I teach the world about art and maybe a few things about the life of an artist. If you want to become a better artist, you're in the right place! There is an overwhelming amount of information about how to be a better artist out there. I condense it down for you in a no-nonsense way that's easy to understand....Go paint :-)
stop worrying and be yourself on youtube
Hey everyone Nathan here. You may have noticed that my channel name has changed. I painted under a brush name for many years "Max Cole" but its time to break out! My name is Nathan Clements and I'm here to share what I know about making art and maybe a little about the real life of an artist. Lets go!

Hello! Thank you for the encouragement. I just started my channel too. Not sure my goals with it other than to share my journey as an artist maybe to empower others along the way. I followed ya!
@208amanda_martinez That's great that you started a channel too! The world needs artists to bring as much beauty and love into existence as is possible. Art is healing and beauty is a salve to the soul. Thanks for stopping by and for the follow, I really appreciate it. Cheers!
Are you Phil's son? If you are please tell him I said hi, we use to play a online game together. Either way good luck and I subscribed and will look for your videos. Thank, Todd
@will_i_am No I'm not Phil's son but I've been known to play some online games myself. It's a great stress reliever and downright fun. Single malt scotch helps too 😉. Thanks for the follow and for stopping by my channel. More to come!👍
Very cool. Thank you. I might have missed. Do you inter layer medium when painting underpainting in oils as well? Thanks.
@filmic1 When using oil paint to do your underpainting, use 1-2 drops of cobalt system drier ( from natural pigments website) in each pile of paint you are using and 5-10 drops of turpentine or the paint thinner of your choice. Using these too things you can layer your underpainting using oil paints. It's a sound practice to underpainting using oils but it dries much slower and will take you about a week to complete your underpainting. It's best to use a fast drying paint like acrylic for your underpainting. You can finish it in a matter of 10 minutes and be able to immediately start in oils. Cheers!
What is the purpose of these color layers in their use for the painting to follow?
Thank you very much. I really want to see the painting you did on top of it.
Great info. But how do you think us hairdressers cope with the noise all day 😂😂😂😂
I love this video with the “opal” under painting. Really beautiful! I hope you will make more video’s!
Fantastic show and tell of Underpainting, thank you so very much!
Is this an intuitive painting? Do you paint indirectly as well . Great job
Does anyone know why you put medium on between the layers of acrylic paint? I'm hoping to hear back from the artists, keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks!
@MaxColeArt - Thank you for showing us this beautiful process for underpainting (toning) our canvases! It's beautiful! And much appreciated! I was wondering the reason behind putting the acrylic medium down between the acrylic paint layers. I'm just learning to underpaint (tone) my canvases. I'm a beginner with art. I'm hooked & just love it!! 💜 I cannot get enough!! I wish I could work on art every day, 8+ hours a day. I really appreciated your video & showing us this great technique! Your canvas turned out beautiful! I like leaving drips, spray splashes, graphite marks, & other marks in my paintings showing through, & having that underpainting (toned) canvas is going to be of great help to my art! I'm excited to start working on a canvas I've underpainted (toned). The white canvas can also be daunting at times. When I started to try your underpainting process, I forgot to put the medium down before the layers of paint. So now I have 2 colors down with no medium, & am thinking I'll just have to not put the acrylic paint down with the medium this time I'll for sure remember from now on. Please let me know the reason why medium is put in between the layers of acrylic paint. I would really appreciate your feedback. Thank you for your assistance & teaching us how to make a beautiful underpainting (toned) canvas! 💜 #MaxColeArt I @ be overjoyed to hear back from Max Cole Art, but if he doesn't respond, can someone tell me why you put medium between the layers of acrylic paint for your underpainting (toning)? Thank you!
This is exciting, thanks for this . I like the idea of intuitive painting, hope to see more of that from you .
This was really interesting! Thanks for doing this. Also going to check out your ebay!
Your work is so beautiful!!
Please do more videos, this is wonderful.
Great process! I’d love to find more from you…are there any videos showing how you formed the trees and brush? I love that. Thanks.
Hi Max, I’m just beginning/ learning. If I’m doing a snow/winter scene, would I still use a warm/cool under painting or stick with cool colours. Thanks for the video, great advise, looking forward to seeing what I can manage to produce using it.
Thank You
Where is the 2nd half of this video? Or, is there a followup video?
How do you define Value Five?
I so wish you would post more videos. Three just isn’t enough. Please consider making a few more. Or at least one on how you go through the intuitive process of finding your picture after doing the underpainting. Is it the same as when you look for images in clouds, because that’s what I do. Would love to hear your process from the underpainting stage to just before you start applying color to the sky.
