questions about actually working with acrylics rather than just showing off their skills - thank you!
What if you made a Bob Ross paint-along type video?
It would be funny thing to watch
hoodie painting along to a bob ross video
I meant more like we would be able to paint with robin, but that would be fun too
Just follow bob ross XD
She is actually better than Bob Ross.
I was looking for an art video to watch at 3 am before bed, perfect time to upload!
Looking at this comment again, I feel like it sounds sarcastic but I wasn’t being sarcastic in the slightest, I was legitimately scouring UA-cam for the perfect art video and couldn’t find something that was engaging but relaxing at the same time aha. Loved this video robin, and the new upload schedule sounds great!
Okay, I should probably head to bed now.
Shrek gud night my frend
You described exactly what I’m doing except it’s 5am, oops
Feeling my inner picasso at 2am for me 👩🎨
honestly loved this. it's so nice seeing someone approach an art tutorial with such a relaxed and embracing tone. none of the 'you must follow this rule and don't paint this colour over this!' talk just genuinely so calming and encouraging, a massive 'just try it out for yourself but this is what works for me' vibe. i've loved all your videos so far but if there's more like this as part of your plans for the future? then i'm excited
It's always happy time when my favourite art youtuber uploads a video. Your videos got so much quality over the time but this time you took a huge leap. I liked your new idea of weekly subjects. It's as if I'm waiting for my favourite show on tv. I also loved how you explain us everything throughout the video. Job well done.
Kübra Özyurt couldn’t agree more!
Very much agreed.
when video actually starts : 2:21
Tysm
THANK YOU
Thank you, I don't get what's with women artists and their endlessly talking, why not just get to the fucking point? every damn video is like this
@@DGP406 damn why don’t you chill and stop bitching about it
@@DGP406 men artist do it too? It’s entertainment
I had no idea you would put colors like pink or yellow into a blue sky or white cloud!
The first time my granddaughter saw me wet my paint brush before using acrylic paint she exclaimed "Gramma, those aren't watercolors" 😊 I always start with a damp brush, maybe I shouldn't try oils after all haha🤗
I learn painting from You Tube
Bob Ross
Kevin Hill
Michael james smith
And especially You
First i used ordinary Windsor and Newton
And now i use Acrylic... With same technique as painting with oil (wet on wet) and it's cheaper since my magic white is water and sometimes super white wall paint.
You're great
Everytime i watch this channel... I learn something new.
Thank You
Best regards from Indonesia
Theres a top video with 1.6 million views who didnt even know what type of canvas she was using, i couldnt stand listening to her then clicked this... thank you. This is straight to the point from someone who has passion.
you are the reason why i still get inspired you don't know how much it means it helps me to not focus on my cancer or health issues.
Ahh, your paintings are always really great! Before I found your channel, I hated having to draw any scenery at all, being someone who mostly studied how to draw humans. After watching your videos, I realise that having a scenery would add depth to my drawings. Thank you for inspiring me to go past my comfort zone and strive for much needed improvement!
"Clouds are not just white." Needed that reminder. Thanks, Robin!
I love the additional color you added to the clouds, I thought it made them much more realistic because it added a ton of depth. Thanks for the demonstration!
Thank you Robin. Love the direction you are taking. I’m 63 and just getting started at doing what I have always wanted to do.Art. I look forward to learning from you.Have a beautiful week with your family.
I would follow you twice if I could! You're the best artist to follow! Your art is amazing and your tutorial and tips are so informative and concise. Thank you!!!!!!!
I have no words. You are a really great artist. Thanks for the techniques!
Those weekly video topics are SUCH a good idea! love you!
I remeber I came for tips, stayed for hoodie, and now I am loving you and your passion. Honestly, is not just a painting tutorial channel, is a beautiful human sharing her passion with thousand more people. I just cant get enough of your content and the stories you share
You have honestly been my Bob Ross. I started painting for the first time last year when I was very very sick, using it as an escape really. Unfortunately I was so so bad at it lmao
Your videos have been so helpful, and honestly uplifting even. I love all of your work from your realistic landscapes to your stranger lil critters. I think it'd be really cool to see you do more work with different mediums, especially watercolor 💕
I watched this more than once. Well worth it! Thanks
excellent video, you're a wonderful teacher!! one request/suggestion: could you put in a little clock in the corner that shows the real elapsed time? my biggest problem while learning acrylic has been paint drying so fast, so i'd love to get a better idea of the real pace you're going at. if possible!!
subculturebutterfly that's ridiculous...you can't learn that way...you need to get familiar with the paint...each brand is different...the atmosphere in which your working is different as far as drying Times..next people will ask how many drops of water or medium she dabbled her brush in...omg!!
I really love hearing how you work in your process. What you are thinking about as well as talking about your technique. Thank you for sharing a thoughtful video.
