I’ve been painting for a few years now. I’m in a wheelchair, and had a stroke. I’ve literally had to form tips like these to work for me. "Standing" 6’ away? Not going to happen lol. But, I do only paint for 15/30 minutes, and then roll back to look at the entire picture. Drink some water. Long handle brushes are a must. Anything less , and you’ll tire your arms out. It’s not a pencil. Don’t hold it as such. Long handles usually allow one’s elbow to rest on the arm rest. When choosing an easel make sure you get one that your wheelchair can fit under. Another option is a tabletop easel if you have a shelf/desk you can roll under. I also wanted to point out that I’ve been a subscriber since I started painting in late 2019, and you had yet to break 10k subscriptions. Congratulations on the success with your Patreon, Subscriptions, Facebook page, training videos, and painting in general. 👊

I know what you mean! Once I could stand and paint for hours. Physical disabilities happen for many people. You must compensate for distance, reaches with brush, etc. 🎨

it’s really worth it, not only for oil painting but all kinds of mediums - even for pencil drawing. If you have the place, look for a sturdy H-frame one

Check your local listings for garage,estate sales,Facebook market place and Craigslist. Remember, art remains a fringe interest so there are some really great prices on materials, especially those that take up a lot of space.

Well, I have to say, you're fun to listen to! I really enjoy listening to your videos.

You made me realize why pictures don't always work, so I plan to start plein air painting soon. I learned that detail can't save a bad painting. Now I start over faster when needed.

Hi Coach, I’m from Pakistan . My name is Sarah I’m a Fine art graduate . I left painting for five years but now I’m trying to get back to it and your videos kinda helped me to revise what I practiced. Thankyou for All thé guidelines

Good advice. I started drawing with a pencil on the canvas, moved on to charcoal, then to brush drawing. Also if a painting is taking a long time you don't see the imbalances, faults etc. You see the trees not the forest even when you stand back. Every now and then look at it via a mirror for a fresh perspective.

the mirror trick is very helpful

I love how your macbook is covered in oil paint smudges. Accurate!

Ive had a wonderful experience being an artist. The one thing that excites me and sure many others, you learn every day new techniques no matter how long has one been painting. I will watch this lesson again with great appreciation. Even for an old painter it has lots of valuble tips. Thank you. 🙏🇺🇸🎨

I think the drawing skill is the foundation of all art, whether abstract, figurative, or conceptual. And not just proportion drawing, but the development of line quality and composition. So I would tend to say drawing should be more emphasized than Chris states. That being said, don't ever let a concept prevent you from just diving into any kind of art and doing it.

That's the old way of thinking about it, and it's very sound, but it's not a law. Some people need to get into painting sooner to progress faster. Often they will focus more on drawing at a later time, and their drawing will be improved from their painting. Putting off learning rendering more detailed form and materials to focus on drawing was a monumental waste of time for myself and greatly harmed my drawing, and I've seen the same happen to others as well. What can happen is one becomes very good at shorthand and "drawing techniques" and loses a precise sense of form inside of the lines.

Drawing teaches you to look properly.

I've only been painting in oils since 2001 (strictly watercolours before that; self-taught in both) and always thought "fat over lean" and "thick over thin" meant the same thing, especially since I rarely ever use any medium. Thanks for clearing that one up, Chris!

I love that I decided to watch this on a whim even though I don't paint but I draw (and do digital art recently) and there is some solid advice that is applicable to most art mediums. Great video Paint Coach!

I watch all your videos but I paint in watercolor, so not all the advice is applicable to me. But I absolutely learn something I can use every single video. Thanks for the way you explain things and all that you've taught me about composition. Love the tip about taking a different reference photo for sky and land!

I bought myself my first easel this week! I’m so excited to get outside and go paint!!

