    Two days ago I bought the basics, and yesterday I built an easel. Today I will watch, listen, and learn. And tomorrow, the brush hits the canvas for the very first time.
    Don't you just love being outta your depth when you take the first step of exploration on a new journey?
    Thanks to everyone here and your priceless words of advice.

    I cannot emphasize enough how valuable your tutorials have become over the year or so I have been subbed to your channel. I have learned, and continued to learn, not how to paint, but, exponentially more significantly, how to think about and approach painting, from composition to color, to confidence. Dude, you are, imo, truly the best.

    I've been a colored pencil artist for a few years and have recently wanted to branch out into oil painting as well. You are so good at taking complex concepts and making them easy to understand. I went out and bought the basic oil painting supplies, but then was like "Uhhhh...what do I do now?" I'm so glad I found your channel - I've been binge watching your content for days now. Once I finish my current project, I'm going to start your foundations of oil painting course, and I can't wait!

    Your comment on drawing is so inspiring bc I didn’t know people were tracing and using all these tools to create these beautiful portraits whereas I’ve been drawing/ sketching freehand all along! I was being so hard on myself but this makes me feel
    like I’m on a good track, I’m a really good drawer :)

      Your comment made me smile. Good on you EM. I went to art school in the eighties. In the UK we do a one year Foundation in Art & Design to try out different disciplines (textiles, graphics, photography etc) to discover what our next direction will be. It was acknowledged I was 'good at drawing', but 'there is no degree course for drawing so best you do graphics.' I was discounted for a career in Fine Art because THE ONE AFTERNOON of color mixing practice we got, my colors were considered too muddy and so I CLEARLY didn't have enough talent to paint. I asked my tutor to give me direction so I could improve. His comment? ''Huh, so you thought you'd come to art school and you'd be taught how to paint?' He said it without a hint of irony. 🙄
      So I too feel vindicated now. All these years later. And like you, I'm a really good drawer. 😁

    I usually recommend to my students a split primary palette (2 versions of each primary like a cool and warm red) plus white and brown. You can basically mix any color needed that way and you still gain a vast understanding of mixing and primary usage.

    @EyeLean5280 8 месяцев назад

    More colors doesn't have to be more complicated if you really understand them. I recommend Michael Wilcox's Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green 2nd Edition. Read it, understand it, and create for yourself the color charts you find in there. You still won't won't need a ton of colors, but you'll know by the time you've worked through the book what beyond the three traditional primaries will give you the options you're looking for. FOR EXMPLE: check out the mud created when he attempts to mix violet at 0:34. That's great if you're painting a picture of mud. But if you're painting a floral, it would really help to know that you should have both an orangey red (as shown here) AND a violet red (like quinacridone magenta) in your paint box. In fact, I see a violet red on his palette at 7:02 (looks to me like Alizarin Crimson or something similar). As someone who's been teaching art since 1996, trust me when I say you won't understand color any better by restricting yourself to the three primaries shown at the beginning than if you go buy every color under the sun.

    Hey Coach, I found a way to use a roku tv to upload photos to a tv to paint from without having to have a tablet.
    It's called Play on Roku. I tried it out on my 19" flat screen in my studio.
    I just use the Roku app on my phone, connect to a device, click on media, select photos, cast to tv and viola, I now have large image of a photo to paint from.

    Chris, I was wondering if you would consider doing a video on getting past perfectionism or fear of making bad work. It doesn't seem like you struggled much with painting paralysis in the past, but do you relate to this issue at all? Did you ever feel uninterested in practicing because you didn't want to disappoint yourself? I struggle with this all the time in painting. Bad painting = bad artist.. that's the paralyzing thought process. I really envy the mindset you and other prolific artists have where all paintings are progress and learning. It's so easy to get caught up in the end result, and I'm curious to hear your take on that. Thank you as always for the awesome and inspiring content!

