Hey! Want to take your art to the next LEVEL? I make videos sharing vital painting techniques.
I'm Andrew and welcome to my channel! I just love to paint and I've been a professional artist for nearly 20 years. Teaching is my passion; after a thriving career I've decided to give back and share what I have picked up on this journey. Here on CZcams I share techniques used by the old masters, across a wide range of subjects. We will also dive into the materials used in painting, and how to wield them with mastery! I will even feature content specifically designed to help you with your art career, with Q+A videos.
If that sounds like you, then you should SUBSCRIBE and join me on a fulfilling journey of creativity and discovery.
I looked at my portfolio from Art College, I had a bad time during that course and was bullied because I was from a poor family, second-hand clothes, and granddad's toolbox, and I made a portfolio from two plastic street signs wired together. I also travelled in by bus for two hours of my day sitting on a bus. The rich kids in class had the latest clothes, brand-new art equipment, cars and money. They really gave me a hard time, and it hurt. Halfway through the course, I had depression and I had two jobs at the weekend paying me a pittance. Even the ladies in the refectory serving food used to deliberately forget to run the till. So I looked at my portfolio, photographed it, and I went into the garden and burnt the lot, It all went up in smoke, it was a cathartic process, and now my art means more directly without the weight and overtones. I am an artist on my own terms, have my own studio and not making any money, but each piece scares another demon away.
❤
❤️
Wish you best luck and a happy life
Just an idea...painting and making art for children brings back the joy of living, run away from the sinister adult world.
Good luck and all my best wishes for this new year and for all of life.
From Algeria.
What a story.
Be proud of yourself man. You had it rough and you came out the other side.
Oh Andrew, if only the rest of us had the eye, talent, finesse and ability you have had all along. Your worst is miles better than a LOT of other artists “best” !!
Yes, true. Andrew may push himself a little too hard ?
Yes, I was thinking that too.
Including myself…😅
@@andrewhart6377 I think that seeing an artist roast his own work is not super helpful. I had a hard time in art school because the critical eye everyone casts around was so weighty. I became an art teacher and make a point to try to encourage people and keep things very positive all the time. i just enjoy life, getting to build kids up all day and tell them how amazing their artwork is -it the best. If this young Andrew was one of my students I would be soooo frickin proud of him. It hurst me to see him hating on his own work like this.
I constantly find your art and attitude inspiring. When I was very sick 5 years ago and stuck in a wheelchair, I discovered your CZcams videos. I was a musician and played the cello, but due to my illness became unable to have that kind of dexterity anymore, so to help my creative impulse I started to colour in pictures and after seeing your work, to paint. I love to do it and it's all thanks to you and a couple of other CZcams artists who are generous enough share their talents and time over CZcams. Thanks you so much. It was great to see your journey and where you have come from. Keep them coming!!!!
Your work from way back then was amazing - it shows your journey from then to now. I had natural talent as a child and did nothing art related all through my working life. I started painting 2 1/2 years ago, love it, and mourn for all those decades where I could have developed my skills and knowledge.
Hey, no regrets, OK? I got back to making art 4 years ago, but I enjoyed the stuff I was doing before that as well. It informs you as a person, gives you a point of view, and makes your art unique!
So many of your 'okay' ones are actually pretty amazing we think :) Thanks for sharing....
The inspiration and confidence boost for me is that "Oh wow... Andrew Tischler is human!" moment. I had a similar moment in one of your video tutorials I bought. There was a stage where you decide you have "made a mistake" and not happy with an eye position. You rework it and turn a good painting into a stunningly good painting. That knowledge/evidence of master artists recognising or feeling a mistake, not worrying about it, and DOING something to correct it is priceless to me. You've shared stuff over the years that has been so crucial. Thank you, for so many times I gained knowledge or confidence from your content.
You were good in your younger years but compared to now, there is no comparison. Your work is just great. Being so passionate in your craft really shows and everything you do.
I was glued to the screen absorbing everything you created from an early age. You were born to paint . Loved watching your talents unfold . You have worked hard to get to where you are now. BIG THUMBS UP!!
