Just a comment to say, I so appreciate you sharing your skill woth us, Scott! I feel so lucky to be able to consume your content for free. When I'm in a better financial position I'll be coming over to Patreon.
Dear Mr. Waddell, Let me first introduce myself, I am Ybo Houttuin, a 63 years old painter from Amsteram, The Netherlands. As a lucky european i have on short distance acess to the entire art history in many Musea. I like your videos and watch them often. You teach technics in a way everybody can understand and benefit from it. And, off course, the alla prima is what many people like, they want results immidiatly. Its not the workshop off Van Eyck and his brother, they worked 22 years! on the triptiek, you can vistit in the St Bavo in Gent, Belgium. There technic is one where time is the main artist. The start is a drawing and then, very exact, painting in gray. So they made a B/W picture! Over it came the glazing, very thin, glazing for many years, accents on details and glazing on for 22 years.... The only exception is Hans Holbein the Younger, who made a drawing, put one ground layer and finished off with one glazing. Nowerdays, time disapired, people seem to run towards death. Why this story? Considering your knowledge, your skills and experience I just wonder what would you be able to create in this medivial technic. And if you want to see the Boys from Belgium again, I hereby invite you in our house in Amsterdam. Please, excuse my faults in Englisch writing as I hardly do... Ybo Houttuin
So glad I found you! Excellent, detailed, precise ..... Learning a lot! Im not a classical artist but do love to paint portraits. Love the dry humour. Love the technical stuff.... Keep it up, Carole (South Africa)
I follow you here and on Patreon, and i don't know how many people have told you, but for me, you are the best teacher i have found! And i am so happy !! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! God bless and take care! ❤
You are simply amazing. An incredibly skilled and experienced painter, an extremely generous teacher and I don't know you personally, but it appears you are an intrinsically great human. Thank you for all of it 😊
I use a small truck lettering brush to do crisp & slightly blended edges. One long line, brush loaded. But the oils have to be thinned to enamal consistency. Overlap first stroke & back over, spaced outward a bit so theres a slight mix. With quality oils, they can be really thinned to flow through long brushes, & still be opaque. The width of paint is all a uniform thickness covering really well. Working in thicker paint may leave transparent spots, but a soft brush & light touch will take care of that. I use them for any long edge. The brush length takes out any wiggles, a nice smooth line.
I really appreciate the quality of your painting. It shows me that when I paint a portrait I really only take it to 75 percent completion. I will try to incorporate your lessons. Thanks again.
Hi Scott, You are such a phenomenal art teacher. Your teachings a worth more than money can buy. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful gift you have. I've been painting for 8 years (novice) and battle through paintings and then I found you .... GOD BLESS YOU, from the bottom of my heart. Nicky South Africa
I really enjoyed your explanation there is a lot of important information that's necessary to end up with very satisfactory outcomes for your work thank you.❤
Ok, so I've watched everything and need new content while I'm painting. I stayed for the excellent visuals and descriptive advise and have grown to spot and enjoy the pessimistic sarcasm. Comon Scott get to it mate.
I'm learning so much from the way you, I'm finally understand what's going on regarding lighting and how it affects surfaces. It's really challenging how I'm thinking about rendering forms.
Thank You for sharing your talent and skills. Learning so much from your amazing skills and clear teaching. “Humor only” that you had unfinished edges on your wall pass through. Added a touch of an Easter egg to your edges video . 🤩.
I love it when I see you have a new video out but this one is the best yet. Your talent and knowledge is a pleasure to watch! You have helped me so much, thank you 😊
I just found you on You Tube and so glad I did. I take a painting class but have learned so much more from you that is extremely helpful and I love your teaching style - it is very relatable. I have a question about your colors - what about green? I always have problems knowing which green to use.
Always nice tips! Edge quality is the most common “error” i see with beginners. Im now used to keep soft edges on the go and just make them a bit sharp in zones i want contrast
Thank you Scott! I truly needed to understand and learn this secret! I feel so frustrated when a subject looks pasted on. Probably an unintegrated background 1:13 lighting issue more than i realized. I love the color blending trick for an edge that will now continue to turn back and not stop hard. I just got a lot out of this!! Thanks again!.
This is the first time I've watched one of your videos. I'm always looking for more information on how to improve my painting. I'll be following yours and try finding you on Patreon. This was very informative and well done. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this wonderful video. It helps me a lot. It teaches me to be patient with my projects and to focused more on the shape of things. You are a great teacher. God bless you.
I like the way he constantly glances back over his shoulder as if he's giving us that 'inside tip' that he could really get in trouble for having it disclosed.
I am mostly an acrylic artist, and at the end will go over in more detailing in oils. My Budget is Slim, tissue thin. Anyways I enjoy YOUR work. Reminds me of "LECNG JUNE Hyper REALISM ", but not HYPER in his mind, but the ability to strive to achieve, from his Gut soul.(SOLE ?) This Is the effect I try to get as close to as I can, using the FAST DRYING ACRYLIC, being frugal to not glob on paint . I do not care what ART CRITICS say about Wildlife Art. I appreciate it while I can, before the are is mowed down , gutted, to make room for another fast food, or gas station, or another CONDO. Where I live NOW they are building the LARGEST Affordable Housing in USA. And I see taxes go sky hi, for home owners, which has all ready gone up 7-14 thousand more in last few years
Le saludo desde España, nos une la pintura y quiero decirle respecto a la carestía de la vida tanto en Europa, como en Estados Unidos, que tenemos los peores políticos para los ciudadanos , desde hace décadas, vivimos tiempos de incertidumbre. Le deseo lo mejor
Hi Scott..this was such a useful video for me ..!Thank you so much..!I learn a lot from you..I must also say that you got me a bit curious..👀 about what you were looking over your shoulder for..🤔but that is just me…😃..Greetings from Croatia..love your work !👋
Thank you for these excellent tips, helps a lot; one other thing that I would be informed about is 'the colour(reflection) in the shadows': do i have to apply these first in the underlayer and background? Thank you.
Your a very talented man! This the second video I've seen of yours. N it is great! I've watch others? But yours are n the top? 2 Thumbs up,he to n learn more. A list of good brushes is needed n where to buy them.thank you very much!
Per favore ,potresti mettere la traduzione.Nn so bene l inglese,ma penso che la tua pittura è bellissima!, e mi piacerebbe veramente capire il contesto di tutti i tuoi video❤
Hey Scott, love your work. I have problems getting the right pink tint. Please could you tell me exactly the red colour you are using and is the Orange a Cadmium or Cadmium Hue? Thank you
As still a beginner oil painter, I wonder if using medium, painting on oil canvas paper and painting quite small are whats causing me difficulties. For a realistic style like this it seems the usual advice of painting small is counter-productive, would generally advise against any of these for a beginner?
Just a comment to say, I so appreciate you sharing your skill woth us, Scott! I feel so lucky to be able to consume your content for free. When I'm in a better financial position I'll be coming over to Patreon.
Your talent is indeed God given .The first thing that stood out to me were the eyes,they are all so lifelike.
i was looking for a video like this for YEARS. THANKS YOU A LOT!

Do you paint your eyebrows yourself or are you related to Groucho Marx
Hey Scott, love your work. I have problems getting the right pink tint. Please could you tell me exactly the red colour you are using and is the Orange a Cadmium or Cadmium Hue? Thank you
Could you please make a video about painting cloths

where do you youtubers get these palettes that are next to your canvas like that.
