What you can learn from OIL PAINTING in BLACK and WHITE

[@davidrachlin3557]

I just came back from my first oil painting workshop, and instructor told me to work on values with a monochrome painting. Your video was perfect!! Thanks!

[@momokazi3215]

Firstly, great hair. Secondly, thanks so much for the channel. I've just started watching and the amount that I'm learning is awesome! Much appreciated.

[@rkdaley]

Excellent. This was helpful. Especially since I just watched the Patreon tutorial on this! I am truly getting better faster because of your videos. Thank you so much.

[@marcyperrier7030]

What a great lesson ...going from black and white ...to full color...I learned so much...thank you Chris.

[@Elisa001]

Great upload as always. Definitely would love to see an underpainting demonstration. Although I think you have something close in an older upload. I’ll go look lol

[@beverlywhite8433]

Value is actually more important than the actual color. We have all seen paintings where the colors are not natural...yet if the values are right the painting looks right

[@rori_hughes_artistry]

I got so excited to see you posted a new video. Value is very important! I’m still trying to master it after 6 years.

[@paintcoach]

You can do it!

[@amarin8600]

OMG!!! You did a Bob Ross demonstration for the color blind. Awesome 😎

[@rebeccanewberry3176]

Would love to see a video of you demonstrating an underpainting! Thanks for all your content, I've been binge watching

[@LisaIngArt]

Awesome and beautiful art !! This is incredible ! Great work !!!!

[@paintcoach]

Thank you so much 😀

[@laurasipert6837]

Hi! I really love your videos, the atmosphere you create is amazing and it's so helpful. Thank you ❤🇧🇷

[@peaceluvagstudios]

Yes please for the under painting demo if not done already.

[@michaels775]

Just finished my first BW portrait underpainting. Could've used some of this advice first. Still feel like I got a lot out of it and am ready for color now!

[@rezahosseinzadehnasser993]

Very useful lesson. Please make a video showing monochrome underpainting and then putting color with matching value.

[@Msannamitta]

ok 👍 the shadow of the barn. I think worry about i dont want my painting to come out garish because of the reference photo. Outside is different r alla prima enjoyed the video!

[@davidhansen6599]

great video..i like to use the dark light clipping in Photoshop Camera Raw filter after i lay down the darks and lights to compare the photo to my painting just to see how accurate i was or wasn't.

[@vnnvideo9023]

Love your work!

[@paintcoach]

Thank you!

[@chrissavasky455]

super helpful. Thanks Chris

[@shannonthiesen7892]

Hey, just have to say that I truly appreciate your videos and look forward to your new posts. Value is my biggest challenge. I get so excited about colour and go nuts with the first colour I see. Part of me loves this (artistic license) but I'd really like to understand the difference between my happy accidents and my intentional choices. Do you offer in-person workshops? If I were able to paint alongside you for a week, I feel like I would "get it" more... of course, post-pandemic.

[@eyeonart6865]

Do a lake like this, please!

[@hotlineoperator]

It would be interesting to order colors in palette by value..

[@annettelouise6781]

It would, but I think value is created by the artist?

[@gregsage1605]

Well done.

[@rolisea7682]

Really helpful thanks!

[@chechnyabest]

yes please!

[@bubeni_]

TY!

Hi there! Question: I just started with Oil painting, and I noticed that in tge drying procedure, some areas tend to dry in a way that the paint loses all shine to it, so that looks like a dull acrylic surface. I do use good quality Oils, and use a little linseed Oil and Liquin original as I see fit. I'm painting on canvas that I've gessoed twice and I applied a thin Acrylic layer (not deluded, but just really stretched out) to have a neutral base colour. So, anyone have a suggestion as to why some parts of the painting dry completely dull? And no it's not the acrylic surface that is unpainted ;) Have a good one!

[@hgzmatt]

I think that's usually the areas where I use thin paint diluted with paint thinner. As you add more paint or oil it gets glossy. It doesn't usually bother me and I guess varnish would take care of that? Not sure, haven't tried that yet.

[@marysechauvet2189]

From France,have been painting for 35 years.Remember coat number 1 is dull as you have used terpenthine .or à ny thinner number 2 is glossy, 3 is dull etc...So if you work more on certain zones ,you have shiny ones,and dull ones .Once it is dry you can use retouching varnish to allow a certain unity and to allow thé colours to get their proper valûes.

[@GeorgeFrancisart]

Thanks for the great advice!

[@mrs.nostalgicrpg895]

What do you do for your paintings to dry quicker? I have a small apartment and I don't have a lot of room to leave paintings to dry.

[@GalleryBry]

I like to use an alkyd walnut medium from m Graham. It’s non toxic and dries quickly. I also use a lot my burnt umber in my mixes, which speeds drying quite a bit.

[@mrs.nostalgicrpg895]

@@GalleryBry thanks! I appreciate it. I am very new to oil painting so I appreciate the advice.

[@underfire987]

Please do a video on how to do under paintings theirs not enough of them online

[@callmejackaroo4723]

You're serious a big help, Chris! I have a dumb question... On a stretched canvas, do you pai t the sides? Is it dependent on whether you'll frame or sell it? I forget to, so I try to paint it later, & it looks silly & mismatched. But I kinda suck, so. P. S. I'm totally trying to rip off your style, & I'll probably claim it came naturally if someone likes it...

[@mrjanssen3856]

Hi there, well i always paint the sides, as it just looks messie if there are loose strokes going over the sides unregulary. I tend to do it when the painting is done, so I can chose a colour that compliments the painting, giving it a nice final touch.

[@debragag1238]

I would very much appreciate the information on Which colors do you have on your palette (I know they’re the primaries)

[@SatSukhArt]

very nice video... keep up the good work!😍😇😊💖 best wishes from a fellow artist...

[@larvyx]

Hey bro is that water or oil in the white container

[@nancyroberts318]

How does one sign up for the course?

[@leo9966]

Hii, I have a really important question, I just found a red oil paint called cadmium red deep hue, there's no cadmium red alone available, does the red deep also work as a primary color?. And also, is cadmium yellow a good primary yellow? or is a yellow pale hue a better one?(Im talking about the winsor and newton ones btw). I hope you can respond to me soon. I looove your videos.

[@jakethemistakeRulez]

I thought the sky was supposed to be the lightest values but the clouds are definitely lighter ...

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Value study is so boring to me....but most important and mostly challenging for me🤪

[@powderriverfarrier]

Excellent content once again. Unfortunately the unrelenting music cannot be turned off. That is the reason keeping us from subscribing to the patreon channel or the upcoming full video lesson.

[@ggme4682]

I agree 100 percent!

[@powderriverfarrier]

@@ggme4682 what makes this so disappointing is he's so good at explaining and offers really good insights. The background music detracts from the presentation of the content.

[@ggme4682]

@@powderriverfarrier Yes so far I love this guy, I recently found him and he's very obviously one of the best. To be fair and honest I haven't seen or used his Patreon. But in general, all across the KZbin platform, I HATE when people play loud, or obnoxious, or ANY music (especially how to videos!). When I want to hear KZbin music I go the artists I LIKE, listen to what I WANT, and WHEN I want!
