The story of your grandmother's portrait and your mom and aunties is very touching.

Knowing makeup is sooooo helpfull for portrait painting

I bought Chris's Portrait Painting 101. It is the best purchase I have ever made online. I have bought other portrait painting courses online but although I could paint along with the instructor - I could not apply it to my own painting. With Chris's course, you will be able to paint your very own portraits!

I love that you painted your grandmother and how you honored her like this for her funeral!! And you painted 3 more for your aunts ❤❤❤ I’m a beginner now, but I hope to be able to paint nice portraits one day, later on I will try your portrait class for sure!

Literally the best painter out there

The best?

Few hours ago I found your channel and I am so glad that I found you because I recently started oil painting and I am studying fine arts June is fu of holidays and I wanted to improve my skills i atleast watched like 6-7 videos of yours its so helpful I'm so glad and thank you for educating 🌼

Excellent video Chris. Thanks for posting

Great informative video as always. Love listening to these painting conversations

Very helpful videos man, would love to see a video on the mechanics of preparing for an art exhibit.

your channel is what i have been missing! you make sense of the craft, i was so overwhelm with the information out there, such a blessing to have found you

Thank you for always giving great tips👏🏼

Man you have taught me so much. Finally did my first oil today, and really my first painting. I’m really proud and don’t think I would have been able to just do it without your help. Thank you

Chris has such an amazing ability to break the process down in manageable steps AND to articulate in a way that makes the process so much more understandable that he compels me to set aside fear and give it a try. His Fundamentals course was the first course I ever took for oil painting, or for any art for that matter. That was 2 years ago. He gets me painting over and over again, by removing the factors that create intimidation. I’m so thankful for his expert coaching skills. I’m looking forward to signing up and taking his portrait class soon- portraits are a subject I’ve been too intimidated to try. Thank you, Coach.

Wow, thanks for showing all those amazing portraits. All of them but especially those kids, so great! (Partly because it’s a less static pose, maybe). 😊 I loved the story about the aunts. I don’t know why I can’t paint consistently, Chris! All that stuff in “Art and Fear” and “The War of Art”, for a start. Plus some life difficulties. But I appreciate your content, and you are a great teacher! Congrats on 334k subs, dang!

tons of great info I'm learning so much from these videos. Seeing organic shapes as polygonal planes is a great help. in computer graphics it's called a "low poly" model, sometimes you can find reference images by image searching what you're looking for followed by 'low poly'.

Very well done

Bravo!!!! Great video!

You are a fantastic teacher my guy

i envy you! everytime someone has asked me to draw them they say it doesn’t look like them so I kind of gave up. But this is still a skill I hope to master someday

Love your work!!

this info is so much usefull! everything its so interesting im like clicking video after video its fantastic thank you!

I have experienced what you mentioned. I also noticed that sometimes exaggerating something about a feature can make it look more lie the person.

I hit like button, subscribed to this channel (lol) and love all your paintings and videos and information you share. ❤🎉

I thought you might like to know the one thing I have learned from you which I utterly appreciate. I don't recall which video you said it in, I think it may have been a flower vid, but you stated "If the painting isn't working on a base level, then it's not going to work. Stop trying to fix it or adding to it." Of course that isn't verbatim but that tip stuck in my head and I hear it over and over when I'm doing a piece that just isn't working. So I stop. Toss the canvas and begin again. I really just wanted to say thank you very much because that advice has helped a lot.

thank you

Insane again Chris!

Chris, it looks like I missed your special on Portrait Painting 101. Will you be having another one any time soon?

Thanks Chris! Great video! I am a patron of yours and was hoping you might consider a video explaining edges! You have said beginners always want to define them...guilty here. When and how should we keep them soft? Thank you!

Amazing 🔥.

So glad to have found your channel. I tried to enrol in the Portrait 101 course, but the coupon code PAINT 100 was 'invalid'. Why was that?

the "specimen"! this is very important! as it carries you to the upfront!

Mancrush Monday... Paintcoach is crushing on Nic Cage, I'm crushing on Paintcoach for his insane insights into our painting journey. Thank you sir!

hey there, i really appreciate your vids. lots of helpful, useful and constructive info!! a question: the palette you mentioned for skin tones (ivory blk, cad. red, tit. white, and ylo ochre) is that for caucasian complexions or for all complexions. again, i really enjoy your vids and am learning things that i missed in my art classes. they were probably taught but i just never caught on - my loss!

Chris- I am in the middle of your portrait class and have learned SO MUCH already. I also appreciate your KZread videos because I always glean additional info here as well. I have two portraits to do this year and now I already have the confidence to create them. ❤

Awesome, thank you!

Do you offer one on one virtual lessons? Didn’t see this option when I followed your link but not assuming it’s not available. I’m an intermediate level artist looking to take my work to a higher level and seeking an Art Coach.

Nyl that Chris Farley is top tier painting! 💯

I find using a proportional divider for checking proportions when painting subjects like portraits. Not a fan of gridding as it seems mechanical.

Hello, I wanted to ask how did you go about creating the plane model of the face? Is that the correct way to call it? This was very helpful th see the seperate shapes expecially in low contrast areas. I wonder if there is away to automate this with Ai, so far asking it to create a plane face gives uncanny results. Just seeing what other keywords I could use to create something like this from a movie still or any image. Thank you Your channel is fantastic, found you via Andrew Tischler.

How can I learn the planes? Do I just remember them once I paint the one plastic model head exercise or do I have to do more to learn them

Thank you for all of your great instruction. Please describe where I can access your portrait course. I don’t see any links below your video. Thanks!

I'd like to take your course. I paint in acrylics. I love acrylics. Is it possible to take your course without using oils?

hello sir! is your portrait painting course viable for digital artists who are looking to do a more painterly style?

What red do you suggest if one has a cadmium red and Alrizarin Crimson and yellow between cadmium yellow light and Cadmium yellow deep??

Which app u use to original photo to blured photo

Wow❤

Do you think starting to paint on small canvases is harmful? is it better to start painting on large canvases?

One thing I'm still unclear on after watching your videos is how when you mix colors and load your brush, you end up with just a little paint on the end, even when you're not obviously using a bunch of medium. To get paint right out of the tube to mix, especially with a smaller brush it ends up completely caked and I have to clean the brush before I actually paint. You're able to mix colors instantly seemingly just by twitching the end of your brush. I'm using the Rosemary and Co brushes, so I can only assume you're using different paints than I am, or some technique is eluding me! Thank you for your videos and Patreon!

an update here: I bought some cheap centurion linen panels and the gamblin artist paints, and this was a lot easier!

Another question please, due to health issues I can’t work with the solvents that oil painting requires. Can I take your course and use acrylics? Thanks again for all of your inspiration!

You should try water mixable oils! I use Cobra Artist and they're so nice and you can wash them with Fairy. I bought a set that came with water mixable oil and everything. There's also a cheaper student line. Acrylic is a completely different technique, you need to let it dry between colors and layers, while with oil you can stack layers just by changing the texture.

ur portraits??? even a toddler can do it! there's no finesse!bah

5 min and 58 sec in we see Chris printed up a photoshopped portrait image and taped it next to his canvas. This makes the process pretty dang easy, doesn't it? No guesswork. Just mix your paint and lay down the shapes and colors the way photoshop says. Cheating???
