How to Paint Reflective Surfaces - Painting Demo

[@willowrunningwater7939]

Mark, you are amazing. You are giving the best advice possible to other painters. Good for you. I'm a professional painter and have made a good living for years. Never have I seen such honesty and good info given out, the way you do. You are truly an artist in every way. Helen

[@larrywakeman4371]

An artist does NOT mix globs of paint up into the ferrule, that is just not done; also, you hold the brush like a pen, not high up at the top, that gives you no control!

[@VAPIDISM]

@@larrywakeman4371 Take a deep breath Larry and just allow that realisation that not everyone works the same way you think they should to sink in.

[@kommi1974]

@@larrywakeman4371 Let's see your work, Larry. Yeah, throw some more stones. Idiot. Mark is a master at his craft. You're a keyboard troll.

[@Zawadzke]

@@larrywakeman4371 Sorry, but what? Many artists throughout history were (and still probably are) painting with 10+ feet long brushes. Oddly enough there are no recorded complaints of a lack of control from those masters.

I cant tell you how much I appreciate these videos!

[@scotts6702]

Hello Mark. I’ve been an amateur artist for years and I’ve only just recently tried to start oil painting. Your videos have literally changed my life with regards to this pursuit. I know that sounds overly dramatic but I had serious retina issues that left me blind a couple years ago and never thought I’d ever see again let alone paint. Still very much an amateur but love these videos, the information, and the inspiration. Ill stop this embarrassing gushing now, lol. just wanted to say thanks

[@evelyndolan1119]

Hi, Scott S,...That's great. I know, I love his videos! Good for you! How did you see again? Spring

[@scotts6702]

Evelyn Dolan ty. 11 invasive eye surgeries over a 9 month period, ending with cataract procedures in both eyes. Long story but 5 months of that I was clinically blind. I still see like I am under water do to all the damage but so thankful I can see at all. 🙏👍🏻

[@evelyndolan1119]

@@scotts6702 Will your eyesight improve? I hope it does! The body is amazing. I'm so glad you can see at all, too !

[@pavanpatel4590]

You should do more painting demos! It really helps show the concepts you talk about

[@sooth15]

Thanks so much for another beautiful painting, and tutorial. It's pretty amazing that 90% of the vase is greys, browns, and muddy colours, and there's just a hint of gold/orange near the end.

[@gopinathannottath]

A born artist with lot of dedication and with a good heart ❤️ to show others the the way you traveling in detail. Great artists have a great heart too. So beautifully explained. No any music disturbance too. Thanks

[@amysbees6686]

GREAT DEMO! Fantastic lesson! "Seeing" anything as merely light and shadow is much more challenging than it sounds. You showed us all how perfectly! Thank you!

[@nickfanzo]

These videos have always been gold. Thanks for making more.

[@jtpaar1732]

I could watch you paint all day long! Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!

[@TheJhaley12]

Absolutely amazing. I loved watching the simplicity of how this painting came to be yet was well aware of the difficulty in getting things right.

[@anitathompson5828]

I was just going through all of your paintings and I am absolute awe of your work! I am grateful for all that you share with us! Thank you!

[@poliwilliams6138]

I have been painting in watercolor but now I want to paint in oil. I feel so lucky because I found your videos, you are amazing!!!! Thank you for doing this. I am following your videos to learn the basis and then I will more classes with you

[@Michelle-q4t]

I love the juiciness of your paints. And the brush dip is great it smells like cloves, very nice.

[@lucianphipps5430]

Thanks. I'm just starting out and am painting a coffee pot. This has been a very useful tutorial. Best wishes Lucian

[@saffyshubobo8180]

Thank you so much for taking the time out to make this video !! I love your painting demos, so beautiful

[@artintelligence4973]

Beautiful burial golden jar. Amazing painting work.

[@soulkalastudio]

Great video, I like the to leave a few aspects painterly because I feel it makes the painting lively, I also like seeing the brushstroke on the background and not have it completely blended.