Thank you for sharing
I've been painting for 60 years and am not sure if I'm a real artist yet. The masters were so amazing.
I was impressed with your art projects, even from a younger age. I really liked the way you drew the frogs and other animals, and I especially liked your dragons and the detail you put into them. I too started drawing from a very young age, I have a book of my fathers from 1925 that has crayon scribbled all over the front. He started teaching me how to do cartooning and then I would draw Lady & the tramp and other pictures when I was in grade school. He taught me how to draw a man coughing his teeth through clouds of smoke. Thank you, Andrew, for showing your portfolios.
I make myself laugh when I look back at my high school and early college art. What an ego, and I was no where nearly as dedicated to my work as you. But what I find interesting is the mental and emotional self view we have as artists. I'm not nearly as egotistical about my work as I used to be, which is embarrassing at present, because life tells you, you're not the worst, and sure not the best there is. Just keep on working. Do what inspires you, do the best you can, and occasionally, paint from raw emotion, ( great therapy if you're angry.) just don't stay there. Interesting where we will all be in 20 years.. maybe a less because we never know when our time is up. Thank you for sharing.
You are blessed with a lot of talent and the most important is that you didn't waste it! Absolutely love your old art work!!!
I was stupid enough to stop drawing or painting when I was 13 years old, it was communism time in Romania and no one cared about art (no art classes in school after 7th grade). I had to study to get in to a good High school and after that I had to study to get in to a good college to have a good job so I will be able to survive. And life happened and I found my self at the age of 50 thinking that maybe I have a little bit of talent that I can use to do something for my self so I am somewhere like you at the age 13-14. I wasted all these years! I encourage now every kid I see having a little bit of talent to not stop drawing or painting,
Never to late. There a lot of artists that start drawing and painting at a old age. One of them was the guy that made snoopy or was it Garfield it was one of the two.
Some don’t even discover they have talent till a older age.
Keep doing it now and enjoy yourself.
You are way...WAY too hard on yourself. You have every reason to be incredibly proud of yourself. For such a young person, you were determined, passionate about the work, serious, and tenacious. How many young people do you know who have those attributes? You were in the 99th percentile of young people with motivation. Your work was excellent as a young person, and it sold. It is absolutely amazing and unprecedented that you landed as many commercial gigs as you did. You got people to believe in you. All of your tenacity has paid off. Now, you're a seasoned artist. Nobody can take that skill set from you. You paid your dues, climbed the mountains of success, and EARNED every bit of accolade. I'm jealous as hell. Now, quit berating yourself and let yourself feel like a million bucks. There are people who would give their teeth to accomplish what you have.
I appreciate it! Though, it's the hunger for being better that has driven me. Take the "disparaging" away and what would I be? Still, point taken.
he still can get better, but is very good, that´s the true artist spirit.
Andrew you had me laughing til I cried at your comments. I found your past work incredible and you are a true inspiration to me to just keep at it, learn and practice! Loved taking the trip down memory lane!
Thank you for sharing! It was so evident you would become one of the best artists of our time; your passion and practice made that happen. To top it off you seem to be a very nice person - the world needs more like you! Blessings to you and your family.
Looking back at your early paintings was a great idea. We all get to view YOUR progress. I think the very best was the statement that you were interested in the Earth!! I am still laughing at that. Thanks for your honesty.
i wish i had all my drawing saved since i first started in elementary. The few that i had in highschool were buried in a volcano eruption that took my small town in 1991. After that i stopped drawing until got inspired to pick up the skill in 2016 and saw some your works and videos later on. I hope you can continue to motivate and inspire artists by the way you share your experiences and techniques.
Thanks for sharing Andrew. It makes beginners like me want to persevere, we see that with pugnacity, work and self-criticism it is possible to progress well.
Wow that was Awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Loved seeing these! Nothing like a trip down memory lane!
So dept at so many different styles. Now you have created your own & it's wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Very inspirational.
I think they are awesome paintings. Would love to see one of those old paintings done again. I bet it would look completely different.
