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.

    I think the student’s painting at 13:45 was brilliant. Everything is taken slightly further than yours, but in a way I like. It’s still loose enough, and yet it looks like you could reach out and grab everything. I would certainly consider purchasing something like that.

    I'm on the fence about each one. I liked how simplified the student's work was, and how the cow seems to have attitude, but I did like the rendering in his as well. I think part of the problem with teaching is trying to give students who are well on their way something extra to take away from the lesson. It's much easier to do when a student is starting out, but later on it becomes more and more subjective vs. objective or personal opinion vs. universally agreed upon as "better".

    He didn't take into consideration that the student painted hydrangeas, while his were another type of flower...it would be a different shape and different values as they are shaped differently. i can clearly tell what type of flower the student painted. That being said, I do think their vase has too many values, and the rest looks better overall than his reference painting. (though the student's grapes do seem to be floating in air...meaning not enough value on the table to show where they lie properly.

    Can we talk about how the student’s grapes and orange at 13:20 look hyper realistic? Wow. For the rest of the painting, I feel as though the flowers weren’t hyperrealistic enough actually, and it seemed two different styles of painting occurring from top to bottom. Also the background was very flat black and didn’t have much depth. Overall a lot of strengths in that painting if you’re going for hyperrealism instead of an impressionist piece. Being able to execute a specific style consistently throughout a piece is not an easy task.

    I wish, in your "persona" as the Paint Coach, you would do an avant-garde piece - which of course as you know is what the artist does over time - video being the perfect format for such a bit of esoteric adventure. Something along the lines of wrestling someone in a large tube of paint costume (pick the color) in a small inflatable pool filled with washable non-toxic colors, all of this done in downtown Sarasota, the media having been alerted before-hand of course. While these instructional videos are helpful, something like that would certainly provide a needed relief and texture.

    Your way is not wrong at all. There is no specific rule about mixing colours earlier or mid painting. For some painters, certain tonal values pops up in their mind during the painting process and they mix those tones and improvise. Others prepare a certain amount of color tones earlier and this works too! Especially for portraits and bigger works

  • @merryryely

    I don't think you're wrong. When you premix, you just need to make sure that your premixed colors are right from the start before putting the colors on the canvas. I've seen some artist blur their reference to get the basic color values, then print it out. Cut it up to separate the colors you'll need, then mix the colors according to those cut outs as reference. Personally I have no patience to do all that. But it might help you if you prefer that method.

    Respectfully, the more of these I watch, the more I firmly start believing that the biggest thing that the students are lacking, is not enough experience really delving into colour theory. You need to really *study* all the properties of your individual paints. Hue, value, chroma, temperature, harmony, and in doing so you will begin to accurately predict what colour is needed (and why it is needed) - as well as how to mix it
