Painting One of the BEST Sunsets I've Seen!

[@chuckblackart]

So I'm just curious, what do you guys think is harder.. Painting skies or painting the land?

[@surujzgdas3291]

You are great

[@krissygirl1981]

Both sometimes lol , but sky’s and getting the right balance and brightness of the colours is a challenge, I’m very much novice when it comes to proper values. I use acrylics and the drying darker thing is a learning curve I’m still circling lol

[@janechambers544]

Painting skies and clouds, just never seem to get them right.

[@maryalicejohnson8291]

I paint strictly in acrylics, so blending the sky is hard for me, but i have learned soooo much just from watching your videos, the full length ones are the best! Thank you for the inspiration Chuck

[@quinnronan5283]

Painting skies is harder for me but you’re great!!! 😁

[@5663828489]

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome? I've been painting for 38 years. I am left handed and I got it really bad. So I taught myself how to paint with my right. So, then got it in my right hand. Yes, I'd say I'm a mess but I can't stop painting. Since I found you I want to paint everything you have painted. Such beautiful beautiful work!!

[@donnajacques3888]

Thank you Chuck. I have enjoyed watching you paint . I'm sorry I can not watch much longer I'm getting very tired. I have been through four operations since October and I have to stop for now I need to rest. I will get back to your Sunset some time tomorrow. Have a blessed day. Thanks for all you do for us.

[@sheilahubbard4032]

Thanks Chuck for this full length Acrylic video! It helped me to see more in my own art journey.... And then to show what the difference looks like with the oils on top... Soft icing to the cake! Wow...It's Beautiful!!❣️

[@chuckblackart]

Thanks Sheila, glad you enjoyed. The pleasure is all mine.

[@stylishgirl8787]

Can't blv u hav been practicing art fr 10 years ... Kudos to u brilliant u deserve lot of international recognition

[@juels_71]

This is ever so beautiful Chuck, love to watch you paint.. I find skies harder to paint, especially sunset ones.

[@shavaunaronan3188]

I find both difficult, but out of two I would say skies. For me, it is about the blending of the colours. I can cover up mistakes better when painting the land. Skies are a lot more time consuming, especially if they are colourful. Thank you Chuck for another amazing video!

[@Skippy66]

Absolutely beautiful ❤️

[@lindakachur4862]

Watching your looong tutorials always gives me pleasant dreams when I sleep at night..

[@DavidSoekana]

You make this painting look so easy and wonderful! Good job Chuck Black👍

[@prabhavathisubramanya8659]

Hello Chuck , your paintings are always awesome and beautiful . I love to follow them . Thanks a lot. Wish you and your family a very happy Christmas!❤️🌺💐😇

[@krissygirl1981]

So gorgeous Chuck , the first time I saw your work, the way you capture light reminded me of Kinkade , To me you have a much more realistic feel and damn can you make the light shine bright ! Awesomeness 🌅

[@chuckblackart]

Thanks Kristen!! Means a lot to me!

[@StGroovy]

Agreed. He makes it look so easy. Acrylic can be a miserable thing to work with. Masterful.

[@fitnessadvocatebodytransfo8936]

Chuck, I learned so much from this one. I've been working on my mountains and sunsets for a while (years). I love the way this one turned out, AND I'd love to show you the one I've been working on this week. I'll probably finish it with oils too!

[@kathleenkennedy2175]

Wow! Awesome tutorial and painting! Thanks Chuck💜

[@lindalou2372]

Skies for me. I can never get them to look good like yours! But, I am improving by watching all of your excellent videos! Thank you!

[@LenartMlinar]

Chuck, your artwork is beyond amazing! I've been following you for a long time now and never realy commented. I can say for myself that your work has been a huge inspiration! Always glad when I see a new upload! Keep up the amazing work and thanks for sharing your paintings and knowledge! :)

[@charitoaviles6205]

Superb Chuck!...You have master the art of painting.You always make my day watching you paint before i go to sleep.Love you Chuck.Keep on painting and sharing your beatiful talent...God Bless you always...Charito

[@joyg8999]

That sky is amazing, luscious colors, oh so beautiful, a moment in time captured for ever.

[@chuckblackart]

Thank you Joy!