    • @superkamiguru4615
      @superkamiguru4615 Год назад +1

      I know I’ve seen him address this in another video! 🥰 I believe he said to try & push the paint around but don’t get too wrapped up in the details right away. Focus on the big shapes first then add the values & different shades as you go. And that if you view it as a process rather than get overly stressed in the beginning that it’s not looking right it can help. And of course take breaks whenever you need it. It’s certainly easy getting in your own head & overwork a painting so sometimes it’s as simple as looking at it with fresh eyes can be beneficial

    The limited palette is so true. I have a 6 color palette that i started with and still use. I have since added 3 short cut colors bc having Burnt Sienna is REALLLLLLLLY useful for toned greys. (I am also a watercolor artist so somethings are a little different)
    Edit: i have been painting for almost 7 years at this point and only just added the new colors

    I'm using a nail to hand a windowscreen with a box tabed at the bottom to give it an angle. I have boxes stacked in eachother on their sides taped open for stability both inside a large box to be my palate holder and be a station for shipping and storage of all my stuff. The area of this paintstation, not including the table at highlight for personal stability that's unusable standing is like 2.5 ft by 4. Just eyeballing but I am very accurate been designing houses since I was 12 am currently 21 so my grasp on dimension is so unbelievably good lol. Don't let budget stop you. I'm using screen given to me by my landlord, same as the table, and boxes from Amazon shipments lol dollar tree has good canvas board selection and sometimes stretched canvases

  • @richmoab
    @richmoab 2 года назад

    I picked a single, popular instructor when I started painting in 2018. It's quite specialized "color by numbers" type of alla prima style best suited to realism in portraits and still lifes. It ends up with a really long "ugly" stage, you need a special studio setup, and paint additives to slow drying time. You premix a ton of colors first (thankfully, from the primaries). It turned out to be a terrible method for landscapes and plein air, which was what I wanted to do. I have been struggling to "unlearn" it ever since I found your videos and the Kevin Macpherson books. Your instruction and approach allows me to paint anything well. Thanks Chris!

  • @rebeccasartcorner
    @rebeccasartcorner 2 года назад +11

    I feel like the biggest thing holding me back is that in my head I need a “style”. For many years I have been too focused on it and I feel like it have gotten me nowhere. I’m really trying hard to let that mindset go and just paint/sketch everything I enjoy, and focus on getting better on those thing. But it’s hard af😅

    • @RatusMax
      @RatusMax 2 года назад +3

      When you focus on the process you'll find shortcuts, gain experience, and find multiple solutions to problems while painting. Those become a style. Your own personal style. That's your first foundation base style. You've created a process that can repeat that quality of work. Then you'll probably slowly incorporate other artists style over time to your own style to refine it. Learning what you liked and disliked about them. Then you will create another new base style. Then the cycle just keeps going over time. It's not something one wakes up one day and says, " this is my style". All humans take from previous humans to build their own style. This is the process of learning. Every human does this. No human is truly unique.
      When building a style give yourself an initial goal on who you want your paintings to look like first. Mine is vaguely Sargent as I don't have to deal with details if I don't want to. I find it easier to just keep the large shapes in there and manipulate it just enough for the brain do the work of making sense of it. You know like optical illusions.

    • @hookedbycrafting5348
      @hookedbycrafting5348 Год назад

      Style will come when you do the same thing with little changes to it 20 times. Like do a bunch of dishes on a table. Change the position of the light, move the dishes closer or farther, stack them, change the color of the table, add a table cloth...just some ideas to get you started

    Maybe for beginners it's important to stick with primaries, but I feel that can also hold you back quite a bit. I'd definitely recommend sticking with single pigment colours, but each pigment has its own drying time and transparency. It's good to limit your pallette to only what you need, but I feel like you're bottlenecking yourself by only familiarizing yourself with 4 pigments especially "primaries" of ultra marine blue (transparent) and cadmium Red and yellow (opaque.) You can't get a good purple and the cadmium red and yellow won't glaze as well as the ultramarine.

    my biggest challenge in Arizona is the heat. I cannot leave paint in the garage where I have. My current "studio" set up (for lack of a better word. ) Other than heat it's ventilation. You have to have constant airflow. If you're using any type of solvents . I'm contemplating building a painting shed in the backyard somewhere but again I'm coming up against the heat issues. This is a problem for me because I hate caring Paint back-and-forth from the house every time I start a session .

