I used to wonder will we ever again see the level of fine art as that of Bouguereau - but now we have hope and faith in you, Mr. Waddell !

Thank you so much Scott, your video answered why I haven't been able to exit my painting nightmare of having no chroma, no value's, flat, chalky, over oily, thick greasy paint on canvas, lost in space brush strokes, no plan by chance, never ever endIng painting, paint devouring artist buster method making me crazy loop.

I'll forever owe you for saving me.

the most detailed and useful video I ever watched thanks to the moon and back from Saudi Arabia

[martas]

This is so informative, enlightening, and inspiring! You have encouraged me to get back and try to overcome my fear of not being good enough at painting portraits and just unblock myself to paint my best - whatever the final outcome is! One of the best videos I have ever watched on YT.

[lornabeecroft]

Thanks for another great video Randy. If only Scott was as good at this as you are, oy veh. The man just doesn't look like a Scott, not his fault. Great work Randy!

[adamleszczyk]

One of the best painting proces, let me say, tutorials I've ever watched and believe me or not the time I spent on videos bout painting you can count on months not hours.

[JackDespero]

Amazing video. Thank you for the video.

[grehansworld]

Absolutely love your channel. Love your personality as well😂.

[mkuplvr]

you are so generous and phenomenal!!! It feels like a gift to have found you on YouTube. thank you!

[carolynmacaluso]

Everything i wanted to know at the moment. 🥰

[deeluver]

The best tutorial I’ve seen yet! For the underpainting do you thin with gamsol or linseed oil?

[lol-otpn]

It should be borderline illegal that you only have 35k subs.

A lot of what you describe about the paint not gripping strikes home with me. I paint on board and I have found that you don’t want to sand the board down ultra fine. I intentionally leave a tooth on my gessoed board and tend to do my first pass with linseed as opposed to gamosol. Lol I also like Windsor Newton but I live near a Holbein wholesaler who was indignant when I asked if their store carries Windsor Newton as they are also a general art supply store
