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.

In college for my painting class, we had to go out and find a long stick. When we came back, we were told to tape one end to the end of our paintbrush and then paint. We painted about 99% of our painting this way and were told to stop and fill in the smaller details with a smaller brush close up and only had about a minute to do so before going back to the sticked brush. This helped us to learn to stand back as well as be more careful about where to put the right values. We were also taught that if we have a hard time painting/drawing something, instead of avoiding it, then to paint only just that until we ‘master’ it. Hands were a good example of that. So instead of doing a painting of someone’s hands out of the way to avoid them, make sure they’re the center of the painting or paint a painting of only just hands. Painting/drawing what you see instead of painting/drawing what you THINK you see helps drastically here and it’s important to understand the difference between the two! Once you ‘master’ this new way of seeing, the better off you’ll be because then you can paint/draw anything!

So interesting, particularly the last remark - I've been bingeing art videos (especially this channel!) and SEEING properly - developing a way of looking at the world directly instead of through a ''screen'' of thoughts - this notion keep coming up again and again! And the way you say that one can paint/draw anything if one simply learns to look and observe... It's fundamental! Thank you for sharing, that's such a clever tip to use a stick to extend the length of the brush! Happy painting :)

I started watercolor painting a few years ago and just started oil painting. The concepts are reversed and it really challenges me (very therapeutic though), my biggest issue so far is “putting enough paint on my palette.” I am so frugal with my paints that it makes some things so much more difficult than it is. All of your tips will help me, but mostly that one. Thank you.

I don't know if this will interest you, but I've started using Dorlans Wax Medium. It's very cheap and you can mix it with oils. I've loved using it - it gives me the ability to basically double the amount of paint I'm using, but it costs less than a tiny tube of paint. It's also really fun for textural effects. I feel like it helps my paint dry a little faster when I apply the paint thick, too. Plus, I use it to seal my gouache paintings when I'm done with them.

1. Drawing: Use center lines to help make an accurate drawing 2. Underpainting: block in and map the darkest darks and lightest lights 3. Blocking: Err on the darker side of the value because it's easier to build on 4. Step Back often from your Canvas about 6ft 5. Remove dark umber and black from palette if paintings aren't vibrant enough 6. Use natural daylight lighting or equivalent bulb 7. Phones are too small to use as reference 8. Keep your subject matter the same until you get a general understanding 9. Don't think of gray as a color but a "greyed down color" 10. Put more paint on your palette so that there's a good enough amount on the canvas

I loveeeee tip #8! I recently started doing that (was getting really frustrated with water that washes up on shore and trying to understand the translucence of it while still having form), and it actually really works to just keep going through the difficult moment. I realized I was seeing it with how my mind gives meaning to it rather than what I was actually seeing. I turned the painting upside down and just worked on what I saw, and it was a major break through! I finally got water washing up on shore to look like water washing up on shore!

Another thing that can help, towards the end of painting, is to hold the painting in the mirror. Any errors in composition and proportion will leap out at you. I don't do abstracts so not sure if it would work for those but it works well for landscapes and really well for human and animal subjects

I flipped the upper clamp on my easel (not sure what it is called if it even has a name - the part that slides down and clamps down on top of the canvas to hold it) so that the tablet could fit on it and made a second clamp to slide down and hold the tablet in place. Now I can have whatever reference I am working from, whether photo or video, just inches above the canvas that I am painting.

A cool idea for if you only have a phone too copy off of. Do the mangaka technice where you create a smaller image in a corner of your page that matches the phone size. Then it should be as easy as taking your smaller version and doing the same strokes on a larger scale. It seems tough when I write it down, but it is actually really helpful for composition and control of what you are drawing out in the first place.
