The Challenge of Painting and How Struggle is Your Greatest Asset

[@rnchimilar]

I think observation you get better at seeing colors and learning techniques along the way. I am 64 and only just noticed the sky how the colors change from skyline to higher in the sky. Your always learning new things.

I often have trouble starting a painting. I paint alot of waterfowl and my struggle is the water. You "see" water very well. A beautiful piece, thank you for sharing.

[@RobinLandausharingtips]

I truly can’t even imagine that you struggle with anything while painting. You seem to paint so effortlessly. Your art is beautiful….. so we’ll done. I am an artist as well, and I enjoy watching other KZbinrs who paint. I’ve admired your paintings. It’s humble of you to share this with the world. Thanks for sharing.

[@chuckblackart]

Much appreciated and thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoy it is my pleasure to share

[@JulieHightower777]

That’s beautiful. I’m glad you are still finding things to be excited about after that many years. …And I definitely think you should do the interview with A.T.! That would be so cool!!

[@jeandyer7432]

As a relatively new painter, your story and paintings inspire me to work through the challenges we all face with each painting. Thank you so much for your channel, sharing your story, and helping each of us know we’re not alone!

[@mikeadkins1854]

As always Chuck a nother great painting love it !!👍👌😳

[@joeirvine3398]

Your musings on your passion-from frustration to inspiration-reflect the reality of all of us. Skill levels change over time, but accessing what drives your artistic passion is what we all strive to do. Thanks for sharing! ❤

Beautiful painting, Chuck, and it's the struggle that has gotten you to where you are now. As long as that struggle never ends, your paintings will consistently improve, too. Sometimes maybe, just maybe, it isn't so much a struggle as it is a searching. A searching does have its struggles along the way, but it's the searching that initiates and constitutes the journey. It's a treasure hunt, and you provide the treasure of your paintings.

[@jeanninekalua9016]

It is a relief to hear a professional artist say, its the struggle that got me to where I am, and that is a 25 year struggle so far. I started my struggle with painting, watercolor and now oils. I cant say how much i appreciage knowing thqt the struggle for me has just begun and i can relax and enjoy the journey of learning landscape painting. Thank you

[@lorigilmore5521]

Love the duck! I am looking forward to watching you as you challenge yourself. Thanks for sharing your life and art.

[@iChrisBirch]

Very cathartic to watch your videos. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@carriebarnes118]

Go, Chuck, go!! Love the shift in captions, your narrations always sounded like journal entries you were reading to us and I love this format too!

[@alexpushkin85]

I'm not an artist myself, but I appreciated reading these reflections on years of struggle in a creative process. All while creating a beautiful painting (and video)! Thank you for sharing this with others.

[@SparrowMountain]

Awesome Chuck B, I'll need to watch again but this is so gentle-ethereal and such a good inspiration. Thanks. Dave from Canada

[@geri1864]

Beautiful Chuck!!

[@josianeholbe]

Bonsoir Chuck, très réaliste votre peinture ,vouscprenez soins des détails, très perfectionniste, c est magnifique quel 4akent vous avez!😀👍😃❤❤🇫🇷

[@patriciaward7090]

Wonderful painting, thank you Chuck, love it. You've give me hope to continue because I struggle enormously!

[@BDTillson]

Sharing your life is as much an inspiration as sharing your art Chuck. Every time I watch you paint I am drawn toward picking up the brush and facing my own struggles. Thank you as always.

[@stephenzeglen8007]

Great video! I really appreciate you sharing this journey. I very much connect with the struggle and striving to improve because I love the subjects and want to represent them well, but I believe that art, like almost anything, is gained through work.

[@allanimalstaxi]

Great work Chuck and thanks for sharing.

[@elizabethwebber9222]

Thank you , I needed this today ❤

[@timkeagy4094]

The thing I struggle with is sketching before I paint. Because of this, I have to paint by eye and learn the depth of field that way. I have conquered that depth of field in photography, but the brush is much different.

