I called it "winter work", but no snow here where I am now in the SW, but it's starting to get too hot for plein air work, so it may become my summer work!

Folks stick with Mark. It will be good for you if you are a beginner. I remember watching some of his stuff a decade ago when I was just starting out and it got me to look at value and color instead of painting "things". Flash forward a decade and now I'm a nationally represented artist with press and awards. Stick with it and never quit working hard every single day.

Good for you, you've found the key to life. Work hard and rewards will come; that can be applied to any line of work, but it seems especially satisfying in creative work!

Dude, so cool. I looked up your art after seeing this comment and it's really very inspiring. Congrats on your success. Would love to see videos of your own painting process. But thanks for this comment, I feel more confident about following Mark now!

@@harlequingurls879 One of the nicest things about art is its accessibility and availability to anyone who can hold a brush and see well enough. Excellent videos, like this one, as well as books, are everywhere to help one to "self-learn" all about it. Unlike other professions taking years of study and hard dedication, to even begin, with art you can dive in and learn by doing. I had a "real job" for years but did art all the time I could, beginning in 1974 when I was in grad school for a Master's degree in Science. Now I paint full time, or close to it, and in a nice gallery, and have many artist friends in a local plein air club. Just go for it, you'll never look back once you do!!

@@ronschlorff7089 Thanks for the input...i'm 20, i paint when i can, usually a few times a week. Painting full time is the dream. You're right, it is all about doing. Pushing through the bad paintings and the good paintings, trusting that it's all important and no painting was a waste of time or paint! I'm constantly reminding myself. Thanks for the inspiration :)

Inspiring. I'm very new to painting (~3 months), but I know I prefer more of a 'painterly' style (most of my favorite paintings reside in the ranges of impressionism/post-impressionism, some expressionism, and occasionally Fauvism, although I do really love some examples of realism). However, the bits of information I've found to be most useful and all-encompassing (aside from what's learned through reproductive studies of specific works) have come from Mark Carder and James Gurney -- both realist artists. I'm a classical cellist by trade, and in music I feel a thorough understanding and mastery of the fundamental aspects of playing the cello and interpreting music is the key to great artistry, and I get the same feeling here. From what I can tell, initially pursuing realism is the fastest way to meaningful personal expression in painting, and both Mark Carder & James Gurney have been invaluable resources. I owe much of my progress to them.

Ditto on that one!
This is a great technique. Painting with bold, visible brush strokes not only looks more interesting than putting in tiny peach fuzz and other mundane details that just make it look like a ubiquitous photograph instead of a unique painting, but it's actually easier and just plain more fun to paint like this. It's a "win win".

Robert To me, classical realism is accurate value, colour, and capturing what you see right in front of, mainly working from life, while photo-realism is about working from a photo and trying to get all the values right and all the little details in, which, realistically you can only see when working from a photo and not from life. I use the two terms, because you be a realist painter without aiming for photo realism.

Robert 😃 It took me a while to understand how realism changed, but its something I'm fascinated with as most people think of realism as photo-realism in a bit of an extremist way. Have fun exploring the two.
Magical to watch those peaches grow in front of me! Beautiful brush strokes and colors.
I really like how you show the reference picture on the left as you're painting. This is really helps me understand why you doing what you're doing as i look back and forth. I lot of videos i see its just the artist painting and its a little harder to follow along. You kinda explain this at 22:00. This for the video.
You’re the best teacher Mark, by far. Your methods are logical, precise, and understandable.
Thank you sir. I was an absolute beginner when I started learning from you 10 or so videos ago. So far, I ve made your color checker, paint brushes holder, and an 8 foot version of your easel (but oh, how I would love to buy the "newer" crazy awesome looking easel that you designed). I am from Malaysia and so, with the currency exchange plus shipping, I would need a really good excuse to spend that much (winsor & newton paints are at least five times cheaper) or my wife would have my head especially since I ve just quit my job. Still, when I get the chance/justification, I will buy Geneva paint to show you love. Basically, I just need to show wifey how I went from zero to "hey, you can paint" because of such a generous teacher like you. Also because I really want to buy your paint. Thank you Mr. Carder.

