Hi, I am the son of two artists and began painting in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia before I could walk. I was a rare combination of artist and athlete so I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to play football for USC. I left the team my sophomore year to focus on painting and filmmaking, applying the same focus and discipline from my football career to my art. I primarily work in oils, and spend most free days painting "en plein air" in my new home of Sarasota Florida.

You deserve a million subscribers already. Thank you as always for sharing your painting wisdom!
Thank you so much 😀
I think my biggest takeaway from this was the 'brush economy'. Especially when painting bushes or trees with lots of branches, I end up trying to put too many in and it just becomes a tangle mess. I will try harder in my future paintings to pick out 'key' branches and leaves! I think the way you did the cars was also a good demonstration of this. Even though they were just a couple of strokes, they still strongly read as cars.
Great timing...just bought a few small panel boards to do some landscapes. 'When the student is ready, the teacher appears"
Have fun!
Literally what I want to paint and what I'm struggling with! Please do more mini landscape tutorials!
Thank you for all the helpful information in this video. You put so many painting tips in 15 minutes that it needs to be seen more than once. I shared it with other painters.
Yeah I was actually worried it was going to be information overload. lol
Another fantastic tutorial! These are golden nuggets of information. Thanks Chris.
I have just started painting in oils, after many years with acrylics, and have joined a plein air group. All great fun but your videos are immensely helpful with all of this. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for an Easter posting.....was not expecting it today....your instruction is better than Easter candy☺️
Perfect timing as I’ve been struggling with a landscape painting that I just haven’t been able to get right. Thank you!!
I have been doing your guides and tips! Very helpful for my improvement.
You're amazing! I'm learning so much here. Thank you Chris ❤️ very grateful 🌼
I learn so much from your explanations during your painting process! Thank you for your excellent videos!
One of the best tutorials I’ve seen!
I will be watching this video again and again as it is packed with information on color , value.composition etc and how painting these small studies will help with attempting larger versions....thanks Chris.
Thank you for your great advice on landscape painting! I love painting landscapes the most and I always get a giggle out of your coffee ‘breaks’ 😄
Wow. This is an amazing video jam packed with information for painting landscapes. I've taken copious notes amd look forward to watching more. Thank you
Thank you Chris I hope you get to 100k subs and thank you again our coach
These tutorials are great. Well explained, simple, clear. Thanks Chris.
You make it so simple to understand. Going from rough to detail is the key. And how much detail you want to put it's totally up to you. When i look at those paintings they are not so much detailed, but they are looking so good. Especially in the thumbnail it looks like a photo! Thanks for it, i learned so much.
I paint in watercolor and sometimes acrylic, but i watch your channel because you explain values and composition very well
There is so so much useful stuff in this video - landscape painting is so hard to get right, especially working from photos. You explain & simplify everything - a million thanks!
Your videos are so well done and informative...have learned so much! Thank you!
Great tips coach! I was never inspired to paint landscape but you have changed that, your paintings are so beautiful and I am inspired to give it a try 💕🥰❤️♥️😻
Chris, awesome tutorial! I’ve got a boatload of small landscapes to complete, and this is a gem of a video. Thanks SO much!
The best teacher ever.
Deserves support.
His confidence shows through in his brush strokes.
So helpful Chris! I work with watercolors but I’ve learned alot about composition and value from you! One of these days I’ll get the courage to try oils!
This is extremely helpful. Very to the point and informative. Thank you
You blow my mind when I grow up I want to be like you. Amazing
The most important thing I learned is that these small landscapes look like a a whale of a lot of fun. I imagine this is a wonderful exercise to loosen up and see the large shapes. You provided a huge amount of information on value and color in these little jewels!!
myakka state park florida! that’s where im from! wooohoo!
Thanks again for taking the time please keep up the good work sinsa
Such mastery over this medium!वाउ superb!
I am slowly working on my PhD from Fornataro University. This was a BIG help!!! You are literally helping me realize my dream of being an artist- love you, Chris. Seriously, though.
Thanks Coach! My plan is to ASAP store my stuff, and hit the road in my van, travel, and do some Plein Air stuff. Your vids have been both instructional, and inspirational. I wish I had some magical B/W value study glasses like you do. Squinting only goes so far.
