Just a quick hint i learned, If you watch him when he's looking at the reference he's squinting and that's a very important tool too. If you squint you'd eyes when looking at the reference you are able to ignore the fiddly details and focus more easily on those values.
Thank you for not trying to be cute. Thank you for getting right to the point. Thank you for the simplicity. Thank you for not playing stupid music, or telling me about your cat, or a long boring intro. I'm so glad I found you!

"we're not trying to get perfection here, and if you're tryin you're just gonna hurt yourself" I needed this, thank you for the amazing tutorial! new subscriber here
I spent some inheritance on some supplies to finally start learning to paint at the ripe old age of 40. I purchased oil paints by mistake. I watched some videos of oil painting and was blown away by the realism. But not only that, the way you paint with oil makes sense to me and actually seems far easier than acrylic. I've decided this will be my first lesson.
Jake I bought your drawing course and it has been invaluable, especially as a Lifelong artists, you've made it easy to unlearn bad habits while making the process fun and simple. You are hands down the best art teacher I've come across and I'm beyond grateful you've decided to offer your painting knowledge for free. Thank you for helping me improve my only my skills but my mindset when approaching art.
Jake u should make tutorial/demo vids like this more often !! youve inspired me to take art more seriously and ur advice helps so much because u make everything so simple, straightforward, and yet digestible (ur commentary is also very entertaining lol) thank u dude :D
Young man!” Excuse my calligraphy, my English isn’t my dominant language.!” I have to say I’m 57 years old I always have had the facility to copy since early age and now that I’m trying to include proportions and the anatomy of the body in general I had discovered that I’m not a natural or natural painter or artist. If I could send you some of my imperfect drawings you will understand! I’m disappointed it was fun before not anymore. I understand education is everything, but I m disabled and never had the opportunity to educate myself. You just gave me with your video this hope to paint again and help my mental and physical disorder. Sorry for so much explaining, but I normally keep to myself I consider everyone else normal and smart. Thank you 🙏 really.!”
No one is born a genius oil painter, all we can do is keep practicing and getting better every time! so don't doubt yourself or your skills. Every master painter had to learn how to paint and had to spend hundreds of hours to reach the level of skill they had. Keep painting!!
over the last few years i've lost a lot of my creativity and have felt like i have lost myself. I used to enjoy all aspects of art but was especially fond of painting. I have finally decided to get myself back together and bring myself back to what i once loved by revisiting my fave medium; oil paints. Thank you for this video! It was so easy to watch and it felt like my brain got poked and suddenly went "oh that's right, that's how you do it"
Youre a savant dude, the way you clarify the proccess and explain your technique scratches my brain so satisfyingly, hows it feel knowing you're destined only to imrpove with age and you're already so skilled, like some art wizard
It’s kind of crazy how few canvas touches it took you to paint this. Every stroke is well calculated and precise. As you say more thinking than painting
I love art and although I don't plan to practice or get good at oil painting at all, this video is amazing to watch and so therapeutic! As soon as I saw it was over an hour I instantly sat down to watch the whole thing. love it!
Oh my goodness I’m so delighted I actually used your last video to draft my first oil painting and I’m really happy to have more instruction to continue my project thank you ! Your my favorite oil painter to follow your work is truly inspiring ! :)
Watching your entire daily painting process from start to finish makes me want to pick up whatever and draw something. It's been a long time since I've felt like that. I've sadly come to hate drawing but you are restoring the side of me that enjoyed it one step at a time. Thank you for that
I appreciate that you’re owning that there are rules. I watch Helen van Wyk videos because I love her teaching style and you remind me of her-great video. Thanks for telling us to keep your brushes separated for lights and darks! 😅
I love the terraria music. I’ve binged all your vids Jake I’m about to bing them again PLEASE make more asap!! I love your stuff. Or stream more often! I just love your content though no pressure. I know good quality takes time.
Just want to thank you for simplifying this beautiful art form and making it less unapproachable. I’ve been trying to learn for years and you had some really great advice. I literally never knew dish soap could be used to clean brushes 😭 thank you so much for this video!
Yesss I’m so excited!! I love your videos and can’t wait to learn from you. I’m 20 and finally have the confidence to start painting. You make me realize it’s not too late to learn and be bad at something at first
this is such a great video to watch if its ur first time painting with oils!!! i started almost exactly like this a few years back, and with time i expanded on techniques like glazing and exploring with mediums and solvents like gamsol and stuff. i never realized how great the zorn palette rlly was for beginners. good job!
You basically summarize all the advices i do to people new to painting . The most important thing is that they are convinced that acrylic painting is easier than oils can't be more wrong than that .
What in the anti capitalism is this how is this free, as an artist that's the best tutorial I've seen so far on oil painting. You're now my favourite creator !!
I’ve been painting with acrylic for years. I’m currently 20 and always wanted to do oil paintings and that realism soft look, and thought I couldn’t, this video encouraged me !!
