Thank you, Emily, for sharing your painting approach. You really made me aware of many basics that I didn’t know. Mark teaches so many valuable things from his confidence, experienced viewpoint, and you taught many different ideas from your less experienced viewpoint. What I appreciate most of all is that you two are sharing both viewpoints, allowing us to absorb what we need based on where we are. I’m very new to oil painting, and want to achieve realistic portraits, but I’m sure I’ll try several still life paintings first (‘cause the figs won’t be hurt if I don’t represent them perfectly!). Thank you both for helping all of us struggling to gain new skills!
Really enjoyed it. Your commentary was also very refreshing to hear. Your approach was really good, about you not being confident, and how you are trying to follow rules, and sometimes trying to break them, then trying to fix something. finally getting an awesome painting! It was like watching a race between how you were feeling inside, and how you were struggling outside, and just hoping you will make it, and then you do it!. It was very honest and Very very encouraging to all of us amateur artists. Mark is a great painter and a teacher. His techniques are unique.
Oh, Emily, what an inspiration you are for me! Watching Mark paint; he has so much experience and hardly ever has to wonder what to do next or how to make a correction. Watching you focus and explain what you are feeling as you create problems that you have to fix and then you letting perfectionism go so you can continue having fun is a great reminder for me. Enjoy the process!! Let me know if you made more of these. I'd love to see them!
How refreshing to see and hear from another student and to see her going through some of the same challenges as I am going through. Emily, your painting is wonderful.
This video is so helpful. It's easy to get overwhelmed by mistakes, but Emily just cheerfully accepts them and continues, and still ends up with a great result. I feel like this is what I need to learn most of all.
I just keep picturing Mark standing over your shoulder and grunting/scoffing with every brush stroke you make. Haha!! 😁 Great video as usual! Thanks for all you two do to help instruct others.
@@macclift9956 I don't think so, she is a busy woman, a registered nurse and mother of 4 or 5 kids, long time ago she had a webpage with lots of family pictures and pictures of her paintings, I don't remember the site, perhaps blogspot or something similar.
Great work Emily. Keep painting and sharing more. Always inspiring to see that process of learning and leaping ones way through and realizing that all artists have somewhat similar 'struggles' and victories. Great values and brush work! Overall a lovely painting. And Mark, that horse is just gorgeous! Wow.
I absolutely loved watching this... Her painting turned out so lovely! Very very interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also learned so much just from watching and listening to her paint. The same things that Emily was saying that she obsesses over are very much the same for me and I loved seeing her just 'go for it' without stressing over the details. It was really refreshing for me - and I loved the result!
I am not a professional painter, but I have been painting for years. There was a time when I could not practice my passion because I was raising a child on my own and going to school. A lot of different things were going on in my life. Now that I am older I feel this is my time before I die to pursue my dream, even if I don't make it to the top. But my passion is fulfilled in a wonderful way. I have painted from photograph as well as have drawn in different medias from life. Now, the oils and other medium I have painted from photographs. I am learning a lot from you guys. I am a self taught painter, have read many books and also watch practically every artist I can on You Tube. One can learn a lot from others. Mark is a great artist and fantastic teacher. I have painted wet on wet without even realizing it was alla-prima. Also impasto. By watching others I have learnt that I instinctively use these techniques on my own. I struggled, but I have done it and many people have told me that my paintings are awesome. I still don't feel confident. But I cannot pay an expensive school. Therefore, I will keep on watching other professionals and keep on practicing too until I leave this world. I have seen great masters work in museums and the Internet, I try to figure out what it is that some of these old master had to become so famous when I do not really think that their art were so great. My favorite is Rembrandt, Leonardo Da Vinci, Goya, Velazquez, and some others, but not all of them. I would like to try the impressionistic painting and emotion, because I am concern about the world problems. This is what I would love to do. Being able to paint like Rockwell, who painted everyday people and their lives. I also love Vincent Van Gogh, I think he was a great visionary, and he expressed his feeling in all his paintings. Most people, even today do not appreciate a great painter. I feel that to be a great painter one needs to see the world in all its beauty as well as in all the sufferings, and be able to paint these interpretations of life. Thank you for your teachings, I think that if you paint feelings with your knowledge Mark, you would be like the great Rembrandt and Vincent Van Gogh. Thank you
I love that you allowed yourself to be vulnerable enough to share your process with us. Thank you so much. I’m just starting and haven’t put paint to paper yet. 🙂
Really enjoyed the video Emily. It was refreshing to hear that you cant stay at the canvas for too long and that you have a break, coming back to it with fresh eyes. Ive been giving myself a hard time for drifting away and coming back to the painting. You have helped me understand my reasons for doing so. Its nice to see that-dont worry or obsess too much relaxed approach.I also watched and enjoyed your cup of coffee painting the other day.
