Hi, I am the son of two artists and began painting in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia before I could walk. I was a rare combination of artist and athlete so I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to play football for USC. I left the team my sophomore year to focus on painting and filmmaking, applying the same focus and discipline from my football career to my art. I primarily work in oils, and spend most free days painting "en plein air" in my new home of Sarasota Florida.

The oh butt cheek painter 🤣. I am finally starting to be able to “see” how the various stages in a painting progress...darks to light (without light contrast, most paintings are just plain)...values I’m still struggling to see but I at least get it now as I watch more and more of your vids...as I see you paint a color, then go over it lighter or darker to adjust the value. Something else I am learning is that oil painting is a work in progress, meaning every stroke does not have to be final or perfect. If I screw it up, I can fix it. I just have to get to a point where that feeling of anxiety or whatever it is does not even show up anymore. Excellent vid!

Very helpful words of wisdom. Paint what you like and work on getting better. Not think about finding my speciality right off. This takes a lot of pressure off. I just need to paint more. I am a western lifestyle photographer...and learning more about how to paint with watercolors. I have found in the painting field of horses and cowgirls and cowboys, there are sooooo many who already do it. Sometimes this overwhelms me with wanting to paint it. As I feel the competition is so great. I look at their work and wonder if I could learn to be as creative or as good. Anyway, what I am saying is I forget to love what I am doing, and need to stop worrying about end results at this phase. I just need to paint. Thanks for the straight forward talk!!

I took my first oil painting class at the Florida Keys Community College. The instructor was Marcia Ream who was trained at the Chicago School of Art. She treated us ragtag bunch of older folks like we were in real art school. I will always be grateful to her. This was in 1998 or so. But, she never painted with us or showed us her style because she didn't want us to copy her. She wanted us to figure it out ourselves.

I agree with pretty much everything you say. A couple things that seem to get a lot of mileage on KZbin are how to develop a painting style and how to fill a sketchbook. Both subjects I love to look at but think it is mostly misdirected focus. I tend to look at a painting style as similar to your written signature. We all learned to write in a very similar fashion but our cursive writing is all different and we exerted no effort to make it different, it just happened. I feel the same about painting, paint enough and it will happen. no need to force something...if you do it is a short term, fake or pretend style :-) Your real style will eclipse that soon enough. As for filling a sketchbook...when did that become a goal ? Put anything in your sketchbook you want, use it to work out drawing issues, use if for preliminary sketches to explore various compositions, put finished work in it, whatever. But why is having it full important? To show off to friends? I can understand that but wrong motivation in my opinion. Do works in it for problem solving or for fun. Soon you will have a hundred of them. I have a bunch and would not really like to show them to anyone but each image for various reasons was fun or interesting or challenging or a complete failure for me. Non issue for me.

I paint solely for enjoyment and have painted photorealistic landscapes for over 50 years. What started me was, after completing my first or second painting, a fellow artist said, "If you want to paint with such detail, why not take a picture with a camera?" That comment pushed my HOT BUTTON. I've painted that style ever since. I find in most part, those artists, who critique it as too busy, are jealous; because they can't paint my style themselves.

Try to tell a story, convey an emotion, uncover beauty within the mundane. It won't happen for a while, but in trying you will start seeing a story in things that speak to you, you will have an emotional connection to your own subject matter and you will see the world through different eyes. That will drive your style and as you become better at conveying those elements you will find greater interest in your work. Success is a word that means a million things. Don't chase success, instead find the joy and fulfillment in your art. That will enrich you and attract a market. Stardom is like capturing lightning in a bottle... it is not under your control.

I much appreciate your sound common sense and examples of good practice . I have reorganised the studio following your tour and set up my Pochard box on a flat surface while I wait to repair the broken wing nut on one of its legs! I live in in England, but having recently discovered you in lockdown I can report that you are a good motivator! Your wise words on choosing subjects and painting styles reminds me of the comic short story by Saki: The Stalled Ox. ...... On one side of his garden there abutted a small, picturesque meadow, in which an enterprising neighbour pastured some small picturesque cows of the Channel Island persuasion. At noonday in summertime the cows stood knee-deep in tall meadow-grass under the shade of a group of walnut trees, with the sunlight falling in dappled patches on their mouse-sleek coats. Eshley had conceived and executed a dainty picture of two reposeful milch-cows in a setting of walnut tree and meadow-grass and filtered sunbeam, and the Royal Academy had duly exposed the same on the walls of its Summer Exhibition. The Royal Academy encourages orderly, methodical habits in its children. Eshley had painted a successful and acceptable picture of cattle drowsing picturesquely under walnut trees, and as he had begun, so, of necessity, he went on. His "Noontide Peace," a study of two dun cows under a walnut tree, was followed by "A Mid-day Sanctuary," a study of a walnut tree, with two dun cows under it. In due succession there came "Where the Gad-Flies Cease from Troubling," "The Haven of the Herd," and "A-dream in Dairyland," studies of walnut trees and dun cows. His two attempts to break away from his own tradition were signal failures: "Turtle Doves alarmed by Sparrow-hawk" and "Wolves on the Roman Campagna" came back to his studio in the guise of abominable heresies, and Eshley climbed back into grace and the public gaze with "A Shaded Nook where Drowsy Milkers Dream." I will not spoil the ending but here is a link and I hope you enjoy it! www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/Stal819.shtml

I paint anything and everything -with a tendency to enjoy landscapes the most, I'm self taught, started late, and well still trying to just learn. Some of my work is ok, some is just plain painfully awful but I paint for pleasure and for self mental care, not fooling myself to think I'm one of the greats. I aim or want to be (wish with all my heart) to be a realism painter, but that's so hard. No clue how to even begin to get there. I am transitioning from acrylics to oil and still find my self looking at my masterpieces called MUD. I keep on trying and searching for as much advice as I can.

