Hey Coach- how about a video showing how you light a still life that shows lots of contrasts without losing those contrasting values/colors in the light of your studio.
Yes this please!!
Yes yes do this
The best part: "the paint is going to geeeet... thicker. Aaaaand... lighter, yes!" 😂 love your videos
This really helps, Chris! You're a wonderful teacher, Thank you so much for sharing the simple, clear rules you've developed.
Thanks bro, started painting two weeks ago with no education or background (37yo)I’m making great progress using your methods, still holding one A5,A4 oil study a day challenge❤ I’m surrounded by colours now 😂
Your videos are so clear and informative. Thank you 😊😊😊❤
Thank you so much for this very clear tutorial and as usual, you helped me to see how to overcome a few problems!
Another helpful demo. Your teaching provides so much clarity. It’s truly a gift.
Great lesson! Thank you for
breaking it all down in a non intimidating way that is easy to digest! All the best!
-Eli
Congratulations. You are very clear and essential in the way you deliver. All the best!
Excellent video and tutorial. Thanks so much! You are always on top of our needs. Blessings and take care.
Nice work, Chris!
I’m sure you would agree big to small in two ways; shape painted and brush used.
Most times dark to light per subject matter, and thin to thick to build values and form.
When I plein air paint, definitely thin to thick paint and biggest brush possible.
Letting details disappear in the shadows, and make texture more apparent in halftone areas works nice.
Thanks!! Appreciate it, Coach.
Your videos are some of the most informative and enjoyable to watch on learning to paint. I’m a beginner, and while I have a natural ability and a decent sense of the fundamentals it’s still not enough. You need a teacher and these videos have been invaluable to my learning process. Thanks so much. Cheers
I could learn from you ALL day long!! Thank you 🙏
Great video. I think painting large to small is very versatile. Allows spread workflow and focus on what I want to show on painting. Thank you for great video
I’m an acrylic painter but I do appreciate your helpful instructions.
And I totally appreciate your View on edges and Allan prima , your brushwork, getting a better, aliveness - not maskingevær every small detail and “ stiften everything” 😊🎶💜🎵
I LOVE your fabulous tips! Extremely helpful! i am a Canadian so much of your supply suggestions are in American prices and , yes, I do buy periodically from Amazon. Here in Canada, I use Liquin, works well as opposed to liquid spirits. I can paint the next layer in a week. I very much appreciate that as opposed to any oil.
❤Great video Chris! You are an awesome teacher!!! Thanks
Chris you are such a G for that thin to thick demo
You're the man, this was so helpful
Thanks,Coach! Awesome lesson
This really really helpful painting
Like the simple way of explaining you do
Look at you with mustache and everything, looks good son, good job. Great tips as usual. I got the solvent free gel too.
dear God you have improved exponentially since you've been teaching I can see it and I'm going to do whatever you tell me to do. thank you
Very clear info about Oil painting ❤️🩷💜
Thank you 💖
Finally, a perfect explanation of how & when to use medium! Thank you!! 9:18
Yah, without being a 30 minute technical video on just that topic. It’s always seeing it used in context that makes the info stick.
Amazing Talent….want to stop painting after I see your work😂…Been learning a ton from your videos ..TY
Great video, you are a sweet guy, thank you Chris!
Excelente teachings!!! Thanks
and by the way I did a good job sketching out in the middle of the Arizona desert thank you for your help
Fabulous, Ann Florida fan
Hi! Just found your channel and it is so helpful so thank you! I am new to oil painting and was wondering if you had a video on how to safely clean and dispose of things once you have finished an oil painting (ex: what to do with rags covered in oil paint, what to do with paint thinner, how to clean palette)? I would find this extremely helpful and really appreciate any advice you have! I did not realize how many safety precautions needed to be taken when cleaning up after oil painting, and this has been my biggest hindrance so far. Any advice would be great! Maybe you could make a video on it or maybe you already have one? Thanks!!
Thank you for clarifying, thin to thick and fat over lean. I'm working on an owl and the details are confusing me so I was having trouble defining the face. This video has helped a great deal, just watching how you lay down the underpainting to define the darkest areas first. For some reason I was under the impression that if I started dark I couldn't lighten afterwards. Now I understand.
Yay.... So glad I found your page!!! Something I find difficult to break is intense rigidity in my work I have some stuff posted don't know if you critique.... I'll be back. Thank you🎉
I thought that thin to thick and fat over lean were the same thing! Thanks for cleaning this up for me!
