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.

Dude! You know your shit. Every point that you made I was just like, “ thank you!!!!” This channel is so awesome. So refreshing to find a UA-cam channel on painting with someone who really Knows it.!
There's many, many better than this.
@@europeanroyalty4778 * there are
You always bring it down to simple. That's why I love your videos. You are down to earth,no pretending,you are yourself and each video has improved over the year I been learning from you so much. Just wanna thank you. And if you have a lesson about clouds some day please.
GREAT information Chris! I’ve really learned so much since I found your channel. ❤️
i just recently started painting with oil paints and your videos have helped me a lot. thank you so much!!
I just finished my first portrait ever after watching your video on painting with values, it's just a single shade of red on black canvas but that simplicity really helped break through a block I've always had with even attempting faces, love your content.
That's great to hear! Keep painting!
Fantastic as always. Thanks for these tips Chris!
Love the steps man. You break these steps down really well!
I love the way you explained every point. Very easy to grasp and kept me engaged all though. Thank you!
Such a great paint coach. I am glad I've found your videos :)
Excellent tips, all of them! Your videos are awesome. Thank you for posting these, Chris. Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
Your videos are so informative and so soothing. Thanks man! It really helps a lot!
I absolutely love your videos, you show how simple oil painting is. I bought some oil paint months ago and just couldn't get it right, got frustraded and back to watercolors. But after watching your videos it just clicked, in just a week I feel that oil painting was made for me, it's awesome, it's so gratifying. Really, thank you so much for your work here on youtube, you're amazing!
It's comments like these that make me so happy! If I do only one thing with this channel I want it to get rid of the intimidation associated with oils.
Thanks for your time and sharing your knowledge.
Hey, thanks so much for putting videos like this together!
Such brilliant advice towards the end of the video especially, thank you Chris. Good way to start the New Year with these tools and suggestions!
Happy new year!
I haven’t watched the video yet, but I already know it’s going to be great. Thank you!
These are helpful tips. Thank you for sharing your experience.
GREAT advice! Making bad paintings sucks so it's good to know I'm not alone in trying to hide the crappy ones.
A well -put- together list. Thank you
Priceless tips - thank you 💕
Absolutely 10 worth mastering
If I ever get to paint something decent with oils it would be thanks to you! Thank you so much for all your videos!
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you for what you do! 😎👍
Thanks for watching!!
These are so helpful, thank you!
Great advise, thank you! Now to put it into action...
You are the best Paint Coach ever!
Thank you so much, your videos gave me the push I needed to start doing oil painting.
You are so welcome!
Gee you give good advice! Thanks so much
So I finally read your bio. A fellow Virginian here. Thank you for the video I have been a subscriber for about a month. Nice content great channel. Keep up the great work.
Good info!
I’ve been painting for a long time, you teach mostly the same as I do.... except for color.
I use the prismatic scale, even for my studio work.
That being said, you’re giving great information and doing it quite well!!
And I prefer mostly using filberts....
Best wishes!

Thank you so much Chris, your videos are informative and motivating! Your tip on mindset has been a bit of a game changer for me (I think you mentioned it in a previous video)- I had gotten bogged down in disappointing results and this has reminded me to enjoy the ride!
You got to get through the bad paintings to get to the good ones.
Glad to hear your course is coming out soon! I’ve been gone a while, so have some catching up to do. Looks like you’ve been busy :)
Yeah the course is going to be very convenient for people
Great advice thank you 😊
Omg thank you so much for theses tips😃
Glad you like them!
i went to the grocery to buy fruits to paint, I had a business card with the painting of the pumpkin. and gave it to the people and asked them to watch your channel on youtube.
That made my day, I hate drawing with pencil and it kind of feels like I now got permission to draw with paint
Value...light & shadow...these are some keys I'm working on. Thanks!
What you shared was so valuable, thank you!
Brilliant advice! The last is THE most important: mindset. "Enjoying the process" is very difficult in a goal-oriented society. Have you discussed "resistance" (NOT merely discouragement)?
Glad someone else pointed this out. I had a tutor in college ponder out loud as to why in the past ten years or so his life drawing students have progressively become more conservative, tighter, less experimental with their drawing...less willing to make failures, more anxious about the outcome. I found it actually funny that he couldn't think for a second why this is happening, seems very obvious to me.
I’ve never painted in oil medium, gonna give it a try!!
Go for it!
Fantastic!
Thanks for this.
Any time
Yes everyone number of these are important but for me the 5 most important in them were 1.practice pad canvas, & palette paper for pactice, 3. plains for values, 4.Studys/practices griding off ur canvas & use larger brush, 5. Use Mono to learn value instead of color, color and temperature will come later...
Thank you so much sir,i learn many things from you,GOD BLESS.ALHAMDULILLA
This is excellent
Thank you for all your work and all the videos, they're helping a LOT. I have a question about changing colors once they´re already laid down: is it better to think of it as "laying a more correct color/value on top" or as "mixing more paint into the paint that's already there"?
THANK GOD you say "oil" like I do. I'm in Richmond and NOBODY says that anymore. Just for that have a BLESSED day
Nice and great vidéo !
You validate my instincts.
I don't know where I would be without your painting videos.
Thanks! Glad you get value out of the videos
excellent tips thank you 💛💛
Glad you like them!
@@paintcoach 🧡🧡
A little to much UA-cam personality for me, but your advice is spot on.
Thanks for sharing....
Don’t know if you’ve talked about this or not but could you talk about what colors to choose when painting shadows, I seem to struggle with them a lot like either they are too gray or too purple do you have any tips to make it look the right color ? I’d really appreciate it if you talked about it on your next paint talk. And also thank you I’ve learned so much from you :) .
Could you share how you record your videos sometime?
Love your content 👍
i took away a lot of good tips as a new oil painter here, but I would disagree with discouraging the use of practice on a canvas. I got 4 16x20 (a bit large to begin with, i know) for free with my Michaels rewards points yesterday. Outside of the cost, I just repaint them if I don't like the first result. But half the time I surprise myself, love it, and want to hang it on the wall anyways
Hi Chris. I have really enjoyed watching you paint! You are a fantastic teacher and you seem to know exactly where a newbie painter can go off the rails. Thanks for demystifying the process!
I have a question that you don't really go into on this video, but I've been wondering about. That is what do you use when sketching your outline on a primed canvas. I want to use a pencil (graphite), but have heard that it will come through the painting. I would like to know what you do...
You should be able to use graphite unless you paint very very thin transparent layers. Graphite won’t come through thick oil paint. When you get more comfortable you can sketch in oil paint, like burnt umber. This can be even easier than graphite because the paint will wipe right off if you need to correct mistakes. :)
Hi! I am new to oil paints and I have been looking at different things on how to clean my paintbrushes but none of the videos I've seen explain what to use and how too use it. After seeing and watching some of your videos on how to use the paints I was wondering if you could do a video on how to wash your oil paintbrushes. You may already have a video on it but if you do I can't find it. But it would be great if you could do that! thanks :)