[@lindagordon1708]

Once again a breathtakingly beautiful painting. Thanks for sharing your long version with us. I really appreciate you taking the time for us like you do. Why do you use water in addition to your medium? Chuck, I’m so glad you’re cold is nearly gone. How is your hamstring doing? Hope it is healing as well! Do take care of yourself. We appreciate you.

[@marygraham2155]

You are the best teacher going .I am a beginner and you have taught me so much . Thank You hope to be even a little bit as good as you .

Beautiful sunset of course and brilliantly you captured it on the canvas

[@DeevenaJemima]

Your detailed explanation is very helpful. Thanks for sharing. Love your art!! ☺️

[@chrisr6157]

Thank you so much for this video! I think the land is harder, building depth and making it look real. I have learned so much from your videos!

[@jamaiav7297]

This is incredibly beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing. Youre a star👍

[@irenegalombeck2857]

Hi Chuck. To answer the question I think this type of sky is by far more difficult. You make it look so easy and beautiful I’m sure it would take me 3x as long to get even close to your sky. 😳 Really love this painting thanks again for sharing.

[@sandydickinson8222]

Excellent. Always love your work ❤️❤️

[@stargazer1359]

Really delightful....Makes my eyes and soul smile.

[@ragodin5540]

Very beautiful sky!! Thank you for sharing!

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Beautiful sunset/beautiful painting!!! Happy to see you are doing better, and getting back into the groove of the full-length tutorials. Since I work almost exclusively in oils, skies nor land really give me much problem. The "what you see is what you get", and longer working time properties of the oils, makes the blending and details go much better and faster, for me, using them, for skies and land. Take Care of that wrist - that's the painting hand, and keep that cold beat away ;-} Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS, and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

[@michaelmadison883]

Are you serious dude?!!! This is amazing. I owe a lot of my art growth to you. Can't wait to paint alongside.

[@harmeetgrewal1466]

Hey chuck I think you are should also make some easy videos for the beginners. However you are the best artist in the world and your paintings are just speechless

[@aislinngraves4291]

Gorgeous as always! Thank you so much for a super lesson!

[@dianiamullinax]

Painting skies. Awesome painting.

[@soniahansford2731]

Thanks for your patience on the purchase of a print I am planning to share it with other's in a nursing home.

[@andrearockhill7936]

So happy to watch you paint again you are my favorite painter on you tube. Can you please tell me what brush you are using for the clouds. It is red. Thank you for all you do for us.

[@artsalivestudio]

Excellent demo, Chuck. For me the land is harder. Getting the various shades and tones to convey the contours of the land gives me fits..lol. We just keep trying. Eventually it gets to be what we want in our painting.

[@cristycreates2887]

Me too!! 🙋🏽😊

[@JohnArnoldPhotography]

Crazy Sky!!! Thank you Chuck. Happy Holidays to you and the Mrs.!

[@dennismacdonald2003]

So incredible very good use of colors

[@janechambers544]

Again another stunning piece of art! I love it! Merry Christmas Chuck x

[@yvonner4738]

Love this sunset - it's inspired me to have a go - thank you

[@alycherry6459]

Ok Chuck, you are by far the BEST realistic landscape/animal artist I have ever seen on here!!! I actually think that you might even be better then (forgive me fans), Bob Ross! You blow my 🤯mind!! If I could be half as goood as you, I’d be super happy! I was wondering if you could do super dumbed down BASIC little mini tutes whereas one would be how to do clouds (ie which brush to use, colour mixing etc), 2 how to do trees ( I did watch your tutorial on that, but I was hoping for more basic lol 3 how to suns so they don’t look like this ☀️🥺🙄and sunsets! Maybe even one just strictly on brushes and what kind of stokes the do. Some tips and tricks? I don’t know. All I know is I’m feeling kind of frustrated at my lack of ability😢 please help! Thanks in advance 😉

[@mirtaguaglianone8651]

Hermoso trabajo. Me encantan tus tutoriales, sos un gran maestro. Gracias. Saludos desde Argentina

[@KatiesTracks]

Skies are more tricky with acrylics when you’ve done it with oils haha more work into the land so maybe in that sense land is harder for the details. Skies seem pretty basic. Only so many elements make up the sky ya know. Nice sweatshirt! UND! wish you were teaching there! Awesome as always chuck! Ima huge fan!

