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.

I discovered your channel a couple of days ago and have watched more than I care to admit. :) I appreciate your no-nonsense approach. No pretense. You exude your joy and passion for painting in a way that makes it seem accessible to all. I'll be a new $5 patron soon. Keep up the awesome!
this was a good subject. totally enjoyed the drawing and painting.
I've watched a bunch of your videos over the years and I just wanted to tell you that they are super helpful and I really enjoy them. You are very well-spoken and I really appreciate your insights and all the effort you've put into making your videos. Thank you so much. Cheers! 😊
Sir, you are a great painter. You remind me of a great English painter, Terence Cuneo, he specialised in steam trains. Like you he made complicated subjects look like fun. At one time he’d painted the Queen more times than anyone, mainly for the dining rooms for a host of regiments of the armed forces. Don Gilburn, retired graphic designer. Now an enthusiast painter
Love it, the paint looks way more beautiful than the photo 👏
I really enjoy this video excellent painting. Every time I need to learn something I just look for videos.
Love that painting and love the comment 'sneak up on it' so so true and that took me ages to grasp as I always went straight to 'it has to look finished from brush stroke one' :) Thanks for sharing
Really loved watching you paint and how you skip from one area to another. Thanks too for showing a close-up at the end showing us the details of the boats behind.
Your drawing ability is amazing....
Amazing! So much talent and thank you for sharing your knowledge. I just discovered my aptitude for painting and I am loving it. Your videos are so inspiring and encouraging to paint! I am forever grateful.
Really enjoying your tutorials. Lincolnshire, England
I've been watching your videos for a while, and now going back to catch up. I found your pear and value painting interesting, .. I'm a watercolor artist for the last 30 or so years.. However, as a young girl I started in oils, and now I'm looking to get back into it. Not that I could ever give up my watercolor. Your videos are helping me relearn oils.
Thanks so much .. Barbra Joan, Tallahassee, Fl
Wonderful!
I love watching your approach to painting. Thanks for your tutorials and I will stay tuned for more! 💕
I wish I had your talent.
Thank you so very much for your tutorials🥰 I am new to oils and you help so much! Thank you Chris🤗
Very useful 👍
Splendid, your videos are so relaxing and informative, i used to just jump straight into painting and have problems but now working on the base layer has really improved my paintings 👍😁
Wonderful !
First off, thank you for all of your valuable and generous insights. Love your channel. I was curious if you could explain your studio lighting set-up? Usually I paint by window light (a large window) but would love to have the option of painting in the evening. Do you have any recommendations on studio lighting? Beyond daylight colour temperature, overhead positioning , diffused light to combat glare, what do you like to use? Thank you in advance :)
Excellent
Thank you so much 😊
Great videos!! Need help with inspiration!!
you good! i like your channel its helpful to me
Cat 5959 thanks!
This was exactly what I needed. Thank you
I really enjoy your videos which help me a lot to understand the base of oil painting. I have tried to learn by myself and want to try this painting following your guidance. Could you please let me know how to find the original photo? Many thanks!:)
Beautiful painting as always. Just one thing though, the walkway on the left doesn’t look quite right, it looks a little vertical.
Very nice. I should have started painting much younger...
Indiana Hoosier never too late to start!
this time i could draw better. darkening is easy, finding the right value for sky and the sea was more practice by matching with the reference, painting the boat and the reflection on the water was challenge to mix the color that matches with the reference, painting the sky which is lighter than the water, the clouds, painting the house with its value
Hi Chris, love this painting. Could you confirm you used just the primary colours and white for it, or were there maybe other ingredients (eg the Burnt Sienna for initial block-in) ?
I really enjoy watching you paint and seeing your progression. Love this painting! I find it difficult to have good control of my strokes when I hold the brush back so far. Any tips, or is it just a matter of practice?
I like to take seven or eight short deep breaths, followed by a loud, sustained exhalation through my teeth - and I also compress my abdominals very tightly. The Weaver stance is best. Hope this helps.
Very helpful, even though I paint acrylics.
How do you like Sarasota? They have (had?) the most art festivals there in Fla.. Have you ever done any? Oh, by the way, what colors are you using on this?
Sarasota is great! I haven't been to any art festivals yet because of the pandemic
what colors did you use ?
Nice work bruh 😍
I’m so jealous
i have a problem of painting sun in the sky. what is the value and color of the sun? what color is the rays of the sun in the sky? yellow?
Is there a way to pay yearly for patreon instead of monthly? Other persons have this option.
I couldn't find the full time vid on your patron?
Do you critique work if we send pic?
What lighting do you use sir?
I try to use as much natural window light as possible but I also have on of those over head lamps on a bendable arm right over my easel and a ring light that I bounce off the walls to be softer. The key is to try and have as much even natural soft light as possible. It might take some adjusting to get it right without glare and such but do what you can. Everyones studio set up is different