Stumbled on this and it’s excellent stuff! Many of the principles you mention are immediately applicable to watercolor, gouache and pastel. Thank you for this!

i’m brand new to painting (and art in general!). i’ve only been able to start in the past month or so since i graduated school & finally have some time to explore my interests. i’ve definitely fallen into the trap of trying too many new processes 😅 i really appreciate the beginner-friendly videos!

Thank you so much, getting lost in the details is really easy for me and this video had a lot of reasons why not to do that, which my habits fight against. The extra tips really really help!!

You are the best-every point you make you show exactly what it is we should be looking for. Watching you I have noticed how I do not block in and what it would add at the forming up of the drawing/painting.

You’re a great teacher, I’ve watched loads of art videos but this is really resonating. Following!

I am so glad I stumbled upon your KZread channel! Thank you for sharing your tips on oil painting. You really have a lot of knowledge and wisdom on the subject. Watching your videos has started to get me excited about painting again and really demystified the process. I signed up for your patreon and am so excited to start my oil painting journey. I cannot thank you enough!👏 👩🏼‍🎨🎨

And another excellent video! Many thanks at this point for your numerous and always great contributions dear Chris.

Another great video. And your paintings evolved so much. Really enjoy your work.

First video I’ve seen of yours, this is great! Trying to get back into painting after starting school so this is motivation for sure

These were 10 “on point” observations that hit home! Great advice and great video presentation- (nothing worse than a rambling, unprepared tutorial) Thank you!

Best decision I made was to follow this page!! Best videos, tips and tutorials everytime!! So detailed and focused!!

Great tips regarding photos. Thank you!

I especially liked the tip about continuing to draw.

UGH every one of your videos is so insightful! I often find myself physically nodding along with your points bc I can relate :p sometimes I find myself leaving other artists’ videos bc I feel overwhelmed by their experience/education. But because you’re so down to earth, I can honestly say, I leave your videos feeling truly inspired. So thank you ♥️

Great list and advice. The idea about drawing is key. The drawing is the basis of the last layer of paint.

Absolutely fantastic video..really sound advice..I'm new to painting with oil, am writing down your tips and trying them out.. I love working with oil

Useful tips and basic information for beginners. Thanks for sharing.

Normally don’t like these sort of videos but your advice is good to know.

Good advices. As a photographer I'm used to compose and see, and working with light (portraits too). Painting people from others photos, often bad lighted etc, is a problem but solvable. Using the experience from portrait photography helps me another by building the light I want in paintings. Same with focus. Thanks for your good advices.

I've been following your channel since last summer, and I love your simplicity and authenticity! Do you have any tips on broken color? I admire artists who use it to get a shimmery color effect, but when I do it, the painting just looks scabby and overworked. Love your videos!

Thank you Chris ❤️

Try the Mark Rothko method...paint 4 squares with 3 colours...frame it, and sell it for £84 million...I'll stick to painting kittens for my grandaughter. Love your work Coach.

Thanks my teacher!!! (Background Im 30 yo and had oil painting classes at 6yo and that's it, then stopped with oils but recently bought my first quality set and already had my easel and had continued painting but with watercolors) I see a lot of KZreadrs painting a small part of their painting, say an entire eye with details and all... Until finishing and them moving on and that reallyyyy confused me and made me think I was just wrong on using oil paints the way you are , layers and big areas and blocking out. So thanks for showing me this is ok too!!! Also, I'm glad I only make 3 out of this 10 mistakes hehehe , will work on that! Gracias maestrooo.

thanks mate i love to paint with oil, greetings from the Netherlands

I’m guilty of all of these! Thank you for this video

Me too. Especially when doing final details. I've even been thinking about getting an arm rest/pommel

Great video, and love when you cop to having made the same mistakes as the rest of us. Would love to see more on your painted sketchbook studies and on edge control.

