Using Thick & Thin Paint

[@JackRainfield]

It's so refreshing to listen to Phil Starke. There's so many artists on KZbin that are trying to create copies of photos to perfection. I feel like the artist gets lost in that photographic style. Phil's point of view on avoiding too much detail and using bigger brushes really makes sense to me.

I'm a complete beginner and these series are definitely very advanced for me but your presentation is so effective that even a novice like me can begin to understand and appreciate concept like shapes, values, colour variations, lights and shadows and how to apply them in painting.These series are gems and I just want thank you for sharing them so generously.

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks

[@kidnewton]

intersting to see that most of his paintings of landscapes had the shadows in the foreground and the sunlight in the distance.... thanks Phil for this awesome tutorial.... I think you are one of the best teachers on the web!

A very good video about thick paint and Carl Moll! Very instructive and clear! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

Phil nice video! Love that painter Moll's work! After painting wildlife in acrylic for years and switching to oils for landscapes I was introduced to the use of thick paint, and love it, don't want to go back to thin paint leveled everywhere. Had a great plein air workshop instructor in Tahoe years ago, young guy named T.M. Nicholas, of Rockport, Mass. If he saw us students with tiny bits of paint on the palette, and scrubbing around on the canvas or board with almost no paint on the brush, barely staining it, he'd say: "For heavens sake, use some paint; they'll make more!! LOL. :D. Never forgot that great advice and for sure I've never found it difficult to find some more paint to buy, if I ever run out!! :)

I love the opportunity to study other artists’ work specially when I may never know who to study or how to find out about their work. Thank you for your expertise.

the last painting is so beautifully painted.

[@lisengel2498]

It’s very beautifull examples of still life and landscapes but for me it’s also very important to create a feeling of being in the scene not just observing from the outside in a static way - it can be a way of catching a more tactile, dynamic and totally embodied experience 😊

[@philstarke.artist]

Thats the hard part

[@PeterChorao]

Awesome teaching and insight as always! I definitely want to incorporate thick paint and get that confidence going, i very much had fallen into too much thinning and detail trap- and overly photographic copying. Thanks for uploading here on youtube i appreciate it :-)

Some of his work has an almost frenzied look to the execution of it. On reading about Carl Moll I see that he was influenced by impressionist, including pointillistic technique. He also admired the work of Van Gogh. Such free, sometimes hurried and frenzied but exceptional work. I also loved your comment about little brushes 😅

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks Linda, he was an interesting painter.

[@melihgumuscay7359]

Thanks useful video. Can you talk about thinning with oil VS thinner(turpentine) . Brush usage for thick application (natural hairs VS synthetic )

[@franciscoromero8134]

Thanks for letting me discover this color master, Carl Moll. Does anyone know his palette?

[@philstarke.artist]

Your welcome, I haven't come across his palette yet

[@sln101]

Good video 👍

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks for the visit

If u sending paint to Alaska I'm commenting your channel

Muddy color is color that is too warm for its context. Chalky color is too cool for the context. I think it was Richard Schmid who said this.

[@lisengel2498]

I like thicker paint in contrast to thin and more transparent parts and the strength of the simplicity and vibrance that can be the result. Was this painted alla prima? And thicker oil paint can take forover to dry 🙃🎶💚🤎🩵🎵

[@philstarke.artist]

The artist was Carl Moll, I think they were alla prima

[@lisengel2498]

Palet knife also helps very much with simplification - and a strong choice of color e. G. In the park paintings and the cityscapes - wonderfull examples 🎵🩵💛💚🎶
