Andrew
When I see how you paint, I feel like a beginner. I am sixty-seven years old and thirty-six years painting, and I am not ashamed to learn from a young master like you. How lucky to have met you. Thanks for your teachings.
Respect
this is such a sweet, wholesome compliment.
Come on!
r/wholesome!!!
So you started painting at 31..I'm 29 and am now starting
@@joelglaud i m 26 m also starting now..
Yes finally a fully instructional video that’s not boring
Hey Thanks very much!
Seriously! Sucked me in more than Bob Ross! Amazing painter and such a kind and humble guy.
@@AndrewTischlerArt talk about a back-handed compliment😂...oh oh, I see! He means everyone *else's* portrait tutorial is boring so now finally one that's not. 😂I was gonna say!
After watching this video could you do a painting like Andrew
C O L D B O Y HOOLIGAN right? I feel like it’s nice to get a fresh take
I know this is an older video,but I had a tip to share. When using those cheaper brushes from the hardware store the trick I learned is to wrap a bit of painters tape (sticky side up) and tap the brush on it on all sides a few times before you use it. That’ll pull most if not all the loose bristles out for you. Hope this helps and thank you for all the help these videos give.
thank you for sharing!
Thank u ❤ I just got rid of cheap spalter brushes , because the loose hair I could take off with a pincet from the linen 😵💫
Thanks
"Eat more salsa, it'll help you with your painting" that's heavy, Doc.
That comment made me laugh. I love how he can be serious but throw in a funny line every now and then. :D I want to be just like him one day! :D
If you avoid processed sauce and prepare your own with natural ingredients, you will have to buy new empty bottles.
Spicy fresh salsa might stimulate the creative vibe 😆
Interesting!
Allen Rodgers and dance more salsa it keeps those musculos in shape lo lo
Andrew, I know I have said this before but your talent is amazing. And your willingness to share it with us is very humbling. Thank you.
Cheers George! Thanks so much mate, always a pleasure. :)
Andrew Tischler can i have a dollar
George Dalton hello
Don’t believe for a minute that he is not profiting off of this. Yes he loves painting and sharing with others but with CZcams and sponsors it becomes very profitable.
George Dalton hello
Born teacher, born artist..... what a wonderful talent you have. Bravo young man. I will be trying the grid as you showed it. Many thanks.
Very true!
I can tell just a few minutes into this that you are a great teacher! You explain and demonstrate things so well while speaking clearly and maintaining good eye contact. I like the skulls you keep your solvents and things in. You are very self protecting by wearing gloves as common sense would dictate. It also looks like you keep your supplies in good order, I know a university professor who got cancer by painting large structural pieces and canvases over a fairly long time by not practicing ways to protect himself. It’s so important.
Thank you for this video. Your work is exquisite, and we are lucky to be able to meet you and see your great work. Thank you very much!!!
My late mother was a fabulous portrait artist & restoration artist~ she would have agreed with me that your tutorial (I just discovered & watched you for the first time today)is absolutely stellar. Your skill as an teacher is only surpassed by your skill as an artist ~ phenomenal!
She looks alive, and I can see her emotion, even though it is just paint on a canvas. You are a true artist. Amazing.
Mixing the tone color with the thinner instead of clumsily glopping it on way too darkly and usually messily? Mind. Blown. You're so amazing.
I noticed no linseed oil used..right?
I think the thinner helps it dry faster for the under paintings.
Andrew, you are by FAR one of the best channels on CZcams.
I'm 77yrs.old . I've been painting in oils & One Shot enamels since,1958 We had no gloves & I even rub the paint in with my hands.I do enjoy your videos.Great work.👍
Thank you so much for this channel, Andrew. I am soon to be 67 and I have been drawing portraits since I was six. I have never had a lesson. That is something I have bragged about at times and also secretly wondered if my parents and I made a giant mistake. You addressed that very issue in one of your videos and I can not thank you enough for settling that question for me once and for all. I am slow to give praise but your work is stunning. You have joined my short list of favorite artists and you give me something to strive for in my old age. As an American now living in Florence, Italy, what better place and time to find a teacher and get back to my own art. Grazie mille maestro!
I’m 27 just now decided to try to learn painting. I can’t afford art school. I have so much respect for an artist that isn’t able to go to art school but is able to create beautiful pieces. Im also very thankful for this master giving us his tips and knowledge for free. He is very Helpful for people like me who want to learn but for circumstances of life can’t afford to go to school for it.
Andrew, you're an extraordinarily talented artist and an absolutely amazing teacher. I bought your Winter Landscape tutorial and I have watched it about 3 times in its entirety. That is a master study in mark making. Your portrait tutorial is no doubt as informative. I appreciate how you describe what you're doing so articulately. There is no waste in your explanation; rather, it's tight, efficient and effective. Thanks so much for sharing!!