Hi Robin, love your humor, thank you for the tutorial. I am an artist but have never worked with this medium. I can hardly wait to apply the techniques you shared, very insightful.
Week 3 you should do a vlog or something! Just the random behind the scenes life of an artist/slice of life sort of things that you can really limit your effort on
It's nice to see some tips and tricks because you don't do them a lot and I'm really happy that you made one because it's sooo much helpfull !!!
I'm not a beginner, but I have to be honest. This is the first video regarding acrylic on YT that's actually helped me. Great job.
Thanks for a video like this and I'm looking forward to more. I haven't been painting long, and one of the things I've had to overcome is concept that painting shouldn't take very long.I had it in my head that a "normal" painting shouldn't take more than an hour. It was really helpful at the beginning of your video when you said that this took almost three hours. It puts into context the time it really takes. The rest of the video was also very informative. I enjoyed being in the mind of a painter as they worked through a piece, especially when you went back and worked on the sky more at the end. A lot of times, I will "finish" one part or a painting and then later think, "too bad that part is done, I'd really like to change it." I'm really learning a lot from your videos. Thank you!
As long as you're content and happy, anything you want to add is accepted. I love the ideas you've implemented, and this was a very helpful video. Thank you!
Podcast style is great- I love to listen to your advice while doing something with my hands, be it embroidery or tidying up! Your videos are very inspirational.
I would like practical tips on overcoming fear of starting, and how to know when to come back to a piece and what more it needs. Hope this makes sense.
Thanks for all your videos xxxx
I feel like you're my Bob Ross 😂 I love when you upload, and the weekly topics are brilliant! All the components of why I love watching, thank you for being so dedicated 💝
I love how long you have come, you have worked really hard and we see that!
I love love love this painting so much. The little strip of orange elevates it to a higher level.
I tried recreating it but it was so difficult omg
Everytime I see you paint I am utterly blown away by how talented you are
I really appreciate you showing all your sped up work!!!!! It was so helpful! You teach so well and are so super talented!!! Thanks for this!
This tutorial was PURE GOLD. And those weekly video ideas are SO GOOD. Love you❤️🙌
You really don't need to worry that you are not doing enough. You've helped me a lot in many aspects of painting.
I am no beginner artist. But i have always had trouble with paints. Thank you for making this video
i come to your channel for your amazing personality, hoodie videos are my favorite
Just wanted to let you know I appreciate you taking the time to do this. I've been painting acrylic (seriously) since 2016. I worked for one of those wine & paint companies for a year, then decided to go another way. I got into digital art, but something about acrylic landscapes keeps me doing those. After you've worked at one of those places you get the appreciation of being able to do a painting in 2 hours or less. The problem I found was that as an artist I wanted to IMPROVE from that method of fast pace and work on more quality paintings. It's hard being what I'd consider Intermediate and wanting to move into advanced. I can never really find anyone who wants to show the alternate techniques or how different they can be when working with acrylic. For example I do have a hard time blending on a piece that's already dried, but I also work on hard board canvas so it doesn't usually work adding water because it likes to sit in all the little spaces and it drives me up the wall. The last part of this is also that nobody really taught me how to color blend to the exact color I had before. So that was a whole new level of irritation I could have done without. Your color mixing is a whole new level for me which is awesome. Just, THANK YOU. Thank you so much for letting us see more and wanting to share your knowledge with us. It does make a difference.
Your videos have been the most helpful so far, thankyou so much.
Amazing video you are a natural born teacher.
I want a day where you teach us like we are in 6th grade art class like today. All this organizing and goals are overloading my brain. I enjoy whatever you give us.
The week by week format sounds AMAZING! I can't wait!
I love that new plan! Just wanted to say a big thank you for helping me improve my art skills and experiment more! 😊
Girl, you rolling down that hill had me gAgGiNg.
Robin I'm loving all of your new artwork and videos! I'm loving the direction your taking with your art career!
OMG THAT'S AN AMAZING PAINTING!!! I love working with acrylic, so I kinda like to get that more painterly effect and kind of emphasize my brush strokes, sometimes anyway lol. But anyway, the advice was still super helpful... can't wait to see your next video and I hope you have a wonderful time with your family!
So helpful to see you work on your palette!
I never been to your channel before but i really like the workflow you’re establishing and this video was helpful!
This is absolutely beautiful! I haven't painted clouds in a hot minute, but they've always been one of my favorite things to paint
IM SO EXCITED. This sounds like a great line up of ideas.
Yes! I've been missing these types of videos here. And I like your plan for the channel. I think it's a good direction.
"Probably since....forever" lol! Great video, thanks for sharing techniques.
Being someone that has only really worked with watercolor and was looking for the nitty gritty stuff about acrylic, this was just what I was looking for
I'm so glad you're figuring out and improving you're channel!! Looking forward to new content, I love your art discussions, and crazy challenges!!! 😆❤🎨
I'm really excited about this line up! Can't wait to see your future work!
