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.

Values do all the work and color gets all the credit. A principle to remember.
Fun fact: Joni Mitchell was a painter before she was paid to write, produce and perform her own music. I saw in an interview that she would write music and then paint during her break. While she was painting she would let her mind produce a noise which would later be added to her music.
Fascinating! How the creative mind works...
Your videos are so... illuminating!
lol thanks!
There's so much good info in a seven minute video, you're a good teacher.
Thanks!
Pithy - great painting and teaching.💐
You’re such a good teacher.
I’ve learned heaps of common sense from your demos. Not that I didn’t have any, but now I have more.
Thanks for another good one. Keep ‘em coming.😀
😎🇦🇺🦘
7 minute video packed with a ton of useful advice. Wow! You are a great teacher. Thanks!
I wish this dude had taught Calculus and Physics when I was kid! Outstanding instructor. He’s that rare magician who’s willing to explain the tricks of the trade. We are all lucky to have Chris around!
You are such an excellent teacher! I am currently switching from acrylic to oils and I am so totally grateful to have come across your channel. You have taught me so much (I totally binge watched almost all of your very informative videos LOL), and now I am confident enough to finally begin! I would have done everything wrong if it weren't for YOU hahah. Thank you so very very much for always encouraging us, going out of your way to teach us the correct way to do things, helping us figure things out, and also sharing your beautiful talent with us! Subscribed indefinitely
It's a great artwork! I am very happy to meet your very nice art. I am grateful. I learned a lot from your video. I respect and support you.
Great video, thanks. But I’d still love to see you do a nighttime urban scene at some point.
Without a doubt...one of the Most helpful videos I’ve ever seen! You said the lightest paint you used is white with some yellow and red. Can the same light effect be achieved using white with yellow ochre? Thanks for the great videos!❤️
You are a wonderful teacher ! I am totally grateful to you and thank you very much for your kindness and generosity to share your talent, techniques to persons who like painting like I. God bless you 🙏 and I wish you have a good health and get 1 million subscribers soon 👍🌹.
thank you so much for these videos! im so
inspired to try oil painting because of them!
Even with the daylight scene the added contrast really makes a difference.
Thanks. Lots of learning and very vital aspects that we miss out and struggle all the time.
Yes - a cityscape demo would be great; it would be great to see your process. Thanks in advance!
I love it simple great process
Great teacher
One of your best videos Chris, thank you
Great video. Thanks for the time and effort you put in each video. Very inspiring. I’m slowly catching up watching more of your videos. Blessings and take care.
Thanks coach, I really enjoyed this video. I also like the Thiebaud/Kondos halation effect on the gate pillars. Great job as usual.
your videos are honestly so helpful, thank you so much man
Thank you so much for this excellent video on light and dark ! Love the way you explain and show us the right way ! Enjoy your videos immensely ! Warmest regards Lorraine 🎨🤗
Thanks for posting this. It’s very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Chris that is a really nice painting, you the man.
Your videos are so helpful!
Thank you!
I love this - I've been working with painting light and now I can't wait to get back to the easel. Question: At what point in the process do you step away from the reference photo? This is something else I've been working on: using the photo as simply reference and not getting sucked into trying to copy it exactly. Thanks for another great video!
If you've copied the main idea you could replace the other details, like if it has no flowers just add one like that
Wow
really helpful 😄
Fantastic video.
So helpful 😊
Very helpful thank you 😊
Thank you for giving me idea to develop my painting! 😆🤗
That look satisfying
Cast shadow for the nearest column? Check your reference picture. Great tips!

Aww thakyou for this vedio lighting os my basic problem in painting ♥️♥️♥️
Excellent!👍, Thankyou, thank you for your advice on painting techinques, teachar
You’re the best
Very nice
The most challenging thing for me is the reflection of light and shadow on the surface of the water so that the water floor is visible.
Love your videos, thank you!
Great tutorial 👍 👍
Hi- this video has helped me in my painting, thank you. Out of curiosity do you do a rough sketch in pencil before you paint? What pencil do you use? And do you get all of your proportions lined up before painting or adjust as you go?
Can use this basics in acrylics too
I feel like I have a good understanding of values however, sometimes my paintings feel flat and there is no depth.. wether I blur it (like bokeh in a photo) or use cooler chromas towards the background.. I really enjoy doing figurative hyperrealisim/ dark surrealism / low brow type stuff. Can you do a video on achieving depth and realism?? (besides a pep talk about values lol)
Did you ever paint in gouache....?....could you do a video on it...as principles are same as oils
Good job bro!
Thanks!
Hi, thanks for another one!
Hm, can you give us some advices about taking good photos of the paintings?
Yes, do a night time one.
Great demo!
Do you find chroma plays a role as well? "Bright" colors might take away from the lit up focal area?
Have been enjoying your instruction. Since I only recently began painting and am using acrylics would your oils course be helpful or should I be looking for an acrylics instructor? Any recommendations? Thanks
I have a question: when I'm painting the light, should the rest of the paint be still wet? I find it hard to blend wet paint over dried paint.
I want you to tell about light reflections at night.
Você poderia fazer um vídeo de como criar o ambiente de escuridão, ou de noite! Azulado sabe? Obrigada, amo seus vídeos ♡
👍👍👍
Hey Chris. I was wondering if I could get the supply list for your course? That way I can calculate the cost if there are things that I don’t have and be ready to start once I sign up. Thanks.
I feel most difficult part in A night scene is the objects visible partially in the dark area....like the car or the receding wall near car....that's toughest for me...if it's a warm colour wall and in the dark...how do you cool it?
Love from India bro u mix colour while ur painting I use pallate knife and I can't do that
great tutorial!! very concise tips 👍👍thank you .. new subscriber here ( i work with watercolors and gouache, and find your tutorials really helpful! ) i follow you on IG ( i'm norakag, there👍) thanks again
Where do you get your brushes
💜😘😊
It's hard not to have a pattern with things. I tell myself make it random then I look at what I did and everything is pretty even spaced. I have to concentrate hard to make it random.
I know exactly what you mean! It's so weird as humans we have a natural sense to make things even. What is that?
@@paintcoach what is that^^ love your videos!! They are so helpful ♥️
So early that there’s 26 views and 91 likes... what???
i love u
First
