PAINT TALK: Oil painting EXERCISES for beginners

[@joyceheddy6321]

I would love to see you do the value exercise you talked about.

[@paintcoach]

you got it

[@sapienproductions]

I second that. Would be really interesting to see how you use 12 raw colors/colours unmixed on a painting and how those values interact.

[@Amg-789]

Joyce Heddy and Matt Smart - yes and yes

[@prestongary145]

not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can watch all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my gf for the last days xD

[@emmanuelgrey1689]

@Preston Gary definitely, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself :D

[@roserousan6411]

This painting has so much Accuracy . It's so realistic and so beautiful ❤

[@paintcoach]

Thanks!

[@kunalsutar3946]

I can't believe you are giving so much of information for free, there is so many things being discussed here and so much to learn from you.

[@23stylie]

Paint Coach. After watching your videos I occasionally end up doing jumping jacks .

[@MariaRevArt]

Love the idea of the pure colours only as values exercise. I vote for a video on it.

[@lostlatinlover]

Love your comment on getting lose in tiny details. I can’t wrap my head on the amount of detail some painting videos show. I would go crazy doing that much detail!! Even on portraits I don’t focus on tiny details.

[@paintcoach]

I agree!

[@l.m.messing2337]

Yes, yes, yes! Please do a video using colors without mixing to better see values!

[@tadghbentley317]

Thank you! Your videos are incredibly helpful, I too would love to see the color/value exercise you mentioned.

[@keelobrown4991]

I love that you actually give exercises instead of just giving us the concepts and sending us on our way lol. Other channels are just like "okay this is what values are, this is how they work, bye good luck" lol

[@modernchic5555]

Definitely want to see more on value painting. You’re a GREAT Paint Coach!!!!

[@paintcoach]

Thanks! Will do

[@tiiulausmaa2427]

Thanks! I'll definitely give those exercises a try!

[@jamesparsons1192]

Yep. would love a video on painting with colour from the tube to recognise value. I have lots of trouble recognising that vastly different colours are the same value.

[@chrissy1310]

Value does all the work and color gets all the credit. I am working a stream with grass, trees and a red tent and distant landscape shadows together, on a black canvas. Super challenging. It's coming to life though. I am using acrylics. Of course it appears like dusk, which is cool, not day time. Lessons lessons

[@Joy-zu1ec]

The video on using straight color to understand value. Did you make one??... Yes...please do. Would help a lot

[@klimatsabeltand4780]

I want to see that value excersice you were talking about. Seems really cool!

[@mayaboban]

Me too 😊 would love to see more...

[@claires9100]

You taught me about value. I value that.

[@alissasitihaura3567]

Ohh yess please do the video for value exercise with random color combination!!

[@paintcoach]

You got it!

[@hoppingwren]

Yes please do the value exercises for us!

[@SteveSandersonArt]

some more great advice here, been painting in acrylics for years but moving back to oils.. thanks man.

[@paintcoach]

Glad to help

[@greggoreo6738]

Highest respect and commendation for your skill level as BOTH a craftsman and a superb instructor who's patient and positively motivating. Respectfully submitted for your consideration Gregg Oreo Long Beach CA Etats Unis

[@t.j.2701]

"try painting with your non dominant hand" Me, a painter that switches between hands and usually has multiple brushes in each: nailed that exercise without even trying

[@susanstopoulos]

I would love to see the value exercise video, please. Especially the one using all of the colors. 😊🎨

[@pranjalshelar3830]

You makes it look like easy but it is 😢😢... U r an amazing artist ❤

[@ARTYCOATY]

Great art! You gave me a lot of inspiration. I learned a lot from your ART. Please continue to share your wonderful works. I am waiting for your work. I will support you.

[@paintcoach]

Thank you so much 😀

[@ArtHayven]

i'd like to see the color excercise

[@paintcoach]

will do!

[@sakeenahevans6875]

Yes please a video on using different colors but using values would be very helpful, thank you!

[@annmarielopiccolo-carlsen7263]

Yes, I would enjoy and find it of great benefit to do a tutorial on using a colorful palette to demonstrate values. It would visually demonstrate your point about if the values are correct, color is secondary. Thanks!