Fascinating looking at your old work and inspiring - think we can all learn from looking at our previous efforts - I now do most of my work in small sketchbooks (efforts good or bad, all saved), and it is interesting to look back at stuff and maybe consider how it could have been tackled a different way. Thanks for your videos and hope one day to visit your gallery.
This is just a 'humble' brag. Obviously none of this sucks, even to someone good at art who is looking at it critically.
I was really hoping to see some mediocre to marginally okay work so that I could have some hope to finally improve dramatically from where I am. Oh well. It was nice to see his beginning work but I see that I need to improve my beginning work tremendously in order to be even a decent beginner.
Andrew,
I absolutely have loved your work from the first day that I laid eyes on it. I too was an aspiring artist myself in high school but a car accident took me "out of the picture" for a long time. However, IN the last several years since I've retired, I have gotten back into art again. I'm not at the point of having a dedicated studio, but I work in my office as often as I can. Mostly colored pencils, charcoal and pastels and watercolors.
When I came across you on the web, I was flabbergasted at the quality and scenes of your work! I immediately signed up for your first lesson, but I came to realize that I have a long way to go before I can even begin at the beginning. None-the-less, I keep watching what you do with the hope that I can get to that point of learning more and doing more with your classes.
I've begun to sell my art again, and have started some commission work, but I really don't prefer commission work. I like my own ideas too much!
Thank you for showing your older work. It really helped me think more of my own work and inspires me to keep moving forward. If you are ever in California again, I would love to meet you. That might be a stretch to ask, but it would be a joy for me. Thanks again. Jack Northart in Orangevaie, CA.
Keep going dude! You just inspired me.
Thanks Darcy! Let me know if I can help any other way!
The oldest picture of mine that I still have is from 1976, but I was 22 then! Really enjoyed looking through your work , you should be proud of them.
G'day my friend, Happy New Year. What a delight it is to reminisce about your artworks and take a metaphorical walk down memory lane. I was scribbling simple childlike drawings from around the age of three, myself. I just loved to get the pencils out and scribble on sheets of paper at every opportunity. It's feels great to look back and reflect a little. Having seen some of your past works from your portfolio being shown in this video, one can see that you were already developing your style for realism. These pieces you looked at were and are truly amazing. And look at you now, Andrew. How you have endeavoured to become a first class artist today and a truly great artist and a gifted instructor. There is always something to learn from you Andrew. Not only have you demonstrated, your many talents from painting to carpentry and from sketching to frame making and so on, but also your talent for podcasting to educator. Like so many of your followers, one would love to meet you in the flesh, so to speak, that is the extent that people, including myself, absolutely love you. Your enthusiasm, your dynamism, your genuiness and your incredible talent keeps us coming back for more. So Andrew I thank you for everything you've shared over the years and now I am asking you when are you going to write your book and share your story including your early years to the present. Don't tell me you have not thought about mate.
Much love and respect to you and your family. Till next time. Take care n keep safe. 👍💯❤️🖐️
Thanks for sharing some of your old work really love all your sketches and drawings
This was a real joy Andrew! I've been watching your videos for years now and its lovely seeing how far you've come and all you've accomplished. God Bless
That was fun to see. I think you are amazing; then and now. So nice to be able to see artists’ work and processes via CZcams. You are a favorite.
Loved this video. Even spotted the family in the newspaper article. Also noted several artworks we have at home on the wall today. Do you recall painting Mimi dog? That has pride of place in our lounge. The journey continues. Well done..
I remember it all! Very grateful for your support and friendship in the early years. Regards to the family!
Andrew, this is a great way to start a new year. Looking back on your history and remembering the journey you have been on can be a real inspiration for any future works, not that you need any. I am part way through Milford Sound on a 5ft x 2ft board, it’s not going to be a true representation but it will be close. The composition of your video paintings is amazing but for me it’s the technique in mixing that inspires me to try something new. I’m really new to painting and still very much at amateur level so seeing your journey or part of it is very inspiring. Thank you.
