Try starting a painting from a photo or photos. Then after 10 minutes , put the pictures away and try finishing from memory. But for only a further 10 minutes. In 30 minutes you may have a painting but it will definately encourage you to speed up WHEN you go outside.
Beyond your obvious talent, you have a real warmth and a kind of thoughtfulness that's all too rare these days. Thank you for sharing that with us. I hope you are recognized as extraordinary in the categories you inhabit.
Great work. By watching kids paint and viewing their work I find one must paint with a kids mind on one thought to keep things loosely… Your work will help me get away from the to tight painting.. Thanks for video and I subbed you. May God bless.
Monet discovered that light changes every 6-7 mins which resulted in pieces like his Hay stacks, working on them simultaneously, switching out his canvases every few minutes
And art has learned that Monet had an eye difference also. He saw things differently too. I wondered why I was unable to see nature in a similar , Impressionistic , way as the first exponents did . Plus , not enough attention paid to the instance of tubed paint. This enabled artists to venture outside more easily.
A lovely video. First time on this channel. I think much of what you said can be applied to all media. Practice, learn from mistakes, get confident and deliberate. Great painting. Oh, and I'd recommend plein air (going out into nature and painting directly) for any artist who feels locked up. It's invigorating.
BTW. for those without an Edge system, to use stick on velcro tabs ...and the same on a sheet of firm board or, as I use Coreflute, is a similar outcome, works for me.
Really clear and helpful. I appreciate your thoughts on thinking the painting through before hand and understanding what will continue to be compelling to you. It seems so obvious, but someone had to say it for it to be so. Thanks!
I’ve been locked in with my vintage cars for so long , sometimes it’s difficult for me to paint really loose. I did paint a little 5x7 yesterday and just doing that , it was a nice change of pace. The painting is almost finished . Usually it takes me weeks to finish a painting.
Thank you thank you so much for this lesson. I am a beginner painter and still trying to learn the fundamental techniques and seeing this real time demo is truly valuable. I also appreciated the insightful and honest commentary. I'm looking forward to more of your videos. 💯
Forgive the "correction", but when you're painting from photos the "hardness or softness of the edges" is decided by the painter, NOT by the photo. Successful painting from photos is much harder than painting from life since it requires much more of the painter's artistical intelligence and knowledge of form. I get very tired of the idea that painting from photos is bad, because so many of the paintings done from photos are bad. There are zillions of bad paintings painted from life; does that mean we shouldn't paint from life? Obviously not. To quote an old adage: it's not the wand (the model, be it a photo or otherwise), it's the magician. However, the magician has to be properly trained in a modern academy. One has to KNOW what one is doing.
thanks so much , chelsea, for another wonderful video, and some great tips!! i paint in gouache, and watercolors ( norakag ), and i find so many of your tips snd thoughts applicable and helpful to me, regardless of using different mediums .. thanks so much for your generosity in sharing .. be well and have great weekend 👍👍
New subscriber here, from the moment I started watching your vid I knew I'm at the right place. I can really relate to all you've said about this one😊 thank you so much for the tips. Will definitely go through your list👍
Thanks Chelsea that was really lovely. I look at your tutorials over and over, do you dip your brush into your Gamsol first and then pick up the oils next. Does that not mess up your oils, or do you have two pallettes ?
Hi Chelsea. Your explanations about the painting process and psychology behind art really resonates with me. Could you please recommend any books you might know about regarding the psychology of art or painting or the psychology of the artist? Thank you so much for all you do!
I make a small sketch of what I might want to paint. This will be out side and only work quickly. This is what I will work from to ensure I don't get bogged down with detail. If by chance I do work from a photo, again I make a sketch. This is some times a large A1 size sheet of paper. Another way to work from a photo is use software that can blur the image.
Somebody used the word eloquent, yes. very inciteful, and need to say more but a thank you will suffice. I use Acrylic's but many thing are common with oils. obtaining average values and not blending or hundreds of smaller brush strokes would be useful to me. but never the less, you are helping immensly. Ta
I don't like painting outdoors and the hassle it entails. I only work from photos. To paint looser don't use small brushes and take your photo and place it further away so you can't see the details.
