Make Your GRASS Look STUNNING!

[@chuckblackart]

Loved your responses to my last question about detail work so I though't I'd ask another.. What's your best advice or tip for painting foliage yourself? Would love to know!

[@ursulanonya6590]

Chuck Black Art I have a brush I trimmed uneven with a few long strands here and there. It was for fur, but I found it useful for grass too. I don't know much, so I just experiment alot.

[@PaintingsbyJustin]

I use a fan brush that is really worn out and also uneven. For the most part that works great for me !

[@brunianilacramioara549]

Great video as always, i am also using a few brushes that i cut them myself and this way i will have for example 3 tips to do grass blades insted of one( it goes a bit faster😁) and also i use a very thin liner brush.

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

I tend to use really totaled-out brushes, for distant foliage, and small detail brushes for up close foliage. I have used, after painting grasses in, a tool to scratch out highlights. The highlights can be made quite thin, using that technique, and if taken all the way to the canvas, are quite bright.

[@chrissycanvasart]

Paintings by Justin me too, it's worn out but works great for me too✌️👍

[@carolprevatt1696]

So glad to see someone who seriously paints grass that looks like grass. You cant get in a hurry.

[@rosstuck3927]

Hi Chuck This great tutorial is 2 yrs old and I did not start painting on canvas until 20 months ago waiting for a hip op at 78. So, I have watched many grass videos and this is by far the best, therefore many thanks. I have painted many landscapes with horses, dogs, cattle, sheep etc., mustering but my grass is RS! I am now going over every painting after watching this video and making the grass bounce out of the scenes. Many thanks once again. Ross

[@seklebs]

watering and proper light and food will insure that your grass will grow and give you big buds

[@Believe30]

LOL

[@a1axel738]

I'm so fucking stupid I was trying so hard to understand your comment

[@frankblangeard8865]

16-16-16 fertilizer during the spring rains in April or May...

[@CarolynDenison]

Your so wrong for that. LMAO

[@Simon05784]

😂

[@jjtsmom]

Chuck, you read my mind. After watching your time-lapse of this piece my first thought was, "I wish Chuck would do a tutorial on how he paints such detailed, realistic grass." Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and skill and enthusiasm with us. I think I speak for all in saying that we appreciate you.

[@chrissycanvasart]

Georgette Orwell absolutely ✌️😁

[@ursulanonya6590]

Every blade of grass matters! Yes, Chuck. That is so in tune with my picky nature. I learn so much from you. Thank you!

[@KatieParker-g5l]

You are so generous to share your advice, time, and techniques with us. You are such a great realistic style artist. You also have a fun and interesting personality. I love ALL of your videos. Thank you so much.

[@arthurgran731]

Pure joy to watch and learn or even "refresh" at my age. All these things can be implemented in a variety of mediums. Thank you!

[@mableannelliott5392]

2023, Feb...thank you. This is stunning and so inspiring. I love your instructions and style.

[@jenjen4658]

Wow that's the most beautiful grass I've ever seen 😍

[@lauren2882]

Every time I think it looks amazing, you added another layer of detailing and I'm wowed all over again! So beautiful!

[@travelandeventz2742]

👍👍

[@geri1864]

Perfect Chuck so realistic! I hope I can get these results. I love the sky as well in this painting. As always I love listening to you explain how to paint. Thank you

[@TorchwoodLuthiers]

Why did it take KZbin so long to recommend this guy to me!!!?! Fantastic talent Chuck!

[@mjjeter7169]

Another dynamic tutorial. You are a Magician! No question about it. Thanks for sharing all your little painting secrets when doing the details. So much to learn, and I am thankful you have given me the opportunity! Many, Many thanks!

[@artsalivestudio]

Great demo, Chuck. It's nice to see that to get what you want requires patience and perseverance. I get frustrated at times because to do the job right requires a LOT of work. But the end result is worth it - just look at your work.

[@susanreinersuedahl]

The whole piece is stunning Chuck!!

