Wanna save real money. Do your practice work on cardboard. I visit my favorite dumpsters and reclaim cardboard, cut it to the sizes I need, seal it with matte medium, and paint away. Cardboard is about the right value so you won't have to tone it before painting. I use my cardboard for quick studies or to work out answers to questions about painting this or that. Once you've solved your problem, you can easily move up to canvas pads, canvas panels or stretched canvas.

For me a a very significant breakthrough was learning to use desaturated colors and allowing myself to loose edges. I was always trying to paint shapes/edges/details that I knew were there but couldn’t actually see. If the thing you’re painting looks like a dark messy blob paint a dark messy blob, if you can’t see where one object ends and another begins, don’t try to clear that up for the viewer - paint what you see.

I think my biggest break throughs were 1. not to outline everything, to prevent the cartoon problem , 2. paint lights and darks (values), not features or shapes, 3. use desaturated colours, broken color and limited color palettes, it put me more on track of realism. Ironically, most of this didn't come from paid DVDs or courses at all, but rather from a handful of master studies (Rembrandt, Bouguereau).

I was really intimidated when I started with oils, especially because its expensive and I'm a beginner I was scared that I'll waste paint or not make the most of it. So I switched to using a mixed medium of watercolor and acrylic White for practice. It HELPED WONDERS. Especially using this medium On wood , It really gave me an oil feel. Eventually this made oils easier for me. I also feel like choosing the right reference images with good lighting teaches you soo much. I pushed myself to paint everyday and gave myself a time limit so I don't get hung up on one painting. I think its super important that you don't fall in love with one piece so much. But constantly add more Complexity with each painting you make. I actually Started watching your videos at the time when I started. If I watch a video of you of painting a portrait, I paint a different Portrait with you. By doing this I was able to break down the image into forms and understand lighting better. I've Improved so much Just by doing this in a week. You're like an ideal guide for passionate people who pick up things in their own with regularity and practice! Thankyou!

I've been drawing for some 27 years to this point. I am now 35. So the basis for all, is a good foundation of drawing. I've found that there are no narrow gateways, no little doors one could walk through to have the thing "nailed" for the first time, when one has not established first the lore of drawing. E.g. at portraits the underlying structure must be solid, while having some or quite deep knowledge of anatomy to achieve it. The second thing... oil paint. Well, I think that it is the most wonderful medium of all! But things could get very eschew, if one does not keep the rules you mention and know so well. First comes a good foundation by drawing, be it in blocking in the head, or proportion of the bodies. When John S. Sargent wasn't content with a structure, especially the head, he had scraped away almost two weeks of work! One could imagine the frustration of the sitter not only the artist's... And after a vast knowledge of drawing, comes the appropriate value (squinting is quite a great tool!) estimation, and laying it on the canvas. One must keep these points in the mind no matter the medium you paint or draw with.

1. Finished is better than perfect, I learn more from several mediocre paintings than one never-ending project. 2.check several references and analyse the subject with sketches, notes and little test paintings, I should work out a "road map" before I start 3.I should go actively seek out critique, even from non-artists, during the painting process. Having someone less emotionally involved look at my work, helps to identify what's not working.

Really good information . Great communication skills Chris. All of which I’ve had to learn. Drawing daily is the key. One big issue is planning. What do you want to be when you grow up? Begin with the end in mind. For example I want to be as good as Sargent then back track all the things you need to do to be that good. Painting live , drawing live just with a sketch book. You know how many people you can meet just by sketching and people asking what your doing. How do you build a reputation. One principle I believe in is law of large numbers. More activity you have they more the result. Every no you get means you are closer to a yes. Unfortunately their are no short cuts . You have to experience it. I totally agree on coaching. You need a coach. One teacher I had for years would fly to New York a couple times a year to meet with her mentor, a very famous artist( painted four Presidents hang in White House)in his 80’s. He would critique her work. Gradually he started to put her name out and she started getting big commissions from his word. She walked the walk now she is really good. I could go on for hours.

I don’ t paint with paint by the way, i make images of wool( felt). I also have a handicap, I have blind spots in my eyes and can only see blur. This tutorials help me ‘ see” what I actually did not see anymore. But I remember it from the days that my eyes were normal. So thank you.

Perfect advice Chris , Absolutely spot on!!! I laughed as everything... literally everything, you said I have done. I have recently joined your Patreon site, and enjoy your way of simplifying everything. My greatest breakthrough was seeing shapes and values !!! Once you can see the shapes,darks, lights you realise they create the form, and you can forget about drawing the details. Squinting, practice, canvas pad and make mistakes... learn from mistakes. As you have said also in this video, don't go buying every gadget and brush advertised... use basics until you are comfortable, then you wont feel pressure to achieve a masterpiece. One more great tip that helped me ( as people normally start painting faces that are familiar to them) was to turn the image upside down and look at the image from the neck up. You will then not look at the eyes, nose etc , but you will see them as shapes. Its magical when you realise that you have got something akin to a likeness without actually paying attention to the finer details. Lastly enjoy being YOUR OWN artist !!! You can have a painting that is perfect likeness, but get 4 people to offer an opinion and each one will say something different.