Mark - Emily - enjoyed this video immensely - well done - I am a few weeks shy of 85 and probably have done about three dozen paintings overall - mostly acrylics - no training, just trial and error - thanks again for a truly enjoyable presentation - well done Emily
Liked the painting! I would be proud to hang that on my wall. Amazing colors. The onion looked so nice. An onion! Made me want to cry. Pun totally intended. You are blessed with talent.
I appreciate your ability to curate such a professional channel. Good call having a student/wife share her insights to your teachings. Btw, beautiful horse painting.
I love that you both paint! My wife and I also paint together and we have so much fun! my style is more like a kevin hill type style and hers is her own unique thing. her oil paintings look almost like chalk. Very soft but they have this depth that's incredible!
I love it that Mark says you must do this and that -small steps, brushes for every shade etc. and at 73 i don't think I have enough time on this planet to perfect this technique. But there you are, bigger steps, two brushes and wonderful paintings. You're my kind of woman. I think I will have a go at this your way. Thank you.
Emily- love your illustration, it’s a confidence booster to see how you paint- Mark makes it look too easy for novice like me- for you, I can see myself painting like you, not very sure, self doubt, and eventually come up with something beautiful - great painting!!! More illustration in the future please!!!
Painting on the right side of the brain was an inspiration to in understanding the painting of the abstraction and improved my ability to see as an artist. That and the advice I learned here have revolutionized my approach and helped to increase my skill level way beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you so much for sharing.
One of the best videos you've posted. What a delightful person (at least that's how she sounds on the video. Maybe she beats the kids every night.) The stream of consciousness about her process etc. is very entertaining. You should think about taking the show on the road. I'd pay. Thanks for the art. Oh, and I gotta say that I've spent a lot of time in hospital in the last few years (not to my liking) and if it wasn't for the nurses and the important work they (you) do the doctors would run amok. Kudos to you all.
This one is especially good for me when combating my own "curse ". Listening to Emily and Mark speak about the process has its own power. I oftentimes play their videos at bedtime and just listen.
Just found your video today and love it! Also, nice to hear you are/were a nurse, as was I, long time retired 😂. I am so excited to get back to painting because of binging on this website. My figs rotted last fall before I got a chance to paint them! Love looking at your palette. Inspired!
What a great idea, this is very good tutorial for me. I am always worried about getting things right. This teaches me things about myself that I can move the boundaries and not be too much of a perfectionist. Also not to be too self critical. Great video.
Definitely a nice painting. I need to try not blending so much too. The results on especially the onion look excellent. I'm almost afraid to mix all those in between steps though, as I feel I'm wasting paint. Mixing every color accurately as a result takes so much more time haha. Oh well, I'll get there eventually.. :) edit: Oh one more thing, the optical illusion of the dark lower part of the onion is really extraordinary. I constantly thought it would be too dark indeed.
Hi, Just started watching your videos this week. I did not watch them in order. I plan on going in and seeing your order. Thank you. I enjoy seeing your process and finished products!
I love your wife she is so funny very funny commentary she sounds like me when I'm painting except I'm like cursing my painting out lol 😂 she definitely balances you out. I hope she does more videos! Even though I paint in acrylic's I still love listening to you because you are well-versed in color theory and you have a Lotta good techniques to share so thank you so much.😀🌺🌺
Thanks Emily , it's beautiful and your colors are sweet. You are exactly like me for not going on with two dimension and perspective stuff, like a puzzle to me. i love your paint , thanks.
Very nice Emily. I really enjoyed your commentary as you were working. The correcting of shapes or maybe "breaking" a rule or two is something most if not everyone will do at some point.
Also, for something like a plate, or any problem area, I find that a mirror is a great help. Seeing any kind of painting or drawing in reverse seems to really draw your eyes to a lot of the areas that need tweaking.
Jeez, once you get the 20 or so little piles of paint mixed and ready to go it is like the 'paint by numbers' paintings my grandmother used to do, except a lot better of course. Same idea but you have to figure out what numbers go where.
Great job!!! Im really excited to hear your thoughts as you go. for instance how you get sick of looking at the painting after a while. Thats so interesting. I was wondering if you guys had a link on how to use this color checker you keep referencing? I haven't heard of this yet. Very new to painting.
You have a great way of putting down the abstract shapes of each color. I was amazed. Thanks for sharing this video. Just wondering why you use the Geneva paints exclusively?
"When I paint I feel like all I am doing is painting problems that I have to go back and fix". I loved it
this definitely makes me feel like i could paint like her. She's not worried about perfection, its very inspiring

