I'm an artist and in defence of this artist he is sharing techniques that work for him. If you're an artist naturally you teach yourself, you develop a style etc. I've had big commissions and nothing teaches you faster than a paid job. I think some of the people in the comments sort of attacking him are out of order. If you're an artist and you think you can't learn anything else you're way off base. Life is a learning experience every single day. This man is sharing his experience with others. Perhaps people who paint as a hobby or who are out of practice and those eager to learn are the ones this is aimed at. Not so called "artists" who are arrogant enough to put him down to build themselves up. Art is a way of life if you are a true artist. A lifestyle choice if you eat sleep and breath art and can make a living from it. This man does so he's entitled to share and I always say this. If you don't like it don't f***ing watch it.
so im an artist im a dBag, Jesus brought me his artistic hands in my daydream, later on i woke up im a Pure Artist howli cow.

I found Mark Carder online one day, I was curious about oil painting and I googled, his name showed up. I feel that he as a professional and with his experience he could just keep all his techniques and what he learnt over the years to himself yet he is not selfish about it. I felt that he teaches and plan out these videos really well. I mean of course he did try to sell you his paint but I think to paint in his method and to save you trouble to get you own mediums, the paints helps a lot for someone that is new to painting in oils. I appreciate his kind gesture to share his knowledge with us. ❤️ haters are haters you can’t please everyone in this world 😚😛
I'm new to this and I'll take any advice I can get.
I disagree . The guy is talking bullshit.
I have no one to talk to about this, about art in general...you are amazing.Thanks for being a support and a teacher even from far away.
Can we start a subreddit or something?
Mostly self taught oil painter here. It is people like you who make this endeavor so freakin' enjoyable. All these tips from an EXPERIENCED painter are a godsend, my man!
Mark's a great teacher. He's really straight forward and thorough.
Well, 60 years of oil painting, 3 universities, 4 private teachers, and countless workshops later....I have learned more and come to understand brushwork better in the few minutes here
than all those combined!....Thank you!
I just don't believe you - some of these unis and teachers may have been crap, but you should have picked some wisdom??
Your teaching is better than many fine arts colleges. I am a new students to painting. After I feel comfortable using your methods in your courses, I have on my bucket list to learn directly from you. I'd better hurry 'cause age and time are not my friend lol.
Have you _been_ to "many fine arts colleges"?
@@DrWhom I've been to zero. I wasn't stupid enough to go to one...
I like how you teach you come across to the point and down to earth. Some teachers on here seem intimidating, or too lost in there own eccentricity to make sense.
I love the thought -provoking narrative you provide. As a beginner I think my self awareness is heightened each time I watch one of your videos. Thanks for the thoughtful work and videos.
Just starting into watercolors and watched lots of videos and no one has mentioned how important mixing the right color before you hit the canvas/paper. you presented it in a way that made it obvious (to me anyway) how important that is regardless of the medium. Thanks for sharing your experience.
You can't really fully fix watercolor mistakes, while you can just paint over for acrylics and to some extent, oil.
I have learned much more with your videos than in art university I’ve been for 3 years, thank you 😊
Thanks, Mark, your explanations of WHY ridges are not good, or WHY lighting is so important, or WHY paint fluidity is a big deal, ETC. ETC. are so appreciated. You are the genius mix of an artist and a scientist.
I just ordered the Geneva Essential Palette in appreciation for the great lessons you provide online.
I'm fairly new to oil painting and your videos are the best at explaining all the myriad details that make successful oil painting a straight forward process.

I have picked my paint brushes once again after 25 years. I watch vids on youtube to see what is the latest and the way you explain things just make me want to learn more. We all have our ways but the teaching is for all whether you use it or not. If it does not work for then ignor it. I hate it when people bush other people down. This guy has taken time to teach and yet some push him down. If you consider yourself better then good for you or show us your way.
Funny I was there at the beginning of your journey and now I’m looking at the number of people are following you. Wow it is incredible, but it is well deserve. Congrats Mr. Carder.
Dear Mark, thank you for sharing your gift. This knowledge and sparks of your talent will always live in my heart.
This is the best lesson you've given. Brilliant!
Thank you for your videos! I watch them over and over again ! I never stop learning from them . Thank you!
I have a very bad habit of using the same brush throughout my painting, I change brushes if I need to paint details but I don't notice this bad habit when working. I don't use expensive brushes but I do ruin them quicker, I have no problems making muddy mixes, I usually get the colours mixed right to the colour I'm after as I go along, using a limited palette. I don't even wipe my brush out between colours, maybe srub them with rags. I just start with a darker palette then get lighter values then back a touch darker then more light again. I think I picked this habit through 25+ years as a graffiti artist where id use the same cap (nozzle) throughout my piece/work etc. I've basically learnt oil painting by my self but watching vids on youtube now to change my bad habits. Good video man.
thanks for sharing, these tips are so practical and totally explain all the problems I've run into in the past. Appreciate it!
This was the question I wanted answered. Thanks Mark.
Why are so many art studios on YT dark and depressing looking? I love the knowledge you teach and I watch your videos several times because you have sooo much knowledge that I hear nowhere else, with years of wisdom that avoids so many potential mistakes, thank you very much.
that's cause bright light fatugues the eye, also, you see the painting differently, he prefers what he can see on darker light
Hi Mark, saw your video 3 days ago, and I'm hooked to your techniques, you are so honest. Blessings. Hope to meet you in person someday. Loved your wife's painting too!

