In this episode of #PaintLikeAPro I talk about the materials in my workspace including what brushes I use, my palette, what acrylic and oil paints I use, What mediums I use, the canvas I prefer, and more!
If you have any questions about something I covered or maybe something I didn't cover I am more than happy to answer.
Some materials I love:
- Golden fluid acrylics (quinacridone red, napthol red, titanium white, primary cyan, prussian blue, primary yellow, sap green, burnt sienna, permanent green light, green gold, carbon black)
- Liquitex soft body acrylics (light blue permanent, cerulean blue, brilliant yellow green, cad orange, hansa yellow light, titanium white)
- 1/2" mop, 1/4" filbert, 1/2" filbert, round blender, scrumbling brush, #1 liner, #2 round, various fan brushes/flat brushes. I switch brands all the time.
- water for mixing acrylics with
- gamblin oil colors and galkyd medium
- Ampersand hardbord for mounting canvas
- fine weave canvas (many brands make great stuff)
- PVA acid free glue for mounting canvas to board
- Krylon acrylic coating/kamar varnish/fixative

Bob Ross: no mistakes, only happy little accidents.
Chuck: *Breaks canvas in half*
😂😂 omg, I was just thinking the same
You're great 🙂

Hi Chuck, you are absolutely adorable, but not to worry, I am 93 years young, but having taken up the brush,, again, after almost 30 years. Am finding it not as easy as it once was, I so enjoy watching you & have picked up many tips from you. You are sooooo good & fun to watch. You make it look so effortless. Thanks for allowing an audience to participate. Please, if you can, set up a cozy corner to paint in, I have to share my space with a computer, organ,sewing table, Entertainment center & often don't feel inspired to paint under these conditions. You're a pal.
Greetings from Greece. I truly hope you're still going strong and keep painting! :)
Greetings from Australia, I love your relaxed easy going attitude, I've been painting for over 50 years, recently experimenting with fluid paints. My criteria for brushes is if it drops a hair into my painting it's bought a one way ticket to the rubbish bin. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, it's so appreciated and regardless of age or how long painting there is always something new to learn.
I hope you are doing well pat Mann❤️
Hi pat Mann ✨
Hello Thanks a lot for your advice is fantastic ❤ from Toronto Canada
I love how he doesn’t force people to paint like him, he encourages people to find their own style by saying try different mediums and different thicknesses. Which makes people find their style whether that is more impressionist, realism, palette knife style or maybe even a combination. That is what the art world needs, with all respect to Chuck Black Art(I actually really like his style of painting I actually take some things from his style and work it into my own) but we don’t need thousands of painters like Chuck Black Art.
sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
Looking at all the supplies laid out......brought me so much joy
Its refreshing to know I'm not the only one that will chuck an almost finished piece due to mistakes. Thank you for sharing your information!
Great Chuck luv that Golden paint 🖼 2:21
Thank you so much for taking time to share your art and your experience with us! I love your videos and am learning! Oh, and thank you for letting us visit your work space!
do NOT fast forward through this video! Chuck gives lots of tips and quick clips of demos, so you just might learn something. :) Keep at it, Chuck. I'm a big fan.
I was smiling the first few minutes, I have it all, tried it all, love it all...
I like the tip for workable fixative over pencil drawing
YOU are the BEST, your detailed explanations are the bomb! and WE KNOW YOU CARE!!!!!
Amazingly helpful
This is so helpful. I’m learning so much from you! Just realized you are from MN too! Thanks for sharing all your wisdom, I love your work!

And we love you, thank you for helping me getting better at art 🙂🙏
You are AWESOME Chuck!!! I continue to learn so much from you in my painting, thanks so much for everything you do, You ROCK!😊
Loveg this! You saved me a ton of money!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
THANK YOU! This helped me to understand a lot of my questions!
Thank you! This really helped me! Not very many artists are so willing to share it all! You are awesome!