[@jesseswife420]

Love all your paintings, would you kindly show how you paint lights and their beams like on your realistic farm painting with the deer and old trucks. Hope this question makes since. Always looking forward to your next video. Thanks for being so open with your technics

[@dianiamullinax]

Love this video. So glad you think a your viewers are worthy of your time. You are wonderful my artist friend.

[@saltlifegull4091]

You've done it again, Chuck, another incredible painting and demonstration for us fans who hang on your every brush stroke! Your tip about switching from acrylic to oil is fabulous! I just don't know how you possibly get that paint to stretch so far with that tiny liner brush. THANKS for sharing, just beautiful:)

[@coviedogs]

That's fantastic! Can't believe how the deer looked as well!

[@suzannehix5755]

You're my inspiration. I keep watching your videos and learn so much from you. My goal is to paint like you. Your work is magical. Thank you for this video on the grass.

[@Dawsonsimard13]

Love the video, what colours did you use on the light part of the grass and in the dark part of the grass

[@helenschaefer1167]

I love watching you paint, every blade of grass is important to you. This scene looks like the deer are happily crossing over at sunset or maybe sunrise when it's safe to be about. Wonderful .

[@chuckblackart]

That was just my thoughts with it as well. Thank you Helen.

[@bamabev79]

You make your grasses look like a photograph! Unbelievably realistic! I love doing detail painting but, not sure I will ever be able to replicate yours to the level of realism you can do!

[@aislinngraves4291]

Beautiful. Amazing how such tiny strokes can bring it all together.

[@cristycreates2887]

Wow wow wow!!! U know every piece of art that you do is unbelievably amazing and I can never choose a favorite but this one is possibly my favorite!! Its so beautiful and u are such an inspiration to me!! Thank you so much for sharing Chuck!!

[@beverlymartin1751]

I am mesmerized as I watch you paint! Absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing!

[@gabby3046]

YOUR PAINTING IS SO GORGEOUS! THE SKY/ MOUNTAINS DOESNT LOOK LIKE ITS PAINTED AT ALL

[@martivanravenswaay-waddell6810]

Totally enthralled with your grass!! Thank you for sharing your talents!!

[@mariannecovo6960]

An extraordinary lesson on painting grass. Thank you so much!

[@julierutherford3150]

Very useful, thank you. I’m struggling with grass in my paintings, so it was interesting to see how the experts do it!

[@cameronwilliams1794]

you have seriously got to be one of the greatest artists of our time

[@carmenvilchez74]

Absolutely beautiful, the sky as always stop my breath ❤️

[@drewherring5849]

Your channel has been a huge help to me because I want to learn more about painting and get better at doing it. Thank you!

[@pamlee6164]

Mother of Pearl!!!! this is magnificent! It’s exactly what I am working on. But not this detailed. Thinking I might have to rethink this.

[@evapelletier2559]

I don’t know how you are not a world renowned artist! Like this is better than some of the old masters!

[@shirleyfargo455]

First time I have watched you and learned so much on how to paint grass. Will use the information today! Thanks!

[@lynettebagley2193]

Thank you for these videos. This one is exactly the help I need to finish a piece I am working on. Love the way you teach.

[@IsabellaCastile-y8y]

Beautifully done! Very realistic! If I were one of those deers in he painting, I would have jumped up and down in the grass!

[@katsaurier]

Du bist sehr inspirierend! Deine Kunst ist außergewöhnlich gut ,Love it

[@anthonycalver]

Thank you for this. I'm just starting out in the world of painting and videos like this are a huge help in demystifying the various techniques needed to produce good pieces.

[@lenbawden5095]

Love the golden rod, you nailed it.

[@loveisnow2]

Yes! I subscribed and want to see many more tutorials. You are the only person youtube I have subbed, that`s how much I love your style and painting. My whole family paints but I am a beginner lol All your paintings are of things I love and painting them is going to be exciting. I also love Peregrin Falcons and have painted them in the past. I would love to see you paint a few types of predators and also a buffalo, even a white one..wow. White animals are difficult so it would make a great tutorial. Thanks so so much for sharing your gifts!