[@KatiesTracks]

Also there’s usually more steps to making land than skies. I appreciate you’re videos! Not only are they a joy to watch but I’ve learned so much from you! Not only do you have incredible talent to paint but also amazing talent for teaching!

[@ArtCandyNepal]

Beautiful Painting Chuck ... loved it

[@jackieblue22222]

Just stunning Chuck!

[@dubsnbuds6668]

I will answer that Chuck when i have painted some 😂im a new starter but definitely feel like i have potential so i suppose thats encouraging

Congratulations.. 1 lakh(100k) comming soon

[@fncz1379]

Sooo close to 100k :) Breathtaking art deserves it :3

[@bigsiskris]

Hi Chuck! Love your work! Love watching you paint! It seems that midtones/shadows/ hi lights work the same whether it’s rock, water, or clouds... same techniques would work with a white sand beach sunset? Is this correct? The sand in my reference photo has lots of definition... makes me nervous. Haven’t had any art instruction.... just decided to paint a while back. You are inspiring!!

[@alanfloyd3205]

Chuck, could you do a video on how you got into painting? Formal or informal education. the path that led you to be a great painter.

[@Nikke283]

Sorry that I reply a second time to that video. Youre totally right with Oil and acrylics. Since im kinda "impatient" I`m very happy about acrylics. I can do my overall Idea fast with the acryls but oil is so smooth and "easy" (to blend as well as "sculpt") it always a possibility to make it a way less edgy. I know you do`t do portraits, but here i think its a real relief to make it look fastly looking like the person but working out wrinkles and stuff with Oil;) greets from germany

[@marymerriott870]

Thank you so much for your instructional video.

[@surujzgdas3291]

That's is amazing painting

[@hussainriaz01]

I have a question sir please must answer me."Is this stunning painting skill is God Gifted OR you are learned any school?".

[@chuckblackart]

I've just obsessed over painting and drawing since I was a toddler. To whether what I do was gifted or not, all I can say is it didn't come easy for the first 10 years.. I had to work a ton at it to get to say where I'm at now

[@cristycreates2887]

@@sushilasharma3837 you can use a gloss finish for your top coat if u want a shiny finish. They also make a satin and matte. I hope this helps you! 😊

[@suerandecker8602]

Love this one, so beautiful...

[@honsville]

I ordered acrylic retarded off Amazon to test it out. I put some on my pallette next to my paints and tested how long it took to dry in open air. The paint "glob" dried in about 1-2 hours with a little moisture in the middle. The retarded was still wet to the touch at that time, woke up the next morning and was still wet to the touch. I was shocked. Mixed it with paint and it stayed wet for such a long time. In a thin layer on canvas it would probably dry out within 20 min or so but thats still way longer than it usually takes the paint to dry. Helps for blending.

[@nicoletorial]

What's your thoughts on doing a painting such as this in acrylics first to block the colors, get a clearer picture of the look you're aiming for and then do oils on top once it has dried? Would it be a good idea to wait for the acrylics to cure first?

[@rubyreaves6744]

Skies and clouds are very easy for me, but what I have trouble is with mountains and land. I suppose it's because here in South Texas we have Open Skies and There are no mountains down here in Mission.

[@patearehart3704]

I couldn't read the can you used to spray on your sketch. Did it seal the graphite? Does it keep it from bleeding through the paint? Sky, clouds and sunsets are very difficult for me. Seems to take days to get it right. Your talent makes it look effortless.

[@patearehart3704]

Your paintings look like photos!

Thanks Tom, most welcome! I'll definitely be sharing more oils in the future, although I'm still very much so trying to learn all I can. I really don't feel comfortable sharing and talking about it all yet.. I will though all in time!

[@xfactorrulesok]

Chuck please answer this. How can I make my paints, that come out quite thick, as liquidy as your golden fluid paints. Do I add water maybe? Great work as well!

[@chuckblackart]

Hey Anna, Thanks and thank you for the question! Sure, so the issue with heavy body paints like you have is that when you thin them down you are going to thin down the pigment load in them as well which makes them not cover as well. Water combined with a medium like flow or glazing medium can work. You still won't be able to get them to work as good as a soft body paint right out of the bottle however. So I think it's a temporary solution to thin your current paints, but I would suggest looking at soft body paints in the future. Hope that helps clear up some things for you!
