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.

Thank you for the fur video coverage. I actually did a wolf and had a few of these instances come up...example, the soft fur on the edges making it seem more natural, and the play of light on fur and how the color is affected, etc. Inspired to redo the wolf I painted using the tips you mentioned! :)

Thank you SO MUCH for the color isolating tip. I have watched so many tutorials and seeing people just randomly choosing blue or purple or what have you to add into their white and could never figure out how they knew to choose it. This makes so much sense and is such an easy way to know I'm going for the right colors. Thanks again!

Well done. I like how you explain your way of painting in values and in thick brush strokes instead of individual hairs and you show the difference. Both ways of painting are nice but are different. I prefer your way better.

This is the video I was hoping you’d make. I don’t know how to paint, but I started painting a picture of my mom’s dog. She has log white fur. At first, I was trying to make it look like her dog Misty, then I watched one of your videos where you talked about adding paint and not being afraid to do it, so I did. Now the painting looks like a cartoon of a dog. I like it though! I love your videos! I look forward to each new technique you show us.

Love the painting, and your dog! Helpful tips. I was wondering if sometime you could talk and demonstrate painting shadows, especially in portraits. I seem to struggle with the coloring, and depth of color when painting from a photograph. I have one where the shadows looks almost black on one side of the face, or in the eye area, but when I paint it as dark as it seems in the photo, it looks way too harsh, but if I lighten it, it doesn't look right either. Same with dark shadows under the lip and under the chin. Help! Ha ha Thanks!

Hi Chris, your vids have been incredibly useful in my first year of painting. Really happy I found you. Looking forward to the course. My question is that I’ve been buying canvas prints from the charity shop from £1-£3, putting 3 coats of gesso on and feeling pretty pleased with my save. Down the road will I get nasty surprises? It’s more for the family gift paintings they’ve got quite attached too 🧐

HI, i've been watching your vidoe for a couple of times so i can really grab the way to do the fur but what would be great is to see once you've put the first colored coat , what is the color you used to make the finishing touch ( last top coat) do you use white mixed to it's lightess value. I'm not sure i understand the last coat. Sorry for my english

What is your method of transferring an image to canvas? And WTF is up with our STEELERS? Bills showed them how to catch a Roethlisberger throw...not funny

@paintcoach 3 жыл бұрын

I draw on my image in many different ways. Sometimes with paint. Sometimes I use transfer paper if I’m doing a tutorial like this. The Steelers need to get it together. I hate to say it but I feel Ben is the biggest problem. They designed the whole offense around keeping him from getting hit with the quick passes.
