"Get your values right"... a great metaphor for life.

So grateful for your generosity. 71-year-old learning from you every day🙏🏻

Mark, I am very impressed with your painting method, and you teach very well also. I just ordered a color checker, palate, and protractor. I am self taught and have painted in the past. You have inspired me to paint again.

You are so easy to listen to, very conversational tone.

Thank you for this. You are one of the greatest resources of painting knowledge on KZfaq.

Thank you Mark! I have been using the white/cad yellow/red/ult blue/burnt umber to mix all my colors. and although I still struggle a little with skin tones, it has really greatly simplified the painting process for me so much! It also really helps solidify in my mind the whole idea of temperature cool/warm and helps me tone back my hues. I think you are an excellent teacher. I have been sharing your youtube with beginners and others looking for good solid instruction.

CONGRATULATIONS MARK! AND A BIG THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR INVALUABLE HELP AND SUPPORT YOU HAVE GIVEN US ARTISTS AND BEGINNERS!

I been watching you for a long time, I am an artist and you inspired me to make art tutorials too! I hope the art community can benefit and learn from my videos like how you inspired others! Love Destiny ❤️❤️

Thanks so much for the video. I continue to watch more as I have a little difficulty with edges. Watching your videos gives me more confidence when painting. Great job!

U really are a modern master, such a good touch and thanks for showing me keevan donahue adore his work too

Thank you for deciding to be this great of an influence with your life. You are a blessing to everyone.

Thank you for this demonstration. I always learn so much from your demos.

Lovely work. You are so easy to watch and listen to, a natural teacher. Very valuable information on returning to a dried painting that is not finished yet, the re-wetting of the last strokes to transition fluidly into the current work. Thank you.

It's a good thing you keep repeating things like if you get the value right .. I've been watching your channel for a while now and your teaching method is fantastic and it finally dawned on me "if you get the value right"... Meaning the lightness/darkness not the actual color.. Thank you! :) I'm learning so much

when you paint you are worshiping God. i admire you as i love watching you painting and your calming voice makes me relax.

Thank for sharing Mark, I always learn something especially your naritive during the painting and words of wisdom!

As always, your painting is simply amazing. I recently just tried your Draw mix paint method and it worked wonderfully. Thank you!

Wish there was a way to contact you on facebook!I followed your method of not blending and using the right values by checking my colors!I entered my artwork into our annual fair and won first place!All thanks to you!I graduated from Winsor and Newton to Gamblin 1980 oil paint but agter I got the results i was looking for,I will invest in your brand!Thank you so much for being an inspiration to thousands of viewers!YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE WORK!

Your video demonstrations are incredibly helpful. Thank you.

Another great video as always! Thank you for all the knowledge Mark.

Thanks for sharing knowledge! Values, painting in abstract way etc. Wonderful feed back from you to remember all the time we paint.

I really love to watch your demonstration - they are inspiring and very informative - and your way of dealing with texture and colour nuances are so beautiful. Anybody can learn a lot from watching also when they are not a realistic painter

I love watching you and I started back to oil painting I really enjoy it so much more using ur technique

I love this! I will give this a try. Wonderful instruction! Thank you!

Excellent. A painting video after a long time!

I always look forward to the next video because I learn something that moves me forward a little bitsy bit each time. I've stopped going to classes (which are 'taught' by artists who don't really teach) . You I can trust. Thank you. Thank you.

Always a delight to watch a virtuoso at work.

Love your videos,you're so knowledgable,and have helped me so much.👍👍👍

Thank you very much it is always educational and inspiring thanks again 😀👍

Thank you so much, your videos has helped me ALOT ❤️ Much appreciated

Amazing work , I really love it

I thoroughly enjoy your videos, thank you.

Your videos are so therapeutic.

thank you Mark, for your oil painting and demonstration :)

I never fail to learn something from your videos...

Love your videos and your work!!! Thank you!

I really enjoy to watch your painting process and it became very clear to me this time I watched you how beautifull and important the abstraction is. - thats for me what make it a very beautifull and interesting painting - and I also admired the beautifull creamy quality of your oil paint and how you manage to make it fluid and yet with the texture of the brushwork - just so beautifull

Thanks so much. I learn so a lot with you. Greets from México, master.

Seeing you paint is very satisfying.

I'm beyond inspired!

Thank you..... this is very beautiful.

This is sooo beautiful

Très belle réalisation. Les fondus sont remarquables !

Thanks, I appreciate your quidance very much.

Mixing just seventeen colors to start with is a real time saver! :)

can you share your first paintings and your progress through the years? i think that would be so interesting! please

I love your tenebrism still lifes.

Pretty nice work. I really miss seeing you painting. Thanks Mark. By the way we never saw the soldier you were painting.

Your video helps me a lot. Thank you~!!!

Thanks Mark!!!

I can’t believe he didn’t paint the pear freckles, I would have never noticed my mind is blown.

¡Me gusta tu estilo de pintura en bodegones y te deseo buena suerte!

So you were painting on a dry painting and you just started painting over it, no oiling over it or anything, I was confused about how to restart on a painting that was dry. your pairs are awesome just said WOW when I saw them finished. Thanks again

Great job

Superb method

Thank you for the excellent video. Do you use any particular type of light bulb for your studio? From my experience with object photography I learned the hard way that lighting in a light box makes all the difference. I think a video on studio lighting would be very useful.

Really interesting method. The proof "painting ugly" is in the result. Very nice.

Beautiful....

Invaluable

Hi Mark, Thank you for the video. I'm wondering about your various greens. Are they all made from many different combos of blue and green?

This is beautiful

Thank you so much for your inspirations & sharing with us. do you ship orders to Alberta Canada ? Max Casavant . from Edmonton Alberta.

mr carder please do a demo video on how to make clouds rocks trees and rugged landscapes.

I actually thought the two pictures were the same painting. But yes, I imagine the pair speckles are conveyed by the distortion brushwork in the demo.

انت فعلا فنان راقي تحياتي

Thank u for all your used videos. I want an explanation or tutorial about water reflection. I can't understand which color I have to use when I am painting water or the reflection of things on it. So if u can explain to me in tutorial I ll be thankful.

How would you approach your paintings using acrylics? I'm attempting to use your methods to paint a pear (acrylics fit my budget) and doing my best to mix enough color in one sitting without wasting paint.

I'm fascinated by your limited colour palate combination, could you please tell me which brown you use for mixing dark ??

Merci

Maybe it's not your speciality but could you give any guidance on painting ocean waves please?

Too many times I've tried to make a copy of the photograph. Missed the point. Thanks for repurposing me.

Your channel showed up on my list a few months ago and I have been making my way through the play list of how-to. The more I do this the more I see, just because I want to paint in oil and in color, I can't just watch videos. I am fairly accomplished with black and grey in graphite and paper and with a med bic black pen. These things are helpful but do not translate even to acrylic paint. What is the big test?? Am I not getting it or am I not giving it enough time. will acrylic practice in this method transfer to oil?? Have I not gotten that far in the lessons?

You're great. But I wish you would tell us what colors you use.

I paint three of a kind

The thing that bothers me about not blending is that some artist paintings end up looking like a paint-by-number.

عالی بود

shoutout to all the pear

Pallets show sold out on website. 😒

Three of a kind beats two pears...
