    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.

    1. Block out values of whole piece as under layer
    2. Add in colour for each section - start with average colour (squinting down) - allows to push lighter and darker
    3. Grayscale filter allows you to gauge values
    4. Every piece of canvas covered in paint
    Details
    5. Ligher/darker value shapes
    6. Consider light sources - sharp/dim, warm/cool, near/far, secondary light sources
    7. Consider planes (not smooth sphere)
    8. Don't forget background/floor + reflected light of object onto floor

I painted an apple and then tried a portrait immediately)))) i chose some photo of a man and tried to follow the same process that i had with the apple one. The result is not look-a-like, BUT! I managed all those shadows and highligts thing that i never could do before watching your video.
