I recently found your art classes on KZbin. It was one of the happiest FINDS I have ever made. Not sure how ANYONE could ever give you a thumbs down. Thank you so very much for sharing your talent with me. I have wowed my friends with my humble attempts to follow your teaching. Thank you so much!

[@ConnieB143]

OMG Chuck, you have out done yourself again!! Love Love Love the seascapes!! Those are my favorite beside underwater paintings. Can't wait to try this one. You are so talented!! Thank you so much once again for sharing your talent with us!

[@chuckblackart]

Thanks Connie I appreciate it!!!

[@dougieanderson2123]

You make it look so easy, the mark of a talented artist.

[@horrorfan24]

Your work is just stunning. You inspire me to work harder at my own paintings. Thanks so much. Another excellent video

[@robertcanfield7209]

This is spell binding . Looks so easy Real talent The product is a sousing thing. The seances are in your mind It's what you see.

[@janetmoore2693]

Ok. I have finished watching your tutorial and I am amazed at your talent. It is truly your calling. The detail that you go into is what really makes you stand apart from other artists. Incredible !

[@pandaom7902]

WoW....This is fantastic....Awesome instructions. Thanks for sharing your art.

[@marshaforsberg6889]

This is the one I thought I didn’t get a free print try, it came up while I’d been writing down the colors you used last time, & missed it. Very worth watching just for the clouds!

[@janetmoore2693]

I have always been interested in doing a painting of the surf. With waves crashing all around. Thank you for sharing.

[@joycepayne3242]

I am just in awe! Watching your tutorial of all the details you take for this gorgeous seascape. You are a very talented artist, I could never have your patience to finish this piece, but would love to. I only use acrylics when I paint. Just had to tell you how great you are! I have watched most all of your videos and a great fan! Take care.

[@chuckblackart]

Thank you! I really appreciate all of that.

[@xIRISHxCARxBOMBx]

I really like this, and now I have to try painting. Thanks for the inspiration Chuck!

[@margaretmurphy4081]

Shirley Temple wereshe is born &comes down from Heavenit wasn’t a box office success at the time

[@joanbrunerkellogg9903]

Wow! I love it.

[@flooklh]

Good lesson, thank you. I really like the brown palette, it allows you to "see" the colours better. I love my wooden palette for this reason.

[@chuckblackart]

You are most correct, I'm not a fan of white or clear. A mid-tone helps me see more clearly

[@barbaranneboyer7997]

l love your long videos and dislike those fast ones,that the artist doesn't really want you to see how they get to the finish product....thank you sooo much l,ve learned alot from your videos

[@karlatiedemann2377]

Love it will try panting it

[@markmartinez5317]

[@CRSART-om9pj]

[@justicenastja7620]

Very pretty 😊

[@rubengarcia2469]

excelente trabajo artístico, saludos cordiales

[@marshaforsberg6889]

I love watching you! Why are your clouds mostly yellow, gray, & brownish, and not bright white with touches of yellow! I’m amazed at the bright white fluffy clouds being the stormiest! Are you putting another level, and I’m too impatient?

[@selenafernando4407]

HI CHUCK.... me again I love this painting of yours .Please do a sailing ship in the sea. It will become a tantalizing process in your art life and also i like to see and imitate it as a student.It's just a simple request.

[@salvathijazi431]

This one is amazing

[@mariadagloria5036]

Excelente!

[@julieibbotson3845]

Such a stunning view Chuck....... Could you provide the photo references for each painting as I want to paint a lot more in the future. Thanks again for your Help.......... Julie

[@nrgisameer1473]

So beautiful, thanks for sharing us those beautiful moments, is it obligatory to devide canvas to thirds or halfs, can i for example paint the wave down than the third !

[@verop8606]

Great job thank you

[@ShawnColorado]

My wife and I love watching the progression of your paintings. Great job! But I have to ask, why do you leave the price stickers on your brushes? That would absolutely drive me batty having those on there. Maybe it's just my OCD.........

[@124toosh]

Ha me too get them off

[@ShawnColorado]

Silvia Fedosejevs Thank God I'm not the only person who thought those stickers have to go.