That sounds awesome! I've always wanted to travel the country painting
I watch a lot of art videos but rarely leave a comment..bravo ! Gracias ! Your teaching style is above and beyond any I've seen. I do acrylic painting but I still learn a lot from you.
Absolutely amazing. Wish I could get off my a** and start painting again !
I am getting so much for your videos. Thank you!
Beautiful paintings!!
Useful. You are improving my painting. Will look at your courses. Well done.
WOW really like it!!
Thank you so much you are a great artist and teacher!!!!!

Need to watch this at least 10 more times so much info...Thank you...
Absolutely brilliant video, particularly enjoyed this one!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@paintcoach I certainly did. These little images really pop in that 2x2 arrangement, definitely something I'm going to try.
Thanks a lot,coach!
Amazing demos! from Louisiana, USA
Thank you for this great instruction!
Thank u so much for this video
I love your style so freakin muchhh
So cool!🤗☺️
My favorite painting star ⭐
Thank you!
Thank you! 🔥🔥
Could you make a video about how much medium to use each time you paint a new color or layer. I’ve been struggling with this every time I’ve been painting.
Love your videos 👍👍👍
That's a really good tip!
Great. Thank you
Thank you!!
Great video! Thanks, Chris :)
Great tips thank you!
This guy is really talented as a Teacher/Instructor.
I love your videos, you are so clear. Will you make a video of how you create those pretty colors?
Nice one chris
Merry Christmas, 2021 !
So good 😱 thank you 🙊💕
Great vid! At the 2:00 mark, you say the same thing I just read in Greg Albert's book "The Simple Secret to Better Painting" -- which is, essentially, Never make any 2 intervals the same
super video, thanks very much!
Thanks brotha
"Economy of brushtroke": gotta remember this!
Cool🤗
Did your father or mother paint? what i was impressed with your teaching was the speed of your painting! that helps me to have patience to finish my painting! you know how fast you can paint that looks beautiful! amazing!
Love your videos!! Could you do some videos on compositions please :)
Great talk
Could you do a video on how to read a reference?
IM EARLY!! Love this
Really great work & helpful tips. I struggle with doing water, in the sense that too much detail takes away from the aesthetic of a painting, but too little detail and it loses it's realism/affect. Are there any good tips you have to keep a good balance there; and also, do you think it's always necessary to add a background for a portrait? Cheers Chris:)
IMHO a background isn't truly necessary, provided you go for either a more unfinished or hyper-realistic look. The latter pops up so strong it doesn't need a background or minimal at best. By the way do you mean complete absence as in blank canvas behind the figure or at least an even color? If the first the edges of the head can be a bit too pronounced because it hasn't something to blend with it. Though an unusual color and the edge needs pronouncing.
Paint Coach his Jack Nicholson is only one color, not a true background. In contrast The thumbnails of his "check my courses below" show the old man with patches of color giving outside feel to living it up quite a bit. Both work, just handled differently. On a final note I would say blank canvas as background works better with watercolor than other mediums such as oil, because the study more easily can have an "early stage" look that is in fact finished.
Myakka! Love that place. Dive 30 more minutes east on 72 and get you some raw milk at jersey acres :P
Hi Chris, thanks so much for these tips! Do you sell your studies?
Hi Chris, again a very instructive video, thx. For value skills may i give two further hints? There is a notanizer app for phones, that converts your photos in 2,-3-, or 4-values black&white pictures.
Good for checking and training values estinamtion. (Notan is japanese für b/w balance.) Another guy here, also a good coach (Malcom Dewey) recommends for training loose painting b/w thumbnails with a marker in a scetch book (fast and with "drive out of the wrist") and then as real painting start transposing this notan with dark blue on your canvas (very similar to your prcedure). This together with the notanizer is a nice training setting. (I hope is is ok to mention Dewey by name as you talk about other coaches like ian roberts and chelsea lang yourself.) Many thanks for all your good stuff. Jochen from Germany
Hi, thank you for the amazing detailed instructions! I was just wondering what type of paint you're using oil/acrylic/tempera? Also what kind of paper or canvas is best for this? Thank you!
he’s using oil
Hi, I got into oil painting in the last week or so, and i already saw some great result, but one thing is really keeping me from exploring and practicing, and that is the fear that my colors are going to dry too fast (they always do) so i'd have to waste a lot of material; one other side effect of this same issue is that i have some problem with brushing a lot of colour, I can't carry much color into a single brush, so i have to go back to grabbing the color way too often.