I really appreciate that you’re getting sillier! “It’s kind of like a dance…”
More memes! 🎉🎉
ENOUGH SHAPES haha. Love it
Hi Chris, this is one of the best videos I have seen on oil painting and explaining so well on the techniques! Thank you!
Quick qn, my oil painting is in the process of drying..took longer than expected...however now fine threads or particles have gotten stuck...how do I clean it before varnishing! Really struggling as it is a gift to a friend!
Nice video! I feel like you should make a video only about fat over lean so that, if someone is confused about how that applies to painting, you can direct them to that video. Keep up the great videos, Chris!
Hello, Chris,
I’m currently in the beginning stages of my new oil painting journey as I come from drawing and digital art. One thing I struggle with is figure drawing, or even faces. I see a lot of your portraits in the background and was hoping you could explain your portrait process and how you use proportions?
This videos are great! Do you ever use linseed oil as a medium instead? And how do you dispose of your paint thinner safely once it's too dirty? Thanks!
Paint Coach, i’ve been looking for that exact advice how to paint successive layers of wet oil paint on top of each other, and had it wrong all this time!
Thank you so much!
So I practiced today and it worked!! but using a different medium, Galkyd, I think.
But please tell me, where does linseed oil sit in your continuum of thin to thick? Do I consider it a medium?
A long time ago, someone advised me to do a 50-50 mix of turpentine and linseed oil as a medium.
Thank you so much for all your videos!
Hey Chris, firstly thanks a lot for your videos, you're such a good teacher! I've been having problems with starting to paint with oils, I'm mostly painting without solvents (using a bit of Sennelier green for oil thinner on the draw phase) and I'm struggling a lot with the first layers, as the paint is so thick it seems I'm painting with mayo and the paint feels dry as soon as I put it on the canvas, seems like I'm moving paint around instead of painting. I should thin it a bit with some walnut oil or something, I guess? Thanks a lot!
Hey daeds! Sorry to cut in because I know you are looking for a response from Paint Coach, but yes, you could use Walnut oil to thin your paint. The only thing about walnut oil though is that it dries very slowly, so roughly 4-5 days, this may not be great when you are looking to get started with your painting right away. I see that you are not using solvent, but you can try gamsol instead which will give you the effect of turpentine, without the same dangers.
If you are just laying down a ground layer color, you can mix up a combination of a solvent (like gamsol ) + 1/3 of a medium (like liquin, or solvent free fluid) + a little bit of paint (like burnt umber). Mix that up in a glass jar with a good shake or two and add that color to the back of your canvas.
When I am past the ground layer, I usually use solvent free fluid to help add fluidity my paints, to add transparent glazes and pretty much everything. I also use liquin as well, but found that I could do pretty much everything I desired with solvent free fluid and gamsol. Hope this helps with your painting journey!! Best to you!
Funny I learned to paint light to dark! 😊
Hey I got a question for you! I apologies ahead of time for my long winded explanation.I personally struggle with getting out of the simplification stage. I can get my basic shapes, composition, and value laid in. Then I lose my motivation and become tierd. Almost like I get stuck in the ugly phase. I guess my question is, when do you know when to start adding detail and how do you go through the process of adding smaller and smaller shapes and detail and adding smaller variations of colors?are you still thinking like an impressionists and just fooling the eye into thinking there more detail? Or are you hard focusing on the detail and moveing inch by inch adding detail from your refance like a printer haha ? Anyways love your videos, your really helping me get out of a mental creative rut so thank you for all you do!
yes
Hello, can you please do a vidéo about transparency, glass and clothes. Thanks
Do you go back over the part of the painting that you used with paint thinner with thicker paint? I feel like using thinner paint makes it look alot different then the places that you used thicker paint and would look weird. But that also feels like it would be redundant to apply thin paint just to go over it again with thicker paint of the same hue.
Also, Is the darkest value also the darkest color? Like would you always paint the blue or brown first in the painting then move on to darker part of a red then the darkest part of the yellow? Thank you! You are my favorite!!
What software/filter did you use for rendering the source image? It looks fantastic, much better than just blurring. I use Artista Oil app sometimes but its parameters are hard to control.
I use Photoshop filters
Hey Chris!
Thanks for another helpful video...do you ever use gouache when you paint outside?
I just bought some but have not used it
Question: how to handle tone and colour on landscapes to create depth, like a large pasture receding into the background
Here’s a good tip: objects further away are lighter and have less form , objects closer are sharp detailed and have a more concentrated value
A big part of that is atmospheric perspective which consists of letting yellows dry out first and then reds.
