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" around Sarasota Florida.

    Great job. I'm detailed realistic orientated and been painting for decades probably before this artist was born, and never was satisfied with my flower painting because I had not recognized that zen of stepping back and being loose with flowers and the color intelligence.Thanks to him and other artist for sharing there beautifully work and techniques

    Hi Paint Coach. I enjoyed watching this video and checked out your other videos, as well. The kinds of tutorials that are most useful to me are the step by step ones. I've been painting in oils for 10 years and I'm always looking for new sites to follow. Usually, the ones that are most helpful to me are about an hour long or so.

    Hey - I really enjoyed your video and just watched your story. It's amazing how all realist artists seem to hit the same wall when it comes to art instruction. I'm much older than you, and when I was in school, painting class was all about abstract art. We got ZERO instruction. I just started uploading tutorial videos on my KZread channel and am getting ready to start a flower painting and came across this video. You did a great job explaining. I've been watching flower videos for a couple days to see what is out there. I've painted flowers in the past, but there is always more to learn. That is what makes KZread for artists so much fun. I wish you the best of luck on your channel. I love the concept of "Paint Coach". I'll be checking out some of your other videos as well.

    Shelley Hanna thanks! I’ve heard from other artist that actually learning how to draw and paint is coming back in a lot of schools. It was definitely not at USC when I was there. My main goal with this channel is to let people know they CAN oil paint just as easily if not easier than other mediums. Good luck with your channel! Subscribed! 👍🏻👨🏻‍🎨

    @@paintcoach so if you wipe it off, it won't need the top layer to be thinner anymore? And does this base coating make the surface any softer to paint on? Thanks xxx

    Writing it down here so I can use it later if needed: 1. Good reference 2. Composition 3. Don't focus on details from the start, first get the general value and shape 4. Lay darks first (build up to light) 5. Put background colour asap 6. Don't use pure white 7. If your lights aren't light enough then probably your darks aren't dark enough 8. Always check your values 9. Look for reflective light 10. Detail isn't everything
