Alright I've got another question for ya. What's your favorite scene to paint, night or day? I think anything around a sun or moon rising/setting will always be my choice regards of that. I want to do some more night scenes though as I think I've neglected them a bit :D
Night, i love the moody blues and playing with shadow and light. I love this coyote painting and I kept telling you to add the tracks, I should've known you wouldn't forget.
I think if you do more night scenes, it would be neat to see the animals "hidden" ie in the shadows so that you may only see part of them (peeking out from under a tree or what not). Would pull you into the scene because if I were standing there the animal wouldn't likely be right there in front of me.I do like your sunrise / sunset techniques though.
I know I've said this before but this has to be one of my most favourite paintings yet! I can't believe how much movement you got into the water, you can almost hear it rushing over the rocks in front of the Coyote! Excellent job Chuck!
Hi Chuck a very helpful video, as you have taught me to realise that I dont do bad paintings I do paintings I am unhappy with, but using this technique they are paintings in progress and now I just keep going until I am pleased with the result instead of just leaving them aside. Thank you again
I'm about to start the oil painting portion of my first Oil on Acrylic, EVER, based on this channel and Chuck's incredible work and inspiring teaching style. I'm so excited to experience the results first hand!
Thanks for all your tips and beautiful paintings. I'm 70 and haven't painted for 54 years. Now I am painting again as am semi-retired. The grand kids are demanding paintings and my daughters giving me your list of supplies. I feel relaxed and time flies. Thanks again.
Omgoodness! I think this one is my favorite, and my answer to your question is, i love painting the sunrise/sunset, it has taught me allot about shadows, and highlights.. thank you for sharing your amazing piece of art with all of us
Speechless! I thought it was awesome before, but now it’s totally alive, I can almost smell the fresh pine and feel the chill,of the cold air and hear the crunch of the snow. I am totally in awe of how you do this.
I think your paintings are amazing... you have shown me time and patience.....lots of time and patience.....I’ve slowed myself down and now stand back and view more and not rush my paintings. 👍👍😁
Loved how you show us your technique for doing the water and the oils. Having the camera close up so we can see your brush strokes helps tremendously! For me, I learn better when I can get up close to see what you’re doing.
You did such a great job teaching your technique! I learned so much and this inspires me to keep working on my paintings. Thank you for all your hard work putting this together!
I've been a fan of your work for quite a while Chuck and have learned a great deal from the techniques you so generously share. What I really admire is how you continue to improve. As skilled as you are, you don't seem to rest on your last success and strive to make the next painting even more captivating. This painting is a prime example!
Low light winter scenes are my favorite. I started with acrylics about 45 years ago and switched to oils within a couple of months. I haven't painted for around 15 years, but I'm getting the itch again. I know THIS reality is in me.... but until now, I hadn't found any tutorials that would help me achieve the richness that I was striving for. There were always angles and perspectives that seemed wrong. Instead of looking UP into the sky and across the horizon, I felt other artists were looking down. I want trying to achieve a view from an airplane.... because my (inspirational and saved/ waiting for a canvas) photos were all taken with feet on the ground. Thanks so much for the simple, easier to comprehend, explanations.
Appreciate that! I hope you do get back into it again. Perspectives are indeed a tough thing, I think it just takes time I suppose. View from a plane would be cool to master! Anyways thank you and you are welcome!
Hi Chuck. Beautiful finish! You definitely increased the brightness with the oil. It has just enough to make it look so real. I have experienced this landscape in real life and it takes me back to those beautiful memories up north. Thanks for your videos!
Congratulations!!! I never though it would turn out so much better than it already was...I really didn't think it could get any better. You are an amazing artist. Thank you for sharing your talent. I'm sure many get inspired by your beautiful work, and your optimistic spirit.
Fabulous, fabulous painting Chuck! I especially loved the way you brightened up the sky and the way you added the stars. I also liked the way you added more interest to the scene by adding the coyote crossing the stream, I love this snowy night scene as it invokes the stillness, quietness and peacefulness that’s often missing in a hectic world. I’ve got to say that of all the wonderful paintings you’ve created this has got to be my favourite... thus far. :)
I love what you do and let me tell you that i speak french and i can follow your videos because your pronounciation is very good. Thank you for helping me whith my paintings.
Forgot to mention as I live in the UK where the weather is never ideal for painting so I love the bright sunny Mediterranean paintings, or the lush green fields in the sunlight.
I get caught up in the music selections that you use while painting, they take me to another place where the painting I am working on pulls me into the subject matter, and I have you to thank for that.
Fabulous, fabulous painting Chuck! I especially loved the way you brightened up the sky and the way you added the stars. I also liked that the way you added more interest and life to the scene by adding the coyote crossing the stream. I love this snowy night scene as it invokes the stillness, quietness, and peacefulness that’s often missing in a hectic world. I’ve got to say that of all the wonderful paintings you’ve created this has got to be my favorite… thus far :-)