I think it's just so sweet how he is excited about painting, and making those videos. I want to start learning realistic stuff, and I think I'm just going to binge all his videos.
I’ve never seen this channel before and 15 mins in and I’m hooked! Thank you so much for this amazing upload, can’t wait to watch all your other videos! I’m a newbie and this info is invaluable to me ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are a distinguished and creative artist and have a great spirit by offering you what you have learned over the years and cost you a lot of effort and money, put it free for everyone to benefit from, thank you on behalf of everyone watching your videos.
OMG the canvas comes alive with just the brown tones! I love how you off lay the background to create highlights! Also I never thought about laying colors in the same order every time on the palette. So many fine tips. I love Waterhouse and all the Pre-Raphaelites. Your work is stunningly beautiful!
Andrew Tischler is now my online art teacher this quarantine..
Genuinely the most helpful, high quality art videos I've found!! Seeing the colour of the toned canvas is inspiring me to paint on leather!
Gridding up what used as far back as Rembrandt, et al. Nothing to feel off about gridding up.
Research has found that the Egyptians used grids as well
Agree! Proportions are my weakness so gridding is very useful!
Hal Jordan Guess we should go tell the ENTIRE ARCHITECTURAL COMMUNITY to start "drawing" their blueprints and just "hope" that their proportions are EXACT. Who gives a F#%* how you get your proportions accurate... if it works for someone, it is THEIR art. Period.
@Hal Jordan most great artists used grids in some stage of their work,they are looked down upon by uneducated people only.
Afaik Jan Vermeer for instance even used a primitive (well, i guess it was high tech back then) projector.
Another wonderful video lesson preview. I will be buying this to go along with some of your others. Thanks for sharing!!
It is just beautiful to see your brush strokes creating the tones.It is utterly beautiful.
Wow. The way you revealed the highlight using the turps was mind blowing! I would never have thought of that. Thank you for an amazing tutorial!
some of the best painting videos on the internet thank you!
Your explanation of how to do the underpainting and using the grid was so easy to understand. Also your explanation of toning makes me want to try it more often. I'm a big fan of Waterhouse, thank you for paying homage to him!
holy... this tutorial is probably the best there is on painting portraits.
You and Micheal James Smith are my new heroes.
I am in awe! Thank you so much for a terrific tutorial.
Your explanation of toning your canvas (linen) taught me a lot.
It's one of the most beautiful paintings I have ever seen.
Thank you I finally have found someone who explains well and simple I’ve been doing art since I was little and I’m getting into painting once again and I think oils r going to be my medium I’m looking forward to more of your videos
I was amazed by the hard work you exert and the dramatic changes in the skin tone. I also love the tips about freehand and grid stuff and zooms in the subject photo. I've been practicing right now and your video is the most informative so far. I was glad that I wake up halfway through your video cause my youtube kept on playing when I was sleeping. wish I could have that angled brush.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Clear tutorial with lots of helpful advice. I am just getting started learning to paint portraits and I learnt so many interesting tips from this, and it's great being able to watch the whole process as it comes together. Thank you!
Your understanding and description and knowledge of color is so fascinating to me. I love how artists see differently and all details. Really incredible.
I keep watching this video over and over. I absolutely love the instructions on your technic. Thank you
Wow! Even the tonal painting is fabulous!
This is like watching an incredible documentary! Sucked me in more than Bob Ross! Lol. Amazing painter and such a kind and humble guy. Thanks for putting out these free tutorials for us mere mortal painters. 👍
Love the gridding method! It’s a great way to capture allot of detail with accuracy! I always teach this to my students
Thank you Andrew, your videos are very inspiring. I stopped stretching and painting like 20 years back due to no time working in the mine. BUT NOW STARTING AGAIN.
Thank you Andrew. Your generosity is obvious. Your talent is amazing. Thank you for helping all of us. Bless you!!!
Andrew, I can't wait to get my personal 'art space' completed (I'm building a small art studio for myself) so I can turn these amazing tips of yours into reality when I start portrait painting again (after a 20 year lay off) Your videos and dialogue are captivating me in the meantime...what a phenomenal talent you are - thanks!
Thank you, gosh I can see and understand exactly what you are saying and I'm a beginner portrait painter. I like the flair of how you do things and how you describe it to us. Thank you, I really enjoy your videos and classes.
Where have you been all these years....you are simply the best🙏❤
I've always had trouble understanding color theory the way it was taught in schools, but the way you talk about tones? I was able to see it right along with you! It's starting to make so much more sense now! Thanks!!
I really enjoyed watching the way each brushstroke somehow was a caressing and a sculpting making the face appear like by magic. Beautifull image and I truly liked the colors in the process - for me more beautifull than the reference photo - and what a brush and admiraler brushwork
I truly appreciated how easy you made blocking out the color tones of the face in this instructional video. I am attempting my first portrait now and can see how I really need to bring my shadows back into the face. Thank you.