[@chuckblackart]

Ha! I suppose I'm just always too much in a rush to notice. The price tags on some of my brushes hang off a bit and I actually love using that part like a handle. Thanks !

[@ianshedleyart1661]

me too. my ocd would flip my brain in no time!

[@edysalguero3582]

U r awesome nice work

[@cassandrak9753]

Wonderful

[@hennybrunner8939]

I watch already two videos of you. I like the way you show to paint step by step to touch up. I wonder how easy you blend the colors. Mine is dry to fast that almost impossible to blend wet on wet. I see your acrylic paint come from a small bottle do you mixed and prepare your paint before with some kind of medium to make it more runny?

[@tissy327]

Chuck, if you are painting a morning theme as opposed to an evening theme, does it effect how you choose color? Just curious, thank you!

[@Disirablepossessions]

Thank-you for your fabulous lessons. Have you ever tried Atelier Interactive? I think that's how it's spelt.

[@chuckblackart]

I have not, I will try them sometime here :)

[@Disirablepossessions]

Thank-you I look forward to that.

[@iwanabfre]

this is gorgeous, ty for showing us.. do you use the fluid paint because of the longer work time it allows?

[@DanStratocaster1]

The only good about moving closer to winter is painting

[@AuroraCash]

Dont you paint on we-onm-wet canvas? Is it hard without the clear liquid?

[@Artist_Crafter]

Thanks for sharing! Could I ask a favor? Could you allow the captions? Thanks.

[@cliftonlayman3870]

When you go back and look at some paintings and they look awful( maybe. Yours don't some of mine do) do you try and. Fix them or trash them?

[@kimberlyhewitt952]

Another beautiful painting, I love your artwork! Do you use reference photos?

[@chuckblackart]

Sometimes I do sometimes I work from memory. The clouds were made up in this piece, but I looked at a couple photos to help me design my wave

[@louisemissouri4410]

It would be nice to mention how you prepared your canvas.... great vid thank you.

[@chuckblackart]

Thank you! Just a store bought stretched canvas, no prep :)

[@lajo_jose]

Wildlife and Art Don't you apply Gesso?

[@ruby346]

What do you use on your canvas when using acrylic to keep it wet

[@delila351]

Beautiful work It seems my paintings all end up much darker than I want. How do you overcome that?

[@chuckblackart]

Been there, try focusing more on mixing your colors uncomfortably too light for what you think. Don't focus on the end result of your painting and instead just try intentionally applying colors you think are a little too light. You have to learn the properties of each color which takes time. I have developed a relationship with every color I use and that took years. The key was always trying new things with them and eventually you learn to mix the colors you were after.

[@dianechambers9174]

Hi, Love your paintings, how do you save the paint left over on your palette so you can use it the next day.

[@124toosh]

Mist and place in airtight container will keep for days

[@chuckblackart]

Mine dry too fast. I try to use it all completely, but it's usually dry before I even quit for the day. :)

[@124toosh]

You have to continually mist with a very fine spray you can buy the bottles from the craft shop I have to do the same here in Australia

[@Disirablepossessions]

Hi Chuck Do you plan your paintings or just ad-lib?

[@chuckblackart]

+Margo Wright a lot of them are just on the go. I do plan out my larger and more detail paintings often however.

[@kmbeatlesfan]

Any chance that you might do a wildlife tutorial on how to paint a deer in the wilderness? I would love that. Either way, your videos are great. Thanks for the lessons.

[@chuckblackart]

I will eventually get to that! Thank you!

[@popeye583]

will this work for oil paint?

[@popeye583]

thanks!

[@chuckblackart]

I've used a lot of oil for these as well. That's a tough question, but the short answer is yes. The issue is that you would have to wait for each part to dry prior to applying the next part. It would be a wet on dry technique which just takes more patience with oil. Sometimes I even do the underpainting in acrylic then finish with oil wet on wet over the top. Thank you!

[@popeye583]

thanks!

[@vladimirorlov2375]

[@madjack5002]

haha, makes me think I could do this.
