I think the student’s painting at 13:45 was brilliant. Everything is taken slightly further than yours, but in a way I like. It’s still loose enough, and yet it looks like you could reach out and grab everything. I would certainly consider purchasing something like that.
I'm on the fence about each one. I liked how simplified the student's work was, and how the cow seems to have attitude, but I did like the rendering in his as well. I think part of the problem with teaching is trying to give students who are well on their way something extra to take away from the lesson. It's much easier to do when a student is starting out, but later on it becomes more and more subjective vs. objective or personal opinion vs. universally agreed upon as "better".
He didn't take into consideration that the student painted hydrangeas, while his were another type of flower...it would be a different shape and different values as they are shaped differently. i can clearly tell what type of flower the student painted. That being said, I do think their vase has too many values, and the rest looks better overall than his reference painting. (though the student's grapes do seem to be floating in air...meaning not enough value on the table to show where they lie properly.
Thank you for the answer to the painters’ problem. Please don’t forget to repeat, repeat and repeat these problem because many people like me, forget, forget and forget
You critiques my apples! Thank you! The feedback certainly helps and I'm glowing that you liked my brush strokes. You have absolutely made me a better painter! Thank you!
I got the hang of painting cars, I struggled with my vehicles in the foreground . I learned to adjust the looseness and tightness in painting compositions. Every day I paint, is a learning lesson. I can relate to your teachings, it helps a lot. Thank you!!!
Thanks Chris! This was awesome. I was so excited when I saw my Margarita painting flash in the beginning! Please do more of these critiques as I sure learn a lot from them!
Can we talk about how the student’s grapes and orange at 13:20 look hyper realistic? Wow. For the rest of the painting, I feel as though the flowers weren’t hyperrealistic enough actually, and it seemed two different styles of painting occurring from top to bottom. Also the background was very flat black and didn’t have much depth. Overall a lot of strengths in that painting if you’re going for hyperrealism instead of an impressionist piece. Being able to execute a specific style consistently throughout a piece is not an easy task.
I wish, in your "persona" as the Paint Coach, you would do an avant-garde piece - which of course as you know is what the artist does over time - video being the perfect format for such a bit of esoteric adventure. Something along the lines of wrestling someone in a large tube of paint costume (pick the color) in a small inflatable pool filled with washable non-toxic colors, all of this done in downtown Sarasota, the media having been alerted before-hand of course. While these instructional videos are helpful, something like that would certainly provide a needed relief and texture.
I disagree with the painting at 13:15 . It was really well made, everything was better and more polished in comparision with your painting and the balance was not disrupted by the details added.
As someone who's still getting started with paint this is really helpful. Looking at you show what should be improved really makes everything so clear. I have such a huge problem with picking colors. It's just like, i know what colors I'm seeing but when i try to paint them it just looks off.
Chris I have watched all your videos and I am looking forward to your portrait course when it's ready. I wondered if you would do a video on art and its various genres and how the fundamentals are used or sometimes omitted . Basically why and what makes good art. Eg is it absolutely necessary to use the fundamentals to create good art as some genres or artists.ie picasso, van gogh and others sometimes break the rules. What makes good art Chris ? Many thanks scott
Hey, Chris! Any chance that you might do a brief video on how you use PhotoShop to simplify values? I understand how to reduce a photo to black and white to study value, but I cannot seem to figure out how to create the large shapes (like you do) in color so I can look at composition and value in a simple way.
You are a wonderful teacher! I learned lot of things from your videos, thank you so much. I'll be grateful if you make a video or give me a guidance about painting fire.
Going back to an older video, Reusing old canvas. I’m an airbrush artist that has been doing some thrift store art. I’ve been lucky and haven’t got an oil painting. Can you recommend a clear that I can shoot over an oil painting as a barrier? Created has their clears which claim to be like a polyurethane? What about clear enamel, epoxy, automotive clears all are oil based?? Any recommendations would be appreciated!! Tom…
I notice you always mix the colours you need as you go along. I've always mixed all the colours I think I'll need before I start painting. I think my way is wrong. What are the benefits of your way? Perhaps you could do a video on managing all aspects of your palate that includes an answer to my question. Thanks.
Your way is not wrong at all. There is no specific rule about mixing colours earlier or mid painting. For some painters, certain tonal values pops up in their mind during the painting process and they mix those tones and improvise. Others prepare a certain amount of color tones earlier and this works too! Especially for portraits and bigger works
I don't think you're wrong. When you premix, you just need to make sure that your premixed colors are right from the start before putting the colors on the canvas. I've seen some artist blur their reference to get the basic color values, then print it out. Cut it up to separate the colors you'll need, then mix the colors according to those cut outs as reference. Personally I have no patience to do all that. But it might help you if you prefer that method.
Many many people pre mix the colors they think they'll use and then they adjust the tones and hues in those pre mixed colors as needed. It's just a different technique nothing wrong with it.
Respectfully, the more of these I watch, the more I firmly start believing that the biggest thing that the students are lacking, is not enough experience really delving into colour theory. You need to really *study* all the properties of your individual paints. Hue, value, chroma, temperature, harmony, and in doing so you will begin to accurately predict what colour is needed (and why it is needed) - as well as how to mix it

I have to agree, I actually liked the way it looked better but in my opinion, some of the student paintings just seemed more lively.

i prefer the left side too. but his point about the flowers lacking form is a good one. left side they look a bit flat

I agree.... I often find I prefer the "student" version.... clearly, we are not snooty art experts 🤣🤣

Always come back to the Paint Coach when I need some inspiration to keep trying!

Agreed, but overall, looking at the two pictures if I had to choose one to be on my wall, I would choose the student's painting.
Yeah totally the student really did a great job!! So realistic!
My oil painting has improved a lot since watching Chris. I’ve learned so much from him.

Did you know caffeine messes with your view of color?
@@soysaucekitty that's interesting, i didn't know that but i don't think that would be the problem in my case
It was brilliant
Thanks Chris!

You need to use the Median filter, under Filters -> Noise
@@NicolasConnault you are a king.
I was looking for the right name of the filter

Where are your courses

My paintings always look like a paint-by-numbers. HELP!
i like the student's cow better, i'm sorry. the colors are just more defined and well placed

I like the student’s better than the teacher though
Same
🔥👏
Maybe you could explain by showing us?
I can't afford to be a Patreon so can you please do a video on reacting to my Instagram followers art
I like the "student" version of the blue flowers still life a lot more than the "master" ... I like the hard edge and contrasting colors!
i like the students more
i like the student's painting better than the master's one in this...
students painting at 13:45 was just better than yours lol
the same goes for 14:26
Student did waaay better than you at 13:15 lol. Less is more? No.
I am thinking the same
without seeing the original reference photo, youre just comparing it to your photo which is assuming you did it "perfectly".
s: cow t: pig
Tvoje slikanje nije majstorsko
sorry but the students' ones are way better
I am not impressed with your paintings
If you don't have Photoshop you can use Photopea. It's like Photoshop, but free: www.photopea.com/