Excellent video and instruction!! Please remember to tell people to lay their paper towels or rags with any oil or paint on them flat to dry- its a fire hazard if you throw them away!
Hello Jake, thank you for all the work you do to teach us. I've always tried to study art at universities and I am currently still member of a uni that teaches art. But I am dissatisfied as I do not learn as much as I've wished to. So I won't be for too long there. I am commenting rather rarely under videos, but through your work and information you put up for free, I've learnt more about the process of painting and techniques (even details like how to clean brushes the right way), than I ever learned through my professors. It's a shame. Thank you for the teachings, this is all very valuable to me.
I always thought oil painting was so beautiful and wanted to do it but I was always overwhelmed, this video has definitely helped me see it in a much easier light, thank u
Thank you, this was REALLY helpful in a lot of ways!!! 🤩 I would love to see the reference pinned on the screen the whole time to make it easier to follow what you are doing.
The video I have been searching for for weeks! Thank you so much!! ❤ you covered everything from start to finish and that’s exactly what I was looking for! ❤
I so enjoyed your demonstration, Jake. I appreciate your peaceful and accessible teaching style. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work. I am feeling more confident I know how to proceed.
The parts on what you need to start oil painting are super useful, I've been thinking about starting to oil paint but have been worried about harmful chemicals that I may "need" to use in order to be able to paint such as turpentine but suggesting the linseed oil/walnut oil equivalent is really handy, the other tips provided are also great and I appreciate this video! :)
Thank you for all your advice! It has made a huge difference in my approach. I've tried water mixable oils recently and prefer those over regular (the little I've tried of those.) They smell pretty much nothing, have a more creamy texture (for better or worse), dry a bit quicker (but not too fast), and are easier to clean. Good option for everyone who can't stand the feel of sticky, oily textures.
I really love the more educational videos from you. The gaming videos are also nice. Also I'd like to see more videos on individual painters you like/find interesting like the ones you did in the beginning of this channel. Really appreciate your content dude🙃 I also really appreciate you having great sense of beauty which is rather lacking more often than not in other people these days. You're doing a great work🫡
Love your content man, keep up the good work. Also, if you haven't already, I would love to see you paint Johannes Vermeer's famous "Girl with a Pearl Earring". I know you absolutely make a masterpiece out of this one. You've inspired me so much, and I love what you're doing here for the community. You're gonna make it really big one of these days. After the first video I watched of yours, I was completely hooked. Keep it up Jake! 👍
i just spent a little over a hundred dollars worth of a few oil painting essentials to start this. painting is such a beautiful thing and i can't wait to become great at it. glad i stumbled across this video. you have such a thorough way of explaining things and carrying your audience through the process without fabricating how the journey of it really is. you just gained a new subscriber/follower! 🤎
This is a truly amazing video. Your ability to teach and convey ideas and understanding smoothly while also staying engaging is truly masterful. The way that you reassure viewers away from demeaning ideas and redirect us to thoughts of hope and motivation is kind and gentle, enhancing your word's effects by tenfold. The information you provide in this video is very valuable, the video seems a lot more loaded with great tips and info than others while still being easy and fun to digest. I have many more thoughts and praise for every facet of this video, but I am unable to meaningfully convey my thoughts and feelings into this comment. When I did have the words bubble up in my mind, I couldn't rip myself away from the video to comment as it is so exceptionally well made that I just couldn't pause for even a moment. I think you have done a great job with this and I hope that you continue to get the recognition you deserve throughout and beyond the rest of your career in this space. You do it unlike any other. I am truly regretful about the quality of my writing skills and praise as I was unable to honour your work. (I know I was glazing but you deserved it.) (I know it might seem hard to take this seriously with my name, im so sorry!)
Awesome video, thanks so much. A tip I read about that seemed a good idea to try was : Instead of wiping your leftover paint on paper towels, some artists scrape the paint into a jar, with a drop of linseed oil added last. By doing this after every session, and almost filling the jar, they then mix the entire jar to create a gray/neutral colour, which can be used later in other paintings. Most paintings have some different greys/neutrals, rather than bright reds, yellows, etc, so these leftover colour mixes can come in handy in some painting projects, ... eg: they might be a great shadow colour on a wall in a landscape, for example.
Really appreciate you for putting art in the hands of the people. I want into trades, i always thought that I cant draw. Turns out i just never learned how
I’ved used watercolours for years and have really wanted to start with oils, but the idea of learning it seemed so overwhelming… this video came around at the perfect time and you explain things really simply! :D
I dont even paint but I loved this video. I struggle to feel relaxed but I really like the commentary and watching the painting from start to finish. Ur the modern bob ross lmao.
Wha a discovery your channel was! Thank you for your work! You got me into painting. I always wanted to try oil painting. Any painting, but oil was always resonating with me whenever I was visiting museums or churches. I will definitely have a go now! Thank you.
As a new painter, I was also using dishwasher soap to clean my brushes but I found that using a bar of white soap to rub the brushes on works better and faster as you're not needing to keep reaching for more dishwasher soap.
