Hi, I am the son of two artists and began painting in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia before I could walk. I was a rare combination of artist and athlete so I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to play football for USC. I left the team my sophomore year to focus on painting and filmmaking, applying the same focus and discipline from my football career to my art. I primarily work in oils, and spend most free days painting "en plein air" in my new home of Sarasota Florida.

Paint coach, thank you so so much for putting the time and effort in these videos on top of all the painting / teaching you do. You’ve helped transform me as an artist and you explain things in the most easy-to-understand way.

[@katemccarthy2463]

Your tutorials make so much sense to me. How to go about starting a painting. Where to find subjects to paint, how to find values. What to look for when something doesn't look right with a painting, and if so change it or start something new and go back to it at a later stage. I have bought your painting course and can't wait to really get going. Other stuff keeps taking up too much of my time. I need to plan my time better. Anyway, thank you for all your tips and suggestions

[@sinisterd109]

Okay but I can’t believe what an absolute genius this man is!

[@julessmithpaints]

The dropping out of colors in atmospheric perspective depth of field. Was insightful.

[@Willow_Arnold]

This might be your best one yet!! Ill be watching it a few more times im sure.

[@011CJ]

I do a lot of photography and I do not have a single picture that is a true representation of what I saw Thanks for the vid

[@Paint-and-plants]

I stumbled upon a video of yours months ago while I was looking for painting tip videos. Since then I’ve been consistently watching you! You’re so easy to learn from - idk if it’s your voice or your paint style or your language, but I can *easily* interpret what you mean. Thank you for passing on your knowledge ♥️

[@lorachristian7030]

I recently became a subscriber of yours, I love the incredible amount of information you pack into your videos, and find your information extremely helpful as well as interesting. Your sense of humor is great, and adds a happy mood to learning. I've been taking oil painting classes for a few years now, and find your tips very helpful!

[@Jonathanmccallum1]

New oil painter here, thank you for the straightforward and encouraging steps. Really appreciated!

[@paintcoach]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nolimittolearning4414]

I’m new to painting, art, craft etc… everything all at once, but you are so right, I made things and then wasn’t sure about what I created, so then over worked it, many times. The ones where I stopped at that point where I wasn’t happy and left it, came back weeks or even months later, that is when they turned out much better. I think whilst working on a piece our minds are running so fast, and without knowing it drains the ability and creativeness. A break works wonders 😊

[@travisnobleart]

09:42 I really like what you did here with the water! Thanks for sharing your struggles.

[@blangkcanvas]

Thank you Paint Coach!! Appreciate the knowledge you share.

[@chinchillamdgamer]

I just wanna say thanks :3 Thanks SO MUCH. I've been watching art 🎨 vids to learn for 2 years now, and since I began looking at artists sharing their creative processes like "drawingwithWaffles" and Kasey Golden (Or Casey? Dunno) it's so amazing to see this same creative process explained directly to me. I've looked around a lot for classes online, both paid and in KZbin and nothing ever got me 100%, they didn't explain what I wanted. Now there's so many channels, of course took me forever to find yours but it's like, it's as if i found EXACTLY what I was looking for. I've only watched a handful of videos now but i go omg THAT'S HOW, and I also get a lot of reassurance. I'm just really excited i found your (it seems many teachers are involved, which is cool too) channel :3 Greetings from Mexico

[@alixbird3987]

This was unreasonably good thank you

[@charmandaz]

Bayfront park! Knew it as soon as I saw your painting. Love your videos and tutorials, inspiring me to get back into it and continue learning!

[@julessmithpaints]

Super cool. Love the way you think.

[@abhignathota9304]

Thank you Paint Couch..you have helped me a lot in understanding and getting better in art. You are my inspiration💕

[@paintcoach]

Happy to help!

[@claires9100]

Thanks for taking us along for the whole process. Super duper helpful.

[@chau1139]

I love these kinds of vlog videos !!

[@MerakiPainter]

This was so detailed! Ty

[@jameslabs1]

Always clear and to the point. Thanks

[@deborahszabo4955]

Hello. I really enjoy your painting process. It's nice to be able to see the mistakes, and how you correct them. I first started in watercolor, and now am learning to oil paint.

[@joseantonio5580]

Thank you very much. Very interesting and informative to know about the process.

[@Hash3r]

Beautiful composition and great artistic point of view for landscape artwork… thank you for sharing it with us … amazing work 👍🏼

[@martimajor4766]

I have watched this one several times. I am a visual learner. So watching you sketch and put down paint is so valuable. Even with no volume (so as not to wake up my husband or my dog!) That is a request: Do a PAINT TALK video with no talking, ok maybe just an intro... Please and thank you so much!

[@marcyperrier5255]

I really like this painting!!!!

[@mn5900]

amazing, thanks

[@paintcoach]

Glad you like it!

[@goforitpainting]

Very interesting and useful. Thank you for sharing.

[@moch.abdulraufkristanto1268]

Hi... Thank you for sharing painting lesson. Your lesson is applicable and do-able.

