![]() His down-to-earth, often tongue-in-cheek attitude is one of the reasons I enjoy his videos.īut he’s also a wonderful artist with a lot of good teaching to share with aspiring painters at all levels. That makes his instructional videos fun as well as informative to watch. Steve is a western artist by trade and he works primarily in oil and watercolor, with some sketching on the side. Steve Atkinson is the artist behind the Draw Paint Repeat channel. But if you’ve never visited his channel before, there’s plenty of content there that’s fascinating and worth watching. He doesn’t post very often, since he also conducts one-on-one classes in his studio in France, and is planning a workshop, also to be held in France. Since his videos are often 30 minutes long or longer, there are often periods of stream-of-consciousness monologue covering such things as his college studies, places he’s visited, and the motivation behind his choice of subjects (dramatic skies) as well as his painting methods (which include scraping and wiping, besides using a brush). Davies talks about what he’s doing and why as he paints dramatic clouds and brooding landscapes. Most of his videos are real-time with voice over. His painting support of choice is plywood, and his brushes are house-painter’s brushes! What could be more accessible than that? But he also proves that you don’t need the absolute best tools in order to create wonderful art. In fact, his breakout video is called The Illusion of Detail, and it was my introduction to the artist and his art. He’s an oil painter whose specialty is creating the illusion of detail without actually painting detail. Stuart Davies is British artist living in France. But there are enough older videos to make her channel worth repeat visits, and enough artist’s life videos (usually voiced over time-lapse drawing videos) for a ton inspiration. Most of her newer videos are shorter versions of the full-length tutorial videos she does for Patreon. While most of her videos are related to colored pencil and/or portraits in some way, she covers a wide range of topics within that framework. She has also addressed choosing reference photos, and the ever-present problem of artistic motivation. Many of her demonstration videos concentrate on very specific topics, such as drawing a dog’s nose or a horse’s eye. Her work is precise and detailed but still retains that particular touch of artistry that even the best photography is hard pressed to duplicate. :) Bonny Snowdonīonny Snowdon’s medium is colored pencil and her specialty is animal portraits, usually either on Clairefontaine Pastelmat or drafting film. As a dog lover herself, she also makes sure to include the four-legged “studio assistants” of the artists she interviews. Not only is she opening the door on the struggles and successes of these artists she shows us how other artists organize their tools and supplies, the equipment they use, and the setting in which they create art. In these videos, she visits artists in their studios, lets them tell the story of their artistic journey, and then shows the artist’s studio. What makes her unique is her series of “Behind the Studio Doors” videos. Lisa’s style is realism, which is a common style found on YouTube. She’s a colored pencil artist specializing in wildlife art and pet portraits. ![]() Lisa Ann Watkins is the artist behind Animal Art by LAW. My favorite art channels on YouTube Animal Art by LAW ![]() Hopefully what inspires me will inspire you too! I get a lot of encouragement, instruction, and inspiration from those channels, so today I’m going to share them with you. One article focused on painting videos while the other shared my favorite sketching and drawing lessons on YouTube.Īs I was researching those posts, I found a few YouTube channels with so much great content that I bookmarked them and (even now) check them regularly for new videos. Last year I put together a couple of articles listing some of the best YouTube art videos for beginning and intermediate artists. By Carrie Lewis in Art Tutorials > Video Tutorials