Really enjoyed seeing your beginnings. Thank you.
Thank you so much for posting this. It is really important for other artists to share their journey and how they have progressed along the way. It is really helpful that you reflected on your work at the time from a more experienced perspective and what you did or didn't know at the time and what you know now. THANK YOU!!! I really appreciate you showing photos of your first exhibit/artist folio, and it is really inspiring to me to keep painting an to just keep going and get better.
I enjoyed this video thoroughly and your comments like "what's next - sport" or "I'm not into dragons now" made me lough out loud. Your relaxed version of Tisch gave a glimpse of a humble, complex and funny person and I'm grateful you shared it with the public.
It's really great seeing your evolution over the years! I recently found one of my first watercolour paintings, ironically from 2000 too! It's really AMAZING going through the achieves and seeing the growth and stylistic changes.
Absolutley briliant! Andrew thank you for this video. I wish you powerful creative projects and great success in the new year!
Wow, Simply remarkable. And to hear you say that you wished you went back and practiced says a lot. You have Put in so many more hours and it clearly shows! But the fact that you wished there was more is so inspiring.
I am so glad you have your work and growth documented. It is so easy to make light of our talents. You have been on a path and have a long life of painting, and sketching ahead. I loved this. Now I don’t feel guilty about how packed my storage room is with my past. I am going to creat some portfolio books like you have. Thank you❤
Thank you so much for sharing that Andrew. Brilliant to see where you were at all those years ago. The talent was there even in your teens
Thank you, I loved spending this time with you and sharing in your past works and thoughts however, I feel like I’ve just begun to grow and I’m now 74 and still learning. Your a great inspiration and encourager, thank you again, art is definitely a work in progress’s that never ends!
Thank you for sharing your creative youth, Andrew. Your honesty and humility shines through. I learned a lot of things from you today.
It's always good to see how far you have come in your art journey, no matter how many stepping stones came along the way.
That's brilliant and amazing that you have all these archives. I'm pretty much retired as a graphic designer but my first love was always painting and drawing. I'm doing much more of that now for my Etsy shop but wish I had as complete an archive as this. I have very little of my art school work and nothing earlier. Like you, I was driven to draw as a kid. Love your work and the channel. All the best.
Looking back at your earlier stuff is always illuminating. I hold on to a few pieces that represent turning points and pieces where I finally grasped some concept. And I make a calendar every year for the family, mainly so they have to see what I´ve been up to! But it also serves as an annual report to myself, and I can see my progress over the years. I can laugh a little at my earlier stuff, but feel good that I am continuing to grow in skill.
Watching this was a wonderful lesson on what it takes to succeed. I do feel you had an artistic eye and innate talent early on, but must have had a strong urge and desire to let what was on the inside come out and express itself. You also persevered and kept at it where so many give up. So many of us let life get in the way and stop that desire from manifesting or don't take the time or have the discipline to go on. What's incredible is how you organized and catalogued your works and were also writing business letters at such an early age. I was fascinated that you tried all the mediums, apparently a young creative energy bursting out all over. You had that rare combination that yielded one of the best artists I know of. Thank you for taking us on that journey and seeing how you progressed as an artist. Bravo Andrew.
Oh my goodness this made me giggle so much!! Found it so lovely and relatable 😁🙌🏼
Thanks for sharing, lots of experiences, and effort, a journey that has led you and us where we are today. The best thing I learned from you is that you didn’t let the talent police dictate to you what to love doing. We have to grow enough to be our original self and accept ourselves irrigardless if others do not.
You're gifted and you use you didn't waste your talents, which made me truly admire you! btw, I love your artworks a lot! They are always inspiring and amazing.
