Excellent video! Thanks for narrating the entire thing in real time instead of speeding it up and playing bad music over it like many other artists do! Thank you for contributing so much of your knowledge and experience to us for free!

[@YuvakTuladhar]

Your emphasis on values took out mystery out of painting. I am still struggling but to my amazement, when I started paying attention to values the likeness of the persons face appear even before I put any details! Thanks for sharing!

[@robinaart72]

been binge listening to your videos this morning whilst painting - it's been uncanny how many times you were saying something at the exact time I was making that same mistake - really - so funny . But - hugely grateful to your advice - I feel like I've made a huge step forward in both my perception and technique. Thanks v indeed for sharing your knowledge.

[@Vitarusvita]

Love your abstract approach in painting, and your speech is a joy to listen to... Thank you very much for continue posting your videos!

[@ronschlorff7089]

Love this! Nothing better than to paint metal colors on a container in still life work. Only thing better is to hear someone say: "Gee, who makes that great looking silver or copper paint"!! :D

[@DAVADMDAVAD]

Thank you so much, Mark. I aspire to paint like you. You are an inspiration to a 51 year old filmmaker. Thank you. You make an old can look like the girl with the pearl earring....kinda. ;)

[@patriciozazzini3182]

impressive artist and fabulous paint as well.I will start painting soon I am gathering my equipment and will order the basic paints from them.wish me success

[@cyork1288]

I have been watching and learning from you for years. After years and this video I think I understand. Less than a Sunday painter but now that I am retired I think your wet on wet will get me where I want to be. Thank you for being you.

[@anitadavis5430]

Once again your voice over is so valuable. Your explanations are what it's all about, the lessons you've learned, the reasons why, the various pieces of the decisions you are making as you go along. thanks .

[@TorchwoodLuthiers]

Pretty excited to watch this! Thanks for this my good man!

[@edagharachadaghi1586]

I am learning so much by watching your videos. I specifically love this oil painting demo. Thank you so much!!!

[@julieannemuir8952]

most I've learnt from a video tutorial in a long time...thankyou!

[@1974gladiateur]

It is amazing to see how good it looks at the end from a distance, and during the process you are wandering if Mark is making is first mistake. But no, it's amazing how everything develop. Wow another amazing painting from the Master.

[@kamlikachandlafineart]

Thank you for such a detailed and sincere video. Such reiteration and new insight is much appreciated. A big thanks. Regards 🙏🏻

[@selftrue670]

What an incredible instructor----nothing superfluous--everything you said adds knowledge and therefore value. Thank you very much.

[@vawschnier5146]

Nice videos, nice narration, very pleasing to watch!

[@aninditaroy5340]

I love all your videos.. Very high Standard and rich content.. Thank you so much for sharing you expertise

[@gagarius]

You are trully amazing!!!! I hope I'll build the dedication to paint like that.

[@lauraven1979]

The way you teach and all your videos are great They have helped me a lot to continue painting and not loosing confidence while I work Thank you Mark All episodes are so clear and easy to understand and the most useful is the the one with the colour wheel And the episode 7 painting ugly and many others Keep going

[@barbararamsay1926]

Very motivating and highly educative. Thank you Mark.

[@iremmuzeyyenpeker7227]

I love your voice so relaxing

[@1974gladiateur]

I found it relaxing too. I play his videos when I paint so I can relax. I feel he is in the room and teaching me at the same time.

[@abourg]

I was going to say the same thing lol , was watching before I go to bed and was falling asleep, but yet at same time was learning a lot, he is truly amazing

[@chloeg4920]

Same here! I was both frustrated because I wanted to learn more and stay awake, and very, very relaxed. And then I just embraced the sleep because, you know.

[@ThewellbeingCompany]

Me too. Please narrate audio books.

[@losangulos]

Im always on the lookout for videos with people talking that sound like they are half sleep. It's fun: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l33NfXWEotqCb8U

[@judemcintyre7488]

Thank you for sharing your valuable Art experiences.

[@ksuhuh]

Dear Mark, thanks for your awesome videos! Your method is something that helped me overcome so many issues that kept me from having fun when painting. I ran into some difficulty when painting sight-size from life without a colorchecker. I was just using a palette knife or a paint covered brush in north facing skylight. if it looked the exact same on my palette knife (at a similar angle as a colorchecker) when I held it up to my model, things looked exactly right, but as soon as I started painting, it was way off and the values didn't match up at all. I also noticed that when I just use regular tube paint, if a mixture contains white, as soon as you thin down your paint with medium, the white pops up the value almost half a step. What the people that instructed me told me was to make a small color study in 45 minutes and mix the main large color masses by putting eyeballed mixtures on the study canvas and start fixing those piles when every color is on there to see it in relation to each other. I ended up doing several of those and spending a lot more time on it than I wanted to. Do you have any tips or easier solutions to this issue, or is the only solution to stick to isolating color with a black ring around it? Best regards, Rutger

[@halibut1249]

Great vid, very informative. Your points are spot on, for example using a bristle brush for detail and keeping the lines loose and slightly abstract for painterly effect, and rendering form so it looks correct from a distance but not necessarily close-in (the Sargent look) though alot easier said than done.