    I like to not only choose a pigment for its colour but also its properties.
    Some are transparent, some are opaque. Some have a strong tint, some have a weak tint. Some are very glossy, some are a little more matte. Some a lighter, some are darker. Some are more saturated, some are less saturated. Some are lightfast, some aren't (it's a bad idea to buy paints that will fade in the first place but if you didn't know then you didn't know).
    With experience and experimentation you learn how to mix paint in such a way that not only has the right colour, but the right effect overall.
    If you want to really master the paint, it's less about using more paints or fewer paints, but choosing the most appropriate paints for whatever it is you're trying to do.
    I'd say don't put a colour on your pallette until you need to use it. If you want a highly saturated cool blue colour that you can glaze, ultramarine will never work as well as pthalo blue. If you want to mix a saturated purple without buying dioxazine purple, cadmium red will never work as well as magenta or alizeran crimson.
    I wasted a lot of paint as a beginner, but I also taught myself pretty quickly what works and what doesn't because I allowed myself to experiment.

    Escaping comfort zone is so important. Two years ago i only draw on small paper, then last year I bought a hardboard 250cm x 125cm and I started painting a massive painting that was really hard to paint. It was so hard, I got distracted fast and I painted different parts at one sitting, I did a lot of mistakes and I lost my shit a lot of times, but after 5 months of painting it I had to stop myself from painting it becouse it was finished and I enjoyed in painting it at the end. From some mistakes I learned, from some I didn't, but that 5 months upgraded my art so much

    I'm not a painter. I can't draw. I wish I could but, I don't have any natural talent. But, I am learning how to do 3D design and I love your last point. Many times I see an object someone created and I think how in the hell did they make that? It challenges me. So, I think about it and start designing. Before I know it, I have created a similar object. I raised my bar. Thank you for your video. Even though I will probably never pick up a paint brush again I learned things from your video.

    In other videos and even in your course you suggest Ultramarine Blue, Alizarin Crimson and Lemon Yellow for the three primaries. In this video you suggested Cad Red and CAD Yellow along with ultramarine blue. I’m confused. I think I prefer the latter. Can you please clarify. Thanks. I’m currently taking the Foundations course.

      Try both palettes! Don't limit yourself. Try using only secondaries, or only earth tones...I love limited palettes. I paint winter scenes in the desert with just burnt sienna, cerulean blue and titanium white with excellent results.

    Hello, can you do a video comparison or review at Chinnese paint brands such Maries, Talens or Phoenix and how is it different from European brands? I have a hard time on choosing oil paint brands since there's no many options in my country. I watch several review of oil paint brands and no one really did this before. I want to know if they actually have the same quality or not, thankyou.

    I am currently following two artist. One is a portrait painter and one is a figure drawing that is teaching me to get better at figure drawing. I am retired and spend part of my time figure drawing and part of my time at the easel painting.the painting artists does drawing also but I don’t think it conflicts with the figure drawing because it is more of a quick sketch for the painting. So iris like drawing figures 3 evenings a week and drawing and painting with the portrait artists during the day 5 days a week. So some days I am doing both. I love both classes and have been learning a lot. Do you think I am doing to much following two very different artist that don’t seem to conflict because they are very different.

    I suck at drawing but can paint pretty well. I think practicing painting eyes is the most helpful thing. You learn to paint shapes, values and hues rather than thinking of an eye and trying to "draw" it with paint. Actually turning the painting and image upside down can be helpful

    If you only use one red, yellow and blue, how do you get both warm and cool colors?

  • @sandyglass6367

    I went back to the course and now see the three primaries you work with are Cadmium Lemon, Alizarin Crimson and Ultramarine Blue. By mistake I bought Lemon Yellow and it seems very transparent.
    I have Cadmium Yellow Light Hue. Would that work for the yellow primary?

    • @laowaistudieschina7470
      @laowaistudieschina7470 Год назад

      I prefer Cad Yellow Light to Cad Lemon, but I don't think it's a big issue as long as you have the three primaries. As you go along you may find yourself swapping out one pigment for another.

    Hi Chris! Could u talk about the oil techniques of Norbert Bisky? His paintings are so bright and the color transitions almost look airbrushed - I would love to know why and love to see u explaining what happens there.
    Love and greeting from Germany! 👍🏼💪🏼