Love your paintings!! I especially loved getting two of them last Christmas!! I’ll be adding this one to my collection as soon as my birthday rolls around!
Hi Chuck. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I like that you share your thought process. You have made me realize that it’s ok to change things throughout the painting. You are very talented and inspiring.
Wow you really took it to a higher level...sharing your thoughts and processes really is insightful... I hope in my wildest dreams that I am absorbing some of this...I really enjoy your tutorials ... they are very inspirational and you explain everything so nicely .. THANK YOU! From Portland Oregon
You’re amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and cool tricks such as this!!! I did something similar when I painted Van Goh’s yellow chair and wanted to add a cat sitting on it. I painted an orange cat and cut it out, to check for size and to see if I would like it. I like the idea of tracing with the fluid acrylic, I will definitely try this!
I really like that way of transferring (using paper), easy to play around with prior to committing. AWesome, let me know how it goes! Thank you, Gretchen!
Amazing transformation! Listening to your thoughts along the way provides great insight into the process. My eyes are drawn to the moment and what will happen next. Thank you for sharing your gift and talent and helping other artists grow. ~ The Natureman Gil ~ 😊🍅
Wow! Beautiful Chuck! I never saw anyone transfer a figure (the coyote) the way you did. I always use graphite on the back, but your way seems a lot less messy, and I wondered how you got that glow look before. Now I see it's the white paint from outlining. I gotta try this! Thank you so much Chuck. :-) You really inspire me. Some day I will try oils...
Definitely less messy. I've tried all sorts of transfer papers and such, I've eventually transitioned to this way and I doubt I'll change that. Thank you, it's my pleasure!!
If I'm doing a painting that I need to draw out first, I actually use watercolor pencils. They let me lay out what I want on the canvas, but when I use acrylics, it blends out easily, and if I need to edit the 'drawing' first, I can just wet my finger and rub it out.
Beautiful piece of art(nearly wrote work, but no... art lol), as per usual. Love the insight into your creative.process, and the evolution of each piece, you give us. It's appreciated sir
Chuck, what about the coyote foot prints in the snow? I didn't see you put any in there. Hey love your videos, I'm going to attempt to paint a lake with dark water so I'm watching a lot of water videos.
Hi Chuck, many congratulations for your painting I want ask you, if I can, which is the sequence of processing: Middle dark, middle light , very dark and very light? I've not understand good the sequence of the tone. Thank a lot, and congratulations again
Chuck, I've just begun painting and LOVE your videos. I've learned a great deal by watching. I hope to get to your level by the time I die, but I'm overwhelmed when I watch you! Did you start painting like this from the beginning? I'm trying to find a good starting point.
Thanks Cindy great to hear it!! My answer to that is 100% no! My first painting looked exactly like any first timer's should. My solution to getting better was to only paint around the subject matter which I was utterly obsessed with (outdoors,, wildlife).. This allowed me to push through frustrations and failures like it was nothing. Don't get me wrong, I've thrown my fair share of paintings out the window in anger, but that internal passion of mine for the outdoors kept me trying far beyond when others would have given up. So I believe your starting point should be to paint only what you truly love in life outside of the art. :)
As far as technique, reading your question again.. No, my process is always changing. I just started with acrylics first and used airbrush actually. I would start simple, one kind of paint, and learn about the pigments, the mediums, etc etc.. It all just takes time
I loved this. When you say you go over the whole painting with oils are you covering everything that's been done in acrylics like the darks of the trees or just the snow?
Awesome, if i try this would it be ok to spray a varnish over it before it dries. I have heard conflicting views on this, from professional artisits on UA-cam, some seem to think that it is ok.
With acrylics, you're okay within a day or two usually. With oils, it's good to let it cure as much as you can. My advice is wait as long as you can. Most varnish creates a layer that is impermeable to the vapors released from the oils as it dries. Gamblin's gamvar is to some degree permeable however, allowing the oils to "breathe" and dry properly. So I would paint on a gamvar varnish or similar if it was not completely dry. Above all, it should always be dry to the touch prior to any sealant layer. If you paint very thick, you could run into problems with the oils cracking if it's varnished too early. In regards to where the line is drawn on it being too soon or not to varnish, I don't think anyone has a definitive answer hence the conflicting points of views you find.
Was going to do a gentle joke that it was perfect except that in all this realism quest you forgot the footprints of the coyote, and then one of the very last frame I see that you added them off-camera New to your channel and absolutely fantastic paintings :) Any advice on how to smoothen skies like you do here, with only acrylic? Or is oil the only answer?
Hey Bob, nope xrays showed nothing, most likely tendinitis from when I injured it while out in the woods. I've battled sore wrists since I was a teenager while doing more extreme types of activities. strength and flexibility is now a priority for it along with a cortisone shot :)
@@chuckblackart Thanks for the quick response, Chuck! I have some sort of tendinitis or soreness in my painting wrist, too. What type of wrist protection is that and is it available over the counter? Thanks! Love your videos and your are a fantastic artist and teacher!

