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.

[@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.

[@jennifergottliebel-azhari149]

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. 🙏👍🏻

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@leighwilsonartist]

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

[@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!

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

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

[@jinxmas]

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

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!

[@108Atman]

Thanks for your new video! :)

[@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?

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.

[@royalecrafts6252]

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

[@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.

[@brenlefe]

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

[@CharlotteMiller]

amazing thank you

[@faithmarielake592]

Very beautiful works! What colors are you using on your pallette? It would help if i could know what colors your using please. I'm a new subscriber. I Love your paintings!!
