Becoming a Master Oil Painter | Oil Painting Alla Prima
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- I recently learned from a master of alla prima oil painting, Daniel Keys, and wanted to understand what helped him to become a master painter. If you want to become a master yourself or simply want to level up your work, I'm talking about my key takeaways and how you can apply them to your painting practice.

How do you like this filming format? Do you enjoy seeing my palette at the same time as the painting? :D
This is nice, I do like seeing your palette and I spend a considerable amount of time watching what is happening on the palette when i'm watching artists paint. I will say that the arrangement placed too much focus on the palette, and the painting is secondary. I really do appreciate and enjoy your commentary, and it had helped reinforce some of my own beliefs about painting and the learning process. Please keep doing this!
Thank you David! I agree, I think next time I either am going to put the painting on the left or film from the right so that the painting is nearer to the camera. :) I'm so glad you enjoyed it though, and that it helped reinforce your own thoughts on the painting process! That makes me so happy.
I love seeing your process Chelsea. I also enjoy listening to you. Your voice is very calming. I have been painting as a muralist for 20 years and have been hoping to do more fine art canvases. I have a website but have been super challenged by marketing. You are so inspiring. Thank you for putting yourself out there! ❤️
It is an excellent presentation. Can only be made better if the subject was shown , as well, probably best with superimposed image in lower right, which you could fade in and out if you don't want it taking up any 16:9 space.
You are absolutely correct re fundamentals.
I am on a very similar journey and very happy I found you. Thank you.
Yes!
This is one of the best painting videos I've seen on UA-cam
I can see why you wanted to bring attention to this video and Chelsea's channel; what a treasure trove of insight. Thank you for the recommendation!
This was the vid you were recommending? , fantastic....the process, the process...
Thanks for the recommendation!
Hi PAINT COACH! Yes thank you for this recommendation. I have subscribed to her channel too now. Am painting almost every day cause of you!
An artist called Paint Coach just dropped a vid a recommended your channel.. Ohhhh boy... Im so happy i found you, this vid goes beyond the usual... Some areas i need to strengthen... Thanks for the kick..!
Chelsea I have to say that as much as I am enjoying your painting demos, your narratives and what you are saying is hitting home with me so bang on that you almost have me in tears. You are addressing all of my personal issues and confirming that all that I am experiencing is normal. The fear, procrastination, perfectionism, all of it. I feel like you are speaking directly to me. Thank you helping me realize that this is all a legitamate part of the process.
This video is just what I needed Chelsea! Thank you for it! I definitely need to get my fundamentals right. 'Just when you want to speed up - slow down' is a sentence I should have tattooed, haha.
Haha, I can relate! I would tattoo that, and maybe 'step back' too, to make sure I back up from my easel often. 😂Maybe I can just put sticky notes all over my easel as a middleground?
I can’t tell you how helpful your videos are. It’s the “therapy” I need to keep painting! Thank you!
You are a very good teacher in the way you speak, breakdown your process and deliver your artistic perspective. Fascinating to watch you paint. ❤️ My grandfather was a master painter- Marc A. Barrosse, Sr. He could paint anything. Brush and or palette knife. He lived to paint and for over 50 years, until he was 86 years old, sat daily with his art at his place on the fence in Jackson Square across from St. Louis Cathedral (New Orleans). Tourist came from all over the world and bought his art. As a small child, I sat at his feet just once and watched him paint. Now, at 72, I wish I would have picked his brain and watched him paint more. Both my father and mother painted. She was a commercial artist and painted daily all her life. She too lived to paint. I have painted through the years and can paint anything but mostly enjoy people though, then still life- preferring oil then pastel. I haven’t painted in quite a few years. I am a psychotherapist and author. I must make the time to do so again. 💐🎨 thank you for the inspiration 🎨🎉🖌🖍🖊🖋✏️📝
I've been painting about 10 years, and you philosophy is just wonderful. It's a great philosophy about most things in life. This attitude of not just trying to complete the painting but being in the present and the work as we're doing it. You had many other great points. Thanks!!!
I’ve never really dabbled in oils but it has always intrigued me. I feel that way about drawing and lettering. I am always excited about sitting down to learn! I love this video😃
Thank you so much Elizabeth! I'd love to hear how it goes if you decide to give oils a try -- and there is certainly a lot to keep you busy learning. 😂 I'm that way too -- I love being able to learn all the time. I think it's what makes art so rewarding. 😊
Just amazing...... flowers painting
I really can't wait see your subscribers grow. Such great content! I'm happy to have joined the ride early on in ur awesome journey to come!
Khara that is so kind, thank you! It really made my morning. :) The journey so far has been so steady that some days it feels hard to even imagine what the future will look like. Thank you for reminding me of what all I should look forward to. :D
Loved this video, and your generosity in sharing your journey with us.
I am new to your channel. You really reached me in this video. Can't wait to see others of your videos. Thank you very much.
You are a good teacher. Your voice and delivery is very calming and easy to listen to. 💕🙏🏽
I learn something new from ever video I watch of yours. And equally important, they make me excited to get into the studio. Thank you so much for sharing your skills.
I'm constantly afraid of making bad paintings. This resonated with me a lot. I'm also taking a Keys workshop this year and truly looking forward to it!
Excellent advice for becoming better: not to fear failure, but to enjoy the process. Also to SLOW DOWN, and that will make you actually finish faster. I love a new challenge.
Chelsea, I love your style and the colors you use. I am a beginner and I am really having a difficult time. I feel like I have no direction other than searching videos and plain experimentation. What you do really does seem like magic to me and that it's unachievable. I appreciate your videos. Thanks for posting.
I just came across your channel…I love the painting and even more your thoughts and tips…so enlightening! Thank-you!
THANK YOU CHELSEA
This format is good with the palette. very nice inspiration for my art journey, to shake off my photo perfection mode. 👍
Excellent video - and the key points are straight on. I could relate to all you said regarding mindset - that is exactly what I have been working on adjusting this past week. I've been becoming frustrated, fatigued and doubtful. Now I'm feeling more confident because I'm willing to try new things and fail. It's funny I discovered if I didn't think about how long it was taking I became so much more relaxed too. Thanks!
Excellent capture of key points! I had the pleasure of taking his workshop last November and I learned so much. Color, value, edges are key. Thanks for reinforcing! Your painting is beautiful!!
Thank you so much, Nancy! Yes, it was amazing how much I needed to hear his wisdom even a second time. I was excited to write it down and share it in hopes that I hold onto that wisdom for the future.
Beautiful! Thanks
Great video! I like seeing how you bend the pools of paint in color and value while keeping the color clean. Daniel Keyes is one of my favorites! Schmid being at the very top all time. I did get the chance to take a workshop from Daniel Gerhartz, which was incredible. He seems in line with someone you would probably like. Of course they all know each other. That level of talent finds each other. You are making incredible paintings and great videos. Please keep it up!
Yes! I love Daniel's work -- thank you for sharing. :D And thank you of course for the kind words. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you for watching! I can't wait to share more paintings here on UA-cam. :)
Outstanding video.Pearls of wisdom from a fellow traveler
I love your of painting and follow your words...as you explain slowly...thanks for you work.😘
Excellent advice, Chelsea! And a beautiful painting. Brava!!!
Another very helpful video Chelsea. You are right. Daniel Keys is a master painter. I live in Scottsdale, Arizona and take many classes and workshops at Scotttdale Artists' School and while I have yet to study with Daniel I have taken Kathy Anderson's workshop. When Daniel, Kathy and others are here most Januarys love seeing them and getting together at the end of the day for drinks or a gallery opening. Symi Jackson of Rosemary Paints is also a good friend and we are in touch often. I can honestly say that I find painting flowers harder than any subject but I do adore florals and you have given me some inspiration to buckle down. People and animals are my favorite things to paint. I love landscapes but at this point in my life I am unable to travel with a lot of equipment and the Arizona heat is very limiting for me so I remain a studio painter. I would love to meet you if you are ever in Scottsdale to take a workshop or better yet, teach one.
I love learning. Still a perfectionist a bit. I usually tell myself almost every time I make art that I’m practicing.
True. Stumped? Oh boy! Opportunity. On a good day of course
Excited I found you ! Love your style and pedagogy. 💗
Complimenti 👍
This was just what I needed today. So glad I found your channel!
Wow, so impressive and learned something
Hello! This color is a real refreshment because the colors are much more vivid, happy and natural, unlike the vintage style that you normally use in your paintings.
Maybe you prefer vintage coloring to make pictures, and especially portraits look like they are a hundred years old. Sometimes things need to change ...
Your paint is beautiful!!!
Very lovely painting and very informative
Your painting is beautiful!
Thank you so much! I don't paint flowers that often -- are they a favorite subject of yours?
Very beautiful painting!
So happy / excited I found you. Absolutely love your way of explaining the process . Thank you!,, Just subscribed .
Ma'am it's a pleasure to see you painting 🎨 very beautiful 😊 indeed but difficult for me as i am a beginner only
Fantastic, I need to look him up.
Yes I liked this format and enjoyed your commentary …inspiring Thank you. I have decision paralysis Composition failures Re proportions go out the window

