This is what I have been looking for. As a newbie to painting, I was adding black to darken things...and it was just not working. I did not know why until I saw this video. I need more bare bones basics like this. Thanks for the vids!
Fully agree! I wish they taught this in high school, I would have been a much better artist by now. This is essential Honestly most of paint coach videos are like this. Amazing information that no one ever talks about but that’s honestly so simple! Paint coach id like to thank you for being such a great teacher:)
This is SO HELPFUL!!!!! I’m planning on binging every video I can from you for the basics!!!! I used to really be into art but I always thought I never needed the basics and after only watching 3 of your videos so far I’ve learned more than I’ve ever learned before! Plus you’ve made me feel a lot less scared to oil paint. I’ve tried watercolor, and acrylic and they always felt stressful and overwhelmed me. So far with just my first day of grabbing the basic supplies I can already say with confidence that I like it soooo much better. Oil paint is just so satisfying to just work with on its own. You changed my whole mindset with just a simple sentence! “Don’t fall in love with the end product, fall in love with the process” So thank you so much! :) The only thing I can suggest is maybe making a playlist for the very basics just so it’s a bit easier to maneuver to your playlist and have everything in one place! :)
@PaintCoach this helps me a lot with managing my pallet. i used to end up with huge piles of paint and 'lose' my original color, and taint the other colors and have to stop and clean the pallet, waste paint, and work my way back. No longer thanks to you. Great stuff!!!
Just implemented this in my paintings and they all became better. This is fundamental and I didn’t see such a clear explanation like this on another channel. Thank you once again Chris.
Good video I can't stress enough how much it helped me to learn that you can make shadows with the complimentary color while painting or even drawing with pastel etc.
I am self tought artist hence faced much hardship to obtain particular colour tone.This video is very useful for making any tone without hard labour. Thanks so much.
This was SO helpful. I've been trying to find the right video on painting red highlights cause I'm working on a painting and just added white to red, so my highlights ended up looking too pink :(
Can somebody explain when he says push-pull lights and darks? Does he literally mean the strokes for each are intentionally different or is it just some kind of expression (if it is please explain that too😅). Thanks in advance -newbie

Brilliant explanations of mixing.
Indeed! This was absolutely brilliant

Really helping me understand my painting process, thank you so much for going through the trouble of making these!
12 minutes of superb enlightenment - thanks so much!.
I find your videos soothing, supportive and helpful. ...You also make most things look suuuuper easy!

Great advice complimentary colours for shadows. Super helpful 👍
Very helpful demo! Thanks Chris. 👍🏼
This is EXACTLY what I need! thank you

Great lesson. I struggle with the yellow the most
That was great
Super helpful, thankyou 🙏🏻😀
Thank you, Coach!
Thank you so much
so helpful!
Thanks. this is cool
Thank you it was a very helpful lesson. I do have a question about the yellow you use, why do you use lemon yellow and not cadium yellow?
Thanks :)

Is there anything to put after finishing a work
is it bad that im immensely proud of myself for never having used black to shade EVER, even when i was a complete newbie?
❤️❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️❤️
Does this work for acrylics? Thks
I think the shadow area on the yellow disc should lean towards blue, this brownish shadow looks a bit muddy.
How do you know what shadow you use for skin tone and highlights ? And do you guess a color
It's Gooood tutorial. Thank you!! I will sub..
That's so weird, my name is so close to your insta username. Nice video btw.
Is Your name forza42 or something

Great video but the horrible music ruins it. 🙁
Seems a little dramatic that music so quiet I didn’t notice it “ruined” the video.