Yes and no.. I did this exact thing.. bouncing around a bit with different teachers but it was trying to get up to speed in a hurry without any background in oil painting. I started with Bob Ross for a variety of reasons and I love this fun and fast painting but it's not "my style".. and it felt very limiting. So I've been going other places and learning other techniques not so much styles. I know what "feels right" for me.. I love using mediums.. I love experimenting and trying different things. So my "style" isn't so much how I paint as to what I paint. I also have found it to be very useful to paint in different mediums.. ie.. I love watercolors and the unique challenges of the medium. I find myself blending techniques between watercolor, oil and acrylic to get the look I have in my head. Since I'm self taught, I don't seem to have some of the traditional baggage of "oh, you are an oil painter .. period". You are are a good example.. no offense but I don't really care for your painting style.. too "chunky" for me.. but I love your techniques of how to get to the end product and I've tried to incorporate quite a bit :) And you are a solid teacher of the craft so it's all good to me. I'll keep watching and learning as long as you keep teaching .. so thank you for sharing. And yes, some of us are in fact listening :D

"Follow one master." I have been painting on canvass and paper and general 3d since I studied for my BFA in the 1990s. While I still consider myself a "learner," I have worked alongside really good, legendary painters since, and seen their techniques in professional environments. I also taught a couple classes part time at a legendary art school. Not that I think I am good. I am a learner, still. I still fail and flail after all these years, but I know what I know and can do some things well. I think the worst failing and flailing is where my style pushes back against certain techniques of other Masters other than the one who taught me. As you say, there are hundreds of videos by hundreds of masters out there, there's nobody doing their paintings in how I would want to learn to paint or which will further the skills I wish to develop. Why? They paint their way and that's good for them. My master taught his way and that was good for him, not necessarily perfect for me. That's probably the biggest hurdle when learning from a master. You must do everything their way for a couple years. Their subject matter choices, blending methods, color theories, and brush choices for specific situations. Every last detail too, from gesso application to dashing salt on the pigment to rules on how to use reference. For years. Then you move on. I occasionally hear students complain they had to do things exactly like the master who was intolerant to change. Poor souls didn't know: This *is* the way. Only after you can perfectly do what the master does, can you start thinking originally. BUT, once you do start doing things your way it is really hard to learn something else or from a new Master and have those methods mesh well with your "style". For what it's worth....

I don't know. Is that really so? Follow one master and that even for years? I would rather learn objectively. "You can use that material like so or like so. This gives you this effect, but if you do it that way, you get that result. Don't you ever do this 'n that, because that'll ...." I want to learn the options. I would never want to copy just one person for years. Why should I? I would not want to become somebody's copy. Actually I'd prefer copying other people's art just occationally to study how they did it, in order to collect experience. At present, I'm copying a van Gogh, mostly I'm trying to come close to the original. But I've also made some deliberate changes because I liked them better. I do want to learn "the ropes", how it is done, how it can be done, what better not to do. As he says in the video: get better. By learning about the materials, the possible techniques. Studying the masters can teach you a lot. THE masters, not just one. Following just one is like seeing only one perspective. It's like sitting in a house at one window never going outside, never seeing any other but this one view. Even if you do go outside after a couple of years, then you will have lost years of diverse options.

@@anjapinkau3737 It is hard to explain. I think the Master/Mentor system doesn't work for everyone. But if you can do it, there's no question you become a "better painter" by being at least *one* kind of master. Like the video says, today we are used to finding hundreds of videos from great painters on youtube. The exact tension on the bristles matter. The exact amount of medium, water, thinner, gel, retardent, mixtures matter. Otherwise there's too many variables to figure out what variable you have that's causing the different result on your canvas. If they can be there with you, in person, they can touch your hand with the brush and you can see how much bend the bristles need to get the right effect. When all else fails, they can hold your brush, with your paint mix, etc. and try it on your canvas. Then the master can say: " you forgot the underpainting, the paint should have been heavier body, but the white is liquid white, and you should use a squirrel hair brush instead of synthetic. That's why it didn't work."

If he is a true master, I will never have a chance to become his equal, because he is unique. Therefore I think I should try to learn the subject rather than imitate the teacher. But, of course, you are right, people are different, learn differently. To learn from a true master can be very inspiring, enlightening - if you can keep up with him. But I'd be happy to just have a good live teacher who need not be a master, average skills would still be more than I have now! 😄 At present I'm learning painting auto-didactically. However, I know from my piano lessons that being taught by a good teacher is far more effective. But where do you find a good art teacher (who teaches adults outside of school one-on-one)? Especially now in times of Corona lockdown?

Are you painting with the sun hitting your canvas directly?

That is a "thing" with painting outside...inside the painting looks darker....SOO, one master suggests paint lighter than you think outside and see what happens...😉

@@TJ-jq9bz your painting is going to look different in different lighting. I always use natural light as my default. If it looks different in somewhere else in different lighting then so be it. Nothing I can do.

If you paint with your butt cheeks the work might look a little muddy and nutty but someone may think it's the shit, lol.

Again a really good video lesson. But I'd appreciate as a non native English person if you could speak not as fast as you do. I have trouble to follow your videos.

The three dots at the top right of video. Click it. Go to Playback Speed, change from Normal to half time, or which ever works best for you. I love this ability on KZbin, as some speak to slow, others too fast...and by a quick adjustment, I change it to what works best for me.
