Thanks!

Thank you so much! I appreciate your support!

The more I look at your videos, the more I appreciate them. But this one is truly excellent. You are a fantastic teacher, thank you Phil 😊

[@philstarke.artist]

Wow, thank you!

[@pchabanowich]

The desert cliffs work is fabulously conceived and rendered... your approach is an eye-opener for me. Thank you.

[@philstarke.artist]

Glad it was helpful

This is a world class art lesson. I would compare it to visiting an art museum with a fantastic art critic who breaks down how the painting masterpieces are created.

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks Jane!

Great Video. I could watch this over and over and over as it contains so much basic information. Now I think I will go back and regroup and do several thumbnails and basic washes showing just the basic shapes. Wow. You keep saying it and it is sinking in. Thank you.

Hi Mary, Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome!

[@karyeastham1522]

I love the way you share detail along with bits of historical information. In 2 videos a few concepts have really sunk in. Thank you for your wonderful work.

[@philstarke.artist]

Glad you like them!

[@sierragold]

That painting behind and to the right of you during the intro is fantastic!

[@philstarke.artist]

Thank you very much!

I have been a Charles Movali admirer for sometime. I really like the distant trees in the upper righthand corner of that winter scene of his. The grey with just a couple of brush strokes of orange over the top easily defines that distant tree line. This is a great video Phil.

[@philstarke.artist]

I'm a big fan of Movalli too, a lot to learn there, Thanks Allen

[@belindahall5220]

Thank you for this very helpful lesson!! I really appreciate the direct, concise explanations of color mixing and the steps you use to create the effects! I will definitely use this as a guide to practice with:) I am really a fan of this style of broken color!! Beautifully done Phil😊

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks Belinda, glad it was helpful

[@PaintingandExercise]

I love your statement (paraphrasing and coming to my own conclusion) that if you start your painting with doing a lot of detail then when the canvas is covered you do not want to tweak it or alter it because you have put in so much time and effort that you do not want to change it or it is disappointing to see that the painting is "off". @5:50 is where I have learned to get to. Thank you.

[@philstarke.artist]

Its in the drawing stage where you don't want to add detail, it makes it harder to add color loosely. Glad it was helpful

[@didgeridooblue]

Remember: To do the color build-up correctly, the colors you see are the last colors to be applied.

[@philstarke.artist]

Thats it!

[@kathyswearingen1509]

Excellent as all your video lessons are! Thank you

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks Kathy

[@---Dana----]

Thank you, Phil, for another very helpful video. I tend to over mix paint so I liked your puddles of mixtures on your palette. Beautiful brushstrokes on your painting. 😍

[@philstarke.artist]

Glad it was helpful!

My pleasure!

[@catholictortillas777]

Thank you, so much wonderful information! Beautiful!

[@philstarke.artist]

You are so welcome!

I really loved your explanation and to see the stages of your painting coming alive. I know you are mostly about composition and colors but I would like to know if that painting has been painted over a few days or is a one shot. I want to learn how to manage better layers like you do cause sometimes it's not easy to apply wet paint over wet paint. Especially in the first block in, are you waiting it to dry or are you just going over? Thanks. Greg

[@philstarke.artist]

Hi Greg, That painting was a 10x12, and I did those stages in one sitting, I'll let that dry then add the finishing details. The key is to start thin and end thick.

[@eleojay401]

Nice work, Phil! Question: have you ever painted a lion or one of the other big cats? How would you go about that, with your style of paint application? Eleo N.

[@philstarke.artist]

I haven't painted a big cat before, but I would approach it the same as I paint anything. big shapes and values and getting the proportions right.

[@beatsandwaves8156]

You talk practically all about color, and don't even show a brush. So say, what kind of brushes and movement, help us to produce paintings with 'Expressive Brushwork'?
