I joined your Patreon page after watching your videos because of your clear teaching - and your honesty. I have liked and saved all your UA-cam videos I have watched. I came to art in m senior years and I am in heaven with this wonderful creative outlet. Thank you also for your humour and the tongue-in-cheek irreverence!
I thought about going to college to study art but after looking at the curriculum it was clear that the teaching of actual skills was really not important to them. I decided to teach myself through books, UA-cam, art history and trial and error. I've found that teaching myself is so fulfilling especially when I see how much I've progressed and finding my own style.
Read Max Deorner, The Materials of the Artist, 478 pages of pure knowledge from the dude who is referenced more that Cennino Cennini. You Welcome.
@@Splatterpunk_OldNewYork thanks, I'll check that out.
@@Splatterpunk_OldNewYork Looks like a good one but maybe outdated (1921). There is a good recent book on oil painting: "Traditional Oil Painting: Advanced Techniques and Concepts from the Renaissance to the Present" from Virgil Elliott. I like it because it's about traditional painting and old masters techniques, but with modern knowledge about chemistry. So it provides an accurate vision of the do's and don'ts for oil painting. I learned quite a lot reading it
I went to artschool for a year (in the Netherlands) with the same hopes of learning technique. Never in a full year did i ever have a class on skill improvement. It was all conceptual, named good or bad without much explanation and they never really said how we could possibly imrpove our work. It was always a guessing game and eventually so many people dropped out because it just did not make any sense.. it was just such a shame.
@@ellepicauly205welke kunstacademie was je gegaan?
I hope you never stop doing vids, I have learned ALOT from your lessons. You talk down to earth, and comments like, Fan brush take a big blob, and turn it into a smoother blob, LOL! But seriously, I struggle with faces and watching how smooth your outcome is when done, is very impressive. Lot to learn on my part. Thanks for sharing your experience, so very helpful!!
The blue auto shop paper towels are the best!
Love the way you interact with your audience -makes me chuckle
Had a job at a diner long ago and when we were at down time or asked to clean the mirror or windows we'd use coffee filters. They dont leave behind any particulate. I'd say those or the blue shop towels could also work which you'd find in often times a truck stop or auto store.
Great,you are back. Always look forward to your art and humour.
You work is breathtaking. Love your videos.
Really appreciate all you have to say, and how you say it 👍🏼. Afraid this old girl, will just be doing self taught with the help of people like yourself on you-tube. I am too old, don’t want to take years of learning at 68, only really want to paint for the enjoyment of it - ofc I do want to do my best and to better that. I’m sure it’s not the best way of going about things, but things like age, ill health, money - are matters that do prioritize for me. I started with acrylics etc, love and have many mediums, but oil is something I have been wanting to try for a while now - I just love the way it can be used, how it comes together - I am quite fascinated by it . I do have some oils here, not the most expensive - it will really be a try - if it is something for me or not. There are many decisions to make beforehand - like what to use for cleaning the brushes on the palate. I do have breathing issues etc but want to use proper oils - what should I use 🤷🏼♀️. Decisions decisions- it’s stopping me from starting with oils 😕, but I have to give it at least a decent try. I am mind blown by the possibilities of it. Beautiful forehead, by the way lol

Scott, you are so funny. I love your videos. I have signed in your Patreon. I’m learning a lot from you.
Thanks Scott for the kind words about Snow College, and you are right we are only a two/three year school. We have an AFA degree, but we do not have a BFA yet. Also, I believe the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts in Connecticut teaches skill based classes and has a BFA degree. We have sent a couple students there and they had a good experience.
Also, East Carolina University has an great art program. They teach figure drawing and painting, and when I went (20 years ago as well) they had a portrait painting class.
Your classes are incredible ❤️❤️❤️
Having been through this with scot I cannot recommend him highly enough. Patient and extremely useful in his insights and commentary highly recommended :)
Best painter on yt...
Your way to teaching the art it’s a great thank you
Art Center College of Design in
Pasadena, Ca. teaches wonderful classical drawing of the head and figure and color theory etc. Fabulous!
Love your videos!
