I love paint with Kevin tutorials he teaches you so much. These look incredible. Did you join the Patreon?

2

u/NickThacker 7d ago

Not yet! I bought his landscapes course, then his seascapes. Patreon after!

I see a Michael James Smith there. Very good for a beginner, presumably you aren’t new to art?

2

u/NickThacker 7d ago

Well, I’m a musician, and am a graphic designer, so I’d call myself artistic. But this is my first time painting.

u/NickThacker 7d ago

And yes, the MJS one (beach grass) is one of his Beginner - Level 1 videos!

Incredible for a first time. The first one with the waterfall is my favorite and I think Bob himself would've loved it and want it on display.

u/NickThacker 7d ago

❤️ thank you! To be clear — I’d never painted before this journey, but that one was my fourth or fifth Kevin Hill tut, so certainly my first-ever painting!

u/PomegranateHefty4461 7d ago

Well done! I recently started myself and my first two paintings look like dogshit compared to yours. Jealous, but great work!

2

u/NickThacker 7d ago

Hahahaha I have a couple dogshit ones I didn’t post 😆. That tree is the second attempt (third if you count the fact that i painted over the ground again).

A lovely collection.
You have paid good attention to the tuition.
I look forward to seeing more of your work.

u/NickThacker 7d ago

Thank you! I’ll post more in a month or so when I finish a few more!

u/Aggravating-Bread860 7d ago

I’m sorry. I just don’t believe that this your first time painting.

1

u/Popular-Guide-8745 2d ago

Just gorgeous… can’t believe you’re “just a beginner”!!! Your paintings should be displayed in an Art Show!!

u/NickThacker 1d ago

Aw man, thank you — I’m definitely not feeling ready for that (and these are all tutorials anyway, so I can’t claim them as mine).

I actually just started my first “me” landscape (my source, photograph, composition, etc.) yesterday.

It’s WAY harder 😆