I'm sure we all are missing your precious tutorials which are so different
I am a novice painter. I knew to use an underpainting, but never knew what color to use. Thanks for enlightening me.
I was going to give painting a try but this looks way too complicated. It takes a boatload of supplies. I think I will go with my second choice, color pencils.
What not to do when making your videos. I see this all the time. Brush to canvas took over five minutes. He could have been talking about the process during application,
my art teacher kept telling me to do an under painting bc otherwise the painting would like, “dull and bad”
Thank you so much!! I am taking beginning painting class online and Im a little lost on the "how do I do that" part or "how do I achieve that effect" part of painting and especially showing HOW you use the medium and WHEN. Thank you!!!!!!!!!
we want more of this really
I have to thank you for this. I was using a greenish purplish reddish underpainting for paintings, but there was a stillness to my paintings. When I used this technique it seemed strange at first but as soon as i started painting the first sienna outlines everything jumped out. BRilliant. This is the perfect underpainting technique. I love the practical idea of using cling film for the underpainting so you can just take it off afterwards. Thank you so much from a British guy living in Spain. You are helping so many people with this!
This is the best info that I’ve had for an under painting. Thanks
I love this. I’m learning but want to try this for the beginning of a pop surrealist painting. I love experimenting.
Brilliant. Big fan of your work
Hi. can you make a video teaching glazing? I noticed the color theme of painting completely changed from what you were painting. Please teach us glazing techniques that you used.
Hi. Thank you for the amazing video. I have two questions. First how can we do this underpainting for oil painting? Since acrylic dries fast but oil painting is not. So how can I paint over and over to achieve this under painting when I am using oil painting? Also What is value 5? and last can I convert normal colors to transparent? Thank you in advance for your kind attention.
You can use acrylic under oil paints, which a lot of artists do as it dries much more quickly.
I have seen Dennis Shehan within you. Thanks a lot. Keep posting more tutorials. Love and respect from India.
Hi is underpainting required for all kinds of paintings Can you please specify which kind of painting should always have an underpainting and which painting doesn’t require much of underpainting. I’m assuming still live should always have underpainting I’m new to painting, mainly using acrylic as my medium
There is no rule, it's about working out what looks good to your eye and what creates the finish you wanted to present.
Fantastic video. Thanks
I like your underpainting approach. Do you apply this approach for landscaping mainly or any other themes like still life, portrait etc. as well?
Wish he would of gave more details like this and also made a painting in this video
During this time of Coronavirus you are AGAIN helping me continue my education to better artwork with this underpainting session (which I saw last year but it means more NOW!!!!) THANK YOU!!!!!
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!
Hi! Sooo, I did an underpainting with oil and gamsol yesterday. (Lightly)I realized that I might’ve made a mistake because I wasn’t planning on using oil for the entire way. Can I still paint acrylic over this? Please advise 🙏🏼
You can put oil over acrylic but not the opposite, because the acrylic won't stick well to the oil underneath it and over the time the painting won't hold up well
Thank you, superb, you have helped me. Subbed!
Nah, don't use black ,you can create your own blacks.
Most of the greatest masters in the history of painting disagree with you...and I do to. Black is powerful. This nonsense that black can be duplicated is utter nonsense. A dark VALUE can be duplicated but the versatility and special qualities of black can't. Experienced painters know this.
Sublime! So beautiful, thank you for sharing this.
My pleasure Alan. Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Max. I just found your channel. I have yet to find information on underpaintings and the reason for it and how to go about doing it. I'm going to give this a try and see what happens. I see you only made 3 videos. I sure hope to see more from you.
Definitely give it a try. I think you will love it. More videos coming very soon.
Why did you stop making vids?
I've made several more. Uploading soon. Stay tuned...
Useless. He does not explain why you need gesso, then medium then colour before you start painting. A beginner needs explanations. He repeats use warm over cool and then begins with a warm colour!
Michael Brennan Not useless if you have a brain and can figure things out for yourself and not fully rely on teachers for everything :)
Sir what do you ise to make your oil paints thinner? Mine is thick as toothpaste or worse. I definitely cant do this with mine as they are
Scoot, you can use a small amount of linseed oil to thin paint that is way to thick. I often will use linseed oil mixed with "system cobalt dryer" from Natural Pigments and apply a thin coat to the surface of the painting before beginning to work. Be careful not to dilute your paint too much as it will de-saturate your color. In general, it is best to leave your paint alone unless it is completely unworkable or you are trying to achieve a specific effect with a medium. Thanks for stopping by...
Where is the art instruction in classical tonalist manner with art entertainment & fun? Sound with no dialogue!
