I love the way you never ‘waffle’. You get straight to the point and give clear and direct instructions. As a teacher , you’re outstanding.

Chris, I think you are the new Bob Ross. I don’t mean with respect to style or approach to painting. But through your KZread channel and Patreon page you make oil painting accessible for beginners and thereby encourage more people to take up art. This has many benefits, like for mental health for example. I, for one, am extremely grateful to you.

This channel has made learn so much about getting better at painting, you are officially my favorite artist ❤️

Thank you for keeping it simple. I've been painting for years but run into the same issues and your clarity reminds me of basics and I really appreciate that.

Amazing and pleasant instructions!!! So many people CAN NOT teach …you are the very best instructor

It's nice to see a progression of the long pandemic hair 😉

You are great. I started painting about three months now and specialize in neo traditional and realism, but what you do is much more beautiful!!!

Wow, thank you!

Just purchased all my painting supplies yesterday and subscribed to your Patreon! I'm so excited!

You’re so easy to listen to and explain everything with such a common sense approach. I’ve been doing mostly watercolors and acrylics, but my sonn just bought me a oil paint set. I haven’t tried it yet but look forward to it. It’s always been intimidating for me, but your videos are making me a little more brave lol. Thanks for sharing your talents. Be safe💚

Your channel is seriously underrated! I literally subscribed in two videos! I’m happy you chose this topic since I love painting flowers but have only used references,never still life. ❤️🥰

You are such a good instructor, thank you so much for your thoughts and direction!

Me: Literally in class with my mouth open in amaze 😍😍

You are an excellent coach Chris and a wonderful painter! Thank you for sharing your knowledge !

Thanks Chris for another highly informative video! I’m glad you painted the sunflowers to show a variety of flowers. Your videos are top notch and I enjoy painting the beautiful beach scenes of Florida. Since I live in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 we have such different landscapes to paint. I would love to see you paint Group of Seven scenery.

Phenomenal advice and beautiful paintings as always. Thanks Coach! You've quickly become one of my favourite artists on KZread. 🤘♥️

Love you, your videos and the music in it! You make ne feel better! Thanks!

I saw one of your videos yesterday. Today I tried oil painting for the first time. I am in love with both your channel and my new favorite medium.🥰

Great tips! Thanks for sharing this class!

I've been wanting to paint some flowers for a Christmas gift, but I wasn't sure on how to start, this helped me tons tysm!!

I've been following your way of approach to oils and your technique is showing up on my canvas. Amazing how big of a difference the knowledge of value shifts and blocking colors can make! Grateful for the knowledge :) much love and appreciation from India 🙏

Fantastic Chris. So helpful.

Amazing tips in this playlist, it makes oil painting feel less overwhelming. Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much! This channel is so amazing and has helped me learn so much! Something that I really struggle with is ears for portraits. They kind of look like pinkish, orangish blobs when I paint them. Thank you so much for everything!

Great video. I really like your finished products.

wow you're very generous with your sharing of your skills, thank you

Thanks a lot. Your tips are very useful. I come to know more from your instructions. You are a good master.

thank you very much Chris!! Love your videos and you taught me so much! appreciate your content very much

Salute to Dennis Perrin & Daniel Keys. They're the first ones I think about when it comes to flowers as well. Even though they don't mainly paint flowers, I also like Carol Marine & Quang Ho's floral paintings.

Chris always informative

Awesome 😎👍👍 the flowers 🌺 are beautiful ❤️❤️❤️👍👍 love your art👍👍👍👍

Beautiful explanation, thank you for your advice.

Useful tips, many thanks

Hola! You are by dar the BEST art teacher I hace come across on you tuve.gracias desde España.

Great video!!! The musical equivelent of painting a flower is a Major 7th chord. I've been known to play a few tunes...

Wow, I love your hair so much, congratulations 😍😍😍

Just found your channel. This was very helpful, I will give this a try and see how I can do. Thanks so much.

Very helpful thank you go ahead 💐

Really good tutorial! Thanks for sharing :)

Bro, thanks for coaching us up!!

great advice thankyou

Usefull tips. Thanks for sharing)) working on my sunflower painting right now and will upload result on my channel. 😊

Thank you! I have just painted a picture that I now know to call a study. We are in hard lockdown in my area because of the virus, so I can’t actually go to the spot I wanted to paint & have had to do it from memory instead. But now I know this is a study, so that’s fine. I’ll be able to correct it when we can go out again. Thanks for the fab video. You are such an inspiring educator. TED talk soon?

