How to paint WATER in Oils - Painting realistic reflections!

I studied painting and design and i made my master long time ago. I tried hard the last 40 years, but i will never reach you, not even close. Thank you for sharing your skills. You are an outstanding amazing artist and inspiration, not only for me.

My name is Kevin Rich. You have inspired me to pick up a paint brush again. After twenty years of discarding the idea of art, I've once again picked up some artistic juice to start afresh. For whatever reason, I do seemed to have improved.

I wanted to thank you, Andrew. I find your work is very inspiring. I observe and pick up what I need to learn. I'm a person that loves paint. I have a compassion. I lost it. For a little while, but now I've picked up my paintbrush. Once again in my canvas and paint. And my most interests now is water rocks and trees. I'm from down the coast, so we have very rugged rocks, sharp angles and shapes of all sorts. I'm around sea water. And lost a kelp on a rocks, but the scenery is breathtaken.

The clear glass trick is GENIUS!

Wow! again! Thank you for your tutorials. You are such a good teacher. Your glass "trick" is such an amazing tool. I am only a beginner (age 74) but I am enjoying my erratic little journey into the edge of art.

I just recreated your painting in real time. Took me 17 minutes and mine looks like an unattended toddler walked into hobby lobby and had a field day on a buy one get one free canvas. Cheers from Georgia USA 😜👍👍👍

You know it will be an awesome day when you see Andre Tischler just uploaded a new video

Yet again a painting tutorial that is made brilliantly and narrated flawlessly. As always you spare us the pontification, self-aggrandizement and cheap, misplaced humor so rampant in most other instructional videos. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your talent. Thanks to your parents (who I believe are also artists) for their part in raising such an awesome person.

Thank you Andrew for your generosity in demonstrating the 'how to' Have improved my painting immensely through watching, Thank you so much, Lyn

I love painting reflections and water. SO much fun. Gets me excited every time.

Had to remind myself to breath while watching you paint. So greatfull for the sense of awe I felt. Thank you.

I'm a visual learner. As a watch your channel I reflect on how much I've discovered just playing. Watching these videos of various artists and styles. Find myself combining techniques and opposite materials. I LOVE texture. My first painting was after watching Iris Scott finger painter. 4 hours to execute with the HOBBY LOBBY oil kit for 4.99! the "Jesus" 12x16 Every thing after Jesus was difficult! Such a metaphor indeed. Then I find you! You are so opposite! I'll pick up the brush but you just made it look engaged...I've saved all my old brushes for the exact reasons you gave. Thank you! Time to paint!

The glass tip!! This composition is absolutely stunning. Thank you for all you teach us.

That use of glass to estimate the reflection is pretty freaking genius!

That reflection trick! Andrew you are a genius! Btw beautiful painting.... :)

After 20-plus years I am still an amateur but love my “painting time”. Started when I retired…self-taught landscaper. Your videos are ‘on the mark ‘ for mr. Big thanks!,,

Thank you Andrew! This mountain scene is exactly what I need right now! We live near mountains in Western Canada and I have been working on smaller paintings of the mountains here, but a few things, I am having difficulty with. I very much appreciate the video that you have produced and looking forward to learning from you. Stay well and stay safe.

The detail... The realism... I wanna cry

Beautiful painting Andrew! Great tips on painting reflections on water. I love all your instructional videos. Thank you so much.

Really appreciate your posts, Andrew. Your attitude is always positive. I have no painting experience, but enjoy watching the process the way one might enjoy a time-lapse of a building construction. There's a real pleasure watching the elements build in dimension from an empty "lot" to a completed construction. It dispels the "impossibility" of the process and shows the logic of it's production in a way that inspires confidence that aspiring people can relate to.