[@rickhargett2803]

First time I ever heard the phrase " painting is a series of mistakes" or " you break it and fix it, over and over, till it's right" Her name was Helen Van Wyke.

[@robbiej2070]

Bthanks again Mark - love the painting

[@wolleysat1008]

more of these please!

[@ASMRROLEPLAY]

Спасибо за вашу работу))) мне очень понравилось))

[@exploringwithdave5926]

You are an amazing painter. I tried ths painting and failed miserably. It is so expensive to do this. I cannot seem to get my water mixable oils to flow as nicely as yours, and it seems as if my brushes are too stiff. I think I need to take a class somewhere from someone that knows what they are doing. I could spend a fortune on this trying to figure it out, and have limited resources. The years of experience that you have shows in your work, and in the way that you teach it. I did make a color checker and stand. I think it will take me a while to really understand color and how to mix it, and I suspect that took you years of experience as well. You have worked hard to get where you are, i would not say it is a gift, because that discounts all the hard work and effort that you have invested into this art. I applaud you for sharing with us, and that your insights are so valuable for people like me. I would quit so easily in the past. Even today I got frustrated with my really weak ability and tossed my attempt into the garbage in disgust. I wanted to just quit that moment for good. However, I know I will pull it all out again and start over with a fresh mind and a willingness to learn more. Your talent is wonderful to see. Kindly, David

[@nickfanzo]

David Boyanich how are you checking your colors?

[@JB007SEXY]

Brilliant tutorial Mark, Thanks...;-)

[@carlosbermudezartist3690]

Beautiful 😍

[@artewaltergarcia3568]

Gracias maestro

[@Flux_One]

Hi Mark. What a great demo. Thanks for sharing. Will you ever record yourself painting a self portrait from life?

[@Naruto-vi6jv]

Super nice video

[@nirmalan5590]

I think John Singer Sargent painted with a palette knife .Those wonderfully bold ,loose strokes are beyond the explanation of using brushes alone.

[@AndyHargraveMusic]

awesome

[@jeghedderhenrik]

i love this videos, even i been painting since 1996, i feel very educatede, thanks question which colours do you use in this video, burnt umbra, which blue yellow and red and blue ??

[@PHeMoX]

I fully agree on the abstraction. It looks much more interesting in this rougher way and it will read excellently from a distance, which is how most art will be seen on a wall anyway. Interesting comment on true full black as well. I hear a lot of artists prefer not to use their darkest black (or use a substitute darkest dark). I never quite understood that fear (?), because why settle for a value range going from 3 to 8 on a scale of 10, instead of 1 to 10 and get full range of values? In case of this particular still-life I guess the black background demands a strong color, but I see you use it within the shadow as well. I'm going to have to experiment with that. :)

[@user-zf4kj6ko7v]

Прекрасно Волшебно Спасибо

[@elrusocadena9759]

Your voice perfect your job biutiful

[@jitdey330]

Hello Sir, I came by your videos a month ago and helped me a lot in understanding the basics of oil painting. Thank you for that. But I was wondering if Geneva oil colors will be shipped to India.

[@Flux_One]

Hi Mark. I'm not sure if this has been asked before but I see that you don't mix or premix your colours with a palette knife. Instead you favour the brush. Why is that?

[@veresannamaria4584]

Great!

[@williambusby146]

have you thought of a time that you will have that speed painting video available?

[@elisabeth942]

Mark I love to listen to all your video. I work with values also while drawing and while painting. But I have a question : your oil on the palet seems wet. Which medium do you use to make it so wet?

[@pavelsokov]

Hey, you say you don't support putting in any highlights and like to go from dark to light. What do you think of Richard Schmid's philosophy of putting the most obvious and easy to judge values and colors and edges down first, and then working in between them? I personally put the darkest darks, and dab the lightest light somewhere as well, I find it helps establish my boundaries as far as value and temperature, and makes perfect sense to my brain

[@1974gladiateur]

Everyone his own technique. From there you choose the one you like.

[@HeliPadUSA]

Can you tell me what video editing software you use to make your videos? You seem to be able to do so much - I'm only familiar with the extremely limited KZbin editor. If I'm gonna spring $ for software I might as well get something I enjoy watching as your videos are great.

[@Lsalvatore]

May be unrelated but he has an advanced photography guide where he recommends the Olympus OM-D E-M10 for his camera. I wonder if he uses that for video.

[@jamest4189]

Can we see more of your own work Mark? Can you tell us about how you got the job painting the president and how that experience was? I'd like to know about how it was dealing with clients and would be interested in hearing any interesting stories you have about them.. I could ask a million questions... Have u ever painted a billionaire?