Dit is echt ontzettend leuk om te zien! Fantastic!!!🤩
Good morning Andrew Thank you so much for your You Tube channel Came across it and l am glad l did I am 69 and l have started painting again So much l do not know and you have taught me that practice is so important . Love your work and you have inspired me I never thought to keep my old work Wish l had l am a mother of 11 children Art was left behind for awhile lol God bless you and your family
I think it is very beneficial looking back at past visual diaries which reflect on the creativity at the time. It almost marks a place in time where you can see how you were processing your creative thoughts and inspiration. Pivotal moments in time for me was when Phil Stanley (Churchlands S.H.S. told me to go outside and grab a twig? He then told me to get a bottle of ink and draw with it! Certainly messed with my head, but loosened me up to relax into my Art. I have to say, like you Andrew, my passion for drawing and art started at a young age and to some degree, I was not always shown the various techniques required before being able to run and explore my art at High school. It is something I really try to show by demonstration firstly with my students because of my experience. Funnily enough, I was thinking the other day, what your High school Visual diary was like and Bang! there it is on video, so Thankyou. Wishing you all the best for 2023 Bro' and much art making.
wow, lovely sharing your earlier work, huge talent even in your earlier days, my art folio was eaten by insects while stored in an downstairs basement, a real shame for me. You are very lucky to have your earlier work, I love your work ! I only have work since about 2000.
Brought back a lot of personal memories of how I got started many years ago. I also have similar albums that I haven't opened for years. Brave of you to do that publicly Andrew!
Thank you Andrew it was great to see your work, you are a true dedicated artist., so generous to share your ideas and talents, ( if only we all had the encouraging backup like your Dad that you had!!)
Andrew, Looking back, over the years past, was very enjoyable. You were destined to greatness and here you are today, a magnificent artist of international acclaim. So much to be proud of.
One distant day, Hugo will own your Portfolios, and be so proud to see where his Father’s artistic journey began. I’m so happy that you decided, at a young age to keep a portfolio of your art work. Maybe you should get one for Hugo . From a Mom’s perspective, you can’t throw away any of your child’s drawings. who knows what little Hugo’s future holds? He may inherit his Dad’s God given talent.
Thanks again for sharing this with us. It was so very nice. ❤️🙏
What a fascinating video! Thank you !
So good to see your work from the past
Nice! It’s cool to see how you’ve grown and changed!
you know what Andrew, you have so much raw talent as a younger you....and your so much better now, yet its hard to get agregioulsy better when you start out so very good at the gate.
I really love how hard you are on yourself. It shows that you're not satifisied with your (very high degree) of accomplishments and that you want to push your limits even further. Also, if I may say so, your dad and mom instilled a great work ethic and sense of tenacity in you and they raised you well. I know a lot of people who were talented and motivated youths but never had that one person in the background who'd keep them on their path while leaving them so much room for autonomy.
Awesome there, Tish! I haven’t decided whether it gives me encouragement or whether I should just forget it and hang up my brushes. I think a little time is needed here for me, though to arrive at a conclusion. Let’s see I’m 82 and I’ve been painting for almost 10 years now. What do you think? Can I make something of myself?
love your memory recall, I'm am 71 and I recently looked back over art work I did when I was in my 20's-30's it is amazing to see how your art develops over the years, I am self taught, and get blown away with the talent that is around, I have improved greatly since I have been watching your tutorials, and I thank you for showing me where I have been going wrong, love your work Thelma Bennett
Love looking at those. Back in 2012, I barely just started painting!
You were born with a talent . And you realized it .I will never live long enough to even approach your art . I thank you for sharing your folio with us . I enjoy watching your videos . And will for as long as i can . You are also a very generous man . I don't believe there is a better artist , anywhere .
You were born to do what you do and its beautiful!
I've been painting (oil and acrylic) for 15 years or so. Now that I'm retired, I'm taking art history and drawing classes at the local junior college to learn all the skills and fill all the holes in my art education. It's a backward way, but it was the only opportunity available. Your sketch books and portfolios are an inspiration for this old man!! Thank you.
Amazing artworks. You knew that you would be a famous artist when you were young. Amazing parents who supported you through this journey and a son that have appreciated all the opportunities. You are amazing Andrew. You are a role model for all artists with different backgrounds and perspectives. I’m happy for this opportunity that I have to learn from you. You know what you’re doing and it’s because of all your efforts and experience.