Thank you for you exists!!!!❤
Excellent video. I like your art
I love your technique ❤ amazing
You create good quality videos with useful information. Thank you so much!!
If you could make a video on how you record your painting videos, multi-camera (you, your palette and the painting), how you edit and your gears; that would be awesome bro.
thanks a lot for the tips.
Благодарю Вас за учебное видео! Спасибо,что щедро делитесь своим мастерством.❤❤❤
Jeah chacka ... im da first one 😊 thx for your good vids . God bless you
i use dried-out (old opened packet) facial or baby wipes to clean my brushes off, no dust
I went to Tyler School of Art. There were a couple professors who taught master skills, but a lot were conceptual. That was 1983, so things may have changed since then. Ateliers seem good. I recommend studying with Scott. He's awesome.

Do you ever do landscapes?
What do you think of the books by Todd Casey?
You both are sincerely dedicated to teaching from my limited perspective.
Yippee! i get so excited when a new video drops. you are the absolute best. i am learning so much from you. with my greatest thanks.
I just learnt that comments are good for views! So here is my 2 cents 🕶️
Love your videos🤍🥹
I studied fine art/ oil painting at college and I have to say that I have learned most useful tips on UA-cam 😑
Just what are Bargue drawings?? Do you draw from the book?
Credo che tu sei il più bravo che ho visto finora su youtube. Peccato che mancano i sottotitoli e non capisco ciò che dici😅
Hello dear , please tell me what is the darkest black? , i use mars black but it is not black ! It is like the darkest grey !!😢 hope you reply to me and thanks so much
Hola,preciosas obras ,debe de ser muy interesante lo que estás explicando,por favor poner subtítulos 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏,muchísimas gracias un saludo
After watching your videos - I noticed your use of rounds. I looked at my brushes and saw I have no rounds like you use! I like your techniques and I am not getting the smooth skin like you are getting. This has been puzzling me and the teachers I have had used flats in classes to demo with. So I am off to get some good rounds tomorrow morning and then practice.
I really needed this video!!
Newsprint- more dust free
I wish you could add English subtitles so that people from other countries, like Japan, Spain, Russia, etc., can automatically translate them with the option that UA-cam offers. Your viewers could be greatly increased.
San Francisco’s Academy of Art University (AAU) teaches skill ~
"Ingbretson Studio of Drawing and Painting" would be my choice of teachers that teach well and is very passionate about art and teaching "old school" painting. Check out his UA-cam channel , and see if you like what he offers. Ingbretson studied under Ives Gammell, the teacher, writer, and painter who kept the traditional atelier method of painting instruction alive in America.
If The Maine School of Art hasn't changed their model of teaching drawing and painting, they had a really good group of teachers in the 90`s. At that time they were growing, so I don't know if their quality of teaching has been effected
This is so amazing 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 20 years ago u look like 20 years old lol
What about the self teach painters like me, never went to any class
Without starting the video I would say first Atelier and then youtube for good people that have the guts and will to train themselves youtube has a LOT of great artists like this guy. Forget universities, I dare to say that universities make a idiot out of you rather than an artist (Specifically in this field universities are garbage because their postmodernists ideals regarding art).
Scott who’s there? 😂
Great! Thank you, but … enable English subtitles please!!!!!!
spinning wheels
in the last 4 days ^ ^
just for algorithm
the cast shadow from your hat, onto your eyebrows, makes you look a bit like bert from sesame street. 😅
لوسمحت نريد ترجمة الى اللغة العربية
Subtitles pleaseeee…. 🙏🙏🙏
Yep. One of the greatest unspoken truths that some know intuitively and others avoid discussing: there are a few individuals who don't need any training at all, and they can paint and draw at a world class level. Others can spend a fortune going to the best schools for decades and still never stand a chance of actually making a living at it. Those who do it for themselves first and foremost are wise because they will come out on top regardless of which side of that coin they fall on.
needs moar blending :)
Scott....my cat is pissy.
I checked out the art scam on IG. Thanks
My BFA is worthless. I got WAY more out of EvolveArtist online, which was exponentially less expensive than my university. Wish I had saved the money and found Evolve sooner.
