Thanks for watching :)
Loved your responses to my last question about detail work so I though't I'd ask another.. What's your best advice or tip for painting foliage yourself? Would love to know!
Chuck Black Art I have a brush I trimmed uneven with a few long strands here and there. It was for fur, but I found it useful for grass too. I don't know much, so I just experiment alot.
I use a fan brush that is really worn out and also uneven. For the most part that works great for me !
Great video as always, i am also using a few brushes that i cut them myself and this way i will have for example 3 tips to do grass blades insted of one( it goes a bit faster😁) and also i use a very thin liner brush.
I tend to use really totaled-out brushes, for distant foliage, and small detail brushes for up close foliage. I have used, after painting grasses in, a tool to scratch out highlights. The highlights can be made quite thin, using that technique, and if taken all the way to the canvas, are quite bright.
Paintings by Justin me too, it's worn out but works great for me too✌️👍
watering and proper light and food will insure that your grass will grow and give you big buds
LOL
I'm so fucking stupid I was trying so hard to understand your comment
16-16-16 fertilizer during the spring rains in April or May...
Your so wrong for that. LMAO
😂
Chuck, you read my mind. After watching your time-lapse of this piece my first thought was, "I wish Chuck would do a tutorial on how he paints such detailed, realistic grass." Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and skill and enthusiasm with us. I think I speak for all in saying that we appreciate you.
Georgette Orwell absolutely ✌️😁
Hi Chuck
This great tutorial is 2 yrs old and I did not start painting on canvas until 20 months ago waiting for a hip op at 78. So, I have watched many grass videos and this is by far the best, therefore many thanks.
I have painted many landscapes with horses, dogs, cattle, sheep etc., mustering but my grass is RS!
I am now going over every painting after watching this video and making the grass bounce out of the scenes.
Many thanks once again.
Ross
Every blade of grass matters! Yes, Chuck. That is so in tune with my picky nature. I learn so much from you. Thank you!
Love all your paintings, would you kindly show how you paint lights and their beams like on your realistic farm painting with the deer and old trucks. Hope this question makes since. Always looking forward to your next video. Thanks for being so open with your technics
This makes me want to get into painting🙉
This makes me want to give up painting....just kidding 🤣. He's amazing though.
So glad to see someone who seriously paints grass that looks like grass. You cant get in a hurry.
Pure joy to watch and learn or even "refresh" at my age. All these things can be implemented in a variety of mediums. Thank you!
that is just so amazing! when i try to paint thin line, it's just looks to thick no matter what i do T_T
use less paint
I'm old my hands shake a little. I took a piece of wood put small blocks on each side to rase it off the canvas to rest my hand on .And I thin my paint.
Great video. Question. How are you keeping so much fluid paint on your small brush? thanks in advance for your reply.
Great demo, Chuck. It's nice to see that to get what you want requires patience and perseverance. I get frustrated at times because to do the job right requires a LOT of work. But the end result is worth it - just look at your work.
Congratulations on accomplishing a wonderful work of art, Chuck. I think this is one of your best paintings. It's certainly one of my favorites. Questions: Were the grasses painted with acrylics or oils (or maybe both)? I know a liner brush works great, but to me, it's not easy to get the paint to just the right consistency for thin blades of grass and other fine details. How do you do it?
Mineral spirits? You never got a reply to this, huh.
Perfect Chuck so realistic! I hope I can get these results. I love the sky as well in this painting. As always I love listening to you explain how to paint. Thank you
Would like to have seen the grass from the beginning
Mother of Pearl!!!! this is magnificent! It’s exactly what I am working on. But not this detailed. Thinking I might have to rethink this.
You are so generous to share your advice, time, and techniques with us. You are such a great realistic style artist. You also have a fun and interesting personality. I love ALL of your videos. Thank you so much.
Why did it take TH-cam so long to recommend this guy to me!!!?! Fantastic talent Chuck!
You have an amazing talent for realism! ❤️
You've done it again, Chuck, another incredible painting and demonstration for us fans who hang on your every brush stroke! Your tip about switching from acrylic to oil is fabulous! I just don't know how you possibly get that paint to stretch so far with that tiny liner brush. THANKS for sharing, just beautiful:)
I cannot paint as well as You however; I watch every show and learn to make my simple pictures better. Thank you.