Hi, I am new to your channel & am so happy to have found it. In just a few short days, I have received answers to so many of my questions. Here is a question I still have: should I set aside brushes for only lights, only darks, only cools, & only warms? Or should I not worry about it? Thanks!

Great Video! Makes me feel less scared to attempt flower painting. I was wondering if you could do a video on painting clear objects like the glass vase?

I love this video! could you do one about 5 tips for painting mountains?

Very very good.

oh boy flowers yah lol no i should do a flower still. I don't do them enough. when i do i use light coming from my windows if it looks good. thanks i really enjoy looking forward to your vids.

thank U ❤️❤️

I've been picking up oil painting again and I've always been told to mix with a pallette knife. but I look at your videos (amazingly helpful and entertaining!) and you are just using your brush. what are your thoughts on mixing colors? thanks!

This is all such awesome advice - I have learned so much already. You talked about trying to resist adding white to colours to make them chalky, can you point me towards a video that talks about darkening colours as I still get confused about whether to add mars black, ivory black or payne's grey - especially for shadows. Thanks in advance!! :)

Hi Chris, I would love to see video on how to take care of the brushes. I have a lot of them that, no matter how much I care about them, are stiff (especially natural bristle.

The bristles on my fine detail brush just disappeared! I vote for this too

once again, thanks.

When I recently started digital painting at least every weekend, the first painting after months to take off the rust, (I am trying to speed up my painting process) I looked at my painting and was like "damn, this came out bad." I tired to fix it but could not. I started on a new one and it was better. Then I looked at that first painting and realized what I did wrong. When I stopped painting for a long time I lost my eyes. In that I mean I was staring at the painting and adding what I think what should be there instead of focusing on the reference and painting what I see. (of course not all the details) This is a known habit of mine and it's always my culprit on why the likeness is off. That's why my #1 rule was Paint what you see, not what you think you see. I try to tell this to everybody. There are two images. The one in front of you and the one that is simplified by the mind. If you are not constantly switching your eyes back and forth from the reference to the painting you are most likely painting the image in your mind and not what's in front of you. I knew this rule and yet I broke it when I came back from a hiatus on painting. (That's why I am doing it every Saturday and Sunday now.) If you spend more than 4 seconds looking at the painting and putting down strokes, you are most likely painting from your mind and not life. I did that when I came back from hiatus (I am not a pro yet so I don't know if I can call it hiatus.) I am recommending this channel to everyone.

Your tips have really helped me become an artist... not just a stick figure painter 👩‍🎨 😂! One issue I have is looking at my photo and being able to transfer it into a painting. Size, shape is never right... any tips? I usually do best painting from imagination rather than a photo.

Looks like Sergeant did them!

Is there a tutorial for the white roses ? Which colors did you use?

I love the way you paint, and I want to learn but before I commit, I have to ask if I can learn with acrylics instead of oil?

Hey Chris , I remember you saying you had issues with painting cars on a previous video when you were in college or your earlier painting years . Im pretty timid of doing portraits being that everything needs to be exact or it looks out of place and I feel like cars are in a way much similar . Can you elaborate more on what helped you fix your issue with cars as well as where to begin when painting cars . Is it just like everything else with applying the basics as far as simplifying everything and finding the shapes and values ? Or is there a particular area you should always do first when doing cars? I have a friend who wants me to paint his favorite car a "slug-bug" and Ive been doing practice painting after practice painting with different view points and angles and I just cant get it to look right . Any tips would really help and also would be appreciated. Thanks bro !

I love these pics. Can you post links to them?

I like to paint flowers, I usually painting sunflower 🌻 too so I not finish yet bye

Check out Georgia O'Keeffe and Vincent Van Gogh for some interesting ideas for composition. Looking great Chris! Keep em coming!

@@alexderuiter1505 Key to painting nature. A good understanding between background, middleground, foreground. Having a vision about the end result is vital. This way one can know where the painting is going. (Only for creative stuff we let go and enjoy whatever happens on the canvas) Rest is just tones. Colours wont even matter. They just add extra flavour.

If you can’t get a likeness, change the hair & pretend it’s someone else. Follow me for more art advice ; )

I love your coaching for painters channel but have a problem with your new hairstyle (little girly). I liked your look when you were more manly, too many male teachers have a female look and demeanor. Please don't take offense, I like gender separation, this is just my opinion.