I am sort of the same as you and also was an absolute beginner. I followed every video exactly, built every item he showed, mixed every recipe. After all the mixing I realized it would not save me money to do that, might as well have bought his ready to paint paints. And, yes I also want his new improved easel, although the one I built seems to be fine so far. Thank you so much Mark Carder!!
I'm a painter from iran. Love your teaching lessons🙏🏻i'm learning so much. Thanks lord there are amazing masters like you that teach us free❤️❤️
Best online teacher I've met so far!!
Mark thank you for teaching us how to paint. I found your videos very helpful. Learning more than ever, thank you again.
The only fine artist on KZread who teaches you to mix colours.
I agree, this is so much better than a time lapse! Beautiful painting. I really appreciate the narration and tips.
You are so generous with your video demonstrations. As a beginner, seeing the mixing and how you put the paint onto the canvas is invaluable. This was a beautifully arranged still-life both for the colors and the design. Love your work!
What a lovely video. I'm fascinated by your statements about overblending making things look less realistic, and any texture + correct values will create the correct texture. This is going round and round in my head. So interesting.
Just wanted to tell you that this was a great demo. It was so cool to watch you paint this.
Mark, I think it is good for us to watch and judge while you paint, I know it helps me learn. You keeps us grounded on what is important. I love your style and comments. Thank you, John
Your confidence in your skills & steadiness of hand are unparallel. Hats off. Great colors. Worth buying.
I'm often touched by your demos and learn something or have some habit reinforced. Very helpful. Thank you!
I've been painting abstract for many years but for last 20 have been eyeing my tin colander used as a bread basket, tempted to try representational. Ive been tearing my hair out for the last 3 weeks wondering why I decided to take on a such a difficult endeavor . Magically your video appeared on my screen & now I know that blending was the source of my angst. Your video opened up a whole new world .Can't thank you enough !
Nice work, Mark. I always admire your skill as both a painter and teacher. You possess a rare talent for both.
Your training is outstanding. You have taught me so much with no confusion. Love your paintings they are so real looking.
It's another amazing video! The painting, the narration, and the palette shots are really helpful.
Beautiful painting and what an absolute pleasure to watch a tutorial that is not time-lapsed making me as sick as a roller coaster ride. Very many thanks Sir 🙏
I absolutely love the way you paint. Thank you so much for all your tutorials, they are very helpful.
Working on long painting atm and this video has come to me in a time of crisis. Exactly what I needed, I am eternally grateful thank you 🙏
thank you Mark kindly for sharing your gift and your expertise. I can watched many times each of your videos to assimilate the wealth of information you share with us, aside of the fact that you produce beautiful paintings. Truly yours, Georgina
Wow, learnt a lot from this vid! Especially the way even though your strokes aren’t going in the direction of, say, the curve of the peaches, you still get that it’s curved that way because of your colours/values.
I have painted 20 years and this is the first painting I focused on the values (after listening to this video loop four times while I painted peaches--it sunk in). I put away the pursuit of the pretty peach fuzz and took the advice of this man and my peaches look AWESOME. Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed how everything comes together in the end result. I feel like it's like a puzzle that you are putting together and all the pieces fit. It will take me a bit to get out of the acrylic aspect. Thank you so much for taking the time to share.
Beautiful work. I really enjoy hearing your comments and teaching. I'm teaching myself to paint and watching different youtube sites. I keep coming back to your videos over and over again. You do it all and you do it so well.
Thank you for your honesty. It is difficult to paint on video. Not only am I learning techniques for painting I'm learning so much about being an artist and realize all the things I think about ( or overthinking) is so common. I'm learning so much from these videos!
Just wonderful work. Thanks Mark. Please enjoy painting for us cause we really enjoy watching you.
I used to paint in oils 3 decades ago and did 7 pieces 3 years ago.Recently just had to urge to try again,last night i watched around 20 minutes of you video and all day today all I can think of is applying your techniques to my next work.Its simply awesome the way you teach.I JUST need to say thanks.
Fantastic Mark. I painted still life for 16 years and just got back into it in Feb 022, and have never, ever seen a technique like your's. It's really amazing. I will learn from your work. Thank you so much. More pallet time is right!!
Beautiful as always! My eyes can see those soft little hairs in your colours, the cooler shades being where the light reflects on the peach fuzz.
Watching you paint is so relaxing!
Absolutely amazing. Watching you paint reminds me how much fun it is to loosen up. What a pleasure to watch.
This was my first of your videos (and I will watch more of them). For me, it's so interesting to see your way of painting: to lay colors side by side and "build" a subject up, instead of e.g. doing an underpainting of the whole form. There are so many important and interesting tipps in the video! Thanks so much for sharing your experience, knowledge and... painting of course! Love it.
Thank you so much for your videos, you are an amazing teacher! Watching you paint is mesmerising.
Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing your process, skill, talent and insight!
Wow! Thank you so much for your big generosity. You explain so good. Thanks for the normal speed it so easier to unthrestand more. Your are the Best teacher on Internet. I was a long time looking for a teacher like you . Thank you.
i really appreciate that you painted the second painting from your first painting...it takes super talent to do that!
Mark you are a great master of painting and most of all is your sincerity and reliable information about painting. Your honesty and dignity are remarkable, one don't see this qualities now aday. Thank you so much. Such a treasure. You will always be blessed.
Incredible painting and incredibly informative. Thank you.
This was truly amazing. Thank you so much for your hard work and time.
This is great to run across, you and your teaching. Love both. Thank you.
It is much easier to paint if I focus on the values of the image, it helps me to see it as a whole, without overblending. It allows me to capture objects in a more proportionate way without over-detailing, just as the human eye does. Thank you so much!
They are so realistic looking, you are amazing. No way does it look painted. You are truly a master!
Thank you Sir for sharing so many amazingly valuable insights . I have voraciously watched every video you put up . I have bought your paints ( which are the best I have ever worked with ) and I have been painting for years trying pretty much every offer in paint. I also instruct and you have broken things down so very well in very easy to understand vocabulary. Your work is amazing always . Thank you so very much !!! 🤩‼️
I totally get it when you said, you didn’t know how to put it in words- yeah so excellent. I haven’t painted like this for decades but now feel inspired. I love painting. What you produced was a lovely piece that represented soft juicy peaches in a metal container- not easy 🙌🏻🙏
Great painting. Love your process and mixing your colors on your palette is so important.
Thank you for your instruction and the demonstrations. The methods are great and very helpful. 💖
Love the way you explain
Yes I’m judging your work,it’s fabulous just plain fabulous!
JUDGING YOUR WORK?!?! No way, you're so talented, and a good teacher, i could never judge, quite the opposite, i'm just sitting here admiring what you can do, trying to not go crazy while i paint, i've just started you know. Thank you for the free lessons by the way.
I could watch you paint anything as you make it look so easy, when I know it is not. Great video!
In love with ur pallete. Enjoyed ur video ,helped me a lot.
I always judge your work as you go along........and I always conclude that you are one heck of a talented artist!