Thank you for sharing and opening up about how you grew as an artist. It makes me realize that no matter how good or how bad you think, your work is that each one is a stepping stone because look where you are now. It's a lesson in itself you sharing
Thanks teach:)
Thanks for sharing,kinda protocol you keep your sketches and stuff so you can review them yourself later in life,I like the "exercise"aspect of your work to break things down and gain your own perspective on the creation process,art is inspirational for sure,I could go on,very cool.
Great Tishler! Thanks for sharing. I Always have this feeling of being ashamed for old artworks too. But thanks to you, I've been having progress the last few years! You are a great artist and a very special professor! Following you always! Thanks!
Glad to hear of the progress! Keep up the great work!
Your first works are beautiful!! we can be our own worse critics. You are comparing those painting that were beautiful with the new ones that are stunning out of this world 😄
Your art is an inspiration!!! Congratulations !!
Andrew, I have loved all the videos you have posted and your ability to draw was evident from early on. I suggest you are not so disparaging of your early work both for the sake of the people who bought your art back then and for your viewers who would be stoked to get even to your early level. Keep being inspiring!
This is sooo fun. I remember showing another artist. (A very respected and successful architect) my work. I was 20, and he and his wife were 20 years my senior. He was quite gracious but I know that feeling. At the time I thought my work was on point. Back then most of my work was hyper realistic sketch work that needed a lot of work. I mastered that.moved onto paint and color. Now I absolutely love semi abstract realism which I find incredibly difficult to get just right. Of course I now work in watercolor.
The progression of your artistic ability and knowledge is impressive leading you to be (at least to me) one of the top contemporary artists whose works I've seen.
Thanks Andrew, Can definitely see why you are were you are professionally!
Very interesting. Lots of talent. Thank you
It is fun to hear your banter to your past self. It feels like I can relate, especially with the "mysterious artist, deep chiche, poetic views of the world". I find myself there right now 😂
Your young spirit was just dipping your toes into it all, and I can tell it was a very exciting time for you.
You're a damn inspiration, and one helluva human being.
It's wild we live in a time where we can watch modern masters do their thing.
I really enjoyed your video. Quite the early art background. You are a great artist Andrew 😉🙂🙂
That's great! Gives me hope!
you have always been so talented.
really enjoyed it, Andrew, thanks for sharing. It all looked amazing to my eyes, absolutely nothing to feel negative about here!
Cool to see the love of the NZ landscape was there from early on. I wouldn’t mind seeing Zoorassic park make a comeback, maybe a limited edition T-shirt run 😅
Holy crap Andrew! Your worst work is my best!!! I LOVED THIS... thanks for sharing❤
I think you were a great artist from early on!!! Your work looks wonderful to me!😘🙏🏻✨
You were an amazing artist back then!
I Love your videos....u make me laugh! And yet always soo informative!
Your old portfolio is incredible! If I could do works of art 1/2 as good as you did when you were first starting!!! AMAZING!
I loved looking at this!
Thanks for sharing this. So cool.
I LOVED going down memory lane. I have never had a natural art bone in my body and probably never will when I see the talent you have from the get go, but I still enjoy having a go! Thought I detected an Aussie accent in there! I love your work!
“So just a little kid, writing a BUSINESS LETTER!” 😂
As an emerging artist/painter from Perth Aus, this was really nice to see, and inpiration to keep following my dreams, thx Andrew
The things you did when you were younger looked fantastic Andrew!
It was a wonderful journey into the blessed Past! Thanks!
Loved this video, how cool was this?! And even from an early age you can see the talent just oozing out! So much fun to join in though!
Your high school portfolio is amazing!!!!! honestly it looks like something done by a much more mature individual. .bravo.!!
Love it!!
I know you are very talented but apart from a natural ability, the main reason is a lot of work and the drive to push yourself to get better and better. Your early work was amazing. Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge with us.
I love this fun side of you.
Maybe there's something wrong w me but I think the work is very nice and saying I'm into the earth yah simple but that about sums me up.
