That value over colour tip is legit. If you don’t believe me, try a colour blind test in digital art where you mix up a palette, set to grey scale, paint using only light and dark value, then remove the grey scale filter; and enjoy
You are one of the few RUclipsrs who get right into it, no BS, no intro. Love that. Surprisingly, I watch most of your videos from start to end, even though you don't keep the best stuff for the end. In other videos, I just scroll forward, because I know there's a lot of blah blah first. Please keep it like that, it's great, unique and makes your videos so recommendable to others.
I stumbled on your channel and just kept watching. I'm a painter who did mostly print /textile design for years and just recently got back into fine arts. Your videos are good memory refreshers for what I learned in art school. A friend wants to learn to paint, I need to send your link to him!
Thank you Chris, this is one of your best videos. Keep it simple and clear. I've learned o much from you over the years, more than for the 4 years that I have completed at art school!
Good tips. I like the one about doing the shape and blends first then the texture. But all of them are good reminders when your reintroducing yourself to the medium.
I love your channel here. So helpful. Watching your commissions video. You talked about clients who want the painting to look like a photograph. I explain to them I'm a painter not a photographer and show the the difference.
I'm a self-taught artist and I majorly do charcoal work ( mainly portraits) I always loved oil painting and my charcoal art was often a recreation of renaissance or old oil paintings. I took it upon myself to learn oil paint and opted for an additional 6 subjects in 11 as painting. Though the school doesn't provide classes for the 6th subject I was adamant on learning. This video helped me a TON. this was pure gold and I felt so enlightened about oil painting basics and when and where to start. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!
Another note on the too good for the basics: it doesn't mean you'll never expand beyond the basics. I have gotten the impression that people thought my art was terrible if I was told to be good at the basics and that I was incapable of comprehending the basics if I could never move beyond them. I think this was a mix of their word choice and me misunderstanding what they were saying. A friend of mine likes my work and sees me as someone worthy of learning from. I'm not saying I'm as good as Paint Coach, but the extra ten years in experience with practice and studying art makes a difference in skill level. The dynamic of teaching him has helped me to teach myself and realize this misunderstanding to not make the same misunderstanding for him.
Great video, one of your best, very clear,concise and to the point. I discovered your channel a few months ago, you inspired me to try oilpaint. Keep up the great techniques and colors👍
Would love to find a really vivid purple. Have tried mixing so many blues and reds but can’t get the vivid colour I can get with acrylics but not in oils. Thank you for all the brilliant videos. Very clear and easy to understand.
Have you tried mixing an ultramarine blue with alizarin crimson? Both colors lean towards purple. I also struggled with this, and didn't want to buy a tube of paint for one little petal on a flower lol.
Great tips. I needed a reminder of the tips I learned in great community college course I took a long time ago. Most art courses I take have me painting from photos ugh and they don’t use constructive criticism. I need critiques
The only difference for me is "Thin lays down on thick way easier than the reverse", far let's potential for muddy. A dryer paint out of the tube, or applying paint to a paper towel to pull the excess oil out, giving a more condensed color, richer, then thin with a medium as needed, in later applications. Using the thicker allows to apply over and eliminates the need to leave spaces of white canvas, (I prefer to paint from distance forward, rather than what feels like a "coloring book" process). But definitely, Shape, Light and Shadow, and then Form work with a natural flow of the image. There's always Apples and Oranges, as Choices allow individual freedom and Canvas is always a Freedom Zone for the Individual Artist and their Creative Expression. Love your Passion, step into your desire and Feel the Freedom, as this Life Journey offers and was intended. Know you are worthy of experiencing your Desires, Dreams, doing your Passions ... 🔑
Great video as always :) Can you recommend a cleaner that not attacks your liver over the years with toxic fumes? Turpentine is such a bad thing when it comes to health 🙈
At 2:30 the captions read, "I sculpted plain fruit..." but it should say, "planal fruit." These can be purchased online but they're pretty expensive, even the 3D printed ones, so I think sculpting your own is a great idea.
I appreciate your videos. You do a great job. There's one thing I'd like to see you do a video on: you talk a lot about pushing and pulling the paint. It might be good to do one in which you explain what you mean by pushing and pulling. Thank you for what you do.
hi! so I have checked out your work and I am in LOVE with it and so i am planning on taking the course you made but I would want to know if when painting a portrait it would help a lot to sketch out your references? also should I paint the main colors first or block in shadows at the same time like I cant really explain it but I would like to know for both of them if you know! also I just wanna say again I love your work another thing is i am painting in acrylic so if that helps!
Hi, I watched your videos that really helpful for oil painting. And I especially appreciate the mindset you teach that giving me encouragement to start my paint journey. I have a question, I saw you have 2 links for enrolling your courses. One is teachable and one is Patreon. I’m curious if the content are overlapped. Since I think I may need to learn “drawing for painting” first, but Im also interested in your Patreon membership.
I like to think of my Patreon as a gun to exercise what you learn in the courses. The courses are more in depth but tutorials on Patreon are a great way to get reps and see the process
As always; you have given us another great video filled with must know info for artist who paint. In your video you state that you used the compliment to yellow (purple) for the shadow side of the pyramid. On the value string for yellow, Raw Umber is used to darken yellow. This does not change the hue of yellow as it is a dull yellow, where as purple is made up of red & blue influencing the hue of yellow towards green or orange. During the lockdown in 2020 I came across some videos on YT created by Neilson Carlin on creating a color wheel. He went through 24 colors with their value strings and chroma. Apparently Neilson Carlin & Todd Casey both studied under Michael Aviano. Todd published 2 fabulous books on color for oil painting.Here is Neil's video on building the yellow color string.: ruclips.net/video/yDetVRhCqfw/видео.htmlsi=lIZXPUvN8h24sonA The fun part of being an artist is that you never stop learning and there is always another artist wanting to share his/her creative ideas. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

