    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.

    The point on focal points just blew my mind. What a great way to break it down so you can consciously make a choice. When I look at my finished paintings, I feel like the viewer struggles to know where to look. Or the eye is drawn to areas that I did not intend to be the focal point of the painting. I know I need to study composition more in general but the tip on focal points and value contrast is going to be immensely helpful. Thank you!

      @sarahlawrence599 Рік тому +4

      using the edges of your canvas/paper is a great way to get started with it. essentially sort of measuring “okay this line is about this far away from the edge and it moves towards the edge at about this angle.”

    as I am recovering from foot surgery I have been watching many of your videos , appreciate the tech and the methods your use to educate and support ... once I can get back to my studio I will order some panels (smaller than I am used to) and hit hard with goals to learn not produce the perfect painting .... this will help me with my "mind" painting - abstracts and the lowbrow stuff

  • @aristotle29

    I've been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now and I've picked up quite a bit of info that has helped my painting immensely. I don't paint on canvas but on gaming miniatures, which is a lot like painting on a coloring book. I have been using oils for quite a bit of my paints because I like them so much more than acrylics which is used everywhere in my hobby.
    I was hoping that you had some advice on painting non metallic metal with oil paints. It would be really nice to see how actual artists paint NMM with oils.
    Thank you so much!

    Chris, I'm very grateful for your videos. You're doing great work.
    I come from Central (or Eastern, whatever) European post-communist country where even after 30+ years of political freedom the knowledge and learning stuff is still a funny thing.
    Masters, teachers, professors here often do not share it, do not try to make their students better. What they do instead is proving how medicore and worthless the student is and how genius is the teacher. I guess it's mostly done in order to cut the competition and keep the older generation's status safe.
    I'm a self learner. It's hard to keep up high levels of determination, confidence and progress when you're on your own.
    People like you are lightening up my path. You deserve lots of gratitude. So here's mine.

    • @mashae.1066
      @mashae.1066 Рік тому

      That’s exactly how I felt when in art school in one of those Eastern European countries. You’re always told you’re doing it wrong, but never actually shown/told how to do it right! It was almost like even the teachers didn’t want to share knowledge.

    As always, awesome videos, Chris. May I ask, as a possible topic, if you could show the differences between loose and tight brushwork (maybe the same image painted both ways), and are there times when having tighter brush strokes would be more advantageous? Is loose brushwork just a trend that fussy art critics want or something to actually shoot for?

    VIDEO RECOMMENDATION: how to paint large paintings / transition to large paintings
    You talk quite a few times about recommending smaller paintings to get more practice but for those times when we decide to make a bigger “masterpiece”, I find it difficult to extrapolate, especially if it’s the same reference. Please talk about what to look for and how to best approach!
    LOVE your content by the way, I’m so impressed by the volume and quantity of your educational material as well as your sheer passion and transparency.

    Thank you for your great videos 😊 I’ve just started using oils (water mixable oils) . You said to put in the comments any video requests, so here goes. I’m interested to know about the drying of oils, eg. At what point can you sell a painting, how long does it need to dry first? Do you have to varnish an oil painting or can you leave it? What about using a medium to help it dry quicker, I’m nervous to try it in case it goes too far the other way and dries too quickly so I’ve lost the benefit of using the oils. Many thanks Caroline

    @cherrypickit3048 Рік тому +1

    So if you are looking at a painting that you've done, and you know something is wrong with it, but you can't pinpoint exactly what it is, what should you look for first? The composition? The lights and darks? The focal point? The values? I appreciate all of your videos and am trying to go through all of them so maybe you have already addressed this. Thank you!

    • @lengray7401
      @lengray7401 Рік тому

      For me, I ask myself to describe what I dislike about my painting. Sometimes, if I'm really stumped, I might write down 3-5 sentences on each thing. From there, I look at the adjectives and use it to diagnose the issue. Did I describe a painting as dull? It's usually an issue with the values. Did I say that it just looks uninteresting? Composition might be the culprit. Does my figure look off? Time to check anatomy and negative space!
      As you do more paintings and analyze them, you'll start to key into what words you use to describe things and what issues it points to. When I first started painting, I didn't have that skill, so I would write a page or two for each completed piece, explaining where (and if) I used the elements of art and principles of design until I got that vocabulary, then I would try to do better in the next painting.
      Hope that helps!