You said that you paint thin but not transparent. This is something I struggle with: as soon as I put thinner into my dark paint it seems like it doesn't even cover the canvas properly and becomes quite streaky. Are there any tips on how you managed to thin the paint and still get that dense dark coverage?
Hi paint coach I’m a new subscriber. I have a question I love painting but fairly new at it I am having trouble staying with my painting without getting bored I have so many unfinished painting and thrown out many Do you have any suggestions? Thank you
Can I use these same rules with acrylic paints? I've been painting for 6 months now. What is your advice on graduating to oils at some point? I am doing abstract impressionism with some figural elements, no realism in any way though. I have zero art background, not even a high school art class. So i doubt i will ever be able to learn to draw well enough to do any sort of realistic subject matter. Thanks and I enjoy your videos!
I’m hesitant to paint with oils indoors due to the solvent fumes. Can I mix Gamsol (outdoors)and nontoxic solvents (Chelsea-while indoors) in the same painting? Thanks.
I’m really terrible at drawing, but i’ve had really good luck with water painting and oil pastels in a group im in and i think i want to try painting! Do you think a foundation of drawing/sketching is necessary ? I figure drawing people will always be kind of difficult for me. Proportions are kind of hard (for me.) But in painting it seems like i can be “messier” and it still looks good. Just wondering your thoughts on that!
Details and the fat over lean rule. When it comes to a detail such as hair strands, eyelashes etc how is the rule applied or is it at all? What medium is suggested? When i watch others it seems as if the brush used has an endless supply of paint and smooth stroke. I cant get past a couple of cm before breaks in the stroke appear.
I have a question for, hope you can throw some reasons to why I have this problem.
Sometimes when I mix my medium for oil painting the medium breaks on my palet AND on my painting the way water breaks on a winshill. It separates into little bubbles. Not exactly like water over glass but kinda.
I mix my mediums using oil, standoil, turpentine and SOMETIMES bees wax.
Those are some ingredients that i dont allways use.
Sometimes even pure oil brwaks up that way.
I live in a very humid enviroment but I really dont know what is going on.
If you have some thoughts on it, I'd move to hear about it.
Thanks!
Love from Argentina.
Where is the link for you painting big to small. Thank you
Hello Coach, I want to inquire if the $29/ month subscription includes the drawing for painting course $49 and if the monthly subscription is cancel any time ?
Thank you
What palette paper did you use?
Always found only white colored papers for oil painting :(
Sir please where do you download your reference photos
Have you ever used oils to do a Miral? Would it last with clear over it I would it just crack in time?
Or*
Is it ok to varnish touch to dry with Gamvar and not wait 6 months, especially if i paint with alkyd medium? Also, they all saying 6 to 12 months, like how do i know if it's okay after only 6 months? It's a big gap between 6 and 12 :O Thanks!
I used to use oils, but recently switched to acrylics....I have NEVER heard painting explained so clearly. My question is do I use acrylics differently than oils.....especially where you use these 3 rules/////same? different?
Bob Ross taught that a thin paint will stick to a thick paint. Was that just for his style of painting. Since I have branched out trying to paint like other artist's I end up with mud at the end. So im going to try thin to thick to see if that is the problem.
I have a question: how to paint the white fur (cat), I’m painting a portrait of my cat. I’m an absolute amateur, but trying ....
What program do you use to block out the colors and shapes of your reference photos?
I paint it by hand in photoshop
I've heard the term "paint" ugly ???what does that mean
yet do't you have to work with opaque paints only if you put in your darks and then want to paint over them? I mean there are some yellows and reds that are just see through
Some sort of pressure must exist; the artist exists because the world is not perfect. Art would be useless if the world were perfect, as man wouldn’t look for harmony but would simply live in it. Art is born out of an ill-designed world.
― Andrei Tarkovsky
Jesse should've chosen to paint instead of gerting revenge
I’m confused. Bob Ross says thin sticks to thick. But you say thick to thin? I’m confused
Why is no one talking about how smexy the guy is?
Chris . . . in the first part of this video (the red ball), in lightening the red, if I'm not mistaken, as red goes to white, it passes through yellow. Same with green. Am I wrong in thinking it would have been a smother transition to add a bit of yellow into your mix as it progressed toward light (white)?
I just featured you in my new watercolor video. I learn so much from you. LOVE your videos and your paintings!