Love your videos! You simplify and breakdown concepts and skills so that a beginner to oil painting could understand completely what are the differences in oil painting compared to acrylic or watercolor painting. I learned alot! In this video around 15:17 min mark, you were painting on a brown pad. What kind of paper pad is it and where can I buy one? I wish to practice on smaller paintings and that pad seems like a economical way to start. Did you gesso it first? Thank you

I just started oil painting. No thinners. I don't have money for it so I'm doing straight paint. However, my first painting is turning out beautiful. I'm doing a portrait of my cat in the sink. She is a dilute calico. She looks so realistic and my family wants to frame it. I have really no experience in paint but subconsciously I've been following ur tips. I've been doing the painting nonstop while it's wet. Doing sections at a time and I thought it would be hard and get muddled, but I've managed to keep the colors separate and blend well also. I'm really excited. I've been drawing for years. Anime, realistic, nature, ect. My grandmother's both are painters. I just thought on trying something new

Ah thanks. I learned some of these nuanced ideas on my own but having it presented well and fast makes it easier to summarize or hand off to a younger artist. Struggling with the is or is not everything is a product phase rn,...

12:17 I just had an idea. I'm not sure what the contraption is called but let's call it a compass. If you extend the legs on the other side to be longer and you have a bolt and a wingnut you can adjust the connection point you can pretty easily enlarge a photo or something small with better precision, right? You use the extended legs on the other side of the wingnut on the painting to get some crucial points at the right places and Bob is your aunt's husband. Am I the last to know or is it a good idea? :D

Thank you!

Yet another great inspiration! I only wish I could afford more paper/canvas to paint on

That's a really good idea to take a video and narrate notes on what you are seeing in the scene. I'm going to try that

Looking back at older pieces has taught me that I don't need to try to make everything smooth and blend fully because u can lose the character of the piece when u try to go too far

Thank you paint coach, awesome video! do you mind making a video about the way you get to film your process and show your workspace? I’m looking to start as well but struggle to set my webcam above my head lol

I always paint sitting down and it works fine. I make detailed animal portraits so maybe thats why

Ive learned so much from you :)

I have the opposite problem of drawing opposed to paining. I’ve only been someone who draws and now I’m trying to get into watercolor.

Lot's of good info here.

Your eyes have a better “exposure latitude” than a camera meaning you can see detail in darks and lights that a sensor can’t. But many cameras have a “bracket” setting so it takes 3 photos at a time where one is under and one over exposed Thanks for the amazing video!

Thank you! Great advises! Do you have video about exercising composition?

Thanks paint coach! I’ve been painting for a year or two, how long would you say it takes to master painting? How many years has it taken you/ do you feel you have more time to go?

Great video 🙌 Thank you for 🙏 How do I find the right time to varnish the final painting? How do I know if the paint is dry enough in every layer?

I usually use the contrast filter and desaturate filter, whoch are default in your phone and the grid as well, but it doesn't take money, as it is all default, and then print that photo.

Thanks.

Hi, I am from India. I love watching and learning from your videos. Could you please make some videos on composition? It's great to learn from you offline one day! 💫

I really love your approach to painting , And went over to your page on page, however, I cannot afford the prices.

Chris, you truly have an artist's laptop!

If you have a commission/assignment, do whatever gets the best results. Trace, project, decoupage your reference onto the medium, and go from there. If you're screwing around off the clock, do whatever floats your boat. Peace.

Love the new hair do, as usual the content is very helpful and an “aha” few bulb moments. Thanks . Also what is ur name 😊

Bravo!!!

I was always taught to hold the brush close, can’t imagine how floppy it would be with the distance.

Is there any chance at all that you could do an in depth lesson on broken colour? Including tips on how to pick colours for the technique? thanks

Should we apply all the techniques to every kind of paint? My daughter has a natural ability we are trying very hard to nurture😊 She’s now 11 and got the opportunity to try to get into the heart for art program at school, which we are going to have to put off until next year so the next year I want to help her achieve any tips and techniques that will encourage her🎨🥰 We aren’t attempting any oil anytime soon but I love your channel 😉
