Chuck Black Art The ‘dagger brush ‘ game changing !! 🙌🏼🎨🖌
Chuck Black Art what you just showed me was a game changer. Thanks loads!
A "tree skeleton"! This term put tree painting into a pneumonic image for me, which really helps. Thanks, Chuck! And that sunset.....
PS- I really appreciate the summary tips at the end. Awesome!
Does that also work with acrylics?
I came for the fine line tutorial part (which is excellent) but was captivated by that glorious, fiery sky! Thank you for the detailed, written description of the process, as well.
Thank you so much Chuck. You don't understand how important your videos are to me. God bless you.
🙌🙌🙌💙💙
You paint the scene of the sun shining with the dark green pine trees very delicate art and high technique. Thank you very respectfully.
Love your work! Bare trees are HARD! You make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing.
Literately the best wildlife and landacape art channel... chuck is the plug
Thank you so much for the tutorial on your fabulous trees. I’m so glad you shared that with us; it is very helpful. Again Chuck I just can’t tell you enough what a great teacher and artist you and how much I appreciate your willingness to share with us! You’re the greatest!
I appreciate that, Linda! Means a ton to me
Sooooo much better than speed painting with again brush. Stunning.
You are the best teacher I’ve seen on utube. There are some good ones but you are the best! Thank you for sharing with us! It’s greatly appreciated!
Stunning.
Loved that sky and of course the trees.
What a treat ...to watch this painting
What I like or why I like you more than others is you show what brushes you used specifically and how much patient you are:) new to here not long ago, hope you will do live painting :)
Hi Chuck, I'm very new to painting. Clouds and trees have been the hardest for me. I will remember, the skeleton. And patience. Thanks for this vid.
A while back I painted the perfect tree. And have never been able to repeat it.
What I've discovered is that I did it in black and made it awesome when I touched it up with a fan brush and the perfect green.
Nice demo 😜
HELLO CHUCK,YU ARE REALY A MASTER PAINTER. I LOVE ALL YOUR PANTINGS VERY MUCH.THANK YOU AGAIN AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVEONES AND ALL THE SWEET PAINTERS....
So beautiful.
Really realistic.
Boh, so beautiful.
You’re paintings are better than some of my photography!
Dang Chuck, i've been binging on your vids, this is the one that sells me on your style, they all do, but maaan this one is legitimately spectacular
My struggle with trees is real thank you for this Chuck
Jill Valentine me too
Always my pleasure!
You are a real inspiration.. I jus learn something new from your all videos
Dontcha just love those dagger brushes for that? Me too!
Excellent instruction. I paint mostly trees, so this is VERY helpful. Thank you so much!!!
My pleasure, Elaine! Thank you as well
Beautiful painting
Your paintings are so good, it’s like I am in the painting. They are so soothing to look at. Could you upload the entire video of this painting?
I uploaded a 2-hour video previous to this, check it out if you haven't. the whole thing is about 12 hours of footage so I'm trying to see what I can do with that but that's a lot to post and edit
Chuck Black Art Thank You! I understand, I also have a small channel with few minutes videos, and it takes a lot of time to edit, so I know the effort it goes into editing. I am a beginner painter so it will be nice to learn how to paint more realisticly. 😊😊😊😊😊
Whoa, it's perfect! I will buy a dagger stripper brush
Great instruction. Thanks.
Thanks for this, I've struggled with how to get that look of small twigs. Now I know. x
I’ve been struggling so much with painting things that used to be easy for me. I really love this video and feel like it’s going to be so helpful. Sometimes I just need someone to talk through the steps and show me even when I already know how to do something. Can’t wait to be able to try these out when I have a bit of free time. Thank you so much for sharing. These focused videos on specific techniques are so helpful.
Really awesome feedback, love to hear it. You're most welcome!, Thanks for watching
Dam I love that sky

Great video for Painting winter trees!!
I cast it on my big television. Very nice
That sky is beautiful!!
Wow and wow.
Thanks for explaining the trees. I have alway had problems with the tiny branches and never thought about doing them with a glaze! Will try it on my next one
Beautiful painting! You actually feel like the brightest part of the sky hurts your eyes. Found myself squinting 😂
Amazing talent!
Terrific tutorial and I like that brush.
Amazingly talented!
I really appreciate how you break down your techniques. It really helps me to use the techniques on different paintings. You mentioned blocking your colors before and that really stuck with me. Because sometimes I just didn't know how to start. Thank you so much.
Wonderful !
Love this painting! Thank you for breaking it all down! ❤️👍🏻
Beautiful! You are soooooo talented!!! Thank you for sharing!