[@Rollingstonearts]

Your really inspire me to start with oils😁 thanks...lots of love from Kerala

[@ruthjohnston-wood5541]

Excellent video as always with so much info and great ideas to improve painting technique .Patreon channel superb, still wished I lived in Florida to go to weekly lessons if they existed ! But I’ll take this as a close second ! Keep up the great work please chris ! and thanks .

[@motlba]

It would be great to see a video with a values exercise. Thanks always Chris.

[@sethhammock3602]

Yes, make a video of you doing that. Thanks.

[@DanielL143]

Great tips and exercises. Thank-you.

[@MrTwocide]

Yes do the multi color value painting exercise!

[@ggreen5943]

Your advice is very very good!

[@sanaathegreat2324]

Yes, please do the value exercise!!

[@PrinceKonganoor]

Hai... very beautiful painting.. thank you....🎨❤️

[@megangrogg9164]

I would love to see the colorful value exercise

[@davidupton3186]

Hi from the UK. Yes please to the multicolour value exercise!

[@paintcoach]

Coming soon!

[@susanwong6471]

Please do the value exercise video- literally all of your videos are packed with valuable information, I feel like stumble upon a gold mine 💕

[@claires9100]

This lesson was very valuable.

[@lurklingX]

I’m totally going to try that color exercise. But I would also love to see how you approach it yourself!

[@BarbrajoanOriginals]

Helpful video, Chris. Thanks for sharing what you know. Excellent portrait, as usual. Tallahassee

[@paintcoach]

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@TI_Ted]

yeah - please may we see this done , many thanks

[@bckgaming9976]

Hey very helpful tbh , glad you made a channel thank you, I’d say could you do one on how to make things in jars, example :roses in a cup of water , something like that. Also another , how to make a sunset reflect off of water , just some ideas , Ik I made this comment on a video 3 weeks ago so I’m commenting on this one since it’s more relevant

[@charleswhitley4347]

Thank you!

[@denis_emanuel]

could you please do a painting showcase.. where u show us all your paintings.. from the first one to the last one :D

[@vsekits]

Awesome!

[@imaxinebrown694]

Thanks for sharing

[@digitalArtform]

Could you discuss where to draw the line between detail that should be more accurately captured vs details that should only be approximated or conveyed by impression.

[@emmanuelperaltapaintings6371]

Superb oil portrait painting tutorial exercise!❤

[@paintcoach]

Thanks!

[@emmanuelperaltapaintings6371]

@@paintcoach most welcome.❤

[@mariannedickson3840]

Question: How should I properly clean my pallette?

[@tanyamartin1183]

I use a glass palette (i just took the glass out of a picture frame) and i use a scraper with a razor blade to scrape off the paint... I'm not sure what kind of palette you have, but this is what I've found works best for me

[@mariannedickson3840]

I was thinking of trying that. I use a wood pallette and have hard chunks of useless dried paint that I just keep adding to. There's gotta be a better way!

[@bjn7242]

Hi Chris, I love your video's. Could you explain how to use the Loomis head in portrait panting? Best regards, Sebastian from Amsterdam

[@ie.osamaa407]

Really amazing content... 👌

[@paintcoach]

Thank you 🙌

[@alexrader5822]

Do a vid on exercises for intermediate or advanced painters!!!!!

[@henriquejanuario881]

I'd like that you recommend some exercices about how to do proportional drawings, right now I'm practicing same size drawings but I feel that I need to practicing diferent size drawings...Thanks for any help!

[@minduniverse4506]

Your videos have helped me understand value a lot. Thanks for that. Also I often run out of titanium white and where I live oil paint is scarce. Can you do a painting without using white paint? Thanks again.

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Could you make a video on people with multiple art interests with less time. How to narrow down to one medium? I like oils, pastels, watercolour etc

[@paintcoach]

If you keep going you will naturally start pulling away with one of them and I recommend you choose that one

[@euscieu4246]

So I have a question that I’m hoping you can help with :) I have ultramarine blue, burnt umber, cadmium red, cadmium yellow, and titanium white. The reds, blues, and yellows I can mix with those colors are not as bright as I would like. I can get them to be very light but not bright. Do you have any specific shades of red, blue, and yellow that are bright enough to be able to make bright (almost neon) colors for things like flowers and birds? I don’t need these colors often but when I do, I want to be able to make them from a “basic bright palette” rather than going to buy a specific tube of paint every time.

[@user-mf1rz9mn3l]

Can you talk about making time to paint, how many hours a day you paint, Like the logistical aspects of painting and motivation?