Night, i love the moody blues and playing with shadow and light. I love this coyote painting and I kept telling you to add the tracks, I should've known you wouldn't forget.
Night can be so beautiful with the way moonlight touches certain objects. I do love both night and day however.
an old castle in the moonlight with a lighted coach riding up to
the gate....
I think if you do more night scenes, it would be neat to see the animals "hidden" ie in the shadows so that you may only see part of them (peeking out from under a tree or what not). Would pull you into the scene because if I were standing there the animal wouldn't likely be right there in front of me.I do like your sunrise / sunset techniques though.
Night! I love the nighttime. You could paint a plastic solo cup and it would look great! LOL Paint what speaks to you. That always translates well.
I know I've said this before but this has to be one of my most favourite paintings yet! I can't believe how much movement you got into the water, you can almost hear it rushing over the rocks in front of the Coyote! Excellent job Chuck!
Appreciate that a lot, Cecile. Thank you!!!

Absolutely beautiful!! ❤
Both the before and after paintings are amazing! Love your work!
This is soooo beautiful!!🤩 I love the atmosphere created by the sky on the water and snow 🌲 🐺

Beautiful Chuck!!
Absolutely Gorgeous
Oh my gosh that it's almost like wallpaper, it's beautiful Chuck
Is there a part one? Always grateful
First time on your channel and WOW!

You are so talented.. amazing
Wow so so cool
I've been hesitant about putting in animals or far away people, even because I want them to look real. Thank you for the great tips!
beautiful work, amazing!!!
Wow great tips thanks Chuck Black for another great video!
Great Video ! You are so good! Love the water. Animals are always a nice addition .
Forgot to mention as I live in the UK where the weather is never ideal for painting so I love the bright sunny Mediterranean paintings, or the lush green fields in the sunlight.
Thanks Elaine! Glad you enjoyed it. I would love to explore that part of the world and do some paintings one day!
Thank you for another great tutorial. Love this painting...
Really amazing mastering of the skills, love your paitings! Blesses

Cheryl Suter here. I think the idea is FANTASTIC! I will try your suggestions. My paintings are im proving because of you! Thank YOU!
Love to hear that Ronald, Thank you! It's my pleasure

Sir please tell me how to improve my paintings skills....what equipment s should i use
Were you doing wet on wet with the water highlights or were you waiting for each Ayer to dry?
Hi Chuck. Loved this transformed one vet much. Pls draw a lavender field in moonlight night. It will be great pleasure for me. 💟💟💟💟
Damn so so good this is my fav one
Great !!!!!!
It reminds me of Thomas Kincaid. Probably should invest in you!
Thanks so much Mary, I'm humbled
