Create Better Painting "But, What If?" The secrets that every artist should know!

I just want to thank you for your videos. I put them on when I need to get into the mood to paint or when I think I'm failing at a painting somehow when I'm listening to you I can work through it instead of throwing my hands in the air and saying "well I'm done, see I knew you couldn't paint". Please don't ever stop, as someone who has fallen through the cracks of life, finding your channel and being able to listen for free is priceless. Hopefully one day I can sell a few paintings and claw my way back into earning something for myself and build a small career but for now I'm just content with getting motivated by your videos and learning to get past my own obstacles.

good “ what if “ 🌟. it is a doorway 🌟 - all the unlimited dimensions of perception ; the possibilities , the beauty 🌟— good word - what if 👍

You have such passion. When lightbulbs go on for your students, you obviously cannot restrain your unbridled joy.

It's hard to instill common sense in others, especially in a exciting way, but you manage to do just that so well.

You are such a great teacher and artist 🧑‍🎨

Been listening to your classes while painting. I'm learning and so inspired. Thank you for posting these.

You make me fell great to myself, and to my paintings ! I want to hear more inspiration from you sir! Thank you so much! 😊

"What if..." -what I used to always say when I was a kid. I am going to start breaking a lot more "rules"... again, to play with the chaos, and find natures rhythms. Thank you for so much great content in every video you gift us with.

So..."I'm painting with my toes completely curled, and my butt cheeks completely tight, because I"m like "oooh what's this going to do?" Oh my yes! and I thought the best painters just "went at it" with no fear or trepidation. Ha! Clearly if you're not pushing the envelope you're staying in the box/comfort zone and being BORING. It's the courage to take those risks that really do and can push you into greatness. It's finding that sweet spot of "Oh Wow!" that's what you want, that's certainly what I want. And you won't get there in the safe zone. So push the envelope and practice the "What if" scenario. Thanks so much Stefan! Love you bunches!!!

Stefan--- I am new to watching you! I have enjoyed all the lessons I have watched but this one "What if" is extra special as is the one re the Golden Mean!!! Thank you for for your generous and excellent lessons! I wish I could be one of the people in your class.❤️

Wonderful video as usual. I'm going to paint over my old paintings that were not masterpieces lol and stop saving everything I paint. Just practice sometimes is is important. I think that will free me up to try new things without fearing that I'm going to ring my painting. Just knowing it's just a practice painting gives you the license to practice. Thanks!

/Stefan teaches where things come alive for me. Thank you very much. I see things in a different light.

Thank You, You have help me a lot.

thank you Stefan, you are inspiring !

I wanted to share my discovery of light effects. I ran a copy of a photo taken of a piece of art. But I messed up and printed it in black and white. Well I thought I had messed up. The results showed the fantastic lights and darks so vividly!

Thanks Stefan . I like these long videos -- I learned a lot from them

A beautiful explanation to paint with dark s and shadows. Thank

The only thing that's better than plainair, is western art. Where you have to be as much of a cowboy as an artist. REmmington and Russel croniled the west. That tradaion is carried on by the Cowboy Artist of America. After waking up with the desire to become an artist. I went through my back issues of Western Houseman. Its a treasure. Even though I"m learning 3 chords on the guitar.

You bring it together

I clicked the thumb up once once but I wish I could have done it 100 times!