WOW, you are incredibly gifted
Love how encouraging you are!!
I just finished my first portrait painting and I really wish I could’ve saw this months ago, would have helped me so much, my instructor was trash. Wonderful techniques, you are a beauty for this. I will forever use these techniques from now on!
I've only just found your channel and it has become my bible!! I'm a young artist and new to oil painting and your videos are so helpful! Thank you Andrew :)
I was jaw dropped with your final outcome. you are amazing.
Just wonderful to watch. I am in awe of your talent Andrew.
Just finishing watching this on my TV, using my phone to drop a comment. First off, You're GREAT! AND...Thank you!
I was just browsing CZcams and your channel randomly came across, I Havent been able to paint or draw, type, etc... in over 5 years, After losing nerve damage from 2x brain surgeries back in 2015. This is the 3rd video I've seen this evening of you, and you just really gave me inspiration to atleast attempt to get back into art, I havent had much of a purpose since going out on disability from the I.T. field.. as I can no longer fully use either of my hands and my epilepsy.... long story short, I LOVE your skills man! Thanks for the inspiration, my friend! I think I just may be able to atleast TRY to use my hands for something good again, and art has always challenged my fine motor skills. I'm no professional but I used to do some sketching, cartoons, and shading, I had just gotten into oil based paintings on canvas a year before my brain surgeries. This just brought me back! Again, thanks for the inspiration and I'll be a constant observer. I've always wanted to be really good with paint, you make it look so easy!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🧘🏿♂️🙏🏾✌🏿👍🏿👍🏿 #BeautifulPicture #GreatArtist #MadSkills #Blessings #KeepUpTheGoodWork
It's amazing to see how you're channel has grown. I've been watching since the start and constantly rewatching for reference. Thank you for all this. It's invaluable.
Thank you i was looking in the internet for Days to find you. I stoped portrait painting and missed it very much. Your tutorial makes me comfortable enough to start again!!!
Thank you Andrew. You are a fantastic teacher! Your explanation is very thorough unlike most artists who create a time lapse video. Enjoy watching your tutorials.
Your traditional painting techniques have helped me enormously with my digital painting. Thank you so much for these wonderful tutorials!
That's awesome! I never thought about that before.
Such a joy to watch you work
What a legend - great to see someone who is truly talented yet humble and unpretentious - watched a few of these now - superb artist ✌️💪
thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
I am brand new to painting. Love your tutorial! Lack of music in the background is WONDERFUL! I look forward to studying under you!
Tiscler and Waterhouse!! Two of my fave artists. How exciting this is! Thank You!
You helped me a lot with the grids. Using a grid is what I did in high school on a painting of Picasso’s Guernica. I was really happy with it.
Thanks for sharing this information with us.
A big 'thank you' for the video...and hats off once again!
Your explanations are the best I’ve ever seen on CZcams, thank you so much (ps : Waterhouse is my favorite painter too ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️)
Thank you for existing !
As always a true professional that inspires me me more than any other artist. Never tire of your tutorials.
Brilliant class Andrew , so clear and explanatory , full on information with brilliant delivery , Please keep them coming , invaluable to all the "triers ".
You have been the best painting tutorial I had ever come across on CZcams thank you so much.
I admire you greatly,you’re a master and I knew that your photograph was based on Waterhouse’s portrait,I truly love Waterhouse and the pre-Raphaelites in general...you are a brilliant teacher and I thank you so much for this fabulous class.
You have a very magical brush. When I was a child, I painted with watercolors. There is, however, one step forward with oil painting. The work you did was amazing, and I really appreciate it.
Algorithm guided me to your video. I enjoyed watching the video. . Thank you for allowing me to meet artists from all over the world on CZcams. . Stay healthy.
Freehand is also my to-go method. I guess when you are making big paintings, to be accurate in the measurements you have to measure it. Love the video
Another great and informative video Andrew. I like the fact that you used the grid even though you advise against it or using it as a crutch. I must admit that I just started using a grid for portraits myself! Even though I've been drawing/painting for over twenty years at this point I use it more as a time saving tool than a crutch. I like that I can get a great likeness in a quarter of the time. What I keep in mind when griding is that I only use it in the section that I need a likeness I do not tie myself to "copying"the image to a tee because as you mentioned, if there's a flaw in the reference image and you're too tied down to the grid you're just going to transfer the flaws.
I don’t know why aren’t you in every tv channels around the world yet, but your time will come young man; you are the best of the best, And you are so humble and handsome. You were born to be an artist to touch and change people lives by helping them discover talent and passion regardless of their ages. Thank you. You should be in the wall of famous artist of time.
This is the best video lesson I have ever seen by far. Impressive. Amazing.
This was very helpful. Thank you!