You're my inspiration. I keep watching your videos and learn so much from you. My goal is to paint like you. Your work is magical. Thank you for this video on the grass.
Love the video, what colours did you use on the light part of the grass and in the dark part of the grass
No mms esto es pura magia. Mi pinche grass parece que es fingerpaint
Gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing! I've used a fan brush, but I like your technique much better!😎
❤جميل
G😊😄 d aftern😀😁 n, I thought U might be amused by my method of painting an entire scene, (on top the basic block-in) with a t😁😆 th brush. This particular scene lent itself well to that method; a buffalo standing amidst tall waving prairie grass. The t😃😀 th brush was quite scrubbed down, with bristles sticking out in all angles, so gave a random assortment of thin blades, & buffalo hair.
Love your videos!!! Thank you S0 much for sharing. Gloria
Love this video. So glad you think a your viewers are worthy of your time. You are wonderful my artist friend.
Beautiful. Amazing how such tiny strokes can bring it all together.
Wow wow wow!!! U know every piece of art that you do is unbelievably amazing and I can never choose a favorite but this one is possibly my favorite!! Its so beautiful and u are such an inspiration to me!! Thank you so much for sharing Chuck!!
The whole piece is stunning Chuck!!
Hi! It would be great if you could also mention, during the process, when you work in acrylics and at what point you switch to oils if you do at all. Or is it entirely done in one medium? Thank you.
Thank you for these videos. This one is exactly the help I need to finish a piece I am working on. Love the way you teach.
Every time I think it looks amazing, you added another layer of detailing and I'm wowed all over again! So beautiful!
👍👍
Thank you for this video! I always struggle with grass and waver between not enough detail and too much. But when it comes down to it, there really is no quick and easy way... it is just building up many layers.
Hi , Chuck, Make the Grass Look Stunning, wow i am always following your tips , and your attention , to detail is truly Amazing ; and Thank you for sharing Chuck ; i am your Fan Guy from Montréal Québec ;
hello chuck black thank you for video please video text türkish im türkish i dont know english
Just bought line brushes and I'm going to try your methods. Thanks.
Very useful, thank you. I’m struggling with grass in my paintings, so it was interesting to see how the experts do it!
I have a lot of experience with grass I find I often have to pause and open a window to let the room clear before I can continue. Just kidding you are a great resource and a must have channel for any artist
😂😂 thank you!
Beautiful painting. You left a link to what liner brush you used, it took me to the dick blocks website. But you didn't say what SIZE and brand of liner brush you used to paint the grass, plz let us know, thanks so much!
It would be nice if you Chuck would answer a few of the questions people have asked below as I have the same questions...maybe you do too many videos for personal responses... but hey great painting !!!
Forgive me for being frustrated but I did everything you did and my grass still looks stupid! It’s also very confusing when you keep miss using the word pixelated. Pixelate means to blurr or become blocky yet you use this word as you paint an individual blade of grass- I’m confused
add the colors used and set ip the video better. Just because you screwed up regarding how to begin your video, be professional and start over. Remember the hollywood way, "CUT"
I too paint by my heart and soul but somehow couldn't be able to get that many views and subs 😒 still trying
I did a painting for a customer from a photo they provided and in the centre, they have weeds sticking up out of the water. Then when I showed them a preliminary photo they asked if I could remove some of the weeds. Umm no, you can't just remove something like that. I repainted the entire area then they said "can you remove some from the sides now as well"?
That's when I put my foot down and said no, not unless you pay me $x00.00 to repaint the area for a THIRD time.
Wow that's the most beautiful grass I've ever seen 😍
absolutely need oils for this one, the paints drying out while doing some super mini details would make you insane
I love your videos! I just started painting and I've learned so much from watching you.
Love that! Thanks for being here, Jessi! Glad you have found some help in my content
I hope there's a translation in Arabic😍😍😍
Love the golden rod, you nailed it.
First time I have watched you and learned so much on how to paint grass. Will use the information today! Thanks!
Also, size brush for your detail grasses?
In the distance, you don’t really delineate right?
I like to put two colors on my brush to help make the grasses or leaves look realistic
.just be careful to avoid letting the two colors on your brush blend
.you want to let them move in and out naturally on your brush stroke
That's it my ..here's how it do it thought
Thank you, I much appreciate the tutorial!
Bro painted the deer in 4k resolution 😮
Amazing job
Niiice, Chuck man this was so helpful thanks man
AO
Love the work, , but personal Q. What are you listening to when painting?
