Not just a great artist, but an outstanding teacher. Thank you Andrew Tischler!

Your "color studies" look like a final painting to me. Wow!

bro we're all impressed by the sketch

My god, I'm just blown away by how good this is!

I have been away from painting for 6 years. I am ready to make a return and just getting the passion fired up again. Thank you so much for sharing your work. You are Truly inspirational.

Andrew, I watch a lot of art channels and I have seen countless artist best works but I have never seen someone who can paint anything in the world from animals to portraits to seascapes to landscapes i mean anything. You are by far the best artist in the world imo. You are simply amazing. The Picosso of our generation. Your art will hang on museum walls centuries from now. Truly a privilege to see you create these masterpieces live.

You are out of this world.

Hyper Realist WOW WOW amazing not seen anything like this ever before YOU are gifted Andrew T

Andrew, Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us! You are an outstanding artist and are able to communicate your painting process and thoughts incredibly well. I was a watercolor painter for many years but now that I'm retired I've been planning on painting in oils and found you on YouTube. You are a true inspiration! Thanks again for your videos.

Andrew -- Thank you … one of the best video for budding artist .. You are not only a great Artist -- you are one of the best teacher , who teaches with passion.

He was the first artist and teacher on you tube who i got inspired motivated me to paint from. He's one of the most complete artist ive seen show his process, his approach is really outstanding.

wish i had you as a professor back in college, truly outstanding

Now that portrait is so very beautiful indeed, in fact its mind blowing...the little freckles on the face, the way hair is rendered, the tears, the light on the skin....etc I want to do that!

Having invested in this video, it is one that I will watch over and over again. Andrew teaches in a no nonsense practical way. There are two painting sessions included for each of the two models, and the entire painting process is covered thoroughly from composition, sketching, block-in, modelling, to finishing touches. He discusses colour palette choices, colour mixing in detail, and achieving colour harmony with a limited palette. Starting with the end in mind, breaking down the complex into sections or phases which really helps me not become overwhelmed, instead absorbing loads of tips, brush techniques, importance of form, controlling textures, ambient light, deepening of shadows, saving the best for last in tonal highlighting. Includes discussion on mediums used. In summary this is brilliant teaching and very good value for money and I am putting these tips into practice with more confidence than before. He also mentions review, making corrections, painting loose and tight. My recommendation is simply this. If you want to learn portrait painting in oils, buy this video! Thanks so much Andrew for sharing your talent. :))

Man, that painting was hyper-realistic !!

That was off the hook! WOW! Stunning!

I bought your 4 Part Demonstration Andrew. A perfect step-by step demonstration that's easy enough for a seventy year old like me to follow along with, and filled with wonderful techniques . Thank you for putting this fabulous painting instruction together. I like how part of the proceeds go to a deserving children's charity. Now to what I love to do...painting, with learning my new techniques. Thank you Andrew!!!

Wow! The painting and the model are both stunning! Now during the summer I’ll have confidence to finish my portrait :) thank you Andrew

Theres no arguing the result. A true master.