[@mwaangling103]

I'm going to try my first still life today. Thanks your explanations give me confidence to try.

[@margaritahope4604]

Beautiful vase! Amazing you are able to paint and talk at same time. Learned a lot from you today. Thank you!

[@leifefrancisco7316]

I really really love your painting demos.

[@pritchetty]

How would you paint a wicker basket? It seems so complicated. Can you give a demonstration? Great videos, thanks!

[@wadwawadwa9022]

Thank you Mark for another great video- it was just magically, none of the color you have mix look “ copper” but it came through! Great narrative, packed with valuable wisdom 😍- I am inspired!

[@Dr10Jeeps]

I love your videos. They are informative and fun to watch.

[@dougeike]

Fantastic! Just the right length and detail to show what you do and how you do it. I like the narrative about the process. Thanks!

[@amyjofischer653]

Thank you for this. Can you tell us more about the canvases you work on?

[@Whiskeygalore24]

Thank you Mark, your way of painting is so helpful, I'm in Ireland, trying to teach myself thanks so much for this demonstration.glad to hear your feeling better.

[@jacksutherland8749]

Excellent instruction, I've really struggled with most of the issues of a "novice" painter. Thanks for sharing

[@alexandraacreator-art]

I have to say...wow! Beautiful. You made it look easy.

[@tpakzone]

Mark. I have used your method and you cannot go wrong with it. Thank you.

[@brenlefe]

Your explanations are so helpful. Do you add linseed oil to the paint, it's so creamy?

[@nagyelwakeel22]

Thank you, it is calming and mindful to watch these amazing videos

[@carolbenson6524]

Gorgeous painting...looks like a photo. Thanks for video!

[@stephentaylor5799]

Thanks for sharing ,painting with abstraction is so important in bringing our work to a different level.

[@areebanwar9229]

he should make a video on value and the placement cuz his trained eye sees the general area while I get caught up looking at the highlights which makes me paint tentatively

[@maldoori238]

I loved this video, always inspiring and informative. Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful skills. From Glasgow in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

incredible explanation and amazing piece.

[@faridiratni4111]

Very good démo. Thanks.

[@bobmickiewicz]

Really enjoyed the tutorial. Could you tell me what the colors were on your palette?

[@craft-o-matic399]

Is value the same as tone? Wonderful work as always! I'm a 65 year old beginner. Thank you! Lisa

[@devjawaji]

Really beautifully painted. Learned lot from this video. Thanks a lot

[@johnnydesjardins1463]

Great video as always. Do you think you could ever do a short video on glazing ? How you would mix the Geneva colors to produce the different tints ?

[@debbiejohnson2789]

When I was young at university for art, I assumed we would get this kind of instruction. What was I thinking, just the assumption of someone young? I was sadly mistaken. Thank you Sir, for giving us what many of us did not get at University!’

[@awakeenlighten2298]

Mark, your teaching is a cut above the rest.

[@lumartin1838]

Thank you so much. What is your dark color.It looks like Burnt Unber,but you must ahve blue and alizarin in that mix.Do you? I really enjoyed this. I tend to paint too fast,then have to repair.This will slow me down.

[@leighwilsonartist]

Fantastic Mark, thanks for passing on your knowledge, these are must watch demos. Thanks Mate.

[@marieblomfineart]

Mark, You are just fantastic! I recently discovered you and I've already learned so much, thanks a million for sharing all this knowledge!! Love your work and your way of teaching! Marie

20:38 - Looks like a finial ( 'finny-ull' ). They are decorative, often rod-like or conical structures found on domed buildings (like mosques) and on the tops of urns or lidded vases - and other stuff, too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finial

I thought that was a photograph of a was real bright brass jar. No kidding. By the pictures, I assumed you were gonna test gold spray paint on brass. You are awesome. I want to learn from you. Sub'd.

What are the chances of watching you paint a portrait? Thank you so much for all your videos and website content. I have learned so much from you, honestly. Thank you!

[@gailtate7774]

Great demo. I missed the colors on your pallet. Can you repeat them in comments?

