That was amazing! I'm an amateur artist, but my specialty is to sculpt. Over the holidays, I made a nativity scene out of clay. Your art is original and unique! I wanna grow up to be just like you!

[dynamicdreamer]

C'est marvellous!

[JamesBlonde03]

Encore une fois magnifique, j'adore ton travail!

[mesofun]

Ahhh shucks, you're just saying that...because you know I can't understand you. :)

[JamesBlonde03]

ohhh sorry, I will try to speak English in the future. I like your work and I learn much from your paintings, thanks.

Continue thus,you are the best! ;)

[mesofun]

No really, Use any language you want I need the schooling! Thanks as always!

[pyramiaou]

Beautiful. I like the light effects. You seem to be v keen on painting trees... I can't stop painting my son, see the vid response.

So I learned something today: you CAN do an oil painting in 3 hours. I thought there was lots of "waiting for layers to dry" time. Shows how much I know, never dared to buy a single tube of oil paint, just love my watercolours.

[mesofun]

I didn't see the video response. I'll go to your page and look...

Thanks again.

[pyramiaou]

Yes the video didn't seem to "take". Never mind, if you go to look for it, it's there!

[thegasworks]

Beautiful work!

[jantheempress]

beautiful :)

[monicatlink]

I enjoyed this video so much, so nice, thanx!! :D

[sprittusj]

Beautiful!!

[mesofun]

Thanks, I will. I'm going to Vegas for a couple of days. Talk to you after that.

[artmemoirs]

This is one of my favorites!

[mesofun]

Thanks so much. See I still say the simpler the better.

[IAGuy06]

Trees... is that all you can do is TREES?

How about a chipmunk or a caribou... maybe a platypus? :P

[Foj1]

Or maybe make the trees into Ents.

[mesofun]

Dear Mr. Foj1. The Ents that appear in Tolkien's work The Lord of the Rings, are exclusively male, as the female Ents (known as Entwives) were separated from them long ago and their whereabouts are unknown. I might consider painting the female Ents, cause I'm not into dudes. Thanks for your comments.

[Foj1]

Dear Mr. Mesofunny

You had to get technical didn't you, sir??

[mesofun]

Are you calling foul?

Re: Technical or Technical Foul. A technical foul is an infraction of the rules usually concerning unsportsmanlike non-contact behavior, and is generally considered a more serious infraction than a personal foul, but not as serious as a flagrant foul.

[Foj1]

You mean fowl as in chickens??

[Myklebust]

Another great painting.

You are the master of light.

Do you use oil or acrylics?

It looks like oil to me, but i could be wrong.

My acrylics dries so fast that blending is almost impossible.

Thanks for sharing

[mesofun]

Thanks for watching. I use oils. I like the time it allows to work with the paints.

[pukeythief]

Prettyful! Thats a word. Loved it as always.

And sorry sir but my eyes were close to the screen again, I do that when i find things intriguing so that a good thing..

My keyboeard looks blurry I can no longer type. Pretty pretty!

[mesofun]

AHHHHH, you called me sir again. Do I really look that old. I'm am mind you, but really, sir?

[pukeythief]

Sorry! I was going to call you Uncle elliott lucky I didn't :P

Just joking, no you don't look that old I promise

[Ozk3r]

the light effect through the tree is amazing! one of my favorites!

[mesofun]

Oscar, Who have you been? Thanks for looking.

I worked hard on that to not over work it, if you know what I mean. That effect can look real cheezy at times. And I know what I'm talking about!

[Ozk3r]

i've been everyone at once! and now i'm exhausted! and yes, i know what you're talking about

[charlenerice]

That was sweet , thanks for the candy : ) . made my day.

[omniscientmoon77]

Really pretty... :o)

[mesofun]

Thanks..really. :-)-B->

[ArtistiChicana]

[mesofun]

[ArtistiChicana]

*step 2. Does the size of the canvas matter?

*step 3. What's your favorite color?

*step......

[teresaprevo]

That is so beautiful! I wished YouTube allowed for a longer video. I would love to see you paint in slo-mo.

Thanks for sharing!

Have a great weekend.

[mesofun]

This one only took me about 3 hours. It was fun to do it in that amount of time.

[PamalaSmith]

Just saw your channel tags, ha ha. I mistakenly filled in tags for favorites or something in the beginning and I was like "Whyyyyy is there all these dirty videos in my favorites?!?!?!"

[suziblutube]

Yay ELLIOT!

[mesofun]

Yeah Suzi ... how have you been?

[reverendgisher]

[mesofun]

Good morning! Landscape...is that what that is? Damn I HATE landscapes!!!! I thought I was painting a nude again. AAHHHH I hate when I do that!!!!

[reverendgisher]

you know, you are explaining things i had no answer for, but perhaps i was better off in the dark:)

[mesofun]

o....k

[reverendgisher]

survival of the fittest does not always work:)

[mesofun]

I like bananas because they have no bones!..? What? now i'm really lost.

[PamalaSmith]

[mesofun]