Amazing art work . Thank you for the tips on techniques
What mixes of greens are you using? This would be helpful
How do you take the paint to last so much on the brush I have to constantly load the brush. Do you apply some medium?
Beautiful work Chuck. Where do you get your ideas from?
It is very helful for me.i have learnt alot of things but i dont have good quality of brushes
Loved it ❤️ thank you sir, you are my inspiration
You are insanely amazing!
How do you get so many strokes out of your brush. I get one or two strokes per dip. You get 40 or 50!
Sweet Jesus
Is this even real?
Why is the grass growing in the same direction, leaning to the right? Is there a wind, or?
This is just what I needed. Thank you Chuck!
I really enjoy your lessons, Thank you so much!
Your channel has been a huge help to me because I want to learn more about painting and get better at doing it. Thank you!
But how can you create such fine lines with paint?
The best grass class ever. What brush are you using?
Did you use all acrylic in this painting?
Nope. Too idealic, looks like a disney scene instead of authentic and moving like any Turner, Constible, Seargent, or Whistler paintings. Too sappy and sugar coated.
My own story is what's important to me. I couldn't care what you think
Attention Mr Chuck Black,
Consistency??? I was reading your comments and "Fred" says: I know a liner brush works great, but to me, it's not easy to get the paint to just the right consistency for thin blades of grass and other fine details. How do you do it? That's a very good question.

Awesome watching you do the grasses!
Your a lovely lad , and I've enjoyed you channel for a long while now. Always a pleasure to watch your videos 👏👍🇬🇧🎨
Amazing! I could look at the grass all day! :-)
Thanks a whole, whole lot for this video. This is going to make me a real long ways. I've been an artist in CGI for a number of years now, but painting.. It's something else. You don't get an undo button and things I feel the "master" off laugh and kick me in the shins. Grass is one of those things in physical media.
3 seconds in and it already looks like grads
Gonna try that with my Polychromos
I wish you would say what colors you use
Very helpful - thank you.
chuck, your're the BOMB buddy! First minute of video, could you explain the "setup"? Like when determining where the grass will be; using different brushes. You see to us(me?ha) that is a technique also that I'd love to learn from you. Also the use of oil over acrylic on your paintings ( a no-no as you know in many communities right) well I'm trying out oils and Golden's OPEN acrylics that act like oils. Your thoughts. Love your style and teaching abilities!
Thanks for putting it all out there, it's really appreciated. Really great stuff!
Cheers dude. This was helpful.
Yes! I subscribed and want to see many more tutorials. You are the only person youtube I have subbed, that`s how much I love your style and painting. My whole family paints but I am a beginner lol All your paintings are of things I love and painting them is going to be exciting. I also love Peregrin Falcons and have painted them in the past. I would love to see you paint a few types of predators and also a buffalo, even a white one..wow. White animals are difficult so it would make a great tutorial. Thanks so so much for sharing your gifts!
Great tutorial. Thank you.
Beautiful painting Chuck
that's a lot of layer
That's beautiful! Thanks for the tips! I just did a field and grass is missing..I will be certainly touching up! Thank U!
stunning! thnx for sharing again and the good advises, i also love your hounesty in your vids, keep up the good works 🍀
Thank you so much!!
This is a very good video for me. It's what I'm struggling with. I painted a horse real good and the one thing that I'm having trouble with is the grass. I may have gone too bight on the green. But I sure am going to watch this again and even again if I have to. I painted this one for my very good friend who worked with horses that he loved. The hardest part is that he's a very good painter, himself. So, that makes me feel intimidated. LOL I"ll keep on trying; I can't give up. Thank you so much for this Chuck Black. I love the deer here. It's another great painting of yours. Love it.
2023, Feb...thank you. This is stunning and so inspiring. I love your instructions and style.
Many thanks for the video Chuck. Could you possibly explain why you switched to using oil for the bar wire? Thank you so much for your time 👍🏻
Thanks. Such patience.
Hi Chuck, my light coloured strokes over darker areas always disappear when dry, yet I can see all of yours. How can I stop this happening please?
Do you have any tips on painting Tin barns? Would you recommend starting with acrylic and going over with oils? Thanks!
Thank you fabulous tips given about detail in grass making with paint. Can not wait to get started!!!!:)
