    @kkcleanex I agree .. very well said. I think most of us are here to see a video named : How to paint a Canvas Picture and if we knew how to do it ourselves, wouldn’t be here in the first place. So let us all stop judging and learn a thing or two from the man who has time and makes effort to teach people for free.

    i honestly don’t think there is a such thing as a “bad” painting. It’s art. Art is whatever we want it to be. it’s just how you express yourself. I think it’s a fantastic painting because he was relaxed his strokes were calm and he seems like he likes what he does. every painting is beautiful to me because there is no way to measure badness.

    @Catz4ever1 Sorry to break it to you but this video is edited down; it did not take 3 minutes to paint. I don’t know what’s worse, that it took 7 months for someone to point that out or 78 people are just as unobservant as you.

    thats his own technique of painting. not everyone is considered an “expert” only if he paints like cezanne or Turner. get a grip on that. its like ur sayin asian people cant cook just because u dont like their dishes. how are you gonna be an artist if you’re so narrow minded and think only YOU paint the best?! now THATS a joke!