Curiosity question about your canvas pad paintings - do you use a fast-drying medium, or do you hang them up individually to dry for months at a time? Thanks for these videos. 🙂
Hi, great explanation! What program you use for presenting value of painting ? Thank you
I just became your fan today
Welcome!
Nice video.... I am considering finding out if I have any innate ability with this
When you paint on paper pad, you prime it with gessso or not needed?
seriously, who the heck are putting the dislike buttons on vids such as this? o.O Even if you are better than this guy (which I highly doubt is the case in all of you) respect the artist and the effort he is putting into this. you don´t like it? just move on
🙏🏻
❤❤❤❤
Good video. The person on FB who pointed this out said "this guy" and your video does not tell me the name, do you by chance have a name?
I am curious. Cad Yellow and Ultramarine blue to me seem to be fairly strong colors (but not as much as Thalo blue) while Alizarin Crimson always seemed somewhat a weak red...and not actually red primary at all. So why do so many artist like to use it for the red?
Alizarin Crimson is close to the primary (Magenta). I use Quinacridone Rose but Alizarin C is fine imo. The one that is actually quite far away from a primary is Ultramarine Blue, because the primary would be cyan. But you can get away with it if you're painting portraits or landscapes that have more muted colours.
@@thattheresagirl I use Lukas and the primaries are Cyan, Magenta and Lemon Yellow but I have all the others common as well. Just curious about Alizarin and have that as well.
Chris - I’ve always been curious why you include white in with the primaries, but not black. Doesn’t that limit you?
No. I rarely use black. I recommend beginners not use black bc it’s easy to fall into the bad habit of just using black to darken a color. I can get a value as dark as black with the primaries
i draw it out before i paint it with oil paint , that's just me i don't know how any one does it , i would like to know if others do it that way or not????. my first oil painting i did i was out side on a nice day and it took me 6 months to do this painting and a young lady came up to me a asked me if she could buy it i said yes ! she offered me $600 for it. it was a picture of midi evil times of a knight fighting a dragon with a castle in the background , that was 5 years ago , she still has it and she asked me for my number and she has called me if i have done and more painting of midi evil painting
I really love your videos, and am learning a lot from them. But...can I make a really friendly suggestion that you not have the tinkly background music - I find it a bit distracting and often have to rewind to catch what you're saying. Sorry to 'complain' because I really do love your work.
oops came 2nd lmao ,
love ur vids
Yr brightest dark(shadow) is darker than your darkest light.
Drawing vs painting:
Painting is drawing by building up shapes. Drawing is much more about lines.
I have only ever painted in oil acrylics...and I always thought that the paint thinner was used as the medium in oil painting. Can someone please explain why you need paint thinner and a medium please ?😂😂😂
tysm also ur rly attractive
Staring at your eyes and trying to listen to your voice. The struggle is real.
Do you art critique? I want my artwork to be critique regularly. Is it possible if I become Patreon? I want to improve my art😊
Primary : Cinacridone, Ceruelean, Lemon.
11th read a book about self-confidence and don't give a damn about shameful critics
