    Hi, I am the son of two artists and began painting in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia before I could walk. I was a rare combination of artist and athlete so I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to play football for USC. I left the team my sophomore year to focus on painting and filmmaking, applying the same focus and discipline from my football career to my art. I primarily work in oils, and spend most free days painting "en plein air" in my new home of Sarasota Florida.

    Yet another awesome video chris! I don't paint - I'm actually a pixel artist. But lessons learned in painting are, more often than not, transferable to other media, and after watching this I'm pretty excited to pay more deliberate attention to the interaction of edges in my pixel art. Thank you, as always!

      Trust me his YT vids and if you want to, his Patreon vids are useful. I am doing my own thing now but I posted a digital self portrait video of how far I got within a years time using mostly info from this channel. I've had to put art on the back burner this year but I'll be back at it next year lol.

    I like how you explain things and how you talk about how you do things and improved your skills, it makes you very relatable, down to earth. And I think for people who may be hesitant oil painting, I think its encouraging, because you have practiced and developed skill over time. I think one big thing for people is to look at other peoples art and go ‘I could never do that’ and forget you have to start somewhere to get somewhere.

    Something just landed for me from this video! As a photographer, I love shallow depth of field and even use special lenses to push that aspect even more. The idea of soft edges as depth of field translates super easy for me! I can see utilizing that perspective in my paintings. Thanks Chris!

    Thank you for answering my question on how to decide which edges to soften and which to keep hard. And thank you for the reminder - again - not to get dragged into detail too soon! I'm going to have to start chanting to myself, 'sculpt the pain, sculpt the paint' while I'm working! ;0) Another great video, thanks.

    Great tips all around. I learned a while back that I put too much pressure on my brush and stylus(when I’m working digitally). It’s become a habit that is harder to break, but it will definitely benefit my work and my wrist.

    @michaelepp6212 Před 2 měsíci

    I'm not sure the edges are necessarily blurred or lost to emphasize other features, though that may be part of it, I think it's part of the pleasure of looking at painting, where 2 values are so close that the edge is lost. It's a delight to the eye, a part of the 'art' of making art. It's fun for both artist and viewer.

    the one most important principle i tell each of my peers when they step into figurative painting: painting and drawing are synonymous, painting is drawing with the added complication of color.
    the conception of painting as "just filling in" is counterproductive and, essentially, the thing that makes a painting dull; let paint be paint, not just a part of the work

    For beginner painters, would you recommend practicing just portraits or landscapes, and master one before moving on to the next, or getting in a good practice in both types of paintings simultaneously

    I paint with water mixable oil paint and it is not as viscous as regular oil paint. For that reason, it is more difficult to paint wet on wet with water mixable oil paint.

  • @Anna-ky7ix
    @Anna-ky7ix Před rokem

    I am having a really hard time with blurring edges because i work in a completely natural earth pigment base with walnut oil for my oil paintings and though its the old school world way and the most archival by far it takes forever for anything to dry even a little bit so when I work with wet paints they all blur into an ugly color when using paints like i do because they are literally made from ground dirt there are no fillers nothing. So any suggestions on how to work with them? Nobody in my town works in this medium that i have found yet.

    Paint coach, I have a question about learning priorities. There are so many directions to go, all needed, and many of may have both time and energy limits.

    I only paint from a tablet and I feel like I'm pissing against the wind when squinting for values and edges. The brightness messes with my eyes. So I don't squint. I identity my darkest and lightest value and work from there.

    Perhaps what you’re referring to when you mention “edges” is atmospheric perspective.

    • @nataliepayne9365
      @nataliepayne9365 Před rokem

      Seems variation in edges could be used to address or convey distance but doesn’t seem limited to that. You might want soft edges “up front” as part of a technique to draw the eye into the painting or just to deemphasize that area more generally. In the Sargent ex early in this video, the dress area closest to the viewer (the knee/calf area) does not have the sharpest edges.

    Id like to hear your view on AI art generator i recently came across. Actually was just released a month ago. Some seriously crazy stuff. As as artist, kinda annoyed me . They are taking over everything! Look up "midjourney AI" 😑 (then delete my msg)

    • @Chronomatrix
      @Chronomatrix Před rokem +2

      Think of it as a tool to refine ideas. So far AI can't actually paint.

    • @chukukaogude5894
      @chukukaogude5894 Před rokem +1

      Don't worry about it. It still needs human input and a human eye to confirm what it makes is decent. Even then it may look good, but on further investigation, it makes no sense. Usually it needs an artist to bring weight into it and add things to make it make sense. I showed my brother midjourney vs the painting of the red house in this video and he can tell the flaws in midjourney teven though he doesn't like doing art himself. He looks at my digital paintings and clearly feels something from them lol. I did a self portrait after my first year of digital painting to show how far I got. No amount of A.I. will ever understand the experiences I've gone through in life. People don't buy paintings just for how they look. Think Picasso, Banksy, and the many digital and physical painters on YT. People love to see where the painting came from. People are willing to support the artist who makes the painting not the painting themselves.
      Midjourney is a color theory master. It is average at composition. It is horrible at form, perspective, brushwork, and value. It can't even interpret what is being said to it well. The people who use it just make a huge compromise. They start with an idea and just leave with something that looks good but was never near what they wanted. They then repurpose what their brain thinks it is and roll with it lol.