She really makes it look easy
Robin I wish I could love this video more! I don't really know what to say but somehow this video what exactly what I was looking for!
I love this idea! Whatever you think is going to keep your organized and help you grow!
Wonderful, thank you for taking the time to make this.
Like the other commentor, I've only used watercolors and gouache and need to know basic acrylics for an art therapy class Im taking. This feels doable and similar to my landscape painting. The darks first isn't in my wheelhouse yet so just watching you helps.
Honestly so helpful! I’m trying to put together my portfolio, and this has helped me so much! 💕💕Hopefully the judges like my portfolio and I get into the high school I want to! Thank you so much 🙏🙏
This is fantastic. I love these kind of videos!!! I've never taken an art class but I have talent (so I've been told) so these kind of videos help me not only understand what I'm doing already, but also how to improve it. I'd love to watch a video solely on brushwork/strokes! Your videos are so fun, and I adore your channel as a whole. Your personal journey has been encouraging and endearing, watching your skill grow and change has been amazing and your personality keeps me coming back. Thank you and I can't wait to see hoodie again. Lol
Keep it up. 👍💜💜💜
P.s. I'm working with oils and it's been great but I think I need some help, so I'm looking to become a patron! See you there soonn
I absolutely adored this video - it was very clear and concise without being too simple! I really appreciated the tutorial and I'm super looking forward to everything else you do on this channel. Thanks!
I'm just starting to paint and this is the first video I found and I think you are going to be really helpful!!!
Wow beautiful vivid painting. I would love an entire wall mural just like that.
GOD YOURE SO GOOD AT PAINTING!
This was one of the MOST helpful videos i have ever watched in my life. Thankyou💙
i got here because I just started up using acrylic, but I stayed because of her very enjoyable and funny antics😍👍
I just found this channel and honestly I'm glad I did. Love the energy you give
Thank you so much!
Wow this is awesome! Right on time too, I haven’t been painting as much as I want to and just the other day I decided to paint. You’re a huge help! Thank you for your guidance
Beautiful. That painting is amazing. Funny and informative video too.
You're a very good teacher! Love your antics too!
I have to say that I absolutely LOVED this video, even more that others, and I can't wait for more! you explain everything so well and your art piece was very inspiring! now I want to go paint something and try your suggestions!
Thank you soo much for this video. I always wanted to learn to blend acrylics. Honestly this is the best youtube channel for art tips. Thank you so much. Love you.
YESSS!! Bob Ross style landscape painting!
You could do that or you could do whatever you want whenever you want and take time off whenever and I'll show up whenever a video gets posted :) and I really love this painting!
Love this! Love learning techniques with acrylic!
THANK YOU FOR SUCH INFORMATIVE VIDEOS!!!! I used to hate painting 'cause I was so terrible at it, but then I took some of your advice and became WAY better and now I can't stop painting! I like to mix my acrylics w/ water and treat my paint as if I was using watercolour 'cause I like the smoothness. I've been struggling, trying to make more realistic paintings and this video was very useful to me. Keep it up!! You deserve more subscribers and views than any other art channel out there!
You've inspired me so much! Keep it up!
🤗 fabulous teaching, back to re-watch x
Wow... So memorized by this. I am just starting my painting journey and I hope to someday even get a tiny bit as good as this. So beautiful!
Love the green and the grass in this! So good! Subscribed!
Love your channel!!! Great tips!! So much fun!!
I am soooo hoked on your channel! So relaxing to watch and listen to your instruction. Thank you!
Thank you for this video!!!!! Having a whole video dedicated to watercolor would be awesome too because I love the look of watercolor but never know what kind of art I should tackle with it.
Stunning!
I love your plan, and I am so excited for your tips and techniques!
Yes great tutorial!! Easy to understand. Love all the elements of this one and the realism. BTW whoever was under the actual cloud in the reference photo you were using was probably getting some good cloud to ground lightning. Looks like a pretty decent thunderhead in this painting.
This gives me such a better understanding, thank you for making these!
This was fun to watch! You're a good teacher. I use watercolors, but I'm always interested in how other mediums work, and you work with them well! The piece is lovely.
Just in the nick of time! 🙌❤️ thank youuuuu! ❤️
This is my favorite painting of yours good job Robin!!
OMG this tutorial was so great!! It is just want I want to learn and you taught so well! Didn't know you can paint acrylic on watercolor paper. Thank you so much Robin
i love your videos and even if it looks like a lot more work for you, i think it is really helpful that you are telling us exactly what you are doing.
Yes educational videos!!!!! I appreciate you so much, I’ve learned most of my painting knowledge from you. Love you!
These are some great tips, presented in an entertaining way . Thanks so much Robin!
