Realistic Horse Painting Time-Lapse | Oil on Canvas

I haven't painted a horse in so long, but the process remains the same with anything that I do. More and more as I continue to learn and develop my methods, I tend to treat every subject I do in a similar way. I like to break down what I'm painting into a language of textures. I try not to think about what I'm #painting, but rather what combinations of textures and #colors could help me achieve what I'm after.
So when it comes to something like this which I haven't worked on in a while, there's certainly a level of intimidation, but I'm learning to look past that and focus from a different perspective. I'm thrilled with how this came together and I hope you enjoy sharing this process with me in today's video.
I painting most of this wet in wet. My initial layer of paint was acrylics for a thin wash/base. The second layer was in oils and I completed the entire layer over about a week. I would segment an area and paint that all in one go. I had to feather each wet area into the previous one that began to dry each day, but I did not overlap.
Once the entire layer was done and dried, I returned to the painting to add a few adjustments and tweak some colors which I did in one day using one layer essentially. I painted most of this piece using a dagger striper brush: shrsl.com/25xuv

[@chuckblackart]

Hey everyone, I appreciate you watching. I get so many questions sent to me from fellow artists that it can be tough to reply. I've created a Q&A page here if you didn't know - bit.ly/3aNx4nG I also get a lot of you artists asking for more educational and tutorial types of videos like I used to do. And although I hear you loud and clear, I'm also taking some time to focus on myself more and my personal development as an artist. It can be so draining and challenging for me to try to balance my energy and time to produce such content that it tends to take away from my artwork. So I'm paying close attention to that hence the less real time content lately. When I was first starting out and getting serious about painting, no one I reached out to would help me. I found zero answers, got few replies, and at the time there was no such thing as free content online. Being able to watch how another artist constructs their painting from start to finish would have been extremely helpful for me back then. So I'm going to continue to try and share as much as I can and I will be posting more how to content when possible. I have lots coming up soon including 5 more horse paintings so plenty of opportunities to continue to share !

U are so amazing Chuck,all your works have inspired the best out of me.Am so grateful and thankful for all your post,can't wait for more videos.u are my role model in painting ❤️❤️💖💖💝💝

[@arkihm1233]

sir chuck you are the most detailes artist ive ever seen in youtube .your artistic vision is superb compared to.anyone else out there..keep pushing .love your work

[@yvoennsche]

Totally understandable. You definitely have to take care of yourself. However, if you ever offer a in person class to support yourself financially, I think you will have a lot of people wanting to sign up. That might be easier to schedule also. I would definitely pay for that. Doesn't hurt that Montana is beautiful.

[@pedroden6561]

I’ve seen a bunch of your videos....this by far is one of your best paintings.....

[@lidewijdevries4444]

Amazing work, Chuck! I really understand you saying you need more balanced time to develop as an artist. It's so important to stay true to yourself and the process. I wish you all the best and lot's of inspiration on your travels! Stay safe and inspired. These videos are the most relaxing thing to watch!

That’s amazing! I love the way you paint with such incredible detail and the colours you use! So great to see. I’m working on two paintings with a horse in them both close ups of the head in acrylic paint. I’m only learning and I don’t have anyone to teach me. I took up art after becoming seriously ill and disabled a few years ago and I’m finding great joy in art. I’m not a fan of modern abstract art but I prefer realistic art. It’s been a journey. Painting the horse’s eye has taken many attempts! To make it look real. You make it look so simple but you have had lots of experience and good teaching behind you. Really loved watching your video. 👍🎨
