Reminds me of my days at Institute of Design at IIT with Mr. Bedno, et al. 50+ years ago! NuPastel renderings of hard edge products- real and proposed- were my forte, but solid principles to also be applied to faces, limbs, torsos, nature, etc. Can't compromise on the physics of light and shadows. Thank you!

The explanation at 25:00 about "do not touch it again" was so helpful! It makes so much sense and never dawned on me. Thank you again, John.

I am very new to exploring the artistic journey...I've been in technology for 35 years. -__- I am discovering, quickly, that patience is a must have to even sit down with paints and brushes! That is the first thing I am trying to teach myself. Slow myself down. Allow myself to not have a hard deadline or "goals" anymore. Allow for childlike play again. I like your style!

why were you not my teacher in college. You're wonderful. I love the references to the old masters and the terms you use. Although I was an art major in the late 60's, most of what I know is self taught and I'm just now trying to learn the basics. You are a god send!

John, your classes must fill up so fast. I absolutely love watching you teach. Takes me back to Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, 40 years ago. Scanning Jerry's video to find as many of your tutorials as are posted. Please keep producing them. I am working in acrylics, but techniques and design elements are important no matter what medium one works in. Thank you again.

These are really relaxing and well taught. I’m an illustrator and tend to avoid painting.. These tutorials have sparked a strong curiosity to paint more.

Thank you for simplifying undertones for me. Appreciate all your tips about the Masters too. Have you written a book? Wondering the make is of your red tipped brush?

David Leffel would say dabbling is like a run-on sentence, no break, and no emphasis, just one resounding note, and then here comes you, to appreciate as described that beautiful old master's stroke. Interesting. I like your approach because we can't reduce painters only to those who make a variety of strokes and accuse those who dabble to only be concerned with picture making. I see Leffels point and would argue, adding contrast through strokes just like the parameter of gradation is another feather on one's cap. Sure, it's easier to dab your way into a sphere than slicing it with plains through brushstrokes, but not every painter needs to paint like an impressionist or like the late Richard Schmidt, although personally I also do classify painter's as those who use brushstrokes before any other art metric in order to consider one a painter, but I don't judge lowbrow surrealism or Florence Academic Atelier approach. There's beauty in all types of paintings if they are painted from the heart and soul, just like you have. Sorry for separating paintings from painters. The average art enthusiast doesn't know the difference, perhaps intuitively.

Just 1 question. When you applied the accent lines around 1:06:55 you remarked that they remind us that theres gravity. What if there is something leaning, like a ruler leaning up against a wall or something, and our light source is below the point where the ruler touches the wall. Would you still add an accent line to the top of the ruler? Excuse me, im horrible at wording things and even worse at typing. I hope this makes enough sense to not give you a migraine.😅

That's a really good question. I wish I knew. I'm still at the stage, I would have to set up the scene with a real ruler and light to observe.

Actually it was said a perfect circle, Giotto and Raphaello , not Leonardo . The filbert brush was invented in the early 19th century. It emerged as a result of evolving painting techniques, particularly during the Romantic and Impressionist periods, when artists began to experiment with softer, more blended brushstrokes. The filbert brush, characterized by its flat ferrule and oval-shaped bristles, became popular for its versatility-it could create both broad strokes and fine lines depending on how it was held. It’s especially favored for blending, creating smooth edges, and painting natural forms like flowers, foliage, and skin tones in portraits. While the exact inventor isn’t known, its development is closely tied to the advancements in oil painting techniques and the growing variety of artist brushes during the 1800s.

Black and white are not colours.. true, but... ...I've never seen a paint that is black or white. To paint a wall, i can choose from over 600 variations of "white". Not one of them are true white. The 5 variations of "black" in the art store, all of them are a colour, not true black. Anyone who declares black or white paint aren't colours would benefit from spending less time on the computer and more time actually looking at the world around them, or better yet painting.