Lots of great information here. For a small nitpick, Sargent was not an academic painter, he used a direct painting method. Academic painters used a variety of indirect methods so they did glaze and paint in color layers over a dead layer (either a grisaille or an ebauche). Think Bouguereau, Gerome, etc, all 19th century painters. One could make an argument that painting in layers is actually easier than alla prima, since you have an initial layer where you don't worry about color, only valures, but that's another discussion. Keep up the great work! I'm really enjoying your content.
Thank you!!! Very very enlightening and relieving to hear and see you skull and your take on painting! Plus you saved me oodles n oodles of time using a newly mixed values to transition "turn" from shadow to light instead of manually trying to blend two abrupt values already on my piece!!! I saw you say n do this and I thought, "Duh Ralph to myself" 😅! I really need some classes already; the whole deal of not looking, thinking and painting all at once just threw a monkey wrench in my dysfunction too, like it seems to apply to all life facets... finally your so inspiring and upbeat, you kept me riveted with you delivery, like when I started this video I figured I would fall asleep in ten, but all of a sudden it was over and I wanted to more more more!
I'm an traditional artist and love playing minecraft at the same time, Hearing Minecraft background music is such a nostalgic comfy lofi while painting :D
Very helpful video, you can explain very well and the humour make it very enjoyable to watch. 🙂 I've also found that oil painting is pretty simple to start with. I mean, any art technique can be made more complicated if necessary. I have a book like this with different painting techniques for beginners, and the author decided to include oil painting in the book instead of acrylic and advertised it as very beginner-friendly. I think that was also the reason why I was more afraid of using acrylic paints because it was such an unknown creature for me.
So glad to have just found your channel! This video made me totally less intimidated by this style of painting. You have so many skills! Could be a cool video idea to discuss your pov on curiosity and pursing your interests
After painting for a few years I've noticed that every single painting I do in the early stages will always hit what I call "the ugly stage" were you look at the canvas and it looks awful and it's a point when many beginners usually quit. Just try and ignore that and push past it and you may just surprise yourself. Just don't give up on yourself, if I can paint a portrait you can too and I'm just an uneducated moron lol.

choosing the minecraft soundtrack for the background music was perfect; very soothing thank you 😌
Yay 🎉❤ I’m so excited for this I’ve been afraid of oil 😅 thanks for the PDF!!
Thank you so much! Cannot wait to get into it!
As a new painter, I was also using dishwasher soap to clean my brushes but I found that using a bar of white soap to rub the brushes on works better and faster as you're not needing to keep reaching for more dishwasher soap.
Lots of great information here. For a small nitpick, Sargent was not an academic painter, he used a direct painting method. Academic painters used a variety of indirect methods so they did glaze and paint in color layers over a dead layer (either a grisaille or an ebauche). Think Bouguereau, Gerome, etc, all 19th century painters. One could make an argument that painting in layers is actually easier than alla prima, since you have an initial layer where you don't worry about color, only valures, but that's another discussion. Keep up the great work! I'm really enjoying your content.
Beautiful masterclass
You are an awesome teacher!!
Thank you a million times for sharing!
I’m Ten Minutes Into … This Is FANTASTIC 🎉TY
Thank you!!! Very very enlightening and relieving to hear and see you skull and your take on painting! Plus you saved me oodles n oodles of time using a newly mixed values to transition "turn" from shadow to light instead of manually trying to blend two abrupt values already on my piece!!! I saw you say n do this and I thought, "Duh Ralph to myself" 😅! I really need some classes already; the whole deal of not looking, thinking and painting all at once just threw a monkey wrench in my dysfunction too, like it seems to apply to all life facets... finally your so inspiring and upbeat, you kept me riveted with you delivery, like when I started this video I figured I would fall asleep in ten, but all of a sudden it was over and I wanted to more more more!
I'm an traditional artist and love playing minecraft at the same time,
Hearing Minecraft background music is such a nostalgic comfy lofi while painting :D
Very helpful video, you can explain very well and the humour make it very enjoyable to watch. 🙂
I've also found that oil painting is pretty simple to start with.
I mean, any art technique can be made more complicated if necessary.
I have a book like this with different painting techniques for beginners, and the author decided to include oil painting in the book instead of acrylic and advertised it as very beginner-friendly.
I think that was also the reason why I was more afraid of using acrylic paints because it was such an unknown creature for me.
Part 2 dark fantasy piece!
coming! first half of august

So glad to have just found your channel! This video made me totally less intimidated by this style of painting. You have so many skills! Could be a cool video idea to discuss your pov on curiosity and pursing your interests
tysm for everything! you're awesome❤❤❤
After painting for a few years I've noticed that every single painting I do in the early stages will always hit what I call "the ugly stage" were you look at the canvas and it looks awful and it's a point when many beginners usually quit. Just try and ignore that and push past it and you may just surprise yourself. Just don't give up on yourself, if I can paint a portrait you can too and I'm just an uneducated moron lol.
