Full Oil Painting Demo: Why you shouldn't always go by the photo

[@chrismalone617]

I discovered your channel a couple of days ago and have watched more than I care to admit. :) I appreciate your no-nonsense approach. No pretense. You exude your joy and passion for painting in a way that makes it seem accessible to all. I'll be a new $5 patron soon. Keep up the awesome!

Love it, the paint looks way more beautiful than the photo 👏

[@john-wells]

I've watched a bunch of your videos over the years and I just wanted to tell you that they are super helpful and I really enjoy them. You are very well-spoken and I really appreciate your insights and all the effort you've put into making your videos. Thank you so much. Cheers! 😊

this was a good subject. totally enjoyed the drawing and painting.

Sir, you are a great painter. You remind me of a great English painter, Terence Cuneo, he specialised in steam trains. Like you he made complicated subjects look like fun. At one time he’d painted the Queen more times than anyone, mainly for the dining rooms for a host of regiments of the armed forces. Don Gilburn, retired graphic designer. Now an enthusiast painter

I really enjoy this video excellent painting. Every time I need to learn something I just look for videos.

[@marcyperrier7030]

Really loved watching you paint and how you skip from one area to another. Thanks too for showing a close-up at the end showing us the details of the boats behind.

[@sonyadean7602]

Amazing! So much talent and thank you for sharing your knowledge. I just discovered my aptitude for painting and I am loving it. Your videos are so inspiring and encouraging to paint! I am forever grateful.

Love that painting and love the comment 'sneak up on it' so so true and that took me ages to grasp as I always went straight to 'it has to look finished from brush stroke one' :) Thanks for sharing

[@marcyperrier7030]

Your drawing ability is amazing....

[@dorothyscott701]

I love watching your approach to painting. Thanks for your tutorials and I will stay tuned for more! 💕

I've been watching your videos for a while, and now going back to catch up. I found your pear and value painting interesting, .. I'm a watercolor artist for the last 30 or so years.. However, as a young girl I started in oils, and now I'm looking to get back into it. Not that I could ever give up my watercolor. Your videos are helping me relearn oils. Thanks so much ..

[@helenwignell610]

Splendid, your videos are so relaxing and informative, i used to just jump straight into painting and have problems but now working on the base layer has really improved my paintings 👍😁

[@lucasajtingle]

First off, thank you for all of your valuable and generous insights. Love your channel. I was curious if you could explain your studio lighting set-up? Usually I paint by window light (a large window) but would love to have the option of painting in the evening. Do you have any recommendations on studio lighting? Beyond daylight colour temperature, overhead positioning , diffused light to combat glare, what do you like to use? Thank you in advance :)

[@jrlakin370]

Very useful 👍

[@sp9138]

Excellent

[@susanclark9143]

Thank you so much 😊

[@elizabethhunt5536]

Hi Chris, love this painting. Could you confirm you used just the primary colours and white for it, or were there maybe other ingredients (eg the Burnt Sienna for initial block-in) ?

[@hyunminpark1467]

I really enjoy your videos which help me a lot to understand the base of oil painting. I have tried to learn by myself and want to try this painting following your guidance. Could you please let me know how to find the original photo? Many thanks!:)

[@Cat-Dusty]

you good! i like your channel its helpful to me

[@paintcoach]

Cat 5959 thanks!

[@suecalvi9862]

Beautiful painting as always. Just one thing though, the walkway on the left doesn’t look quite right, it looks a little vertical.

[@40bdg]

I really enjoy watching you paint and seeing your progression. Love this painting! I find it difficult to have good control of my strokes when I hold the brush back so far. Any tips, or is it just a matter of practice?

[@southerly11]

I like to take seven or eight short deep breaths, followed by a loud, sustained exhalation through my teeth - and I also compress my abdominals very tightly. The Weaver stance is best. Hope this helps.

[@sharonmalkadaskal6869]

I wish I had your talent.

[@katehobbs2008]

This was exactly what I needed. Thank you

[@indianahoosier5794]

Very nice. I should have started painting much younger...

[@paintcoach]

Indiana Hoosier never too late to start!

[@RANDALLBRIGGS]

Very helpful, even though I paint acrylics.

[@BabretManArts]

Nice work bruh 😍

[@BashBash-k3x]

Thank you for your amazing paint _ I need to as how do u still make a control on color yet the paint is still not dry _ hoe do you still have a control on that _ is it the paint mixture of amount of paint and the other stuff that u add on color < like mixture solution >

[@wajang1000]

Is there a way to pay yearly for patreon instead of monthly? Other persons have this option.

[@busterking5895]

what colors did you use ?

[@fereshmahta6113]

this time i could draw better. darkening is easy, finding the right value for sky and the sea was more practice by matching with the reference, painting the boat and the reflection on the water was challenge to mix the color that matches with the reference, painting the sky which is lighter than the water, the clouds, painting the house with its value

[@fereshmahta6113]

i have a problem of painting sun in the sky. what is the value and color of the sun? what color is the rays of the sun in the sky? yellow?

[@driftforlife8436]

I couldn't find the full time vid on your patron?

[@carolweale5317]

Do you critique work if we send pic?

[@allenvoss7977]

I’m so jealous

[@snapperlee8670]

What lighting do you use sir?

[@paintcoach]

I try to use as much natural window light as possible but I also have on of those over head lamps on a bendable arm right over my easel and a ring light that I bounce off the walls to be softer. The key is to try and have as much even natural soft light as possible. It might take some adjusting to get it right without glare and such but do what you can. Everyones studio set up is different