[@lisaburt7118]

I know you emphasize painting from dark to light, but you also emphasize painting in some background around whatever object you're painting. What if your background is white--or nearly white? Would Your rules still apply?

[@akankhyakalita4908]

i think so! The object relise on the atmosphere, and without it you can't really get everything closely right

[@OwliSketches]

what should I look for when setting up a good composition to paint?

[@sadiqmusawi688]

Thank u 😍

[@stoyan4557]

The nowadays Vermeer!

[@jeffbond5483]

I like the little painting you did here. During this video you referred to your website and your portrait paintings. Are you saying you painted those as you did here, freehand and from life?

[@nickfanzo]

Jeff Bond he is a professional portrait painter

[@mariaserefinatribunella419]

good job!....very realistic!....but the photo is even more realistic!!.....i would like to know where is the art !...i see great ability...i dont see your soul in it.....I see a kind of scientist in the laboratory.....dont be mad at me!....i love ART

[@lonnieandtashamcfarland8246]

Can you talk some about shipping one's work to buyers? I've seen in movies where the canvas is taken off the wood and the canvas is rolled up, can this be done to a oil painting or is it always shipped on it's frame?

[@internetapocalypse4885]

Do you plan to ship Geneva oil colors to Australia?

[@levisenz9088]

If only there was a video I could watch that explains mixing colors..

[@dairmonet9657]

the quality of the paint seems good to me in terms of brightness and the color without envargo I feel that the paint mass expands too much it lacks stiffness to withstand the coatings of the brush when one takes a little paint expands so much that it is lost in a flat plaster as if it were enamel paint for metal doors, I feel that it is not optimal to give thick pastes in first intention

[@cccc11583]

Thanks

[@jonder67]

Why not use a grid for the drawing? Not specifically for this but generally like in the poodle you painted for example. Just curious.

[@ahmedhumayunrasheed2434]

Mark I think your silver container was more long horizontally more huge originally

[@t.bunker2511]

As an Architect, I often refer to an architectural rendering - especially for a public meeting or display - as a 5-ft rendering or a 10 or even 25-ft rendering. Thinking that-way really influenced the level of detail and even the color-values. Too-much fiddlieness actually detracts when viewed from a distance.

[@wolleysat1008]

anyone noticed on the right there's Darth Vader on 14:33?

[@loganbarnes5775]

Haha nice catch.

[@ronschlorff7089]

Pareidolia much?

[@Jon_Oates]

Mark, in this painting you used one or maybe two brushes, whereas I notice that in your earlier video 'How to paint in oil' (the pewter mug), you had a fistful of about 10 brushes. Why did you use so many. Were they for different colour groups or some other reason? Thanks.

[@frankblangeard8865]

What he teaches and what he practices are two different things altogether.

[@didierleprince6106]

Merci

[@patriciozazzini3182]

I have a question, I noticed The painter doesn't respond questions here, but Can I draw the whole sketch prior to paint on the canvas with a water based pencil or the yellow stabilo he used in other videos?

[@obie2082]

what's the palette? what are the colors you're using?

[@enjoiorange]

What happened to the jar of oil videos ?

[@tod7977]

What are you referring to when you say "use a colour checker" ... What is a colour checker? I'll scour your videos again for a description.

[@Pops2]

Watch Mark's video of him painting a silver cup. I believe he uses his color checker in that video. Also Mark has some really nice tools (including a color checker) for painting available on his website. Mark's items are of high quality and design. Mark probably could have been a furniture maker. He's a multi talented guy.

[@oksaubercool]

I think you hold back too much if it comes to the light spots. Yes, we all know its not a good idea to use too much white but I think you should really hype the contrast more.

[@MusicOrchestration]

Mark paints realism. He's painting the exact tones from life. Hyped contrast would look amateur and unrealistic. 1st and most often seen amateur mistake - over done contrast!

[@oksaubercool]

Theres a big difference then between what he saw and what the camera caught. Just look at the finished piece of his and the reference photo. The value contrast in the reference is clearly higher. I'm not saying you should overdo but why would underdo instead? This is not meant offensive however, just frankly speaking my mind.

[@nickfanzo]

Oksaubercool when you paint realism you dont push contrast to the point of matching your reference. it ruins the painting. try it yourself.

[@pastuh]

0:53 lol

[@afaf233]

yes i like what you did...your values have improved a lot.....but some work still needs to be done on the shadows.....

[@vexguine]

He asks 75.000 for a single portrait, has painted 2 U.S presidents, have lines of students wanting to learn with him and even have his own brand of paint... You say like you have something to teach him.... ¬¬ ... "you have improved a lot" lol..... he may have brushes older than you buddy.

[@noshitsherlock4375]

I don't have much time to watch the full videos, can anyone describe the purpose or differences between using wet on wet and wet on dry?
