Oil Painting for Beginners Step by Step Flowers

So I have been asked a lot by my students how to handle complex subjects. When you have to paint something with a ton of shapes and color and value shifts what do you do? That's what I answer in this video on how to paint flowers. I break down my process of painting a complex subject such as flowers.

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" in my new home of Sarasota Florida.

    My dad was an oil painter and he loved painting so much. He passed away 6 months ago and all of his painting materials were left in my room. Whenever I look at them I get sad they weren't used anymore. Now I am trying to learn to paint and I'm so glad I found your channel. Thank you! I'll try my best to practice.

    Love the Clint Eastwood bit. Made me lol 😂. Your approach makes it easier to just get started, by just getting something general down and refining it as you go along. Very helpful!!

    rose water was in my room when I was painting this beautiful rose. i like the black background that made the rose outstanding. the color you choose were very appropriated. i think the right color for rose with value really have a big role to look so real and pretty.

    Is linseed oil absolutely necessary? If a person only had paint thinner, would that work? And just used less and less thinner to create that graded scale thing you showed?

    The thing i struggle with is lights. Literally, lights. Light bulbs, flashlights, sun rays. Anything that emits light. How do i show that something is shining without covering up whats underneath? A street light, for example. How do i paint the rays from the light without covering up the buildings or trees in the background behind the light? Do i thin the paint so its more transparent? What do you do?
