1. I like your detailed tutorial on cherry acrylic painting. I am going to paint apple soon! Thank you~~

2. I may not get an answer since this video is so old, but I'm very new to acrylics and I have a question. How do you get so little paint on your brush yet manage to spread it so smoothly? I keep having to go back and forth adding more and more to my brush because it ends up not spreading well. Not sure if it's the brush quality(blue turtle from amazon) or the paint quality (liquitex basics) or if I'm using the wrong paper (Canson Montval cold pressed) Thank you for your helpful videos.

3. Your video is great! Nice and slow, easy to follow. You are very talented

4. It's not as easy as it looks, but it goes…

5. You're a good teacher Will. It's a pleasure watching your tutorials. I'm just learning the stuff I would have liked to have been shown almost 30 years ago at art school.

6. Sir which paper would be best for the beginners?

7. great tutorial! omg, the song is bleeding love right? 😀

8. Lol,so funny i can relate when you brush just loose,That happens to me many times🤣🎨🖌Thank you for this tutorials😊I will follow you on fb page if you have one😊💕

9. do you gesso the canvas first?

10. I need to ask… must you varnish a finished painting? I'm terrified to do it!

11. I love three things about your video… 1) it isn't in superhuman fast speed without instruction. It is in real time with explanations. Yay! 2) You show the pallet, so we can see how you mix the paints 3) You refer to the reference photo so students can anticipate the next step of shadow, highlights and color EXCELLENT!! Thank you oh, and they are actually DOABLE for a beginner SO ENCOURAGING!!!

12. did you paint the whole canvas in burnt umber & white before drawing the cherry?

13. Thank you! Your videos are amazing! So well done. They are helpful and actually quite relaxing to just watch and listen to your accent and the music! I love your techniques and tips and have learned quite a bit in a short amount of time. Thank you again for offering these! I have subscribed and will continue to tune in to your work.

14. why would you use gloss and not mat in your painting? especially if you are working with a natural subject matter. Does it not look to plastic which is what acrylic is? Do you have a recommondation in how to keep the colors rich and have depth by using a medium but not glossy.

15. Will, do you always keep your palette vertical next to the painting? I had assumed you only did that for the purpose of the video recording but I'm actually seeing some benefit to working like that!

16. Your tutorial @willkempartschool  is one of the best from time after i does review your video it keep me active in look for new way to paint and new thing to paint. 

17. I really love your tutorial… remind my Spanish master that had studied art in Italy.

19. You made me smile when the brush came off the handle… Glad it's not just me 😉

20. Really pleased to hear it.

    Will

21. I have a still-life assignment for school to do and I was so intimidated by the idea of it (I've never used acrylic before) and your videos are simply amazing to watch! Thank you very much, this is extraordinarily helpful 🙂

22. I love these demos very helpful

23. A glaze it to help enhance paint that is dry with a new veil of colour. It sits ontop of your underpainting, like a stained glass window.

24. Cheers raulishnikov, superglue has now been added!
    Will
