I have infinite love for you for offering this education for free. I put 8 years into college and have learned more comprehensive & fundamental information through this channel than I did there. In part because you truly want to teach us something and not cash in on young students' debt. I had professors who didn't want to "deal with me" because they didn't like my content style and wanted me to change majors. This channel has taken my art to places I didn't fully think myself possible of because the professionals I was learning from didn't seem to have faith in my work. From the depths of my heart, *thank you.* As someone who came from BFK Ohio, I didn't have access to learning techniques, pretty well self-taught and that only got me so far. I had a hand full of professors I knew would help me learn, but the ones I needed to have my back didn't. What you do may not seem important to some, but it is honestly a much-needed resource that is incredulously lacking in the art world (#dontgatekeepart). I wish you and this channel the best, take care!!

So far this seems to be a very good and nice channel I highly recommend. Nice guy giving good and honest advice in a pedagogical and efficient matter. Many other channels are too commercial, babble about irrelevant things, wasting your time, clickbating, not giving advice efficiently and on what you want to hear. Keep up the good work! 🙂

I love this so much. I still struggle to understand 'form' in art class, like the bit in my head that comprehends 3d is busted. But learning about value shapes really helped my artwork to look more believable. I look forward to trying out some of these exercises.

Some of the most helpful things for me has been to copy paintings of painters I want to paint more like. Copied edgar payne and it was very very helpful. Also with a very limited palette. Prussian blue + red iron oxide / yellow ochre + ultramarine + burnt sienna etc. the best paintings very very very often only has two main colours. Analagous colour scheme. Like yellows and oranges together with muted blues or opposite.

Chris I love all your videos and learn a lot from the different method you use. What is the main difference between zinc White and titanium white. Or is this just a preference.
@DietDrPepper578775 ай бұрын
From what I've been told from Google (I've only ever used titanium white) it said zinc white is more transparent and titanium white is an opaque white

I actually draw with black and white acrylics. Helps to eliminate wrist pain for me at least. It's also much faster than pencil.

As for exercise 8, should we usethin or thick paint ? How much thin or thick?. Please advise. In Macpherson's book it is written painting is recreated from juicy paint ( page 70 I guess). Perhaps my English is not good enough and could not understand him. Thanks a lot.

Hey Coach. I have a question. I have a landscape picture with me and I wanted to paint something from life. So would it be possible for you to paint that. I really wanted to see your approach and perspective on it. If you are up for it then I ll send it over. Cheers!! Your videos are great!!

Hey can anybody answer why he always chooses burnt umber in the beginning for all his paintings, why not some other colour??
@ilonalitomska77544 ай бұрын
I think because it's dark colour, so with white you can make full spectrum of values. You could use black as well or anything else, but burnt umber gives neutral vibe. And propably burnt umber was really cheap pigment back in the old master's times, so they used it and many painters do it as well now. Those are only my gueses tho 😊
@riyabongirwar24784 ай бұрын
Thanks
@averagegecko5064Ай бұрын
It’s sort of an old painters tradition to under paint in natural earth tones (burnt umber or sienna) because way back in the day they where lots cheaper. it’s a good way to block in values because it’s warm and natural so when/if it peaks through the painting it doesn’t look as unnnatural as a blue or black or vibrant color would
