I loved this video. I felt like I was in your studio with you. I am 87 years old and have painted portraits in oils, acrylics, and drawn in graphite, charcoal and colored pencil. I just now want to paint in watercolors. I'm never too old to learn. Thank you so much for this video.
Oh dear sir. I am an artist who attended a 4 year art school years ago. Family and obligations got in the way. Now my nest is empty and I'm getting back into my watercolors. However my desire has always been to paint portraits in oils. I needed a tutorial for oil painting for beginners from scratch and an artist I can resonate with. I wanted to learn from the bottom up and here today a blessing in finding YOU. Thank you. I'm very excited.
I have to say your command of colour is beyond what I’ve ever seen before. Adding green, purples and red to shadows in your various videos. Granted I’ve seen only a few videos, I’ve been amazed in them all.
Absolutely hypnotizing. I'm looking at these big shapes go down like burnt ham and shoe polish, and a minute later they're beautiful skin and hair. I'm in awe! Bravo!
"Emergencyyy" 😂 I loved that. That is my refrain when painting watercolors. This portrait was so beautifully done, I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing!
Wow. I'm blown away by your warmth and ease in teaching, as you demonstrate such mastery. Makes me feel like it's possible to become more relaxed with greater proficiency. You're a delight to listen to and learn from (and the music--a perfect complement as well). Thank you so much.
This is the best watercolor video I have ever seen!
The haircut in the picture is better than the photo. You nailed that hair. You know you nailed that hair:) You’re the master
I love your tutorials. They inspire me to do more painting and I find your explanations very helpful.
I've watched almost every video and tutorial on watercolor portraits and, sir, you are by far the most explanatory! I love that you talk through it, explaining what is wet first or not, what you are doing, what you pay attention to or not so much, in a way I can understand with the entire watercolor technique. I can sketch and draw and shade my heart out but watercolor is so difficult to me because I've become so precise with pencil. Thank you for teaching me how to let go of the idea of "perfect" and precise. It's been killing me! I could listen to your warm loving voice all day and night long! Calm flow and yes, fun! Thank you!
Your nephew is very lucky to have a talented uncle like you. I could watch you painting for hours and hours; your tutorials are the best. Thanks for sharing.
I find your videos to be very inspiring and your candid commentary refreshing. I am going to paint a portrait following your intelligible example. Thanks Ben.
It takes self confidence to lay that loaded brush down! I liked when you said keep it fresh and also “ too many details makes it silly!“. BOTH SO TRUE!!!!! I enjoyed your video immensely
Your nephew must be real heart breaker! So handsome My oh my! Lovely portrait. Very handsome.
You’re the best artist on YouTube you worked for 10 years on YouTube within your age and have few followers, You deserve more than this number, you're resist teaching, I haven't watched an artist on youtube share all these details and mix colours, you have all my respect, and I learned from you a lot, thank you, teacher
well done
Love seeing you painting watercolor! Beautiful!
Sehr gute Darstellung und Demonstration ❤
I am so glad that you made a video on watercolor!! I follow your oil painting videos and always wished you would make one on watercolor. As always you amaze me !!! Thanks a lot sir for inspiring
