Another great video Phil- hitting the essentials like "form" "light" "va.ue" etc and explaining it well. Wish I'd had clear instruction like this years ago.

[@philstarke.artist]

Glad it was helpful!

I love visible brushstrokes - it vibrates the movements and creates a subtile feeling of feeling forms - its like a moving/dancing/feeling the dynamics 🎵💚💙🩵🧡🎶

[@philstarke.artist]

Thick brushstrokes are great

[@TOPTENTRAVEL01]

I love the idea of blocking in with a wash of colors/values similar to what the final painting will have. Blocking in is such a challenge for me - I'm just too detail-oriented! Great lesson.

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks, the wash block in helps in keeping things simple.

I like the light and values in your paintings.

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks Dan

[@wendyoey2202]

Simplify, simplify, simplify! Thanks Phil, watching you do the actual brushstrokes using the three values and creating form is very helpful for me.

This demo is excellent Phil. Did you finish it, I would like to see the final result? The initial block in stage has all the value elements in place, so then you build on top of that, but mostly in the lights.

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks Mike, I haven't finished it yet, too busy finishing other paintings. I do like blocking in very thin and simple with darks and halftones then building up the lights and getting some subtle color changes. I'll send you an image when its done.

[@mikekean8002]

Appreciate that Phil, also your video quality is very good, the lighting and clarity really has a professional look to it.

[@15palmtree]

Great lesson, this information definitely helps me see how to construct an oil painting more efficiently. I sometimes start lightening my shadows too early on before working on the mid tones and highlights. For a painting that has a higher value key do you still block the "darkest" darks in first?

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks, I always (most of the time) start with the shadows, but not the darkest accents. I start with the overall dark, then towards the end add the darkest darks or accents.
