Rajiv's dream is to one day be able to paint like John Singer Sargent, and in his research he's come across many photos and accounts that detail the tools and techniques that Sargent used. Rajiv recently discovered a tool that Sargent used, which is no longer made, and is thrilled to be using it for his own outdoor painting practice!

  • @bethmcnally2282
    I found a working pachinko machine I had been hunting for for years. I couldnā€™t get that money out fast enoughā€¦thank you for all your wonderful videos.
  • It was meant to be! I love such serendipitous finds. Itā€™s a wonderful discovery that could not have come into better hands. Congrats, Rajiv!
  • @macoeur1122
    You yearned and the Universe delivered. 'Happens every day.
  • Ahhh ā€¦ John Singer Sargent ā€¦ I adore him ā€¦ and your painting is beautiful!
  • I love listening to youā€¦ Youā€™re sort of the Bob Ross of decorating, painting, livingā€¦ I love the elegance and simplicity of the things you create ā¤
  • @ziggy33399
    lol. You know what I just really LOVE about you? Weā€™re happiest having just the right tools šŸ§° as much as the project itself. Makes perfect sense to me, no one else ever understood this factor about meā€¦ but set up, right tools are AS important . Thanks for understanding my heart,..and this alignment. I ā€œgetā€ you.
  • @linaD08
    So serendipitous for you to ā€œfinallyā€ find the antique umbrella. Asking is key in getting what one wants. Such a Sunday morning gift this video has been. Its been many years since I have experienced the beauty of summer in the northeast and this video gave me a good reminder. Thank you Rajiv.
  • @Wren_Farthing
    That bit of trivia about your having painted John Derianā€™s shop sign is my favorite thing in this video. Itā€™s such an obvious pairing that my immediate thought was ā€œbut, of course!ā€.
  • @erinscallon9612
    What an absolute joy! Iā€™m glad you got to experience that moment ā¤ enjoy painting Ć” la Sargent from now on!
  • @myrradine
    Rajiv, you manifested and those items "came" to you. This video on an unusually wet Sunday morning here in Plano, TX has been a gift! Thank you, my fellow Tamilian.
  • @mysteriousu5528
    Wow. Look at the quality of that umbrella and the chair. I always go for quality over quantity in everything. The hydrangeas are beautiful and they are huge. The one on the left and the back is even darker and stunning. Time well spent. Thank you.
  • @mgpm17
    I love that you found these vintage painting tools. ā¤ļø Very happy for you! I have a vintage water container. It's a glass container with coiled wire above it to hold the brushes. It belonged to my father, who took up painting in his 50's. When I took up painting in my 50s I was glad to have it! šŸ˜Š
  • I donā€™t paint but the joy in your eyes, not just your face or smile, your eyes are glowing and I can hear your heart bursting with joy. The word joy is such a small and simple word but its explains a lot. Congratulations on your finds.
  • I think you should paint that scene, of all your favorite tools in front of that lovely landscape of flowers and clothes line.
  • @sarahp1383
    It was so rewarding watching you take the trouble to find an antique painter's umbrella, showing us each detail of its fine craftsmanship......which after decades, is still in good working condition. There's immeasurable pride in owning this piece of history. What a lovely garden you have. And the painting...I wish it was mineā¤
