How to Use Values to Create Depth with Jim McVicker

[@vickiepellouchoud-ud9vi]

Watching Jim paint is captivating and exhilarating !!! It’s freeing to observe how he applies paint with such vigor and working the whole painting. I am in love with that! Giving me a whole new energy to get out of my slump.

Great to see how Jim manipulates the values without being too specific with his colours.

Happy birthday Eric! Watching replay from Queensland, Australia almost 5 am. Thanks Jim for painting for us this morning. It’s fascinating to watch , with so much to learn. Amazing!

[@josedejuan1]

Jim is an amazing painter. Love his interiors (and his exteriors!)

[@dianneturner47]

Inspirational Jim. The brush work was fascinating to watch with extraordinary tonal work. Enjoyed watching. Thank you

[@patriciaellen2794]

From Manitoba Canada. I’ve started watching these videos for a short time. Very inspiring. I gave up most of my painting about 30 years ago. Life just happens and so does depression. So hopefully I will get back to something I used to love.

[@ellies7671]

Try to get back to art as soon as you can - even if it’s only a five minute sketch a day. I find art such a great de stress, un wind, calm peaceful and safe happy place to be in. Grab that time for yourself and zone out from other stuff in life so you can restore you. You’ll learn to love it again. Best wishes.

[@sduncan2323]

Thank you Jim. I see how values really make the painting.

[@bland628]

I was wondering what that noise was 😂. Was thinking maybe the chair. I love Jim’s loose painting style.

Hello from Idaho

[@artlessons6772]

Are there certain colors you always have on your palette.

[@kathryndonatelli9918]

Eric, I tried 3 times to get that free ebook. It never arrived in my emailbox and also the link to download from this site went to an error page. So wondering where else I can get it from?