Thank you for teaching me this! I just started oils a month ago, so excited! I appreciate benefiting from your experience.
After even taking a Realism Live online course, I return to Mark and his detailed and informative FREE videos.
Thank you I have moved from the bob ross technique to attempting realism and you are extremely helpful thank you and Geneva paints I love it
Thank you Mark for sharing your tips and artistic insights. I use your paints love them. ❤️❤️
That tip about using lots of brushes is very interesting. I will try that. Thank you for your videos :)
Very useful instructions Marc thank you for sharing them
thank you for all of your videos, I am really grateful, great teacher and real pro tips, you are a blessing.
Really helpful Mark, thank you for another great piece of the puzzle.
I’m just at the crawling stage of development as an artist, so this was very helpful in going forward. Thank you for making the video.
I really like your videos. They are informational, to the point and really packed with some great habits to learn from. I really like your brush holder, and multiple brush for different colors.
I can not express enough how thankful I am.
And again an interesting tutorial! Thank you so much!!
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Great, interesting information that was new for me. Your explanations and demonstrations were easy to understand. Thanks Mark!
I am loving your video's only discovered today and have just subscribed. I liked your video on why not to blend too early. So true. Classical, renaissance painters work is rarely blended so smooth you cant make out strokes. They are usually blocky, rigid and full of form and colour.
I love your videos and just completed my first using your method. Thank you!
thank you for these lessons, very informational as a newfound lover of painting.
Great tips Mark! Thank you for sharing that!
Gosh that is great info - did not know about that - thankyou
Thank you Mark. Great advice.
Great as always, keep these coming. Love your paint!
Superb way of organising the brushes.
Thanks Mark! A very helpful video, as usual.
Absolutely amazing and informative video! Thank you!
You have one of the best channel on oil painting
Thank you and enjoy listening to your knowledge. Please continue
So professional and informative !
your tips are gold!!!
Hello. Just wanted to say thank you for your video! I'm new to painting so I appreciated your attention to detail in your presentation.
Excellent advice that I intend to use when painting! Thank you.
I do the same thing with my brushes. Actually, I use acrylics and don't like to always rinse a brush out just to put the same color back on later. I usually have a bunch in use at one time, each devoted to one type of color. I put them in a plastic bag as I work though, to keep them from drying out.
TeaTime I do that, too. 👍
Make sure to put them in the refrigerator... I keep a wet pallet for most of my work, and it's big enough for a couple of brushes, and I can put the entire thing in the refrigerator.
Thanks a lot!, I’m always waiting for New videos. Regards from Chile
Always informative 👏🏻👏🏻
Really great advice,thank you so much.
Wow! Thank you for your wisdom!
Great advice sir and very useful for art classes. The video was fantastic Mark to learn about.
This was really helpful!! And the brushes for different values really makes sense! Thank you for sharing, Mark:)
Easily my favorite youtuber. Thanks for the advice!
Thank you Sir for the valuable education 🎨
Once again this was a very useful video. Thanks for sharing
That was very helpful, great insights.
Super helpful! Thank you so much for your videos!
Nice! Very easy to understand, very relaxed.
Extremely helpful! Thank you.
Yes! Rushing to the canvas guarantees frustration and muddy colors. A painter can't be reminded of that truth enough (especially me).
Excellent tutorial!
This is just amazing! I like your videos. They're so much helpful😀

your last comment on "sets" of dark to light colors is a great tip!
good info, the brushes were a big tip form me
Wonderful video thank you
This is good house-keeping to facilitate your painting. It is often the small things that trip us up.
This guy has such boring uncle who you can never please but is actually a master of his craft and teaches you more in a minute than a month in school energy I love him.
A bf gifted me an oil paint set many years ago. Curious, I thought, cause while I consider myself an artist of sorts, never a painter. Never tried. Anyway half-heartedly attempted without the right knowledge/materials a few times and considered giving the set away. For some reason I've decided to go all in and learn the proper way. I discovered you and your wealth of content! Thank you. In addition to the help, I enjoy the relaxing vibe of your videos. Started my first painting last night - well - just got the drawing portion done. Here goes nothing....
i am so grateful mark takes the time to make these wonderful videos he is the only professional artist/teacher that does so for free most artists on youtube charge for patreon service to get the full videos. thank you sir, you and your wife are very wonderful artists. does she make tutorials as well?
I clean my brushes the next day, first with solvent. I like my brushes always clean. The second step is to wash with soap and water until all the oil residues are removed. I've never had any problems with this method. It's a good idea to have several brushes to take turns.
