5 Steps to becoming a BETTER ARTIST + How to GLAZE COLOUR into your LANDSCAPES! Monument Valley USA

Welcome, Tish, to the world of illustration techniques!

I have followed your videos now for years and have found them inspiring Andrew. After working most of my life in factories I now spend my days doing what I did as a teenager. Drawing and painting. I only wish you had been about in my younger years. I might have spent my time doing what I loved instead of doing what I thought I had to do. Much respect to your wonderful art. Thanks for sharing

Great being back on your channel! Thank you for the encouragement!!! Off to paint!

Andrew, once again thank you. I listened, I stopped the video often and reflected on your words, and took notes. Not so much for painting but for Life. Learning to paint- so many life lessons. Art is all illusionary-we seek to represent something three-dimensional on a 2-dimensional surface. So is Life- illusionary. Your 5-step process can be adopted to LIFE itself. QUESTION, EXPERIMENT, BE INSPIRED TO ..., COMMIT TO THE EXPERIMENT (do not live in fear of failure-embrace it, it is how we learn- it does not mean embracing that which is knowingly self-destructive but if you fall down such a rabbit hole, you will figure it out in the next step),ANALYZE THE RESULTS (Like sailing- you may not be going directly to where you want to go but are you on the right tack. The sailing analogy also leads to the next step. MAKE A PLAN - check your internal compass, refer to your maps (the Masters, your Moral self, whatever it was that inspired you). Jib or Come About, work with the wind to get to where you want to go or explore. A friend, recently diagnosed with cancer was asked by his Holistic Doctor 8 questions, the answers of which would provide direction for him to be healthier and thus improve his immune system. I found this fascinating. Diet and exercise are obvious but the one that still has me thinking was, "What brings you JOY ?" Not happiness or pleasure but JOY. It is a tough question. I never allowed myself to embrace the question. Upon reflecting on your 5-Step Plan. It is the same plan I am using to come up with an answer to the question.

this was EXACTLY the push I needed. Thanks for another amazing session of inspiring thoughts!!!

Absolutely brilliant❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Good luck to you yours and your career. You deserve i t❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is one of the most incredible landscape paintings I've ever seen.

I never cease to be amazed by these videos. Now I'm a total beginner in every medium. I've never completed

Unbelievable quality 😱 It is the level of the old masters 👍

I was thinking about how inspired I felt watching you paint those clouds, then I heard tip #2 😂 Your advice and knowledge never fail Andrew!!

Absolutely gorgeous colors in your painting. I am in awe of how you see them and all the relationships between the colors. I have to work on this on my side and I am grateful for every one of your videos. Thank you

I'm so glad how you explained how you do the glazing! Thank you so much for that! Gorgeous painting, as the grisaille as well as when you were putting the color choices in.

Always try new, ways, mediums,even back to basics, thanks again for your fantastic work and inspiration

Sir tischler ,you are my inspiration in fine art field, you are the best ever.

Thank you for all the inspiration. Been painting a long time, but this week I got out for the first time to paint en plein air and learned so much!

I love everything about this video. So many moments where I found myself nodding vigorously 😄 also when you glazed over those grasses I was mesmerised 😮

In 2019 I signed up for my first time ever local pleinair event where live. I searched how to pleinair & found you on tube, I’ve been following you ever since. I was bitten by the pleinaire bug, and continue to this day. You are an amazing teacher and artist! I thank you for sharing! God Bless! 🙏🎨❤️

"If you're green you grow, if you're ripe you rot." Love that nugget. I've discovered, after taking your challenge to really examine what I'm doing, that there is a third state: petrification! I've been drawing / painting since I was 5 so, over 4 decades later and a successful engineering career as my main job, I let ego get in the way of doing anything in case I'm not as good as before! How unrealistic to be so scared stiff. It's not like a professional athlete can do what they do without practise, and art is the same. Thank you for the inspiration to be brave and always push myself. Cheers!

Painting has been my livelihood for nearly twenty years. Making a living from it can really strangle your creativity. So i make sure i have time to paint for myself, to learn and grow, and most importantly, stay excited. Its great to see over the years i have watched you're channel, you still seem excited by it all.

I’ve been glazing on and off for many years and recently went back to experimenting because I’m seeking that color glow you can’t get otherwise. Wouldn’t you know I’m also using Rublev, I love the way it doesn’t make the glaze too runny. And coincidentally I was at Monument Valley today and captured a ton of references so this is truly great timing! Thanks for all you do, it’s so inspiring.
