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.
You make your points so clearly and eloquently! The very best instructor on CZcams--by far! If I ever get the guts to paint...
you're videos are always so educational, especially for experienced, but not 'expert', level artists like me! Every time I watch one of your videos it's like pressing a reset button, helping me to see areas for improvement that I couldn't previously see! Thank you 💜
Exactly what I’ve been struggling with in my portraits. Thanks for this, Chris.
Your works are so great and had no idea that one can explain such great art and methods so simply and it's so exact problems that I deal with whenever I paint! Thank you 🙏❤️
Thank you for sharing your struggle and learning opportunities and observations from life.
You are not just the painting coach. You are the painting HERO.
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!
you are definitely a great tutor - getting the edges right could be the title of a book you may want to write
Love your tutorials Chris, they are helping me immensely.
So excited to have found your channel! Ready to get into painting again :) THANK YOU
Thanks for your advices! You're the best 😩💓
Thanks so much for a ton of super helpful information...I am at the very beginning of my journey and recognize how lucky I am to benefit from your skills, experience and ability to articulate so well. THANKS !
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.
that was soooo well explained Chris
I just love the way you speak lol your passion for art and teaching makes my soul happy
Great explanation of edges and blending A+++
I get so many "aha experiences" when I watch your videos! Thank you so much!
Painting portraits from life really is the best. Just so hard finding people willing to sit🤔🤔
I do enjoy watching your videos, you are an amazing artist 👩🎨 .. thanks 🙏
So helpful! Thanks!
Thank you so much chris 💫
love your videos, i learnded so much
Very nice and well explained. Every tNice tutorialng is crystal clear and easily understandable.
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.
thank you for sharing. We are all students, always learning and evolving
Gorgeous video! Thank you for useful information
it's finally ti. i'm ready to learn.
You are the best ❤️ Art Hugs from India
every time you say GO GET PAINTING i smash that mf like button
Awesome video
Thank's🧬🖌️
😃💖
You are AMAZING
Like viewing your videos. They're easy to understand.
You look so good! I loved the painting advice as well ;) ;) ;)
thank you
Great secret!! Grateful!!
Excellent points.. thank you for sharing..I have subscribed..
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
I love that❤
Great video
Good info.
Thanks
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
why ain’t he reply i wanna know too🤣
Chris, you sold me on switching to oil from acrylics, but is there any value in trying winsor newton water soluble oils as a transition step?
great video! what colors do you normally use for skin tones
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.
Alla prima 2 is going for $200 on Amizon but the first one is only about $30. Is there a big difference between the two?
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.
❤️
Hello chris, i just wanna ask can you make a video about flesh in a see through fabric?, bcoz that thing is just interesting and i confuse whenever i want to paint that..... ✌✌✌
How do you transport your plein air paintings without messing them up or getting wet paint everywhere?
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. Thumbnails, value studies, drawing, master copies, outdoor, still life’s - all good but it may not be possible to pursue all givens life’s limits. Any advice? Thank you.
👍👍!!
What size refrence photos do you use? Am attempting a portrait but the photo seems a little small.
Is there a way to keep your paint (on canvas) wet over a period of days?
can I create likeness without sharp line or edges line
I know people think it’s silly but I’m going to quote Helen Van Wyk, Who said, “you are not painting until you are painting into paint.“
Can’t understand how to find the IG page. Transcript didn’t help either. Anyone???
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.

....this painting of Abe Lincoln, from a photo...oooobbbviously.
Made me guffaw!!
lol...same!
If anyone is truly interested in how light works i can highly recommend : Light Science and Magic- An Introduction to Photographic Lighting
Book by Fil Hunter, Paul Fuqua, and Steven Biver. it's a book for photography/cinematography lighting but there is a huge overlap for painting/drawing.
Do you have a list of books somewhere? The books you referenced here.
i want to know too!
Yes! In the description of this video
The more I watch the more I want to paint, but damn I am the fucking work right now😩
“….obviously” 😂
I'm the opposite lol I can already make decent s I just want to learn soft
Morandi
Perhaps what you’re referring to when you mention “edges” is atmospheric perspective.
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.
how to improve my attention span , I have good ideas and soft that I tNice tutorialnk up , the problem is putting it down in fruit loops and knowing
i think that's because the sleeve was lace and he could see thru it lol
Only 2% of our vision is sharp edged. So lost edges "in real life" are the way we see.
I swearr
does the soft like Michael Jackson just to ?
you are very nicely lit... you look like an oil painting
Love your videos dude.
Wondered if you have any capacity to critique my work?
Takes off glasses
Another zinger
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)
Think of it as a tool to refine ideas. So far AI can't actually paint.
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.
Do you have an instagram account? I'm trying to find you!
