One of my painting teachers loved to say you should use a brush that almost feels too big for what you’re painting like what you did in areas where you blocked in the colors. And that was always such a challenge for me because I love tiny brushes and obsessing over details. Your pieces turned out absolutely lovely!

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Yes I have had the exact same problem in the past where I stick to my little brushes and over focus on detail! I had to buy these bigger brushes especially for this video😅 It took a little bit to get used to but they’re so much more fun to paint with. I like that motto that you should use a brush that’s almost feels too big- going to stick to that from now on ♡

[@danielwilliams3161]

Definitely you always start big and then go small

[@BryanJRiolo-q5h]

I would love to meet your painting teacher. 👹👹👹

[@jk3253]

I recognized Morgana just from the thumbnail of your painting of her hands. A compliment to both your rendering skills and Katie McGrath’s iconic mastery of the role!

[@caitlinoliviaart]

I can't believe this!! I thought for sure no one would recognise her from that thumbnail

[@reecespieces353]

same!!

[@jennywren6232]

Me too! 50% of the reason I clicked on the video 😂

[@yesitsvivien]

4:53 starting this painting by focusing on where the negative space is in your reference is so smart!

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Oh thanks! It's something new I've been trying out

[@Mariel-w2s]

I can't believe someone just painted a character from Merlin. I love that show so much that when I saw the thumbnail I immediately opened the video recognizing Morgana🥺.Btw your videos are so inspiring and informative I just love it!!

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Thank you! It makes me so happy seeing all the merlin fans who came to this video for morgana!!

[@j_fenrir]

2:09 PREACH! people look at me like a mad man when im constantly redoing my sketches, but i just cannot stand those fundemental errors! it makes painting the rest of the piece a chore if i can see glaring errors that i cant fix

[@springnicole]

I’m not an oil painter, nor do I paint in this style, but this was truly inspiring to watch. I admire your dedication to the process. Also, you are a capable painter in your own right.

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Thank you!!

[@Incognito2.0]

i dont give compliments easily but dang, girl you are GOOD! Spot on observations and analysis and stellar techniques. Thanks for sharing.

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Aw thank you!! This means a lot to me 😭

[@CreativeKristenTaylor]

It was so cool that you explored so much more beyond a master copy. I’ve been reading Rosa Bonheur’s biography and exploring her sketches and thought processes to understand how she approached animal art and it’s such an eye opening experience when you try to put yourself into the mind and life of an artist like that. And it does change how you think about your own art. Thanks for this fun video! I feel inspired to get into the studio! 🤗

[@caitlinoliviaart]

I love Bonheur's work! Especially her horses. It's so fun hearing about how an artists life reflects in their work and I hardly scraped the surface! Glad you enjoyed the video ❤️

[@squeeler1598]

I love merlin bbc! So much fun to see it get mentioned so randomly since i don’t encounter that often online. I am currently watching it for the 3rd time together with a discord group, its so much fun! Thank you so much for this video and sharing the experience :)

[@caitlinoliviaart]

It definitely deserves more hype! I love it 😭

[@j_fenrir]

morgana in sargent's style???? are you reading my mind right now, this is a perfect idea

[@caitlinoliviaart]

The silky dress and the pose was SCREAMING Sargent

[@j_fenrir]

@caitlinoliviaart YES ABSOLUTELY!!

[@Darksouls184]

Loved the editing, music, and of course all the painting! Great job producing some quality, cozy, interesting content.

[@TheMediaMachine]

Thank you for your time, for sharing your ideas and what you learned visually so people like myself can benefit. I was struggling with how he does his paintings and I tried reading the books, watched videos of him but I still couldn't get it down. I'm more of a learner watching someone do it and then do the same beside them. Something that is difficult to find in real life but this video did it for me. I could see far more, pick up far more for me to confident try tomorrow. I even got my paints and canvas ready and room ready to try tomorrow. One of your most amazing work so far when it comes to applying the techniques of masters. I am very impressed with the proportions of everything - the face, the distance of eyes, nose, lips, the hair, and the dress because without these proportions to be spot on I'd not recognise who the person is you have painted except if I looked at the reference photo first. That there is one of the difficult things to do especially for me. The colours are vibrant. There is nothing muddy at all. It just pops out and blooms the more you look at the painting. Most of all, the way you delivered the whole video to us gives me confidence to do it tomorrow. At least I have a practical visual example to follow. So thanks!

