dude, my opinion, this is your best work. Not only your painting, but your video and VO too. Keep putting videos out. I find your knowledge and the way you approach a painting is better than 99.9% of the art videos that are on youtube.

"that is the process that I use to create a painting, it's just this continuous breakdown of the large shape to smaller shape to smaller shape to smaller shape and eventually you come up with a fully rendered painting" - THIS LINE RIGHT HERE. As someone with a budding interest to get into painting but has no experience whatsoever and feels like they wouldn't even know where to start... that statement right there just changed my whole perspective on it all... painting is like rendering an image 🤌🏼

i love how the girl is lighting the joint on the stove lol. such a great idea for a painting.

Hell yeah! I've done nearly 1500 paintings in 6 years. (Sold) However watching this guy casually explaining and painting loosely is what it's all about. Joy and I stress this vehemently... Experiment!!! A sale rarely if ever exceeds the priceless satisfaction of the mere expression and craft of painting...put simply, creating. No video will ever compare with the mechanics of moving that body, getting paint on the fingers and clothes while inhaling the toxic aromas. Even a stove becomes sexy architecture.

What makes great art isn't the inspiration. It is the editing. That simple decision to place her hand on the ledge for balance gives so much dimension and weight to the woman. Subconsciously we all probably didn't feel right about the first shot because it wasn't realistic. She would be off balance. Having the eye to see that, and the skill to correct that error is impressive. Bravo!

Painting is such a gift… Watching it take shape it’s just a miracle!

I appreciate how you're using technology as a practical tool while not solely relying on it to communicate your idea. That's art. We have to be honest about the role technology plays in the creative process (and communication in a general sense) in order to prevent it from becoming a crutch.

[Ralphsearsart]

Love it and you are correct where larger paintings give the artist more flexibility to not be so detailed. I have to work on that. The work/fun goes on😀

[nathaniel]

Insanely well done, the change on the hand was incredible.

I think this might be one of the most beautiful paintings I've ever seen. It's expressive in form but so 'real' without being at all vulgar, even with a kitchen bin in the frame! It's truly moving. I can't even articulate how perfect this is.

Really awesome work dude! Great video and the final work is stellar.

A few months ago.
I am a beginner king who started learning oil painting.
I'm learning oil painting
Acrylic painting is self-taught.
Whether it's oil painting or acrylic, I practice a lot.
Drawing
It's such a fun and happy thing.
I'm so proud and happy to focus on drawing without knowing the time.
I've never heard a formal lecture
I'm studying really hard while watching these good videos.
Thank you for the video. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Great to have you making content on YouTube, Thomas! Love your work.

[Channel__T]

i’ve been painting for less than a year, your work has helped keep me motivated and got me very much into making my own canvases/panels and the diy aspect of it

[disguised]

1. This video was amazing
2. This piece is unbelievable
3. Your one of my biggest inspirations and I aspire to live your life

There's no cheating in Art. There's no right or wrong as long as you are creatibg something beautiful which you and others can enjoy.

Technology is just another tool inside an artist's infinite arsenal... Damn it, I've seen people making art with the most ridiculous resources you can imagine and the end result is just fantastic ❤️
References are absolutely necessary in nany cases.

IT'S ALL UP PERSONAL PREFERENCE AND WHAT MAKES HAPPY WHEN PAINTING 😊

No need to apologize or explain to much to the audience. Your art is awesome. And people don't care how exactly it is made. They just enjoy the end result.

Love your content brother.

I absolutely love this, and so happy to see the hand revision, that was impressive. Beautiful job!!

[The_Juan_Percent]

you know what they say to writers about writing what they know. this feels like the same, paint what you know, and this has that feeling, chill vibe and comfortable in it.

[Danny-hehi]

Dude, great work! It looks really good!
Im really liking that general shape to small details block in process

[marthalazarski]

Really love how you talk through your process as you go. I’ve been avoiding a large painting im working on (largest ive done) and got started working on it after watching this. The constant reminders of not getting stuck in details and working within each shape has been so helpful. This work is great! And so motivating!!