Hi I like the way you presented your palette but I am not a fan of lapse time painting and prefer real time . Your painting is nice and I like to learn more from you. Thank you 🙏
Beautiful
Beautiful......
Thanks a lot 😊
thank you for this!
Thank you for sharing ❤.
so you do more impressionist painting.
When I waste time I am the only one that it bothers, I met Robert Bateman once a famous wildlife artist and he said your either going to be an artist or your not. Your videos send the same message.
Ouah super
Is true, thanks very much,
Do you Putin on damar barniz, on the paint, inmidiatly you finish It?
I can't believe I'm just finding this channel now; UA-cam's algorithms need a lot of help.
I get angry when i paint, but have tons of fun.
That painting was gorgeous...
So, how much drying time before you varnish your paintings? I was taught 6 months before you varnish.
How did you apply a varnish so quickly after finishing your oil painting?
What is the gamvar air gloss-is it refinish gloss that can be used immediately or did you let the painting dry for some time first?
The pallete is made of what material?
Thoroughly enjoy your videos..but wish they weren’t sped up and wish we could follow which colours you were choosing/mixing.
Hi, What is the product you seal your canvas with please?
Thanks

I'm trying to draw human figures and the pelvis is so hard. I take solace when I draw a nice scapula with clavical. It's the little success that keeps me going.
I'm jealous.. ciao .
1.5x the speed- thank me later
You are a great artist but can you put the videos less fast. It is so hard to see and understand well. That is the reason i stop watching your videos.