There's something very real and engaging in the way you teach. As someone who struggles with auditory instruction, it's refreshing to find a person I can learn from both auditorially and visually. Thank you so much for your kind and thorough instruction!
Thanks so much! I am still striving to improve both!
Love love love your videos . I don’t think I will ever get close to your artistry but I learn so much from you . Thank you for keeping art and the artistry alive . You are a true master. Very few of you .Many are artists . You are a master
That composition of the picture does express depth of feelings, how it’s.a great video. Great teacher!
Amazing! Thank you. I can't believe this quality of teaching and talent is free on youtube. Its a gift! I love Waterhouse too. :)
Same thing I was thinking when I stumbled onto this wonderful artists channel!!👍🏿✌🏿💯
Andrew, you are truly AMAZING!!!! Thank you always for your enthusiastic approach and passionate attitude towards life, learning and painting. Gridding, drawing freehand, eating salsa, I will take whatever path gets me to Master Tisch-like art.....finding my way thru your leadership.....many many thanks!!!!
Thanks so much Angela! I really appreciate that! :)
Ok, You are Fantastic in your portrait of the dark haired beauty! Such detail... the eyes with the tears , and including the freckles , and little skin imperfections of the model, the depth of colors all through the painting, highlights of the hair, pure realistic genius ! I enjoyed your two portrait tutorials. I find myself anxiously looking forward to watching for what you show next. Have to add the portrait set to my library. Keep em comin’ , Theresa
It's amazing to watch you paint!
Too good to comment. Another masterpiece and left in awe.!!!
Brilliant! I've learned so much in this short version of your oil portrait painting.
Same thing I said !!👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿✌🏿🙏🏾
Since I have been using your techniques my paints are popping with colour . Thank you my friend!!
I get so mesmerised by your videos Andrew. I think the most important accolade to express in this short comment though is that you so thoroughly enable people. You do it so seemingly selflessly and enticingly. I am grateful to you and hold you in great esteem. Good on you!
I'm 34 but when I was 18 I did choose Art History and not Beaux Arts at the University and I kind I regret it and I don't know if is too late now to recover the lost hope or if my work will be good enough. What you do is a beautiful magic! God how you mix the colours is amazing. Is a pleasure to watch you. Thank you!
Dude you got at least another 50 years of life ahead of you, of course, you should go for it. If you don't do it now, then in 10 years you will regret it just like you do today, saying that you were young when you were 34.
My mom had to wait until retirement. She was really good at watercolour after a few lessons. If she'd started at 34 I can only imagine how her life would have panned out. Never too late xx
@@deblloyd74 Maybe I need some guidance or a master to learn from, I'm 35 now lol Time flies! Your words are really kind. Thanks a lot.
I hope you're still painting. Check out books by Todd M Casey and Juliette Aristides. Helpful to artists of all levels. It's a lifetime project, hopefully the most enjoyable one.
So just got 30 and decided to try it out : really cool and it not hard at all, it is basically using your eyes, your hands, and your time.
You need to be recognized as a genius, your painting was amazing even before you you added color in fact I think you are a John William Waterhouse of this era. Amazing
I'm blown away, that picture is amazing. What an amazing God given talent. Thanks
this is amazing, never saw flowers so realistic before
Amazing 😍
Maybe a tip for those who do not like turp, thinners and so on: I often use water mixable oil paint for my paintings, and I am very happy with it. (I don't have to wear gloves when I am mixing and the drying process is much shorter. ;))
Sir Andrew, I am a first time watcher of your Amazing Tutorials though I am a Long Time lover of Portrait Painting. I very much enjoy following and hearing your direction and know I would love and will enjoy your teaching to come. No one,can thank you enough can thank you enough for sharing with us your talents, there is something just Great in your demeanor that is very enjoyable and you cover us beginners as well as those that have been following you for a longer time! Thank you again...
Andrew, great video and tips. You are very generous sharing in detail the process of a painting. Thank you!!
Thank you again my Guru. How can I manage without your encouragement. I will be gridding up too.
I have that John Singer Sargent painting in the background.
P.S. you inspire me so much and I hope one day I can develop the skill set you have. Please make more portrait videos!
Love those skull jars! Just starting to use oils after years of acrylics. This is brilliant, Andrew. Thank you
Thank you for giving such a detailed description of the oils you are using. Overall, your video is excellent!
He sounds like an Aussie who is getting an American accent. Nice art lesson.
An American getting an Aussie accent is what I was thinking haha! I guess it depends on where you're from. So, is he American or Australian?
@@callmejackaroo4723 American moved to Kiwi-land at age 10.
@@Pfirtzer Australia, Perth specifically, not Kiwi land.
Yes LOL. It's just the Rs that are American. Usually people who go to the US add in the Rs to be easily understood. But apparently it's the other way round
ITS FREAKING ME OUT AHHHHHH