You are awesome to share all of this with us! Thank you so much!!
Thanks so much for sharing! Love the info and your insights as an artist, I have learned quite a bit watching this. I really like how you encourage others to try different mediums and materials and learn from those experiences. That's definitely an important part of the process, to learn from all one's trials and errors. P.S.- that mug in the waterbowl trick is going to be life changing! Thanks so much again!
Great video chuck! Great advice. Haven’t seen a video like this yet. So honest
love your brush wash system...ya hoo thanks alot
Thank you sooo much for doing this video!! It really answered a lot of my questions. I will definitely look forward to your additional videos!!
This video was very helpful, thanks for your honesty and knowledge. I am new at this so your experience has helped me to be more patient with myself.
The Best advice. Super comprehendible. He gets right to the points that matter and make the biggest difference! Love this dude. Saved me HOURS of searching through long drawn out CZcams videos
Thank you so much for this video , this is just what I needed :) You truly are an inspiration to budding artists like myself :)
No problem thats great to hear! Thank you
Thx for all your help on paint colors and brushes. I love your tutorials ❤
That foam for the brushes Blew my mind!!!
That's what I was looking for! Brilliant, thank you!
What great advise! Thank you so much!
Thank you Chuck. I am so inspired by your work. Thank you for sharing.
Very, very informative, valuable and helpful video! I subscribed. Thank you so much for your laid back, and unfazed attitude, which many will find useful since we artists all get stressed out sometimes when it comes to failures.; and especially when something that we have used for years is discontinued, or out of stock.
Great info Chuck....I try and learn something everyday...right now I'm having trouble painting a willow tree lolol!! I've tossed a few I didn't like and try again. Thank you for all your video's and maybe you'll paint a willow tree one day lolol!! Thanks Chuck.
Thanks for the basics without the BS! Love your work and your attitude!
I am so happy I found you on you tube, Chuck! I am a newbie, started painting last March after I took my Dad's paints and supplies home. He no longer used them and I was interested. I took off and haven't stopped painting, finally I am starting backwards and looking at you tubes to learn. I had to chuckle the other day while watching one of your you tubes and you started to talk about how you pronounce Dagger. I knew immediately, what you were getting at, "don't cha know"! I am from Minnesota but I live in Colorado now. I struggle with the how fast my paint dries. I often think if I were in MN this would not be as big of a problem. It is the number one issue I have. I waste so much paint because of the rapid drying out here.
Thank you so much for this lesson. Wrote it down in my notebook!
Dude,
I was positively drooling looking at all your art supplies. No specific questions, I was just looking on and following the journey of wonder that comes of gathering new art supplies and trying them out while learning how each one can be incorporated into your work as an artist(or not); how much fun the expirementation can be. Had a blast watching this ❤
I just discovered your videos and really like your method of teaching. This is very informative, thank you.
Thanks great information been watching you a few months now love ❤️ your work and channel!
loved this video so much, thanks Chuck xx
I really enjoyed watching your video, lots of good information, you are awesome, love your art.
I didn’t start overcoming my “I’m not good at art” feelings until 50. Almost 6 years later, I’ve played with a lot of different mediums (and still am). I’ll be really into trying a style than get into something else. I feel guilty investing $ then not using them much, but this video helped me reframe this as a learning opportunity instead!
Thank you so much for this!!! Def going to try these hacks.
I enjoy listening to your substantive explanation about different
kinds of painting, mediums, and other techniques you use to mix paint. I agreed
with you when you said experimenting cause that exactly what I do. It keeps us
learning every tiny bit of thing. Thank you
Loved this I too have binges on different mediums onya xxx
Thanks Chuck. I think like you do, everyone have to experiment and find what it works best. I use the oldies brushes like you do to create tree leaves, each is unique when it gets old. Thanks for sharing your experiences, I love your art❤️
I just found you and am so glad I did. Thank you for sharing. Could you demo how you cover your board with the canvas from start to finish.