Thank you- Mark- from the very bottom of my heart.

This may be the best painting demonstration on YT.
Love your videos and paint! I’d love to see this type of video with portraits and shadows. Thanks for another great video.

Amazing! They looked like real peach. Thank you for sharing.
honestly this channel is an invaluable resource
This is incredible love your work !!!! Amazing learning soo much
Thank you so much mark for the new video... fantastic painting!!!
I like the way you teach. You have an artist's mind and I am going to go check out more of your videos! Thanks
Mark, I just can't thank you enough for your videos and teachings. The best way I can thank you is buy supporting your art products because they are better than anything I've used before. You would not believe me if I told you how many brands of paint I have, most not used. I have spent so much money and never finding what I was looking for. Now I have, I love your paints. And I'm waiting on my easel as I write this, can't wait:-)
You're right... I was judging this the whole time. And I declare it most excellent! Thanks for your earnest efforts to remove some of the mystery from your mastery.
Thank you for this. I enjoyed the brush work.
😲 wow!!! Thank you for this demo! I really enjoyed every second of the video.
This and your other videos really help me feel more open and comfortable with oil paints and I can’t wait to give them a try! Where you mentioned about spending more time working on your palette then on the canvas itself - I completely understand what you mean, even as a acrylic paint user (and even watercolor too) I spend more time mixing my colors, mixing various shades and tints, color matching, testing it out, adjusting any thickening or flow mediums added - then I do actually putting that color onto the canvas. Even little DIY crafting or now miniature painting - I’m spending more time prepping the paints and mixing then paint time. I don’t feel so crazy now if someone like you goes through that also
What a great demo. Thanks so much. I still have your dvds for portrait painting and for oil painting! It has been a long time but I like it very much. Thanks so much for the time and effort making the videos. Many blessings and please be safe. Greetings from Illinois.
Truly amazing tutorial!
I took up oil painting this year and have been at it for about two months through a weekly class. This was such a helpful video, thank you! It's also nice to hear how long you spend time on your palette mixing colors because I feel like I'm mixing colors for an eternity!
I found your videos yesterday evening, you have opened my eyes, thank you...
What a wonderful teaching video, it has helped me a lot. I am just starting off using oils. Thanks you Mark.
I love this so much! Thanks so much for all you do Mark! 💙
Dear Mark, It's great to see a master at work!
EXCELLENT VIDEO SIR! I always been pre-mixing my colour since watching your colour mixing videos a very long time ago and I find that my work is much better when I do pre-mixing and then ad extra mixes during painting as there are variations like you said. It was difficult to try and strictly stick to the pre-mixed colours alone for my paintings. Thanks for clearing this up by putting it out there. Your videos are very helpful! Thank you.
Really helpful. Ran into this day before I plan to paint peaches tomorrow. Picked some off my dad's tree and arranged them and took a photo. Thanks very much.
I'm so glad to hear you emphasize the importance of palette time! Also, I never would have guessed that about Sargent. All the more reason for me to focus on that mixing. :)
El mejor profesor del mundo qué he visto! Sencillamente maravilloso!! Gracias maestro!!💯😍
i dont understand, how can you just look at stuff and know what colors to mix. amazing.
