  • I like the face at 3:00

  • babeh hed

    

  • @thesonyned Considering it's the discipline that makes art worth anything to an artist and the fact that GOOD education in fine art costs so much, often in debt... yes we do. My school tuition just increased from @$2400 per class to $3600 per class in a matter of 1 year. Not happy.

  • @theartofthecovenant amen to that brother these visd are awful we artist need a place to exchange ideas and skill freely dont you agree we artists must stick together

  • I like how the most important parts have been edited out of the video. Absolutely useless to any true artist. But if you want a refresher from art school... listen. Because nothing else you see here is going to help you understand how the magic of oil painting works in real time. ;)

  • This is what I hate about these how-to videos. She's shows you how she smears red paint over one part of the pissed off baby's face, next scene all the highlights, low lights & skin tones are done w/o any explanation. Thanks?

  • Are you scared? maybe the painter was angry while you say her baby was ugly

  • Thats me when they put me on Santa's lap!

  • Hello, my name is the screaming baby, and today I'm pissed off cause they're painting me.

  • that baby is pissed