always keeping it simple... thanks as always! 🤘👽 You couldn't have made learning to paint any easier.

Great instruction; so concise and clear and without frills! Going to recommend it to my art class.
Thank you so much. I love you teaching style. ❤

you are an amazing coach! so grateful to have found you
I watched the video and thought wow I really don't get this. I have so much to learn. And DEFINITELY need to start with the basics!
Thank you so much. Going back to basic from time to time helps a lot. Keep forgetting how important it is.
Wow! Painting 101 in 10 minutes! Great stuff, great review! Thank-you for all the information!

This is one of the best videos with oil paintings tips I have ever seen! Thank you!! :)
Great tips. I needed a reminder of the tips I learned in great community college course I took a long time ago. Most art courses I take have me painting from photos ugh and they don’t use constructive criticism. I need critiques
Hi Chris - love your videos! Do you have a video where you paint fur? Also do you have one on which varnish you prefer?
Thank you!

Great tutorial, thank you!
Great video as always :)

Thanks! The tips are really helpful!
This video was incredibly helpful!!!!! Thank you so much! I subscribed! Can’t wait to watch your other videos! You’re a wonderful teacher!
Great tips. Thankyou.
Thank you!!! This is so helpful and I've been loving your channel!!!!
Thank you for the tips! You make it easy to understand, I paid more attention to you in here, than my teacher in an oil painting class I took lol.
Happy to help!
I've looked for colored blocks like these, where can the larger blocks be purchased?
At 2:30 the captions read, "I sculpted plain fruit..." but it should say, "planal fruit." These can be purchased online but they're pretty expensive, even the 3D printed ones, so I think sculpting your own is a great idea.
I appreciate your videos. You do a great job. There's one thing I'd like to see you do a video on: you talk a lot about pushing and pulling the paint. It might be good to do one in which you explain what you mean by pushing and pulling. Thank you for what you do.
the link for Color Coaching Guide does not work
hi! so I have checked out your work and I am in LOVE with it and so i am planning on taking the course you made but I would want to know if when painting a portrait it would help a lot to sketch out your references? also should I paint the main colors first or block in shadows at the same time like I cant really explain it but I would like to know for both of them if you know! also I just wanna say again I love your work another thing is i am painting in acrylic so if that helps!
What do you practice on? Do you keep buying canvases to practice on? Is it some special paper that can hold paint?
A pad of canvas paper works well
Great video. Thank you. It was realllyy helpful❤❤❤
Good stuff Coach. Thanks!
Thank you and All the best.

Think I’m gonna paint Kryten from Red dwarf series lol
I'm gonna paint Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep Priest in The Mummy 1999 lol
Love Red Dwarf, awesome show always cracks me up
Your channel is amazing.
Great video! Thank you!
😄⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐truly appreciated, really helpful, thank you!
Is there a tool in clip studio paint that does the same thing as the photoshop cut out filter at 6:25 ?
And I'm glad you're not talking so fast. Good video.
How do you guys get that cutout filter
10:11 interestingly Vermeer thought exactly the opposite!
thank you
GREAT 👍 VIDEO. ❤❤❤
Nice❤

is using a projector cheating?
Nope
Great tips! Thanks!