[@patzwarg4837]

Chris, see you posting new videos, so you must have weathered that horrible hurricane. Was worried for you. On another note, I ordered some Rosemary & Co brushes. I can't tell you how much I love them! Makes such a difference. Thank you for such good advice. Pat

[@sammijane1640]

Thank you!

[@Morgane.de.Back25]

Thank you for your videos, you inspire me everyday, and cheer me up when i hit an art block phase or a Bad painting. You make me want to fight for my art

[@paintcoach]

You are so welcome!

[@ChooseTruthAlways]

Great observations on what can easily get one stuck from moving forward in a painting. Thanks very much!🌈👌👌👌 ii really appreciate how you paint with such confident strokes your chosen subject! ✨ I wonder if you would kindly make a vídeo on how to,work in a more flowy loose manner.

[@neu-ter]

thank you so much

[@paintcoach]

Welcome 😊

[@stephenfularz7573]

Good painting imformation.

[@sonalisarkar7329]

I love your all videos. Thanks ❤️

[@bronsonasmr2270]

Nice video that area by new pass is nice!

[@egewerner8225]

thanks for the effort in that videos paint coach. i’ve been painting oils for like 2 months and i am learning too much from you. unfortunately still struggling with my brush choices. while painting wet on wet my hard brush scrapes the under paint and makes the canvas colour visible. i will try the soft brushes soon

[@kyrie0033]

It's a Bouguereaurization of landscape painting ^.^

[@garywebster5917]

Thanks for all your great teaching. Hope you and your family/friends came through hurricane Ian ok? Gary, Jensen Beach?

[@echojk1312]

The hardest thing to do painting outside is to place myself 😅 i need a shadow and it s tricky to find sometimes and i cant invest into an umbrella rn

[@elsiegreer826]

Hi Paint Coach!! I don’t know when you actually get the time to paint so much when you are also producing such excellent videos. You are a natural teacher and present yourself so humbly. No hiding what you do to correct mistakes, etc. This is what impresses me - besides your beautiful paintings! Keep up the good work. There are so many of us painters out here that truly appreciate you.

[@martimajor4766]

Could you post where I can get the craft paper note pad you use? Much appreciation for your teaching. 🥰

[@ghianixart]

Hello painting coach, small chance you’ll see this but I have a question. What materials do you usually bring when you paint outside? I’ve always been so intimidated by the thought of painting outside because of all the materials I’d need to bring so if you answered this in a video or just a comment I’d greatly appreciate it :))

[@sicjes1]

I love all your videos. Such great information. I am curious though, I paint with acrylic and have been learning for a year now. Everyone says oil paint takes a long time to dry, so when you are out there on the scene painting, how do you transport your work around when you are done for the session without ruining your work?

[@jonroads8281]

Hi, love this video, it really gave me back my mojo after a painting today failed to the point I scraped it back 😂 I'm looking to get a Plein air kit, and I love your little easel and box - just wondering what brand it is and how you set it up?

[@Willow_Arnold]

I think i know because I too was recently shopping. I think is setup is a Strada easel. looks like nice stuff. Correct me if im wrong please!

[@jonroads8281]

@@Willow_Arnold ah cheers mate. I have heard of that brand and it's one that's on my radar 👍

[@marlan6431]

I like the small painting on kraft paper. Scott Christiansen teaches this. Do you make your own bound kraft books?

[@wcwindom56]

what brand is that plein air box?

[@sp9138]

Thanks Coach

[@paintcoach]

You bet!

[@Simplysu552]

hi, can I ask? when you do your small studies, with oil, do you thin the paint down? what about putting one colour over the other without it them turning to mud.

[@mona2242]

Hi, is it possible for a good painting not to have a focal point? ie….one that our eyes roam throughout the composition. I did a good value sketch of roofs from an open window. The sunlight hits a bit all over except the window sill, where my values are medium to darkest. help!

[@raulbudusan]

First 😊👍

[@paintcoach]

🎉

[@paigelittle3153]

What is your Instagram?

[@DannySabraArt]

Cool to see the whole process. I’d like to change my composition more like you she’s in this video. Very cool

[@adalinemcgirt6862]

Youre the best! Thank you for all the links you gave in the description !

[@joeljahnke9000]

Thank you for your generosity in taking all the time to set up cameras and organize your videos. This information, your thought process, how you develop your compositions is really more important to me than brush techniques, color mixing, really all the rest. How an artist prepares and develops their ideas to paint is so important, thank you for sharing!

[@callmedeno]

I've always wondered how people keep those oil sketches/studies dry when travelling?

[@andradegilmar]

This video was so instructive. Well done!

[@larajohnston2892]

I really enjoy watching your videos Christopher and hearing your advice on oil paintings. I have never actually tried oil painting myself, and I don't intend to start any time soon. It seems like a good thing to get into when I'm super old and basically dead.

[@chrisgriffith1573]

VERY GOOD episode.

[@dvango2023]

Really helpful video. You talk about things that aren’t covered in most videos. Thanks!

[@paintcoach]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mimmimok]

What a beautiful paint you can create. Thank you so much for lessons.

[@brianweaver8024]

Love your channel! Been trying to find the paint box you use for plain air, can you tell me what it is please? Thanks much!

[@austinturer7372]

What is that brown you are start as a base?
