Change the way you think about painting trees

[@c.philipmckenzie]

Chris is such a blessing; he has the knowledge and talent but also knows how to teach: a rare combination.

[@lisakunish936]

This is a terrific video and I can relate to all the beginner mistakes you talked about. I live in New Hampshire and very much want to paint the beautiful trees around me, yet am typically frustrated that I can’t convey what I see. I really appreciate your comment about how photos just cannot capture the beauty; so very true! Thank you !

[@kkriseidraws]

you became one of the youtube instructors that I truly admire, I'm so picky on who I follow as it can change how I see things. I really REALLY enjoy every videos- short and informative! thank you, coach!

[@kkriseidraws]

working on a new piece too now, and it happens that I'm about to paint background trees :DD

[@gabigold3387]

Who else do you follow for painting and drawing?

[@kkriseidraws]

@@gabigold3387 aside from paint coach, Jared Cullum, Teoh Yi Chie, HamRib Art, John Larriva, Café Watercolor, Chelsea Lang, Proko, Angel Ganev, Humid Peach (and more that i forgot their names) they're all here on youtube. there are some on Instagram but my followings are flooded so I can't list them down, sorry.

You're a great art teacher. Amazing at making painting seem less intimidating and at encouraging us to actually sit down and paint. You give us much more useful information for free than my teachers ever have at a paid course. Though I don't actually oil paint and use your tips for painting with other media, especially acrylic paint which is somewhat similar. I've only tried oil painting over a decade ago, in middle school art club, once or twice. I didn't really appreciate the process or the results as I mostly remember the unpleasant smell of turpentine and how hard the brushes were to clean. But now I'd love to try again, hopefully someday I will. This video helped me paint my first landscape in a while and the trees in the background turned out really good thanks to you.

I always do a happy dance every time you post a video!

[@Sillydally14]

Thanks for the tips! I’m new to painting but I know I love it, and I love learning about it. Trees make me want to walk away from my painting every time haha! I enjoy your videos 👍🏼 short and sweet but all the information I want and enjoyable to watch.

[@theresadailey5809]

Yes I enjoyed your video, and thank you for talking clearly, I have hearing impairment issues, and I can easily understand what you are saying, with or without earbuds. 👏👏👏

[@robertweinblatt2018]

I’m a pastelist but I do kind of paint in a similar way! Love your instruction as well as the flow you develop

[@40bdg]

Thanks Chris! Trees are a struggle for me, but I am slowly improving. You've shared some helpful tips that I will definitely employ going forward.

[@toddswartartist6917]

Nice video. I painted many horrible trees before I finally grasped the principle of painting big, simple shapes

[@kathryngintherstein3449]

Excellent video! I loved how you pointed out mistakes which I do and I had to laugh. I sit down to paint and I try to incorporate what you recommend and it just doesn’t happen and turns into a mess. I am a self taught beginner and I am frustrated because I am trying to take my painting to the next level beyond just filling in colors. My brain feels stuck. I am amazed at how you see shapes so easily and then know the correct color to put down and it seems to come together so well. Simplifying a photo and making a painting interesting is amazing. I am not sure how to practice to start making the process click in my brain. Thank you for your well done videos!

[@annfoster1980]

Thanks Chris, this video will help me a lot. I struggle with trees, and just recieved your brush set from Rosemary & Co, so no more excuses.

Excellent work

[@imafreakinninja12]

I actually am going to redo one of my earliest pieces for a 2 year anniversary for when I started doing art, and there are going to be trees in it, so I find the timing kinda funny..

[@paintcoach]

Perfect!

[@BlancaVarguesArt]

Very beautiful painting!!

Every utube from Chris are just Gold, they are short, precise and clear! I wonder does the the technic mentioned in this video also applicable in painting a vase Of flowers? Thank you so much for the advent-grade video 😍

[@kevinyang5559]

How about masses of leafless trees with a spider web of branches that in photo is mostly silhouetted? On a small 8x8 canvas I can't get the the impression of this form right, I can't seem to get the hair width suggestion of these branches in the distance.

[@codiuart]

Thank you for your sharing, thanks to your video I know more information about drawing trees. I think videos like this will help a newbie like me to have a lot of interesting knowledge, thank you very much.

[@paintcoach]

I’m glad you like the videos!

[@codiuart]

@@paintcoach yep

[@edwardpittar648]

Great video and superb painting! I particularly loved that blue you mixed at 6:55 How did you mix that?

[@elizabethhunt5536]

Think this possibly Cerulean blue (from tube), which suddenly appeared on the palette, but Chris could maybe confirm.....

[@Jayman911x]

great video! Thank you.

[@danielgwillym9339]

Second 😆 Look forward to another inspirational video

[@RT-wl6tq]

I have a problem with detail. If my tree's have a little more detail , my grass has to match and vice-versa. I find that to be an issue because now everything including my focal point gets out of control and i lose the painting..the struggle is real

[@yurshapkhakadze41]

Can i do that with acrylics?

[@mrzoozilla971]

This is spoony if he never broke bad

[@Rainyy711]

i consider loose painting better than tight

Any comments about eyesight disability (glaucoma). A lesson, Chris?? Could be meaningful for those with good eyesight, too. Thank you!

[@henriquejanuario881]

Thanks for the tips! Do you have experience with water based oil paint? Do you ever try plein air painting with them? Thanks for any help!

[@vavoo04]

I'm pretty sure he has a paint talk video where he goes over the pros and cons of water based oil paints

[@danielgwillym9339]

is it best to do the two courses with the drawing and painting courses? Nearly got all my materials ready to start

[@paintcoach]

Yes! The work well together and are a great place to start!

[@danielgwillym9339]

@@paintcoach Thank you, I've watched so many of your videos, now to actually start!

[@danielgwillym9339]

@@paintcoach handy really, as drawing is one my concerns, I.e. how good I am, will I improve etc Breaking down into big shapes is great advice, makes it manageable.

First!❤❤❤

[@viveviveka2651]

I'd like to see you wearing lighter colors. They have better atmospheres and effects.

[@turquoise770]

uh,...at 07:10 where you just drink from that can - I mean if you're going to splice in a second or two of a seemingly unrelated action - could you instead call a "time out" first, and then imbibe (a time out clock at the bottom of the screen would be nice - I guess you could throw a flag then call a time out)...sorry, but just like in painting, I'm looking for a little more continuity of theme in your "moving" picture as well (videos). Thank you paint coach in advance for understanding how jarring the discontinuity can be for some of your more sensitive viewers (I think I might have to get a service cat). I'm going out to paint one for the gipper right now.