[@cynthiawicklow5942]

You have an amazing talent for realism! ❤️

[@diannabeck1391]

You can just smell the grass!!! Awesome..

[@geri1864]

This is just what I needed. Thank you Chuck!

[@khanhha4364]

I love all of your pictures. Amazing!!!

[@Debbyiamme]

This is a very good video for me. It's what I'm struggling with. I painted a horse real good and the one thing that I'm having trouble with is the grass. I may have gone too bight on the green. But I sure am going to watch this again and even again if I have to. I painted this one for my very good friend who worked with horses that he loved. The hardest part is that he's a very good painter, himself. So, that makes me feel intimidated. LOL I"ll keep on trying; I can't give up. Thank you so much for this Chuck Black. I love the deer here. It's another great painting of yours. Love it.

[@melissapopejoy269]

I went from sideways strokes looking like I was back in 5th grade to a meadow vaguely resembling grass and a reason to continue. THANK YOU!!!

[@GraemeHuntDesign]

Thank you for this video! I always struggle with grass and waver between not enough detail and too much. But when it comes down to it, there really is no quick and easy way... it is just building up many layers.

[@spyuggy]

Beautiful painting Chuck and a great tutorial, I think I have the patience for this, I really liked the stag in the background.

[@geri1864]

Beautiful painting Chuck

[@paintingsbyjamescooper4330]

Thanks Chuck for the video, one thing I learned is patience pays off in the end.

[@dmclem1942]

I love watching you paint god gave you a wonderful gift

[@dewarfinch1]

Wonderful grass. - I can almost smell it.

[@WandaMartingaga]

This makes me want to get into painting🙉

[@tinacolbourneart1091]

This makes me want to give up painting....just kidding 🤣. He's amazing though.

[@meganfisher831]

Thanks a whole, whole lot for this video. This is going to make me a real long ways. I've been an artist in CGI for a number of years now, but painting.. It's something else. You don't get an undo button and things I feel the "master" off laugh and kick me in the shins. Grass is one of those things in physical media.

[@chrissycanvasart]

Your a lovely lad , and I've enjoyed you channel for a long while now. Always a pleasure to watch your videos 👏👍🇬🇧🎨

[@gracep944]

Is nice to say all your process thank you for your time.

stunning painting and great advice

[@anitakhan9182]

Hi! It would be great if you could also mention, during the process, when you work in acrylics and at what point you switch to oils if you do at all. Or is it entirely done in one medium? Thank you.

[@alliejacksonart]

Beautiful work and really helpful tips! Thank you!

[@seojacksonvilleusa]

Great video. Question. How are you keeping so much fluid paint on your small brush? thanks in advance for your reply.

[@fred5968]

Congratulations on accomplishing a wonderful work of art, Chuck. I think this is one of your best paintings. It's certainly one of my favorites. Questions: Were the grasses painted with acrylics or oils (or maybe both)? I know a liner brush works great, but to me, it's not easy to get the paint to just the right consistency for thin blades of grass and other fine details. How do you do it?

[@eeva2000]

Mineral spirits? You never got a reply to this, huh.

[@golfradar77]

chuck, your're the BOMB buddy! First minute of video, could you explain the "setup"? Like when determining where the grass will be; using different brushes. You see to us(me?ha) that is a technique also that I'd love to learn from you. Also the use of oil over acrylic on your paintings ( a no-no as you know in many communities right) well I'm trying out oils and Golden's OPEN acrylics that act like oils. Your thoughts. Love your style and teaching abilities!

[@catherinegreenup4608]

Beautiful as always with REALLY good advice

[@gloriabrothers5508]

G😊😄 d aftern😀😁 n, I thought U might be amused by my method of painting an entire scene, (on top the basic block-in) with a t😁😆 th brush. This particular scene lent itself well to that method; a buffalo standing amidst tall waving prairie grass. The t😃😀 th brush was quite scrubbed down, with bristles sticking out in all angles, so gave a random assortment of thin blades, & buffalo hair. Love your videos!!! Thank you S0 much for sharing. Gloria
