  To those of us who didn’t have the luxury of attending any of the “top art schools” this is a well presented primer allowing the uneducated an opportunity to learn the basics.  I thank you for taking the time to start the uneducated on the road to painting.  This was a wonderful video.  😊

  This is the best tutorial I've ever seen for oil painting students and I've seen possibly a hundred on youtube.  My heart is bursting with "Thank You's!"  I'm just now getting serious about using oils and I neeeeeeded ALL this valuable information.  ....  joyce

  I like how you really pressed the issue of pigments. It is SOOOO important and honestly I hardly hear many artists talking about it. I don’t think enough people experiment with single pigments enough because it’s not often taught in intro type instruction. So I appreciate hearing you really drive the details of the paint itself and what is in it. I love oil painting and don’t do it enough. Thanks

  I’ve never picked up a paint brush a day in my life and I’m loving this. I love art and this allows me to appreciate it so much more. Thank you for sharing!

  I started with oil paintings.. have seen many you tube videos about tips and mistakes.. but this is the most useful videos to give a solid basis for my oil painting journey.. &nbsp;With understanding of the various elements/ actors involved in the oil painting, I will be much more confident in what I will experiment and understand science behind it.. Thank you!!.. I found my Guru! 🙂

  This is Amazing!!! Thank You Julie. This is much better than &quot;Watch Me Paint&quot; videos, or videos where an explanation of one or two concepts are drawn out into a 45 min. video just to rack up the AD views.<br>I&apos;ve learned more in this one video than I have reading multiple books or watching dozens of other videos.<br>Looking forward to future videos like this one.
