I've watched a lot of painting tutorial videos and this one is awesome. I'll be saving and watching it again. You offered many helpful tips! Love your channel.
I love the dappled light in this one. Yes, I’m a watercolor artist but bound and determined to get back into oil. It’s been a long time and your helping me remember. I live in Florida and I’ve seen so many scenes just like that, and you’ve ‘ Got It’. . Thanks
Excellent vid that one - thanks for that. As I live on a houseboat, wet pictures = good pictures! Any castle / cathedral walkthroughs would be massively appreciated as well. :-)
I Make my Alizarin Crimson by mixing magenta and burnt sienna . They are stronger pigments and make it a better paint to work with. Just something I learned recently . 🙏
Hi. Love your channel, love your content. Thanks for doing such a good job of teaching while making it light and fun. I've started to do some outdoor painting since The Great Lockdown started. I was wondering about what kind of camera you use to take your reference photos. I'm thinking of getting a compact digital camera and I could use some help with knowing what features to look for. Can't spend a fortune. Maybe $400 range tops. Grateful for any suggestions. Thanks.
I am seriously thinking about subscribing to your Patreon tutorials. There is one thing that is holding me back. The way you talk is very loud and very fast? Unless that problem is resolved, I must hold back... Other than that problem. I love your content. You are a very good teacher...
Nice video, I was searching for a video on what paint thinners other oil painters are using. I was recently only using the non toxic gel and working on small paintings but found it is horrible for larger paintings
If you need non toxic look up Chelsea Studios brush cleaner. I tried it and it was good. But the lavender smell is very strong. It is a bit pricy too. I feel the most common paint thinner used is Gamsol. It's not non toxic but it's the most studio friendly.
I think this is terrific as always. I have a question for your next video on Friday. I’ve notice my paintings are better, my strokes are better, color is much better when I use a oil primed linen canvas vs my oil paper vs my canvas board. These other substrates are just practice pieces however I find my paintings always turn out so good when using finer quality products. Do you feel this is really matters? Silly I realize but this is what’s very expensive when you’re painting a piece every day (PleinAir) Thanks so much. Kim
I feel like I’m already confused about when to use paint thinner and when to use linseed oil. You mentioned you were only using paint thinner which I thought you mostly used for cleaning and favor linseed for thinning. Ugh 😬 Maybe I need to rewatch the video about mediums again. Watched pretty much all your videos but still terrified to start oil painting.

i painted this picture five times. each time gets better! this was a very challenging subject!
Excellent tutorial as usual. I love the way you drank the coffee with that slurrrrp..😊
Beautiful display of shadow, light ; water and dirt. 👍
Many thanks
Thanks also to you, for you have enlightened me more in depth with oil, then any other channel that also delve into the subject of " explaination".
Chris, thank you for putting yourself out there for us to learn from and enjoy!
Thank you for putting out so much content!! It keeps me from going crazy inside during the lockdown 😅
Glad you enjoy it!
I've watched a lot of painting tutorial videos and this one is awesome. I'll be saving and watching it again. You offered many helpful tips! Love your channel.
Awesome, thank you!
I did paintings in plain air similar to this painting. wow, what the difference!
I'll be sure to rewatch this before I start on my next painting. It really helps me to loosen up and not get bogged down like I normally do.
i paint with gouache but this video was still extremely helpful!! you are so engaging in your delivery i love your videos!

That was really great to watch! Artists can really get a lot of information out of your videos, so thank you for putting them online :)
Glad you enjoyed it!

So beautifully done❣️
Many many thanks

So so informative 😮
Yeah we all hung around for a full screen shot of that great painting.
I’m giving you a like anyway, but don’t let it happen again.🤪

You videos are awesome ! Have you done one on mixing colors?

Hi! I’m glad you like the videos. I honestly just use my iPhone most of the time for reference photos. Every now and then I will use my Cannon 7D.
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
Great painting. Could you zoom in a little bit more on the canvas? Thx.
Good lesson!
Thanks! 😃
I would love you to do a video on dappled light on a portrait. It kicks my butt. #teampatreon
Good idea!
@@paintcoach I agree; always struggle painting that type of light on skin 😅

How long are you waiting in between layers for it to dry?