[@paintcoach]

I sure can!

[@akshatjain2087]

can u plz tell how much linseed oil should we use in bw 2nd layer. and can i mix it with paint thinner and solvent free mixture?

[@frankovitchgrimowski4950]

I wonder if there has been a compilation of sayings like the one you shared today “ value does all the work, color gets all the credit”? I would like to print it and post it in my studio. Thanks again coach.

[@paintcoach]

that's a good idea

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Excellent

[@paintcoach]

Thanks!

[@jrlakin370]

Please do the multi colour pic 👍

[@brittanym.greene871]

This has been so helpful. I've worked with watercolors and have always been curious about oils so I'm really enjoying your channel. Is this piece you're painting in the background done with the primary colors? Love it

[@talenthunt589]

I like it

[@kylietruowl]

This is wonderful. I’m a new subscriber. So should your reference be the same size as your final picture more or less for a portrait? I tried to do one using a picture from my phone on to a 7x11 - not so great. Thank you so much for your work!

[@IrwinPeraltaArt]

I remember taping up a reference with blue painters tape and trying to paint things the same size. Do you consider this to be "sight size" painting? I painted monochrome for years to learn value.

[@paintcoach]

Yep! i used sight size for this

[@MonkeynessTv]

Value vs color got me.

[@joanbauman1571]

I would like to see the value painting also

[@natureworldarts2644]

Helpful 👍😊😊👍

[@coziecake]

I have a question if anyone can answer. I bought some art supplies off the internet because that’s what we have to do nowadays, and when i got my brushes the packaging says not to use mineral spirits or turpentine to care for the brushes and to use a odorless brush cleaner.. and i bought odorless mineral spirits. I tried to google this stuff and I can’t find anything that says like what will happen if i use mineral spirits on the brushes and what other odorless brush cleaner i could use instead, can anyone help? Does it really matter if i use the odorless mineral spirits?

[@Belloojonla]

Sir I am having difficulty on how to apply pastel and when painting with oil it be has if my dark is is messing up the light colour ,should start from light first

[@corpopunk]

Helpful but I mostly learn from just going at it

[@a-72-mestrysumitsubhash31]

How to mix skin tones for beginners

[@bubeni_]

TY for another one! :) I tried to paint quickly, but it was just awful. My teacher said that maybe it's just my "style" to paint slow and patiently. Could it be so? :О

[@williammcmanus7448]

I would find some “value” in seeing a video on the exercise

[@kades28]

FIGHT ON!!

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

How do I paint daily in 30 minutes after my day job? I tried mimicking oils before with gouache....but I hated the medium...I wish oil paints are available like gouache. Just setting up paints.... painting....cleaning will take at least an hour

[@paintcoach]

Funny you ask this bc I am toying with the idea of having a tier on my Patreon for 30 min paintings. Still trying to figure out if enough people would be interested in that

[@_gabby_2.0]

I have a question! Im a beginner and i buy oil paint! But when i test it ,its very dry and i can’t paint:( Please answer im so scared

[@_gabby_2.0]

What can i use to solve the problem

[@sarachauvot339]

Make the video!!!

[@roqakhalil5137]

Instagram?

[@amarin8600]

I get it , it's called paint "talk" and not paint 'show'. I appreciate this channel to an extent. I know you probably do more of this on Patreon...but the amount of artists always saying 'follow' me on Patreon'. 3 - 4 concepts of painting in one 10 minute VLOG without actually seeing one full concept (examples...paint with left hand, paint for half an hour). I don't know what I'm trying to say. There's nothing wrong with going slower, one concept per VLOG. Keep it simple

[@ChrystalFaith]

I prefer his quick talk and skipping across the water. I have been an artist since I was 4 and a pro since 13 when the professor had us do a poster for a real business where I got paid via the barter system (free pizza and drinks). But I have been mostly not being the artist I really am. So keep the firehose going, Paint Couch! As for the others, take notes, think about it on your own, look up these concepts from other artists going in-depth, watch his other vids that go into those topics... AND, center on one and just ASK for (him to do) it!

[@WHEREVER-I-ROAM]

PUSH PULL THE PAINT👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@PaintingtheLight]

This is great!!! Thank you so much for sharing these excercises!!

[@paintcoach]

Glad you like them!
