I went to an art school for 4 years and this was never part of the curriculum. Anyone who gave this video a thumbs down isn't a student or lover of art. Thank you Andrew for putting this content together. It's extremely valuable!

[Anthony-gqdk]

This lesson by a private tutor would cost in excess of one hundred dollars . So would a repeat class too, . here, just click play again, what value, how generous. Many thanks .

[Winteryears]

You, young sir, have a very valuable skill set outside of your artistic abilities: you are a natural born teacher. A thing rarer than diamonds or gold, and infinitely more valuable.

[GaLa-wcqc]

Totally unselfish giving up his time to help others, brilliant artist

[mohanarulampalam]

Andrew, as an amateur artist delving into oil painting as a hobby, your video not only provided valuable insights but also ignited my passion for experimenting with colors and techniques. Your clear explanations make the learning process enjoyable and accessible for enthusiasts and new learners like me. Thank you for sharing your expertise and inspiring the artistic journey.

Your communication skills are as good as your paintings ! Great work . I have learned so much, Thanks Al

[KBorham]

You are sincerely thanking us? The thanks all go to you bro! One definition of a "Master" suggests one who has reached the pinnacle of their practice, and can share information freely, without fear of being bested by competitors. You are truly a Master of your art.

Hi Andrew, my name it Al Brown, Canada, and I, ve been an airbrush artist for over 45yrs.
I, ve had this nagging sensation to begin painting with oils. Even in those years I've used hand brushing techniques for even more realism and 3D appearance.
My favourite things I like doing is illusion, tricking the eye thinking it's real, it's always fun to see the look on their faces when they find out it's just painted on.
My specialty is realism and 3D effects and that brings me to you.
This is why I'm be following your video's, I love realism and fine detail and you are all about that.
I'm watching your techniques, brush strokes and all your fine detail work, it's amazing.
This a big step for me and I feel in my heart and in my mind, which keeps reminding me to make this change.
Every time I see your work, the drive gets even stronger, keep up the amazing work Andrew, I'll be watching you as much as I can and looking forward to watching the in depth techniques and and your creative magic.
Right now I'm taking this at a slow pace, it's a big jump from Acrylics to oils, but both have their own advantages over the other.
Take care Brown, Ontario Canada

He is literally the Einstein of painting, everything he says makes sense and is very intelligent.

[bettychilldres]

YES... thank you Andrew.
THIS was very helpful for this old lady in my retirement years.
I'm just now trying to get back into PAINTING from about 20 years ago now.
I'm listening to all you younger you-tubers as you paint your beautiful paintings... and I find that I'm actually learning what I was not taught from my younger years of struggling with PAINT "period"!! Ha!! 😁

What’s on the palette: gray background for tonal and hue adjustments. Glass is easy to clean. Burnt umber for deep shadows. Yellow oxide is good for warmth and tinting skies and the transp version for glazes. Titanium white for landscapes and lead whites for portrait. Cad lemon is v strong. Cad red for landscapes. Quinacradone magenta. Ultramarine blue. Cobalt teal for greens and skies. Phthalo green is strong and good for leaves and darks. Starts with earth tones, then white, then hard chroma underneath. No black on the palette, it’s made from burnt umber and ultramarine blue. (I have to say that yes he’s an amazing painter but just because he doesn’t use black doesn’t mean you can’t. It’s a useful color for mixing a truly dark color or for pop art so the rule of no black is bs. He likes to mix his own black because he gets more control and interest in the realism) baby wipes are good for wiping away excess paint and wipe off the excess mineral oil. The true primaries are not red, yellow, blue. They’re cyan, magenta, and yellow and they make beautiful colors that the traditional primaries cannot achieve. Cobalt teal, magenta, and cad lemon is the true primary combo that he uses.

As a career printer, glad to see you bringing CMYK into the picture (pardon the pun). Process printing, which is what the use of these colors is referred to, uses a concept called GCR, or gray component replacement (addition of tonal black) to simulate many of the natural grays that you are mixing. Since there are few, if any total blacks in nature this limits the color spectrum that printing can capture, but adds very piercing depth, sometimes too much so.

[gillda]

Thank you. Showing the color mixes of the printer really helped me understand the values of the mixes.

[danielmeadows]