[@patriciaharris6404]

Wow, this is amazing. Such great advice too. Just discovered your channel. I shall go to your videos and start from the beginning. Thank you!

[@jcepri]

Do you ever recommend doing a wash or underpainting with acrylic? What is the purpose of using acrylic?

[@lora5638]

Impressive. Only 10 min in and it looks already solid

[@taylorj6177]

Wow, man... you have an amazingly good eye to be able to do all those colors like that! So cool!!! Thank you :)

another great tutorial i really enjoy how you make it easy for the rookie or the veteran to get n understand the process..👍

[@jinxmas]

See, I'm watching you and listening to you, and I am seeing different shapes then you are. I find that fascinating.

[@MHarenArt]

Wow, that is stunning work, and although I'm an acrylic painter, there is still, indeed so much to learn just by watching and listening. The techniques you describe are just as important in acrylic painting : values, color mixing, painting dark to light, etc. etc. The handling of the paint is the biggest difference as far as I can tell in oil vs. acrylic. Question? What do you do with all that paint that is still on your pallet? That's a lot of wasted paint?

[@jacobtrimm5889]

I seem to be always getting a glare on my color checker. What I mean is that if I hold my hand above and in front of it like you suggested, it always seems to darken. Will some glare always be present? If so, what is an execrable amount of glare to have?

[@houriabenamara2678]

Excellent video ! What medium and what colours did you use ,please?

[@paulinehughes5325]

Beautiful demo thank you, very useful /helpful information

[@souvikbasak6203]

Sir, which kind of surface do you paint on??

[@defin99]

That looks ace.

[@Applebanger]

This is a very helpful video. Any ideas which color palette Mark is using? I'd guess cadmium yellow light, cadmium red medium, ultramarine blue, raw umber, and white and black. Not sure about the blue though.

[@auto1nfanticid3]

what is the purpose of holding the brush so far back? would you not get more accuracy with a tighter grip?

Sweet! Wish I was closer to Austin.

[@laurelwelch4176]

Andrew, they are freeeeeeeee. F.r.e.e.

[@NicklasLarenholtz]

So inspired.... I’m so Quito’s regarding paint wet on wet. I find it difficult to not mix the colors. Example when I do reflections. Titanium white gets grayish ore what color I have on the top layer. I assume I apply the color incorrect.... smudge the brush ore something

[@naimasaida]

Thank you so much for this lesson

[@PrincessAloeVera]

GREAT DEMO! ...QUESTION: At the very end, like almost the last sentence you said "So you can imagine, if you were painting that up close, you'd want to fix all of that." You were referring to the abstract strokes, and I just want to be sure that what you really are saying is that we DON'T want to fix all of that right? Are you really saying that up close it's messy.. but at a proper distance it's not a mess.... it looks "right"? Thank you.

[@silvahovhannesian4762]

You are an amazing classic Artist. Thank you!

[@yoheff988]

What's your take on under painting with earthy colors first, let it dry and then adding the appropriate colors? or it doesn't really matter

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

May I ask .....What is the disadvantages of using disposable paper palette?

[@alanince428]

What surface do you paint on? I noticed that your canvas and your pallet are the same color, what color do you use, and why?

[@AmerSignLang3]

Where should I go to look into taking your classes? I’m here in Dallas, just a short skip to Austin.

[@stevie68a]

[@royalecrafts6252]

exactly what I needed thanks a lot, do you have painting demos about any other type of metal? or metal texture?

[@AliBaba-ke5jn]

Are you using black here?

So do u always start painting the negative space first when painting a vase.? Or symmetrical object?

What kind of pencil are you using to draw on the canvas?

[@daniflower11]

Stabilo all surface color pencil in 8044 Yellow

[@daniflower11]

@blueone black It does not bleed through the paint. I have the same color pencil in that hue. I only experienced drawing with it on stained canvas, not bare. Hope this helps!

[@daniflower11]

@blueone black You're welcome! I totally understand about not ruining a painting. Good luck on your art :)
