Chris you are a superb teacher. You can put yourself back to the beginning and remember everything and you know how to explain in simple terms. My mentor could only teach from where she was at that stage of her life. Where were you 60 years ago when I started studying seriously? Oh how lucky artists are with the internet these days? So much to learn and so little time in one's life. As my daughter says if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Painting is my best friend and has enriched my life and one of the best parts is I don't need someone else to do it so I'm never alone.
Thanks for this Chris. A great demo touching on great fundamentals and the process. So important whether you're developing a good wrist shot or a smoking guitar solo.
thats a beautiful painting love the loose brushstroke technique. I am very glad your channel is growing fast now. you have a great content and I am sure it is really helpful to all beginer but also for those on higher level of painting. thumbs up!!!
Appreciate you putting the ad at the end of the video. Watched it all the way through instead of skipping to get you dat TH-cam MONEY! Great video as always, your teaching skills improve with every single one!
Great video... So much info I've watched it 3 times this morning. I find your vids so easy to relate to. Thanks so much... I'm soaking up everything from you so generously shared.
This is a really great painting. Good reference. Also I really love that you keep the pallet on the screen because that's one of the most difficult things for me.
This is my kind of painting... I love the subject matter, but I struggle with big Mountain scenes like this. It helps to watch your process. I will have work hard to follow these tips the next time I go out to paint. I have slowly gotten better at simplifying, but still need to push myself even farther! Thank you for this valuable content Chris!
The pushing and pulling you need to do when painting is well illustrated (pardon the pun) in this extremely helpful video. Thanks for sharing your process and highlighting the focal point as a beginning scaffold to develop a painting.
I don't get this term. Pull, yes, I can see when I lay down paint in a stroke, I am pulling paint across the canvas via my brush. When am I pushing paint? Please explain.
@@tadjani5191 The lady in this video in the link explains it really well. I doesn't mean literally, or physical act of pushing and pulling paint with a brush. It is about the values and contrast and more. th-cam.com/video/sPH3Iz_q5oI/w-d-xo.html
You’ve explained your thought process well here. I think this can be very helpful to students trying to grasp how to go about working through the painting. Nice job 👍
Great tips for not just accuracy, but also how to do bigger pieces more easily and harmoniously. Particularly good tip on the "yellow drops out first, then red, then blue." I defaulted to a Naples yellow recedes so, wash out your green trees with that on your mountains. I wd hear of some who use burnt sienna as their "highlight colour" and now I know why! Cheers!
This was one of your better tutorails Chris, very well done! Thank you for sharing that. I am just learning about using only the water mixable primary oil colors paint. Just love them! 🌹
hey chris! i would love to paint and learn landscapes but i live in the city and i can't seem to fine references for my painting.. do you know where i can find reference photos?
I find it a bit more tricky to match colours to a screen (tablet) than to a printed picture, do you have tips on making that a bit easier? The picture being back-lit on the screen makes it hard to hold the colour(paint on brush) to the screen and try matching it
Hi Jake. I hope that you don't mind me piping up 8 months after your question lol. You really don't need to match the exact colors but you do need to keep the values the same. The value relationships to each other must be the same. No need to exactly match.
thankyouuuu omg ur the best painting teacher ever!
I’m so glad I found your channel
Compare, mix, compare, remix, get coffee, keep comparing ❤️❤️
Exactly! lol

Your tutorials are always easy to understand. It takes an expert to explain the method in a simplistic way.
This is EXACTLY the video I needed for my current painting
You are so good.....your painting is better than the photograph.
I loved how the painting turned out!

Awesome thank you!

Much better song. Thanks for changing that. :-)
I own that Kevin McPherson book. Another good one is “Capturing the Seasons” by Tim Deibler. His landscapes are outstanding.
Beautifully explained. Thank you.
Glad you liked it

Great to hear!
@@paintcoach I am the gal who loves your short haircut! 🌺
Well done explained.
Awesomeness.
Great video Chris! ✨ Is there any chance we’ll see a video of you explaining how to paint/simplify clouds? I keep struggling with that
Very informative Coach. From my perspective, one of your better ones.
Thanks a lot.
Dave M.( Australia )😎🇦🇺🦘

You should do a segment on figure painting…self study. ❤️🔥
How do we get the full video of this painting
oh wait - I thought we are supposed to paint light colors first then dark colors?
my wish is to paint like "Ivan Shishkin" how can paint like him?
How do I take a class tutorial with you in still life?
On the information of this video you can find a link to a course that he teaches online. Also look at his channel.
Is the still life on the right on Patreon?
No it’s going to be in my drawing course
You are so handsome🥰
I know. Truly very handsome. I had been wondering if I should make your same comment on all of his videos. Lol Very personable too
Why you use gloves for painting?
Sometimes he does not
The thumbs-down are due to dyslexia and some cases a severe case of dumb which is untreatable
Make a gym video u won’t