The combination of strokes with material difference is interesting. It would be better to have mentioned the palette you used, although it can be inferred. Thank you
beautiful painting. Thanks for sharing! Could you share what colors you mixed for the initial underpainting of the foreground area and the purple sky wash?
Loved this video :) I know absolutely nothing about oil painting but love your art and your helpful videos so thats why I subscribed as soon as I found your channel a while ago. Like I had no idea oil paint could go on so watery...well, obviously medium or oil I guess, not water, but you get my point. Very cool. I'm using our kitchen to learn so haven't wanted to get into solvents and things...but maybe one day if I can get better and also a better set up :) But this advice is awesome for helping me loosen up in acrylics and watercolor too. Drives me crazy how hard it is to loosen up!! I'll feel like I'm being loose, and before we know it I'm up close, tensely holding my brush doing too much detail :/ or obsessing about what I'm doing wrong...which is probably a lot😳 but I'll start with the intention of 'just for fun...loosen up!' but always fall back into overworking it or overthinking it and ends up too tight or too stressful. So....I'm just teaching myself as an old lady, so not like expecting amazing, but it us frustrating to have these things in my head I need to get out only to have them not be at all what I intended. I'm also impatient and in a lot of pain always so that adds to the impatience 😊 so....just trying to also teach myself to slow down and breathe and not get as mad at myself....though I also suck at that! Aaahahahaa anyway, love your channel and advice and always look forward to your videos :) Thanks so much for taking the time to share them!!!
This is really excellent. However, I feel that much of the information contained in this video, would have been hugely more informed if you'd shown us the reference you were painting from. It's such a shame, as only by seeing that does the student truly appreciate the lessons being imparted, imo. Still, a great video, thank you.
Disagree. The entire subtext of her voiceover, super informative, makes viewing the reference shot a low priority. I loved this, and gained a lot from it.
Problem with a reference pic is that you will try to automatically create what you see, including more detail than youd need. This is silly hard for me as i draw hyperrealism, i struggle with leaving detail out and drawing more losely. Id love to be able to stylize my work more and draw with a loseness that hyperrealism just doesnt really allow. Even though i pencil draw i still took from this video...thanks! 👍
@@sderb2562 I tried an exercise couple days ago, to prove that I COULD paint loose...lol I wound up drawing AND painting tight almost from the first strokes. It was soo annoying. Lol I just LIVE detail. Granted, it came out MUCH looser than my normal work but it you could still see most of the twigs and leaves on the trees, and even a few blades of grass lol in the end tho, I think it's key to paint like you, and enjoy it. Not to strain over being the elusive "loose painter" u know. Ya, I think u do lol
@@DCweldingAndArtid have to second the LIVE detail comment lol. I love how I draw and embrace it fully. But theres ideas I have, that never come out right...because the detail creeps in or you end up thinking "I'll just tidy that bit up a little" and before you know it...its developed a clean detailed look again 😀 you just cant fight of the detail! 🤓
Je vous découvre et je suis surprise de tant de simplicité ! J'aime beaucoup ce que vous faites. Dommage que je ne comprenne pas ce que vous dites et il n'y a malheureusement pas de traduction en français. Pourriez vous l'activer svp. Merci pour le plaisir que vous inspirez.
It helps protect the painting. Also, it evens out the sheen of the painting. With oils (and often acrylics) you'll often get passages that are shiny and some that are more matte. A varnish gives it an even look. Hope this helps.