Chuck I always appreciate your tutorials so much! I love your paintings they are like looking at a photograph. I honestly believed this one was a photo until you started painting it. I am awestruck at how you are able to accomplish this. I keep watching and trying your tricks on my own paintings. Perhaps one day? That sky is absolutely mesmerizing!
Amazing painting, useful advices. Thank you very much!

This was also a big help, I love trees and draw them a lot but never really tried to paint many. I will refer to this tut when I do!
This has now taken over for my number one slot of fave paintings. I would love t see the full painting in a tut! Awesome, awesome work Chuck. 🏆🏅

Thank you Chuck, this came out beautiful! I have been staring at a painting I did a few weeks ago that was frustrating me because the trees were not right...I am going to try to fix it with these techniques!
Another great tutorial, Chuck! Continue to inspire and teach! ~Rich 🍻👍
I can't thank you enough for this approach to painting trees...it is just what I've been struggling with. Thank you so much!
Love to hear it, it's my pleasure! Thank you
@@chuckblackartHey, since I have your ear let me say, I did follow your steps and have painted oil over acrylics. Since I am working on about 6 pictures at once I have lost track of "What am I looking at? Oil or Acrylic?" Now I plan to write kinds of like a log keeping exact track of what paint I'm looking at...but in the meantime, do you know a way to tell which it is.? And how many days should I let the acrylic dry before putting the "sealer" on? I did it on one picture and then painted the oil and ended up with a big muddy cloud...as I lay in bed that night, I remembered that it was done on top of the fixative - I got up and wiped it all away...it was such a lesson...I was overjoyed at how it saved my picture.
(BTW I did buy 3 of those blade brushes and like them very well!)
Chuck, very nice painting ! I love too to paint autumn or sunsets. Yellow, orange, red are my favorite colours.
Thank you.
A french quiet painter
*EXCELLENT* ✌✌
Yellow Chuck, just wanted to tell you, i've recently found your channel and i'm so happy that i did! Amazing talent and just filled with neat little tips and tricks, this really gets me motivated to try n pick up the painting part once again! Keep producing these awesome videos myman!
always helpful your video ! :)
Wonderful!!! Is amazing!!😮😮😍❤💕👏👏
Wow 😍
Absolutely stunning, Chuck!! Thank you so much for sharing your talents! I'm an intermediate painter, leaning more towards beginner-intermediate. My son asked me to create a sunRise, a waterfall, and a mountain scene around in April. He sure doesn't ask for much, does he? Lol. Anyways! I'm struggling because I'm relatively new, and I learn by watching videos but can't find exactly what I need all in one video. I prefer acrylics so far . Would you do this kind of painting for us?...well...for me especially :) Keep doing what you do, Chuck. You were born for this. Thanks kindly!
Muhtesem 😍
Would love to see you do a Cityscape
It looks great Chuck. I was wondering if you could do a short clip or video on the small deer. I love seeing how you do tiny details
Hey Daniel, I'll try to come up with something for that. I filmed it, but I may have had the exposure set too low. it's dark footage, but I am going to look at it. Feedback duly noted!
More videos please !
On it 🎥🎥🎥📽️📽️📽️
Top.
This video was so helpful. I have been making a lot of pine trees for a series of snow scenes and have been using a dagger brush for the branches as well as other fine lines. They are great. However mine don't last all that long, eventually, they lose their crisp edge and start to 'feather out' a bit and have to be replaced. Maybe because I work in acrylics. Also, I had to put snow on my snow scene pines and messed up a few in the process, losing all the nice detail work on them. I started to just very judiciously put dots and vertical dashes of snow mostly on the tips of the outside branches with a small pointed round brush, and not the small fan brush I'd been using and that helped a lot. I also put enough blue into the snow mix so there wouldn't be too strong a contrast with the dark branches, and also watered it down a lot, again to reduce contrast.
However, it would really be a big help if you could show how you would go about putting a dusting of snow on your pines without losing all the realistic detail. I learn so much from you. Chuck. A big thanks from Upstate New York for all your help and great advice.
Thanks for the great feedback, I'm for sure going to be getting out more this winter and gathering reference for snow-covered pine trees and similar things. So expect some snow videos in the next 6 months. Yeah the dagger brush that I have here will lose its edge after a few paintings for me. But the brush still is very useful after that 4 similar things as well. I use a brush cleaner and gently wash it with that and soap and water each time I use it which seems to help maintain its edge. I've also become very careful with how I use it, only using it for parts where I'm brushing very gently. Anyways thanks again so much