You paint better than a lot of professionals and your honest dialog is very refreshing compared to other art demos online. Thanks, Murray
Couldn't agree more!

This is officially my favorite painting tutorial on youtube. ♥

Let me know if you made more of these. I'd love to see them!
Hearing the artist's thoughts as she's painting has been invaluable. Thank you so much for sharing.
How refreshing to see and hear from another student and to see her going through some of the same challenges as I am going through. Emily, your painting is wonderful.
That's so cool you two share a passion and ability for oil painting.
I don't know what to say about the ,,ability for oil painting'' part :D
I loved this! She sounded a little hesitant and nervous at first. I loved listening and watching her paint. I learned a lot.
This video is so helpful. It's easy to get overwhelmed by mistakes, but Emily just cheerfully accepts them and continues, and still ends up with a great result. I feel like this is what I need to learn most of all.

Actually it is the opposite, Emily said that she doesn't get much help from Mark.
I think he just writes her script.
@@redangrybird7564 Does Emily perhaps have her own channel?

Refreshing...sincere and most of all authentic.

Nicely done Emily. It's good to see Mark's method in someone else's hands. Your fig tones and colours are excellent.
that horse painting is stunning! i also loved watching this painting video, nice to see a student's perspective.
actually it's his wife, but he did teach her to paint.
+Bobby Brown I know, but still a student. His wife is also a totally awesome lady.

Very nice! She is so genuine and helping me know it’s ok to not be PERFECT and can still produce a great painting! Thank you!
I can see you are learning a lot from Mark, watching you paint I feel like watching one of Mark videos. You both are amazing!!!!!
"All I do is paint problems...'
I feels you on that 💯
Liked the painting! I would be proud to hang that on my wall. Amazing colors. The onion looked so nice. An onion! Made me want to cry. Pun totally intended. You are blessed with talent.

Your commentary is endearing, and delightful. To see how you work through various issues is so relatable. The painting is beautiful!

You paint with your wife, I'll manifest one painting her. It's all perspective.
Thanks Emily, really loved to see someone else painting using Mark's method. I enjoyed your discussion about the challenges. Looks great.
I love it that Mark says you must do this and that -small steps, brushes for every shade etc. and at 73 i don't think I have enough time on this planet to perfect this technique.

Nice painting Emily!

