It’s amazing how the painting goes from broad, flat shapes of color then bam, light and depth suddenly appears where moments earlier there was none. Thank you for letting us watch over your shoulder.
Just amazing how easily you make painting "wet on wet" seem. I have watched your uploads for many years now and must say that I continue to enjoy every one. Great work Mr Whisson
Beautiful painting Colley. Thank you for sharing these demo's with us and thank you to your son for editing these so well. You two make a great team. Kudos
Beautiful painting! I've watched many of your videos and just love how you paint. Also appreciate the information you share and your gentle spirit. Thank you so much.
Hi Colley. Wonderful to be able to watch you make these lovely paintings. The angle of the camera makes for a lot of foreshortening on the horizontal. I don't know if there is any scope to move it a little closer to the centre if you're still experimenting with angles.
Wonderful demonstration. It’s seems that you must have had a clear vision of the final painting and the reference was just a starting point. I thought you were going to make it a night scene when you added the moon. I felt it could of easily gone in that direction with value relationships you had at the point. I was struck by how you planned the sequence of paint layers. ❤
Thanks for generously sharing your expertise! Your demo is truly inspiring, especially your mastery of the wet-on-wet technique. I'm curious, do you use paint straight from the tube, or is there a specific medium you incorporate? The smoothness and ease of manipulation are remarkable. Would you mind revealing the brand of your oil paint?
Hi Colley, I love your work! I notice that before going in with your white paint for the sand, you cover the canvas in green and purple. What was your goal with that? Is it so that it mixes and shows through the white paint? EDIT: Aha! I just watched a few more of your videos and it seems like you maybe often do an underpainting with blue / purple for cools and green for warms. Does that sound right?
Because we work from dark to light with Oil paint, my thought process is for my block in stage, is to go a least one tonal value darker and warmer than my finished value will be. This gives me a slightly warmer temperature and darker value base to springboard off.
I have always been a big fan of your paintings sir❤❤.. I follow you on Instagram and got to know about your UA-cam channel today.. And i am so excited to see all the videos... Specially your paintings look so fresh 🍃💦... Love your style of work sir❤🎉

From simple shapes.... what an outcome!
Such color and tonal sensitivity surely from many years of bathing your eyes in the natural light. Well done.
Thanks Ken.
I am such a slave to getting proportions exactly right. Maybe one day I will learn this kind of freedom. This is what I love about your videos.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the feedback, we’re playing still the camera-work, but it’s something we’ll definitely keep in mind.

I like to know up to about 90-95% of how my painting will turn out, leaving a little bit of room for interpretation; thanks for watching.
Great demo👌
Thanks Lisa.

I use Dick Blicks Archival Oils and Lean Medium; they’ve been my go-to for many years now.
Well done, sir.
Thanks Bob.

@@colleywhissonartist ah, super interesting! Thanks for the response!
멋진작품 잘 보았습니다^^
Thank you.
I have a question. Would it be better not to use white when blocking? I know that white paint dries slowly. Most artists want to know how they do it.
I find it’s best to leave white out of any paint mix for as long as possible, because it spoils the quality of our tonal values.