Excellent!! Thank you for sharing this REALLY valuable info and your expertise. HELPS LOTS
I LOVE THIS SERIES!
Thank you Chuck for sharing this I really feel it was a a learning experience for me. Maybe because I’m less experienced trying to figure out what to put on an empty canvas is daunting sometimes but then also once I have an idea it is time to figure out what paints which brushes do what and how well and you explaining it’s okay to trial and error because it is a growing experience made it feel like my next painting won’t feel so complicated! I really appreciated your tips and candor!!
Love your paintings so much and your process.
God Bless
SO HELPFUL!! :) Thank you, Chuck!
Hi Chuck...this video really helped me learn a great deal about paints and textures. I never thought of using the canvas rolls to make my own surface. I am a new self taught artist and I also have begun using the Golden liquid acrylic blends. I love them. I also noticed that I use the same blue hues that you have been using as well. I also struggled a bit with finding the right brushes and learned now that there are cheap brushes out there as well as expensive that do the same job. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with artists like myself and happy painting.
I like your honest opinions on the paints.Thanks.
Your awesome, thank you for sharing,
I like this video, I never took any art classes and am self taught, it gave me great idea's on some paints to try in the future. As far as the studio goes I have a room just for my art and have the same thing with brushes, I do not by expensive and I try different one until I find something that works for me. I love your work and have learned a lot thanks for sharing.
Everybody is different. Like all the supplies out there !!
I just recently found your videos. Thank you so much for putting this content out there and sharing with us. It is so appreciated. I showed my 5 year old who is also art obsessed one of you tutorials. She loved it, so I just ordered a print for her as a surprise. I can’t wait.
Thank you so much Tara and it really is my pleasure!!! I can't wait for her to get it, I'll send it out asap. Let me know if you guys ever have any questions
Hi
You are a great artist with a great and humble heart by sharing your life experience work wich artists dont really share and im so grateful of you to share your experience with us, i use to do painting with oil i tried other mediums but finally found oil is for me but u work inspired me to use acrylic and im goin to start painting again
Thank you very much keep painting 😁👍🏻
THANK YOU for this video. I sprayed my acrylic painting with your preferred spray and it's a miracle. Cool.
That was fantastic you have answered a lot of my questions! You are great to share that with everyone.
Great to hear that, Susan! Thank you
Thanks Chuck your information has been a treasure for me. I am 85 years of age and started my art in high school "commercial art and worked in the field for sometime. I retired from the navy but spent most of my life in rodeo and ranch work. My favorite is western art and your videos have been very helpful to me and I will continue to watch . Thanks again for all your help!!
Great video! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 A lot of good ideas and knowledge! Thank you for sharing 👍🏼
I am like you on the Blues! So many blues!
awesome information for beginners like myself !!! You are a very gifted and talented artist, thank you for your videos !
Hi Chuck - just discovered the channel. So many great insights. Thank you for the content. Subscribed!
Thank you .Beautiful paintings.
chuck!! good knack for teaching, thankyou!
I am so inspired by your videos. I dabble with many mediums, pyrography has been a long time love, but now I am obsessed with acrylic. I have been trying to stock my supplies without breaking the bank and you have no idea how helpful this video was. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of your gift.
That's awesome to hear, Thanks Kristie and you are welcome!
THe tips about holding brushes and pallets are worth watching the whole video! I've experimented with paints and am also a fan of Golden. So far, I use just one blue, but now will look at more hues. ..
Thanks, Chuck for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. It's also nice to know that you too have failures. Can't wait to see your video on mixing paints to achieve a particular color.
Thanks again.
Pat
Thanks Pat, and you are most welcome! I appreciate it all!!
I would love to see that video too it would be a great help to me. Love you're paintings xx
And by the way you are so right it is important to experiment and that is truly the way to learn new possibilities and what makes your soul sing in the process of painting
Thank you for this video! I was struggling with paint brushes! I have not yet painted anything that I thought was worth keeping. How important is varnishing a finished painting? How do you Varnish your paintings or what do you do to when the painting is finished? Thank you!!!!!
