  • In this oil painting tutorial I'll show you how to paint trees in a landscape scene. We'll explore how to paint trees in both the foreground and background using photorealistic painting techniques.
    I'm a professional landscape artist with over 20 years of experience in oil painting. My CZcams Channel is dedicated to helping people learn how to paint in oils. I really believe that everyone can learn how to paint!

    Jesus Man, your work is some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Your background music adds just the touch. I do believe the entire world is impressed.

    This is incredible. Idk how I've never seen your work before. I'm fascinated with trees & clouds & what you just did with these trees taught me a whole different painting technique. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 😀😀

    Never painting before. Jumped straight into digital dainting. Years later (3 years) been curious about how real paint works. I'll try to replicate your technique in Photoshop and see how it works.
    I really thank you for zooming in so we can see how those pigments actually look like.

      Art by Scout Dawson oh please save it , just cuz YOU didnt like digital painting doesnt mean it's inferior in anyway to traditional painting , it IS done by hand , just the medium is different, just like you feel special trying to put down digital art cuz you're doing it the " traditional way" ,im sure the old men who used to paint 1000 years ago would also not have really great remarks about your work since you didnt do it their " traditional way" by actually creating colors instead of getting them in tubes LOL

    Wow!!! You're truly blessed! I just came across your videos and absolutely love your paintings! I put down my brush because of chronic Lyme disease. My hands shake, but with your great technique and beautiful realistic style, I want to paint again!!! I'm a fan for life! God bless you and thank you for inspiring me again!!

    Finally ! An Artist who I can appreciate and learn from. Beginning oil painting and so many of the instructors only do underpaintings, at least that is what I call the "unfinished look" Photo realism is where my artistic heart lies.

    I was so glad to see the monitor that has a picture of what you're painting. I always feel like I'm cheating when I find a picture on the internet or take a photo of something and then want to try and recreate it with paint. I guess it doesn't matter where the inspiration comes from as long as you're inspired! Great work! I look forward to more videos!

    Awesome! Great thanks Michael, to your efforts to enable us - insider painters to learn how to acquire painting techniques. You give us this opportunity to try to advance our paintings.

  • @GlennGuillorySFO
    @GlennGuillorySFO Před 6 lety +1

    Totally helpful, to the point and specifically what I needed now in my painting. I appreciate your brushwork. I also appreciate your vocabulary in descriptive terminology about the items you paint, as you seem to be able to use words like 'canopy' that expresses an image of an umbrella shape or broccoli canopy of green...whereas other teachers might use terms like 'the patch of green" your way of wording things makes your illustrations​ much more valuable...helps cement the information into place in my mind.

  • @carole.kratzkd6992
    @carole.kratzkd6992 Před 7 lety +1

    Thank you so much,I've learned a lot! I do the whole process like you demonstrated,even to the jam jar lid for a container! I don't squeeze out nearly so much paint,and find clearing up easier too. The acrylic blocking in has been a godsend. I don't find starting a painting so daunting now. Brilliant tuition.

  • @MrRokitrod
    @MrRokitrod Před 7 lety

    The finished areas are fantastic and I can't help thinking that in all of your works, the acrylic underpainting with the first thin shadow areas scrubbed in oil, is so strong and they could stand alone as 'finished' impressions. Like you I have an end goal of the completed work , though it is a testament that you have strong values blocked in that it's tempting to put them aside as pictures in themselves and do a duplicate to completion. For you, this is probably not practical, if not for pure economy of time and materials. Thank you for your thorough instruction, both in painting and video technique. The production is a sum of the parts. Cheers, from Australia, Rod

  • @muskokamike127
    @muskokamike127 Před 2 měsíci

    So many paint dark -> light but I've found I do that, but then go back to dark to "fix" up some of the shadow areas....on distant trees, I'll do blocking, then the black/dark green texture, then the highlights then go BACK over it with a small texture brush and it makes the highlights pop.
