Oil painting takes time - so true! So many great points in this video
Omg daria callie😍😍😍
Thanks so much Daria!! I'm a huge fan of your work and channel. Thanks!!
This is an issue with YT videos. even on your videos, we have impression that you are achieving a painting in very short time (even if you accelerate the motion), and once we have spent one hour on an eye, we feel guilty and switch to another part...Thanks to Steve and You for bringing truth.
I heard in a film about being a sniper shooting a rifle, "slow is smooth, smooth is fast". Thanks for the advice Scott, very much.
Ah, that's an interesting and applicable phrase! Thanks for sharing Todd!
I stumbled on this video as I was getting ready to try to "save" a portrait I'm doing of a child. You probably saved me from yet another frustrating afternoon of painting. I will take your 6 pieces of advice, one at a time and learn properly. Why wouldn't I? Look at your beautiful paintings! THANK YOU!
I have just discovered you Scott. I have been attending classes in painting with oils for nearly 10 years and they way you teach has taught me so much more than I have absorbed over those years. Your detailed explanations really helps the information sink in because it makes sense. THANK YOU Scott. I will treasure your videos and also share your videos with my art colleagues.
your paintings are stunning and inspiring
The footage from that bigger painting is so gorgeous! Now I wish you didn't only show and discuss your portraits online, that drapery is to die for 💙
This CZcams channel is one of the best regarding oil painting, I wonder why it doesn't have more subscribers. 🤔
Thank you Scott for making your knowledge available to us, simple mortals.
Thank you for breaking value , hue and chroma down clearly :)
You're welcome! It's something I usually go through too quickly so thought it might help to break it down this way. Thanks for the comment!
This was a very valuable video and calmed me down. I thank you sir.
Thank you so much for this and more like this videos.
You are the best realistic painter i have ever seen. Thanks for sharing your skil with us.
Love the way you explain things - you don't waffle, you get to the point. Thank you so very much. Keep going, please. Thanks
Thank god your lessons exist!
Thanks Dania!
Very good Tips Scott. Thank you!
Thank you for your great advice and kind support. You not just a great artist but a wonderful person.
My first painting I did, was a "replica" of Van Gogh's "The Sower", which I decided to do as a "Christmas exchange gift" within our family. When it was unwrapped at Christmas, one of my other sister-in-laws asked if was a "paint by number", as Van Gogh's paintings are very "impressionist looking", ... and she was surprised when she said that I did it the way I did, ... as I had someone create a frame for me, put on the canvas, put down gesso, etc. I had to tell her no, that I used a picture from a church bulletin, and replicated it from there with oil paint.
That painting is currently in my possession, as the person I had given it to, years later, decided it "didn't go with their new home", and the decor that she had bought to go in the house (which I thought was in poor taste, compared to my painting), ... and she just didn't want to give it away, and thought I would want it back.
So, I bought a real nice golden frame for it from "Hobby Lobby", and it hangs proudly in my dining room right now. If I could attach a photo of it to this comment, I would, for all to see.
i've bought many of your tutorials and learned a lot. thank you scott.
You are blowing my mind. This is going to completely change the way I have been painting but I am ready. Here we go. Thanks
Thankyou thankyou for the reality check! More! Give me more!
Ha, thanks Julie!

Muy buenos tus comentarios y tus trabajos excelentes,!!!!
Thaink you sir good idea artwork painting,😇 godbless
Very nice,thanks for sharing
A DISPLAY OF EXCELLENCE
Great info Scott! Love the way you break things down.. I have a question - I often hear that its important to incorporate some of the background color into the portrait….and that the background color can alter the way we see the skin tones …what are your thoughts on that & how do I handle that when painting one part at a time..with background added last? I always struggle with figuring out what color to paint the background too! Would love a video that speaks to that. Thanks as always for great content!,
Yes ,what he's saying is so true.
Excellent advice! Also very reassuring to hear it takes time. I've also fallen into the trap of watching too many time-lapses, be it digital or traditional paintings, even though I've made some myself! It can really warp your expectations.
thank you!
Thank you for this video. I thought I painted extremely slow, your sharing is encouraging.
Excellent
Love your style and teaching! Would you recommend the brushes you use?
Thanks!
Fantastic
Helpful!
Wow great
Your channel has been a great discovery for me.
I love your color palette and it would be great if you included subtitles to your videos.
Greetings from Mexico.
Wow. Great ♥
Thanks for this😍
Of course! Thanks for the comment!
@@waddellwebisodes sir i am big fan of yours ..your my inspiration😍😍
GRANDIOSO SCOTT
Thanks Yader!
Bro you're so underated
Very good👍
I like you work
Thanks so much!
u r great artist 👏👏👏👍
Thanks!!
Scott, you are an amazing artist. Without these guidelines it is more likely the final painting will fail. Taking the necessary time and working one area at a time is so important! I agree with you and I thank you for reassuring the fact that working step by step and with patience you will accomplish great results. Your guidelines are right on target. My first portrait took me 70 hours and I still feel I could have accomplished even more. It is never too late to continue painting the right way. It can be overwhelming at times. It depends on how dedicated you are to continue painting. I always like to begin a painting with a good drawing and yes, planning is the key! Great job Scott! Thanks again for these great guidelines! Blessings and take care. One question: what is the best way to o you drawing once you have transferred it to the canvas? Thanks again!
Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment Crisalida!! Looking back on all the years of painting and struggles, these points are what stood out to me most. Thanks again for the comment, I appreciate it!
You are welcome Scott! Your videos are a great tool for me and others as well. I appreciate your time, effort and dedication. Blessings.
Great video
Thank you Karolis!
You are amazing
Your style is very different than my but I like to learn different things too, I think blending too much is not good for the luminosity and color, many grandmasters never blended his portraits. Oil Painting is not easy but I love it. Greetings!! 🎨
Thanks! Yeah, there are so many styles and great ways to paint. I go with works for me personally but I'm a big fan of many different approaches. Paintings that aren't blended do retain a certain purity to the color of each stroke. But, I've found there are ways to blend and retain that luminosity. Comes down to doing it in more discrete areas with clean brushes so you don't over blend large areas and muddy the color.
@@waddellwebisodes Yes, every person has his own style, good you find a solution to that. Your work is excelent anyway, blending is my weak point and also I try to be minimalistic on that
Great information sir
I want to ask you that while mixing skin tone should we use chrome yellow hue or yellow occure and how to mix raw umber colour if we don't have that shade
Great
I've painted in quite a few mediums from Watercolour to Egg tempera and Oil , but I find Acrylic the hardest paint to use.
Wonderful
Thank you Shahzad!
@@waddellwebisodes welcome sir , i found ur lessons so helpful , god bless!
❤️
How do you get the smooth edges all parts of your paintings seem to blend together so well
Uaaaau! muy muy bonito
Great advice thank you u i do have u dvds but have a Problem
With paint sticking to canvas u paint seem soft n not oily shiny
But matt n easy to blend do u use solvent?? N Brand if those round brushes u use ?? Thks
Your tips can be added to digital painting too.
✔ Thanks
Thanks Roberto!
Please show us the range of colors
Do you use any kind of medium to make your paint easier to apply and blend?
You paint well, I am from Georgia
Thanks!!
😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Sir, nice information! When we start underpainting, can we use white colour with raw umber or burnt umber for light and shadow or only single color....
Oh, yes, you can use multiple colors. I have done very monochromatic underpaintings and that can work. But now, I use my full palette of colors, including white. I just thin the paint with solvent so it's not too thick. Thanks for the question!
Thankyou so much sir.....
U r amazing
Thanks Enas!!
do you gesso your own canvas? if so what kind of gesso do you recommend?
Bye! I love your paintings and you are very nice! I would like to know if you could publish your videos with the possibility of inserting texts with Italian translation? A thousand thanks...!
Would it be possible to add auto-captioning for this and other videos?
Your videos are a great help. Thank you for tips you give. I’ve been painting for a while and I get stuck often because I have the imagine in my head of what I want to create but not the skills to bring it to life. I’m still practicing but videos like this definitely will help me get to the goal I’m trying to get too.
What is Hue & Croma ?
Perpect lesson
Please show us the full range of colors
I'll show more of the colors I use in the next video. In the meantime, here's what I usually have on my palette: titanium white, yellow ochre, naples yellow, cad orange, pale rose blush, alizarin crimson, raw umber, and ivory black.
I don't mess with Oil paints. I use Acrylics with a retardent; Works
Excellent. There's no need to ever change. And they even wind
up looking LIKE Oil paints. I do Frazzetta--type paintings. Any-
thing less is boring to me.
Every time I paint I hear....
When your day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
Everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (hold on)
If you think you've had too much
Of this life, well hang on
'Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts
Don't throw your hand, oh no
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much
Of this life to hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
Everybody hurts, sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes
So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts
Photo real portrait in 30 hours, damn. That is super fast. You are also painting super thin, not doing many glaze as you go- with very dry amounts of paint, that is a very specific style of application.
Subtitle spanish ???
Subtitles pliiis🇨🇱❤️
I used to wonder why oil painters finish their paintings in 10 mins
My sarcastic brother , you must live in the rotten apple.
This is, by far, the most inconvenient and less intuitive way to teach oil paint. And you and all oil painting artists know it.
How so?
I was thinking this myself - there is nothing here about letting the work develop organically or following instinct or intuition. I cannot imagine planning a painting down to the minutia before beginning and plodding through it without changing a single thing. My process if far more intuitive and less linear.
@@Bellamarcella1212 same, but I'm willing to give this a try : )
...And it doesn't take me "3 hours" just to do an Eye. Goodness,
if it took THAT long, I'd have to charge 2,000 bucks for a single
portrait, or painting.
Mono Lisa Took a decade-
Respectfully, I disagree with the notion that oil paint is most difficult to learn.
Oil paint is the easiest because of the endless editing the artist can employ. Oil offers all the properties of other paint mediums, opaque, transparent, washes, impasto, modified drying times etc. And, its permanent, unlike charcoal, pastels, water color, ink. Oil offers the greatest range of possibilities for visual problem solving, where as other paint mediums, like water color offer the least. In addition the range of mark making and color choices with oil outpace other paint types. . The range of possibilities is confused with complexity.
