Wow This is amazing =O It seems so simple the way you paint it but probably isn’t xD I have a question though, not related to water falls though >.< How would you achieve a reflection affect on a sunset, like the one you did in that sunset tutorial but instead of grass it was water? Thanks, Keep up the great amazing work 😀

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Before the end of the year, I will have my own complete line of signature painting products available. These will be geared to the wet-on-wet technique. Please refer back to my website periodically for updates and ordering information.
I cant wait to try this, I love the way you teach you are straight to the point and I just want to see more . Im an artist I grew up watching Bob Ross. The world needs your techniqes , I havent seen many like you. Thanks

It just comes from experience and practice. I’ve been painting for over 20 years and I certainly didn’t paint this quickly in the beginning. lol
what on earth?!! It takes me hours to do stuff like that!
you’re so talented
mymichele111—lovely work

@GUITAR1212112
Your least expensive option would be either canvas “paper” ( for practice ) , or canvas panels ( aka canvas “boards” ). You can find these at any art supply store.
what do you paint on. Because my sister is going to teach me to oil paint but i need something to paint on.
thank you so much
fiquei encantada com sua tecnica, obrigada pela suas aulas, com elas tenho condições de melhorar asa minhas pinturas.

Well, hopefully you can make it to one of my classes someday. I meet a lot of great people in this business and I know we’d have fun!
Why do you live so far away 🙁
However, thank you for putting up lessons for people that cannot make it to your classes. Hopefully in the future when my schedule is less busy Ill take one of your classes
Just some suggestions for future videos:
reflections of trees or anything else in water, mountains, dirt or dirt roads
THANK YOU!!! YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION and one of my new favorite artists.
lol! I will be sure to check it out. Thanks
DO I!!! That’s how I make my living. You should visit my website, wilsonbickford d o t c o m
Do you offer classes?
Yes, you can do these techniques with Acrylics. I use odorless mineral spirits ( paint thinner ) for thinning my paint and cleaning my brushes. A “medium” is not thinner, but an oily base into which you blend your paints.
I love your videos they are really helpful esp for a beginner like me I just had a few questions can you do this with arcrylic paints as well also what type of thinner do you use also is a medium and paint thinner the same thing thank you!
I do too. It’s great for many different effects, such as falling snow, stars in the sky, flowers in a meadow and gravel texture on a road. I use it all the time.