The point of varnishing an oil painting is first to unify the surface quality and bring back the depth of the color, particularly the darker colors. As oil paint cures it can become matte and lose the depth it had when it was wet. I say “cure” because oil paint doesn’t actually “dry” or evaporate, it oxidizes when exposed to air. Varnishing brings the painting back to the state of freshness that it had when it was first painted. Secondly varnishing adds a layer of protection over the oil paint. Over the life of a painting it will be exposed to dust, soot, dander, and general grime and having a protective layer over the oil paint ensures the paint will not be compromised by these things. After many years as the varnish ages and is no longer a benefit to the painting it can easily be removed by gently applying solvent to the surface of the painting. This will reactivate the varnish and it can be lifted off with soft cotton cloth or cotton swabs. Then new varnish can be reapplied bringing the painting back to the state it had when it was new. I’m a painting conservator and I have had to do this to oil paintings many times. It’s wise to varnish your paintings just use caution and make sure the painting is ready for varnishing. Premature application of varnish can interrupt the curing process of the paint and that has a whole host of issues itself. Generally wait at least a month for safety, two weeks can be enough provided the paint was applied thinly. If you must varnish a painting for a show and you’re not sure if it’s fully dry I suggest applying a “retouch varnish” . This type of varnish gives you the unified surface of a fresh painting but it still allows the air to penetrate so the painting can continue to cure. I hope this helps.

Great & beautiful! What mediums are you using??? You didn't say. I assume a gum turpentine/solvent with paint to start, but you add what medium to make it run so nice?
Love your style and the colour palette is really lovely. I signed up to find out what it was but there was just a large list. How can I find out what colours you used for the initial sky and the sunset yellows and peach tone please?
Chelsea, you once mentioned a book on alla prima painting. The best I can remember it was written by a man named Cameron? Is that the authors name?..The painting a day for 30 days is a goal. And the idea of not mixing on the canvas but on the palette is very helpful.
Thanks for all the sharing of experience you’ve given in this tutorial. Working through or around these impediments and challenges take a lot of effort and time. You’re a blessing and I look forward to following your work.
Yes, Ms Lang is a very talented artist, however when it teaches she does not mention what kind of hue she takes fron the palette and this is exactly what we, the learners , want to know I think, choosing the colors are the most important part of the process. Please Ms Lang mention the color you are using, we want to continue to watch you in Tou tube, we love it because your are most accomplished painter.
Great tips. Thanks . If you answer questions I have one about the color mix you used in the first wash. A beautiful gray that looks like magenta ,ultra , and b sennia?
CHELSEA am 84 and painted little - love your work and willingness to share all to us wannabees - I am however, disappointed in that you don't show and/or describe your palette as you paint - To many of us it is the mixing and application, along with sizes of brushes to use, that creates stumbling blocks for us inexperienced - NOT a complaint Chelsea, just a 'request' more or less - thank you and continued success and good health in all that you do
she said that if she is using Gamvar, its a couple weeks after she paints it, but as I understand it, most varnish manufacturers recommend 4-6 months for your painting to dry fully, before varnishing
You should make a big landscape with the same process so that we can see exactly what you talking about. This process is nowhere Academics. I believe that Masters like Vangog Tuner and others really love this style. Just working the canvas understanding the flow of the pigment no plan just appreciated what it can do😊👍
Eighteen minutes and Thirty six seconds well spent today learning from you ! Watching from Hong Kong. Thanks for the gift, much appreciated.
The advice on figuring out the composition alone was worth the time. Thank you Chelsea.
After watching your video, I realise I should paint more thank you, I like the single placement of brush strokes without to much fussing around.
Try starting a painting from a photo or photos. Then after 10 minutes , put the pictures away and try finishing from memory. But for only a further 10 minutes.
In 30 minutes you may have a painting but it will definately encourage you to speed up WHEN you go outside.
That’s an excellent suggestion!

I just have to say I love the way you speak. Your tone and pauses.... may seem like an odd thing to compliment, but I really noticed it.
Great tutorial Chelsea. Loving the energy in brush strokes and mark making.
Hi Chelsea. Thanks for the information. Can you make a video on how you edit your reference to bring the desired effect ??
Excellent information, thanks! That unconscious patting habit is a great point, the mind is tricky bugger indeed.
Loved seeing the real time and all of your commentary. Thanks!
Thanks for the willingness to share this loose painting. The type of style I like. I would like to paint a portrait of my children.
Hilberto: try to paint other people's portrait first, the most dificult are your own children. Best of luck.
BTW. for those without an Edge system, to use stick on velcro tabs ...and the same on a sheet of firm board or, as I use Coreflute, is a similar outcome, works for me.
Love the bright yellow and orange sky!
Such useful information, wonderful brushwork, beautiful oil painting.