[@chuckblackart]

It's a challenge for sure, it's why I really prefer to sketch with burnt sienna straight from the tube, I can work it and change it for hours even days until I'm satisfied

[@dcampbell5054]

Beautiful artwork and lovely to watch.

[@premowteelollmun8672]

Thanks for sharing .awesome ❤

[@NataliaSArt]

I love your paintings/style🥰👍

[@chuckblackart]

Thank you so much Natalia

[@cindybroadhead7797]

A very beautiful piece. Your work is amazing and a great inspiration for me and my journey. Thank you

[@timtaylor-lo9hs]

You’re one of my heroes

[@angieevert833]

Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing your process.

[@bastian6173]

I think to become better it's important to embrace the suck. We're wired to avoid struggle but we only grow when there is resistance. Honestly, I think if you paint wildlife at THIS level AND incorporate these magnificient landscapes into your work without undermining the subject matter, I think your art is gonna be second to none

[@beenasibi5971]

Really it was breathtaking !!!!!!! God bless you

[@swapneelswami7925]

Amazingly beautiful ❤

[@chuckblackart]

thank you

[@DavidA-uk9bm]

Thank you Chuck for sharing that you struggle, I too am an artist though not close to your level of talent. But I struggle, just recently we built a home and it has been 2 1/2 years since I've had an opportunity to paint and when I picked up my brush again, I just got so frustrated and finally decided to put down my brush and pursue some other creative outlet. I love painting but how do you learn to continually improve your craft? Do you read books? Watch videos? Have a teacher? How should I proceed when I feel like I'm in a rut?

[@l4k3_art]

Looks amazing! Fantastic work! ❤

[@chuckblackart]

Thank you !

[@AlamPainting]

Wow luarbiasa, anda melukis dengan sangat teliti dan hasilnya sangat indah, sukses selalu 👍👍👍

[@HalfWarrior]

Awesome Chuck! The white text on the video is sometimes hard to read when the contrast of the image is similar in value.

[@chuckblackart]

duly noted! Thank you

[@mimisart]

This was so inspirational and relatable!! Thanks so much for sharing your journey!

[@rebeccarowlandson7126]

Loved the video found it very relaxing and enjoyed watching the painting develop beautiful.

[@chuckblackart]

Glad to hear that thank you Rebecca

[@artistryspectrum512]

Pretty amazing and inspiring

[@chuckblackart]

I appreciate it

[@onlyhoasibuiart448]

It's beautiful, ❤

[@user-kd5pc6ov4m]

Wonderfull 🎉

[@trace6402]

Your water is so real. That is my biggest weakness. Seems so easy compared to lifelike feathers or fur but buoyant, fluid water is my biggest challenge.

[@chuckblackart]

It certainly is just as easy as painting other things that you compare it to, however I think it's easier to get lost in the patterns of the water which is why it becomes hard. My ability to perceive those patterns is what has improved over time and I think that's what we have to focus on. It just takes a lot of practice to "see" it and decipher it.

[@seenabose7211]

So realistic 🎉🎉🎉❤

[@evamaxwell9749]

nice!

[@AlanaCBair]

In a way Chuck wildlife is landscape if you think about it. Either way well done.

[@huntsail3727]

As someone new to painting I wonder what do you do with all the completed paintings? When I was a kid learning a sport or practicing a musical instrument, I did not have all my "practice shots" or my "practice scales and songs" accumulating. What did, are you doing with the paintings that you are using to learn and practice?

[@thorfinsky1427]

My guess is the duds were painted over and the better ones sold.

[@t0raneko]

I hear you. I've been painting almost daily since 2012 and I feel discouraged that my landscapes will never stop looking amatuerish and labored. Like the new video format, by the way. What kind of sketch box is that?

[@chuckblackart]

Glad you enjoy, keep at it. It is a kings art box

[@whiskycentral]

Do you make videos with voice overs? Or are they all text only?

[@memoriessomeonewewillnever732]
