To anyone on the fence about purchasing one of Chris's courses, or joining his Patreon page, DO IT!! You will not regret it. I've learned and progressed so much since December. I am so glad I found your content, Chris! Thank you!

[@LidyaMorozova]

THEY ARE GOLD. What I LOVE about them is that I will continue to go back to these courses forever. When I'm not getting where I want to go in my work, I go back to the Fundamentals of Oil Painting Course and learn something new each and every time. Then when I go back to portraits, it corrects the problem. I think as you grow as a painter, you're able to extract more and more from them. Plus the Patreon, having a huge library of full-length painting tutorials, you can find anything you're looking for there. So excited to take the portrait course next!!

[@MandyMichels]

@@LidyaMorozova Yes! Agreed!

[@ShaneLinkMarshall]

So much is included it’s insane.. best course on the internet💯

[@MandyMichels]

@@ShaneLinkMarshall Absolutely! I've learned more from him than I ever did in my college classes.

[@ascricco987]

I definitely second that, Chris has a great way of explaining and breaking down things!

[@christopherl-b1892]

Please, please, please make an entire free portrait video! Just one!

[@RJD1308]

If you want to see a full portrait session search KZbin for Renso Art, many complete portraits and he usually does a livestream once a week and you can ask questions.

[@LidyaMorozova]

If you're a beginner especially, Chris sets you up to think about painting in a way that will help you succeed. Cuts out all the minutia of painting and gets straight to what actually makes a painting work. I'm only in my first year of painting, I can't imagine I would be where I am now without Coach lol.

[@christopherl-b1892]

Are you familiar with Alex Tzavaras from SIMPLIFY DRAWING AND PAINTING (youtube channel)? He also does Alla Prima work.

[@RobertJonesWightpaint]

Veryinteresting - I always like your "Go get painting!" - it sounds like a personal instruction, with an air of menace.... as I may well have said before, I repeat myself.... Were you using pure Turps all the way through, or was that a mix of oil and Turps?

[@lilmuffin4834]

he uses gamsol

[@LuoDrawing]

Your paintings are always full of surprises and freshness, and every time you see them, they are eye-catching. Your structural paintings have achieved a high level of skill, detail, creativity, and emotional expression.

[@laurenwortman3244]

I hope this isn't a ridiculous, embarrassing question 🫣: black paint? I rarely see anyone use black; they always mix a really dark blackish color instead. Can you share a little about that choice? I really enjoyed watching your process here!! So sweet that you painted your older brother🥰 He's so handsome. And the stories along the way 😂 That's what portrait painting is all about👌 Thanks for sharing your expertise!!

[@Lucy-uf6oi]

I believe he is using a modified version of the "zorn palette" here, which uses black!

[@aneesha3826]

Sir please make a 30 munities painting tutorial of flowers painting. Thank you so much for this tutorials, this is very helpful.

[@kathleenlairscey5934]

This was great. I ve just got brave enough to try portraits. Skin tones were always a mystery. And then the shaded tones. I m encouraged.

[@HarryBird-b4g]

Hi Chris, love the way you explain your method here good work. So is it possible to pay a one fee for the whole of this tutorial?

[@FolashadeOlotu]

Please, please, please and please let us always have free video of portraiture as this, your work is good and swift. keep on the good works.

[@ashtialii]

What’s the color names? Pls 🙏🏻

[@sylvain_st_pierre_2019]

Hello M. Fornataro, thanks for the great videos. Question: i see in most videos that you have a small container filled with thinner and most of the time opened. Did you ever get issues with that ? headache, sore throat....asking because i started doing that in a ventilated room and i have a sore throat.

[@paintcoach]

I've never had any problems

[@rakeshchoudhary7391]

You are a great master artists sir

[@faafafineartist]

♥

[@CaptainKirk1963]

Have to check his brother's stats out. Very talented family.

[@maryhough8041]

Hey Chris! I love your content, it’s helped me a bunch on my oil painting process. I have a few suggestions, one of them being a color mixing tutorial, I know you’ve already done one but you were sick with a cold, and sickly noises kinda make it hard to watch (not a fault of your own of course) And then maybe do a tutorial on different lighting scenarios. Like lighting from within a living room on a gloomy day, or one window letting light into a dimly lit hallway. I’d love to see your takes!

[@smilelovesucceed]

Thanks for the content Paint Coach! Wishing you all the best and hoping you and all your loved ones are all doing exceedingly and abundantly well! 🖤🙏🏽💐

[@emyerson]

Fornataro pitched in the Mets' minor league system too! Your family is so dang cool.

[@AnalisiaLuque]

I love your videos they have helped me so much with progressing with my paintings and are great for people who can’t afford to spend money on classes and i was wondering if you could do a tutorial on glazing over an underpainting

[@rdendelacruz4332]

So literaly, its like a watercolor....its starts with big shapes......awesome.....

[@FolashadeOlotu]

Omo, Chris you are doing a great job.Thanks

[@lmccallum8340]

Fabulous Chris - thank you so much for this great content.

[@joannsmith9]

I really really wanted to see you finish it !!!!

[@ShaneLinkMarshall]

TINY EARS!! I love it! Hahahaha

[@shuvoDhar.5537]

❤❤❤

[@swapneelswami7925]

Your brother would be happy to see this painting 😅😂. It turned out really great ❤

[@stevenjohnson7086]

Yeah, he’d be like… “You dick! You made my ears too small!” Then he’d throw Chris’s fresh laundry into the swimming pool. 😅

[@rodrosigos]

What is this liquid

[@maryhough8041]

Paint thinner from Gamblin! More specifically, Gamsol from Gamblin, it’s one of the best thinners when it comes to low toxic alternatives

[@RobertJonesWightpaint]

@@maryhough8041 If I'd read the other comments before asking my question, I wouldn't have needed to ask it ... thank you for that reply; I don't use Gamsol, it's somewhat hard to find it in the UK; I confess that I do use genuine Turpentine - not always, but sometimes. I have a theory that Turps is rather better for the paint than other thinners, though I DO know it's not good for us. I would take Chris's course, but having been painting for longer than he's been alive.... it's not that I think I know it all, it's not that I think I know better than him: I've learned a lot from watching his videos; but I don't really want to start from first base all over again...