Thank you so much Chuck. I appreciate you doing this. I'm new to acrylics. I use oils and definitely needed this.
All my best
Rudy paints
Great to hear, thanks Rudy!
REALLLY So Helpful Thanks Im On the right track !
Yes you are so right that it is good to be curious and experiment - but it is also expensive so good to listen to experiences from other artists - especially of course to artist you like - i totally agree with your experiences with different Golden Acrylics. I definitely prefer heavy body and the fluids - but nice to Exchange experiences
Thank you for this video. I wondered about differences. I’m just starting to paint
I love the idea of using plastic wrap on the palette to make clean up a cinch! Saves soooo much time for clean up!
Really useful info, thanks.
Totally agree about blue. My favorite color and so different. It’s like a colorful pallet on it’s own. That’s why I usually choose one or two colors to work with.
🤣 I wanted you to know I about died watching this video. I choked on my water when you showed the painting you ripped in half when you were frustrated. It's nice to know I have a kindred spirit when it comes to dealing with frustration.
Thanks! I'll start painting and I'd like to make it my full time job.
Lots of great information! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Carol and you are welcome!
Thank you for your great videos!
I appreciate the info on the difference between the liquid & soft body acrylics. I was considering these or the Golden open acrylics and now feel that the soft body paints will work best for me.
Awesome video, I live the color mixing! 😄💗🌷
Raphael's brushes are my absolute favourite for aquarelle. They're more expensive, but you can reall feel the difference compared to the cheap brushes.
Thank you for this tutorial its of great help. Thanks.
Awesome! I am the same way with yellow!
I love your whole attitude about just trying different mediums and viewing it as a learning process. We as artists should try to experiment with the different mediums and art tools available. I love watching different artists who have great info and advice and who are awesome at their preferred mediums/tools of choice such as yourself. thanks for your great advice!
Appreciate all that, Sandy! I couldn't agree more. And of course it's my pleasure
such a great video- Ive shared it 3 times, Chuck. Cheers, brother
Great info and NOW I know how you set up your palette....going to order some cellophane as I hate to clean up the acrylic. Thanks!!!
I always wondered what those bits of wood were that come with the canvas! Thank you! And great tip with the water! 😁
Thanks for sharing this valuable information
Great vid. So glad to hear/see I'm not the only one doesn't get along with mediums for acrylics. You instruction and advice on fluid acrylics helped me to decide to switch. Also i can completely relate to the broken art at the end. I have been trying to teach myself acrylics over past year and averaging one success to every eight paintings ( birds have been the better ones). Thankful I'm not alone in the failures. Keep up the great work.
Great to hear Claude and thanks for sharing! 1 out of 8 sounds about right, great job maintaining a positive attitude!! :) Thanks again
I know this is an older video. And things have maybe changed since then. But thankful for being so thorough about what you do like AND what you don’t like, and the why. It’s very helpful. Thank you for being honest about not needing to be a brand snob also. So many people get hung up on that 🙂
Nice to see you use fairly affordable art supplies that are available where I live. I watch tutorials on youtube as I'm just starting off painting and they always stress buying the good quality stuff and the brands they use are pretty expensive where I live (because they're imported). I figure there's nothing wrong using the cheap stuff to start off with. I figure it's not what you have it's how you use it 🤭 Love your videos because they are very encouraging.
Thank you learned a lot was frustrated with mud in paints have idea now that it was my heavy paints
could you do another video on how exactly you mounted the smooth canvas on the board? and what you do with it once the painting is done? please?
i'm new in you Chanel, and i see that you are a great teacher. ...GOD bless you
Love the water bowl
I love that I found this video. I have been airbrush painting since 1978. I want to get back into brush painting, but not as much oil painting as before.