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! It genuinely means so much to me when people actually find help through watching my videos ~ and I love that your paints are all ready to go. I hope it goes well ♡

[@felixoesinghaus]

What a great video! I love the way you tried to paint Morgana in Sargent sytle, I think the simplified jewelry worked really well

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Ah thank you!! I usually spend HOURS on the jewlery so when I did these simple ones in a few brushstokes I was like... no way it's this simple? There must be a catch?!😂

[@brightwatcher3757]

As soon as I saw Morgana I clicked! This is a wonderful exploration of Sargent’s technique. I did a Sargent study a couple years ago and your way of explaining everything is so clear. Your work is gorgeous too.💗

[@caitlinoliviaart]

I love that loads of people are recognising morgana!! And thank you so much for the kind words ❤️

[@WeblightDreamsStudio]

I love your story telling and editing but my gosh your painting skills always blow me away. Morgana turned out stunning and this video is just pure gold. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. I definitely need to some master studies other than the Mona Lisa with a little impressionism through in the mix is the only Master Study I have done so far.

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Thank you!! I really appreciate that🥹And wow the Mona Lisa is a hard one to go with

[@shikusx]

I use two brushes in my oil paintings: medium flat brush and a medium round brush, sometimes a long thin brush for small details but really just cleaning up shapes gets you the same precision. Limiting your materials serious makes more creative and organic works. Same reason why I use the Zorn palette religiously for portraits.

[@Circe_of_Aeaea]

Came here for Lady Morgana on the thumbnail, stayed for the amazing art advice! That dress was simply iconic.

[@torei444]

This video was just so calming to watch ❤ loved the part where you spend the day out and came back replenished with new ideas. Lovely work!

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Thank you!! I'm so glad you liked it❤️

[@allisonaletha]

IMMEDIATELY added this to my watchlist when I saw Lady Morgana!! You’ve captured her so beautifully, and the Sargent influence is so strong 🥰💛

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Haha I love that I've managed to find all of the fellow Merlin fans! And thank you🥹❤️

[@Tooradj]

I loved watching this. Whenever I am standing in front of a Sargent portrait, face is the last place I look at. Brushstrokes and values/color relationships everywhere else makes me look close and backup so many times I get exhausted. I loved watching you doing the clothes. Looking forward to see more videos from you.

[@deebailey8924]

I love this video. Really trying to explore the genre 💛 I am loving being an audience member on your journey. Your vulnerability and honesty about your artwork and your constant desire to develop is inspiring. Thank you for sharing Caitlinart xx

[@caitlinoliviaart]

I'm glad you love it 🥰Thank you!

[@irnogen5342]

Excellent video, well researched and very engaging. You've got an incredible talent!

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Thank you so much!! :)

[@ArtistLiva]

All of those turned out so beautiful! ❤❤❤

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@ru.sheng-ai-hua]

Your paintings are very beautiful, and your voice is nice. Although my native language is not English, and I don’t paint oil paintings, I only paint acrylics, but I love listening to you speak and watching you paint. I look forward to seeing more of your paintings. come on!

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Aw thank you!! I'm so glad you liked the video ❤️

[@mananmishra7545]

Stunning artwork ! Your talent is truly inspiring for me... The colours an emotions you've captured are truly amazing...... Love from INDIA 👍🏻

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

Ooooh, it's gorgeous and so skilled creating quite the stylish vibe!

[@keroessa3079]

youre morgana looks so beautiful!!!

[@caitlinoliviaart]

AHH thank you!! ♡

[@erickag7596]

This is the most beautiful study vid of sargeant ❤

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Thank you so much😭❤️

[@beesalittlenerdbird5949]

I saw this thumbnail and went “MORGANA! AND SARGENT!” Needless to say I’ve found my people

[@williambo5989]

beutiful . i bellieved sargent painted by memory and only needed to look at his model once. but that takes years of practice and have to start young

[@The_Red_Jester]

Saw the thumbnail and immediately clicked. No clue who Sargent was, never knew of your channel before, just a fan of anything Morgana

[@caitlinoliviaart]

I respect that 😌 She's an icon

[@YIPPI3R0CKZ]

I just stumbled upon this channel and oh my gosh your art is so gorgeous!! I’ve been wanting to try to start oil painting for a few years now and this video has inspired me to finally buy a starting set of paints :)) thank you for creating these beautiful paintings and please keep creating more ❤ (also if anyone reading this has any advice for someone new to oil painting that would be really helpful)

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Oh my gosh that's so cool, I'm glad you liked it! This is your sign!✨ One tip I would give is not to worry about mediums to start with. I feel like it complicated things more unnecessarily when I first started. I dont use any linseed oil or anything, it's not a must. Sticking with just paint thinner is simpler to start with! Paint Coach has lots of helpful beginner oil painter tutorials

[@christianday8430]

Gorgeous. You have a real gift.

