I knew I was burnt out after nine years of practice. Reached a point where I don't even look at other people's paintings, much less practice, or watch videos such as this. But I am glad I clicked on this. I feel like this is new life breathed into me and I am actually looking forward to sitting down at the easel, realizing how far I came thus far, and just having some fun. I'm realizing that my goals were/are kind of off, and I'm considering an entirely new approach. Thank you!
dude, as a homeschooled kid, I do feel blessed to have had so much time to practice, gonna be different this year cuz collegeeee. But even so we all learn at different speeds, so I feel like all that work made me only even with everyone else who has seemingly less time, but I'm pleased because I have gotten better and will get better if I keep it up.
Yes, it is helpful. I haven't painted a single portrait or anything else that one would create with oil paint. I have a drawing of a dear friend I am working on, and my goal is to paint her portrait. I have other ideas for portraits as well. I am excited to get started, but I am missing an easel. I can't afford to purchase one, so I am going to build one with cardboard and hot glue. I love the lavender/blue highlights you used in her hair. It's a gorgeous painting! Thank you very much! Lisa
I enjoy your using that easel..The best thing you've ever said on suggestions is painting something everyday..even ...and what you're saying now..Hundreds of works are done before one jumps out as the fruit of all the efforts..Thank you Chelsea, for your common sense and desire to speak to the various folks out here...Even this old Marine..
Thank you for your video. It's so inspirational! I've been working on becoming a better painter for a while now and finally got the guts to show my local Gallery my work. I entered three pieces to an Autumn Art Festival. Just received an email stating that I won third place and judge's Choice Awards. It doesn't mean I'm selling anything or that what I thought was bad it's good but a little recognition can boost your ego a lot
What I took from this is why I love working with wood for 29years started painting again a couple years ago, painting with wood, marquetry is still going to be my passion, I love your work but not so into the shrink part, definitely something for everyone!
I see this was posted a year ago, but I want you to know that this has given me a new sense of direction in my painting journey, where I didn't really have one up to this point. Great post!
Your insights on skill and how to get better at things are always a good listen. And the paintings are always so damn cool to see come together. Lovely work!
Very nice painting...beautiful 👌...so you are a easily finished your portrait paintings...also you can use to good master colors stroke!..&...bresh handling style is good & very nice!..GOD Bless you...
Chelsea, I just want to thank you for such a sincere and wonderful video. It was exactly what I needed. Your advice is honest and well understood. *Big hug
I love your style you are a tremendous artist I wonder if you have ever considered placing your subject where we can see it as you paint? Would love to see that. Thanks.
As to being in the moment - my favorite part of painting is loosing the sense of time and being with the paint. It’s like I do something to the paint and then react to what the paint does. It’s like dancing together.
I know I would like you if I ever met you. I have gray hair too, but I'm 65. I love your hair and especially your painting. I hope you have a good sence of humor.
I love to paint horses. My style has been realistic but really like the loose style better. I find myself going back and forth between them. Love your style of color and loose edges. Need to get myself back to doing my art but I am stuck.
Jess Karp experiments and is pretty free with what she does and she does amazing stuff alllll the time and she has shown some of her childhood art, so it took a long time for her to get there. But you can be a wizard between mediums and styles if you want to.
Hi Chelsea, Thank you for sharing all of this content with us. I like very much your paintings, they are very professional. I am wondering, why are you teaching? Your paintings are so good! Can’t you Make a living just out of selling them? Thank you!
I’d love to paint but really don’t know where to start. One thing I’ve always noticed when artists show their progress is the chop and change of colour. I get that you’re putting down layers and need to build up but why go from one dark colour, to light and then back to dark in one layer. Seems like a waste of paint? Ps amazing painting!
I know it’s really hard when you are starting from nowhere. You need to find out where you are in your art journey and figure out your why . Why you want to paint ? What is it you want to achieve? Once you know what you want and why? You will be prepared to put on those hours of practice. When they go from dark to light and then go dark again is to balance the value scale in the paintings. This is possible in oils and acrylic painting but in watercolour we leave blank of paper to show the light.
I'm that first example. Graphic artist by trade... marketing professional as a day job... farm owner... grandfather... adult kid caretaker at times... possibly ADHD... life gets in the way. I love to draw and paint. I jump from one thing to the next frequently. Good at things but not perfect at any. I'm not bad at oil painting but I'm not consistent and I'm nowhere close to where I want to be. Money isn't my goal as much as satisfaction in a body of works. I want to leave a legacy of quality work. If my kids make money off of it... good for them. For me, I just want to be happy with accomplishment. I am productive but lack focus. In a sense... a mess.
This is painting from the point of view of a culture where excellence is defined by sport and business, not art. It may be valid nevertheless, especially if you are selling classes to make a living. But it isn't the only point of view - it is very much of a certain time and, especially, place.

Hey Grayson, how are you doing now? I hope you find that inner peace for painting
Likewise

Having a great time while you work, while still looking forward to all the challenges is what most people really should work towards. Great piece.
So beautiful! Both words and painting!
I always learn something new from you, Chelsea. Thank you ….for that…and thank you for sharing your beautiful paintings.

This is exactly what i needed to hear today, thank you!
You have definitely mastered portraiture, your style is amazing. To me it is the biggest painting challenge for an artist .
I enjoy your using that easel..The best thing you've ever said on suggestions is painting something everyday..even ...and what you're saying now..Hundreds of works are done before one jumps out as the fruit of all the efforts..Thank you Chelsea, for your common sense and desire to speak to the various folks out here...Even this old Marine..

Congratulations, that's awesome!
great video, incredible how you get into all the layers of an artists struggles, and paint that well at the same time! WOW!

Your work is beautiful, and your advice is excellent!
Thank you, that was so awesome 👏
Beautiful!! Loved the process and the outcome, realizing that as you said, focusing on the outcome is not the point, but I love this painting!
As to being in the moment - my favorite part of painting is loosing the sense of time and being with the paint. It’s like I do something to the paint and then react to what the paint does. It’s like dancing together.
You are amazing in your confidence in your brushes in mixing colors. I hope you will continue in this professional artistic style👍
I know I would like you if I ever met you. I have gray hair too, but I'm 65. I love your hair and especially your painting. I hope you have a good sence of humor.
❤Artistic strokes.👍👍
Like your videos. Love the out takes as well. Thank you.

Good artist.

Look up the paint coach on youtube, he can help you get started.
I know it’s really hard when you are starting from nowhere. You need to find out where you are in your art journey and figure out your why . Why you want to paint ? What is it you want to achieve?

Is this a re-upload?? I feel like I watched this video already. In fact, the script is the same... Did you need to make changes to it?
Your just bad ass. Keep it up!

Thank u
You mentioned making a portfolio at the start. Can you say what you were making the portfolio for?
Блин это очень крутое видео спасибо очень вдохновляющее!!
This is painting from the point of view of a culture where excellence is defined by sport and business, not art. It may be valid nevertheless, especially if you are selling classes to make a living. But it isn't the only point of view - it is very much of a certain time and, especially, place.
mazin!
Bagus aku suka
