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.

I love this; very impressed with the clouds and the final touches of the sand!

[@blackandwhite1756]

love how the subtle waves on the sea matches the subtle breeze on the flag!

[@mikeinengland9982]

Very impressive. I particularly like how you are able to 'see' a picture when you're out and about or in your photos. I find it difficult to do that. Also, I really liked that video where you explained how a painter needs to focus on one main object and ensure it's the biggest part of the painting.

I love listening to and learning from you. You’re very down to earth and not too hyper to listen to either. Just calm and relaxed. I love it. I love putting on your videos to go to sleep and hate when I wake up to someone else when I forget to just put your playlist on. Otherwise, KZbin won’t just keep playing you but will play other people too. And they wake me up!!!

[@daleshawn1910]

I love your paintings and videos. Thank you so much for sharing so much information with us.

[@hmmmph3578]

What a gorgeous painting. Wow.

[@MoxieArt]

I love these videos! I'm a professional painter with a full time day job to make ends meet. I watch at work and this helps me to learn as I work my day job. Thank you!

[@rachelscottart6908]

So much useful advice in here, amazed you can cram so much into a single video. And the puzzle analogy - you make all of it make sense! Thank you! And I love the finished piece; reminds me of Edward Hopper's work - it's awesome.

[@angelicagolindano2539]

I love this painting! This has been my favorite video of watching and listening to you tackle a project.

[@carolynderricks3226]

I really appreciate how loyal to are to oil painting! I’m finding myself being pulled back to acrylics for alla prima plein air work however. Maybe I can just do oils in my studio until I get more confident! Transporting wet canvases is still a puzzle to me!

[@downtherabbithole9143]

I’m working in acrylics and find so many helpful tips in your tutorials that can apply to varied mediums. Thanks!

[@daleshawn1910]

Thank you for sharing. Love your channel.

[@giuliacortina.9765]

[@amandawalker33]

Such valuable information. You are my favorite artist channel.

[@paintcoach]

Wow, thank you!

[@stevehubbard8567]

I had a couple of years of lessons 40 years ago. Just retired. You are highly gifted at painting, and communication. Third video, and I heard every word. Also, I liked your brush cleaning comment from Draw, Mix, Paint which I thought was really good, when I viewed Mark Carders videos. Thank you. P.S. I hate brush cleaning, too.

[@steffens.1734]

Could you explain? Paint coach isn't cleaning the brush?

[@dangrossheider7304]

Best I've seen you do. Excellent!

[@duantorruellas716]

Amazing piece , the flag came out great. 👌

[@joycehabegger5492]

I wish that you would show your palette more. I am an absolute beginner and I am having a hard time judging the "thinning" of the paint and how much paint I should put on my palette to start a painting. I am loving your videos and hope to join your patreon page very soon. I want to watch more of the KZbin first to get grounded.

[@spiraltigerart815]

Thank you! This was incredible to watch. I also have no idea about color theory. It just happens. Hard to explain. I learned a lot from this! Subbed and liked. 👍

[@sp9138]

Thank you so much coach I love your videos

[@meganruchwatercolors7186]

Hello Chris, I just discovered your channel, and I absolutely love your style and work! I am a watercolor and acrylic painter. I love acrylics, but they dry way too fast. I have been using Golden so flat, which is a cool look, but I want to try water-based oils. I believe I am in for a challenge, but your videos are making it look not too difficult.

[@АннаВячеславовна-й8д]

Awesome painting✨

[@catherinesurtees882]

So very talented

[@davidalpizar410]

You painting every day 😍😳 you're rich

[@jmbingham3]

Siesta Key has some of the whitest sand in the area! Siesta Key Oyster bar is the best!

[@nordicpink]

This was a good lesson

[@danthomas6587]

Nice job.

[@bhaveshsingh9021]

Man i love your videos !!!

[@Polecat54941]

You mix colour the same way I do, And I thought I was weird (still may be)

[@roxieweaver4048]

Got so much from this, thx

[@sttarch5150]

That lack of shadow under the surfboard was really distracting me. I was so relieved when you finally did it in the end.

[@trevorowen865]

I like the curve of the waves , the board and the steps leading the eye to the lifeguard hut , and the sand looking lighter further away [like sky does ?] is that because sand is basically glass particles ?

[@nonniestretch9056]

Andrew thank you for sharing your knowledge of oil painting . Also is there any way you could slow now your explanations as I am trying to write it down. Have you produced any books on oil painting.

[@MarkSmith-eu3hf]

Nice one!

[@lisa-gayle9939]

Nice!

[@davidalpizar410]

Ilove the American flag😍

[@maggles1020]

How many brushes do you use? Do you have a brush for the different colors, or do you clean the brush after applying a new color?

[@KFrogLLC95]

How much working time is this? How many days between sessions? I just started oils and I’m not sure how to time things. I’ve been doing acrylic and it’s been a big shift

[@steffens.1734]

Hi, what is you brush size? maybe 10?

[@deaconseptember2002]

Venice Beach???

[@michaelbutler2053]

You say your using painted linen and not canvas? Seems......reasonable!

[@davidalpizar410]

Best motivation is money why u don't say. Anything about money is everything

[@davidalpizar410]

If you have money you paint😁😀😝🌇🗽

[@kirstenhutchings5409]

Did you fart? Am I crazy?