Very fun commentary, and a very nice painting.
Enjoyed it, and reminded me of the same travails I go through when painting.
Thank you Emily. Enjoyed watching your video a lot. I relate to your mess up and fix up method.
I like hearing her thought process!
Talk about a person seeing the beauty in the little things. This is the artist.
Love this. Very helpful. Thank you Emily.
Thanks Emily, I really enjoyed ur painting and especially ur commentary.
What a great idea, this is very good tutorial for me. I am always worried about getting things right. This teaches me things about myself that I can move the boundaries and not be too much of a perfectionist. Also not to be too self critical. Great video.
oh my god i love the onion its my favorite part, that yellow highlight is just so pretty
Definitely a nice painting. I need to try not blending so much too. The results on especially the onion look excellent.

Love this style of painting
I loved your painting and what you said as well!!
Very well done. Emily, you're a natural, I enjoyed the demo very much.
Bravo on the horse, @Mark Carder @DrawMixPaint. I bet the client was thrilled.😁🐎
It's gorgeous Emily... well done!
Love these videos, please add more. This definitely helps!
She is lovely. ❤
And you sexy??
Thanks again for the great video. It was nice to how your wife approached and used your paints
The commentary on this is making me laugh so much. "The onion is totally wrong, and I just don't care".
I enjoyed this
This really helped me realize that I'm doing "ok". Thanks, Emily.
I love your wife she is so funny very funny commentary she sounds like me when I'm painting except I'm like cursing my painting out lol 😂 she definitely balances you out. I hope she does more videos!

Love your art...your yakking...and the fact you are from Mississippi...look forward to more videos...
excellent! thank you for another great tutorial... inspirational!
This was very helpful to me as an amateur painter. Thanks! I'd love to see your portraits.
Such a great video. Thanks so much for doing this.
I love you Emily thank you for being so real... I learn from you, not to be so hard on myself
Great colors! I enjoy watching your channel.
wonderful. i really enjoyed watching this one. lovely to meet Emily. Hope we can see more soon. cheers and hi from rainy England. glenn
You did a good job, Emily! 👏🏻
Felicidades me encantó ver el proceso. Mil gracias a la Pintora Emily!! ;)
She’s great talks like most of painters. She does have great teacher.
Thank you for letting use watch you paint! This was helpful and encouraging. i'd be glad to see another, if you'd like to share.
Thank you so much Emily!
Love those candid comments...that’s how we feel sometimes...helps with our frustrations...TAB
Very helpful video, thanks Emily!
Well it's easy to get an "A" when you're married to the teacher! Really enjoyed this and love the commentary.
What a lovely video!
Thanks Emily , it's beautiful and your colors are sweet. You are exactly like me for not going on with two dimension and perspective stuff, like a puzzle to me. i love your paint , thanks.
It's really good Mark has some competition. The tablecloth really great in thr foreground
Very nice Emily. I really enjoyed your commentary as you were working. The correcting of shapes or maybe "breaking" a rule or two is something most if not everyone will do at some point.
This was great to watch. I am a blender so i liked your process. What is a color checker??
Wonderful painting, Emily! :D
Also, for something like a plate, or any problem area, I find that a mirror is a great help. Seeing any kind of painting or drawing in reverse seems to really draw your eyes to a lot of the areas that need tweaking.
Jeez, once you get the 20 or so little piles of paint mixed and ready to go it is like the 'paint by numbers' paintings my grandmother used to do, except a lot better of course. Same idea but you have to figure out what numbers go where.
You sound just like me. This is what I go though too! Loved watching this. And it's very good. You give me hope.
love this channel. you guys are a well oiled machine.
I am proud of Mark and Emily.
Great job!!! Im really excited to hear your thoughts as you go. for instance how you get sick of looking at the painting after a while. Thats so interesting. I was wondering if you guys had a link on how to use this color checker you keep referencing? I haven't heard of this yet. Very new to painting.
Love it, great work. I recently purchased your paints and some other products. Reoranging my studio to more match what you guys have:-)
I thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to you paint. I definitely could identify with you.
You have a great way of putting down the abstract shapes of each color. I was amazed. Thanks for sharing this video. Just wondering why you use the Geneva paints exclusively?
Love your point of vieuw about painting Emily! Do you make tutorials too?🎉
Great demo, really enjoyed the commentary.