You sure you are using oil. Not acrylics? Oils take literally days to dry.
Hey Paint Coach! I wanted to ask, do you think that people can learn a few fundamentals of oil painting by practicing with procreate and using brushes that resemble paint brushes? Understandably, color mixing will have to be learned outside of procreate, but if I want to practice on procreate with an IPad I already own, could I learn something of oil paint without having to spend money right now?
Where do you get reference photos? Do you mostly take them yourself or do you use some website, database....? DO you have any recommendations for such things? Other then that I really enjoy your vidos and I watch them as soon as they come out. You are really an inspiration to me and thank you for your good work!
Are you using a big canvas here? What size is it? Also i see a black board thing on your easel a lot. What is that Chris? Love your channel, complete newbie and im learning a lot from you
What size brushes are best with small works
Can I use your course for acrylic too?
If you are painting with oils everyday ....how do you keep your palette wet...????? I'm using open acrylic everyday as it's easy to keep them wet in stay wet palette.itrued the same with oils with adding poppy oil, stand oil etc even with water mixable oils but nothing stays wet....skin forms after 3days even in a closed box. Any suggestions to keep wet?
Can you make a video on having painting as a career?
Great lesson! I wish you talked slower. But one of the best lessons! Great job.
Do you use acrylic paint or what type of paint please anyone answer pllssss??
Hi,what is the size in inches?
Hi Chris I have a question , did you ever ordered supplies from Jerry’s Artarama? I wanted to order some painting supplies from there but I’m not really sure if it’s a good and legit shop, I tried to search about it but couldn’t find the answers I wanted. Do you know anything about it, if it’s a great website to order from or not ?
I have used Jerry’s for years. Great quality, value and customer service when necessary. I like the linen canvas pads Chris recommends for studies and Jerry’s exclusive DaVinci panels for my work. Lots of green, less toxic options. Hope this helps-
@@cindypeyton4596 Thank you so much. And also one more question, do you know how long it usually takes to deliver the orders ?
@@Rosie-xk9hg within a week with free shipping so takes a little planning. Ive done the $2 expedited handling bit found it didn’t make much difference in delivery times.
Get Painting! 😊
They are great! I can't recommend them enough
@@cindypeyton4596 ok thanks!
I have failed three times at a large painting, I paid about $80.00 bucks for the canvas, can I use paint remover on it to try again? And yes I need to go back to painting smaller. Thanks coach.
i think you can
I'm pretty sure you can. My art teacher says you need to remove the layers of the paint with the palette knife and apply the acrylic primer on a canvas. Actually, I suggest using paper for oil painting, it's cheaper than canvas, so you don't have to spend a lot of money every time you're not satisfied with the result :)
If the paint is dry you can simply paint over the top of it. Some painters will even paints a solid mid tone to cover up any distracting details from the previous painting. If your paint was super thick you might want to sand down the canvas, however be very careful not to inhale any of the dust. Good luck!
I myself suggest that you just let it dry...be patient
Is your foundations class online or on DVd
online
What is it that you enjoy during painting? Is it the colours?is it the meditativeness? Is colour mixing? Is it brush strokes? Why are true artists addictive to process than results?
I wish like soft pastels...oils were available in all colours and stay wet inside stay wet palette....then....I could paint easily 20minutes everyday after day job
Recently I followed Dianne mize instruction of reading loud , writing about the reference photo... example your LA sunset photo...? nontechnical...meaning...saying this photo has sunset...looks warm evening with some cool shadows...trees looks bit still...road in front looks cooling off the day...etc...then speaking technical.. perspective,. composition...values, temperature etc....th is way I find I get map...to flow through the painting and can reassess at the end whether I met all the above.
You just gently touch with a brush while I work hours and hours and hours to take some form😭
Me again: so can I sign up for like an intense, in-person training week? 😅Is that a thing? It should be- if it’s not- and I wanna be the first one. Please. And thank you, in advance.😘