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Thank you so much!!

So beautiful! Amazing work! 👏👏🌸

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Thank you so much!!❤️

[@FloraSchenk]

Your paintings are so beautiful ❤

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Thank you so much ♡

[@bieb1956]

heyy, i love your videos so much!! i was wondering if you would make a small video in the future on how you prepared your working area, including how u put that wood board on your eaself and also the canvas board seems stuck to the board on its own :o how did u do that? is very smart!!

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Thank you! And yes I can definitely do a video like that at some point! The canvas boards are actually stuck on with masking tape that I wrapped around itself to make it double sided. I'll leave a link to the masking tape since I highly recommend it - it's nice and strong but also rarely rips paper ♡ www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09RJRDZGL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@TheVictorianWizard]

What is the easel you are using? I’m looking to buy one and that one looks perfect for what I need…

[@TIT5US5]

Great work and video! Thanks for sharing!

[@Harlequin52]

8:19 The trust you have in that tape to not drop that tablet...!

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Trust it with my life ✊😂

[@Mia-lt8uk]

favorite artist youtuber here :)

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Aww that is too sweet🥹❤️

[@shadiacamilaocanahidalgo2516]

4:49 KATIE MCGRATH! IT'S FROM MERLIN ADVENTURES!!! she played as Morgana.

[@gbrlsntglvs]

Recognize Lady Morgana just from the thumbnail😊 Absolutely beautiful paint ❤ hands are hard for everyone 😢

[@sukhpreetsinghartist6080]

Wow,, strong touches

[@glynwilliams4204]

Nice video - I am on a similar journey and recognize much of what you say. I am *way* too cheap with paint.

[@alicekibbe]

Very impressive!

[@emmawood2311]

Hii, loving the video

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Thank you very much!

[@Beau_JT]

I live in Chester! Do you have a store you go to for your art supplies? I struggle to find a safe haven of art supplies here

[@caitlinoliviaart]

@@Beau_JT Ah no way! I get my brushes from hobby craft at greyhound retail park but other than that I get everything online. Bromley’s art supplies is great and Loxley is good for canvases. It’s a shame there’s not many independent art stores in Chester :(

[@Beau_JT]

@ brilliant! Thank you, I agree it is such a inspirational place for art so a good store would be lovely! A New Year’s resolution to get back into art more :)

[@Elio.34]

Omg Morgana pendragon

[@houssamtl]

next level art btw why when we paint we try to reach that level of real pic?

[@Eliot55]

8:10 makes me anxious why use such a flimsy tape😦

[@caitlinoliviaart]

This tape is heavy duty💪 It has yet to fail me

[@mayukhbanerjee1147]

So are you using palette paper?

[@caitlinoliviaart]

No it's actually baking paper on cardboard! Much cheaper than palette paper

[@halaaga4621]

Hi ! I have i question pls can you tell me how can i start learn paint? Because l really like drawing Sketches but i always dont know how to start paint so pls if you know any KZbin resources that can help me or any website, I would be very grateful! And yes your videos are very motivating! They are the reason I want to learn.

[@halaaga4621]

Sorry for my English it's not my first language 😅

[@caitlinoliviaart]

@@halaaga4621 Paint coach is a good KZbin channel if you’re just starting out oil painting!

[@ollievher]

I wish you would d tell us whch paints you used

[@caitlinoliviaart]

I used winsor and newton artists oil colours mostly!

[@peckerdecker]

Sketching is great. "Use a pen* to draw (forget pencils) . A regular ballpoint pen *makes you committed* Have fun drawing and painting. Merry Christmas 2024 everyone

[@ameliaroseillustrations]

Morgana?! *CLICK*

[@caitlinoliviaart]

Haha I loveee her

[@miroslavivanov6682]

Why everyone makes "Paint Like Sargent" videos and none "Paint Like Bouguereau" XD

[@nathaniel9526]

What surface did you paint on?

[@nathaniel9526]

And what oil paint sci you use

[@caitlinoliviaart]

I painted on canvas and canvas board in this video, but I also like wood panel and gesso board! As for my paints I use winsor and newton artists oil colours :)

[@surooh]

I immediately recognised Morgana from the dress. 😂❤
