You know, it's very rare that you actually get someone laying down the very basics *and* the finalising advice in the span of a single lesson. Very well done!
This was hands-down the most helpful and concise tutorial video on oil painting I have seen. Thank you so much for making this.
thanks for sharing you are good! and I really enjoyed how you present this video thanks again [Robert T Lawson sr.
this is a skilled and a serious artist
If I lived nearby, I would clean your house, take out your garbage, cook, clean friggin toilets, just to be your student. You, sir, are inspiring. And I don't even like cleaning. ;)
so you don't want to pay the tuition, right? :-)
@@user-zo5oh4gc7s right, the days of barter (trading a chicken for cabbages) are over, now it takes cold hard cash to pay for services rendered!!!
@@ronschlorff7089 not necessarily, true masters still exist and so do true students. Wisdom cannot be bought a degree however can be.
@@aysenuri2419right anything of value will cost, otherwise it has no value! The currency used for purchase can change, shekels, to dollars, and of course your time, the most valuable of all commodities, since once lost, it can never ever be recovered!
@@user-zo5oh4gc7s But he is willing to provide services in exchange for knowledge. If he had someone do those things for him, that person would expect to be paid. Although he probably can do those things himself.
I love how you only put the ads at the front of the video and keep the main process ad-free for proper viewing. Thank you
ignore the rude and wretched ingrates. the rest of us are verrrrrrry thankful for your incredible generosity and hard work .bravo for doing the best you can. an inspiring example. God bless you Mark. my first time to make a comment .felt i had to!
Thank you! You are fantastic teacher!!! Hope to continue to catch your advices and suggestions.
Artist’s curse - nice that you admit to it; I just hate artists who rave about their own work. Perhaps being a little dissatisfied with our creations leads us to make another and another.................
I think you’re very skilled and love this work - I guess let others be the judge of our work is the best advice.
True artists don't hate like some of the poeple on here. The hate shows you the jealousy/envy in their minds. They just wanna justify that they could somehow compete with this tier of experience. The world is full of geniuses! :) I've been doing art since I could walk and I'm nowhere near this good of an oil painter. NOthing wrong w/ admitting true talent and experience ;)

I just want to say thanks.I watched this video 5 years ago and was inspired to resume painting again after 32 years of giving it up.
Fantastic! I graduated with honors in painting and your videos have taught me more than my entire education. Thank you for your generosity!
Mark taught me how to paint portraits and it was a miracle. I went to Austin and took his class and when I got back I painted my father so I would not forget all the rules "not too many but some you have to follow really well" The portrait I did look so beautiful that there were a fight on my family of who would have it. He paints like Sargent and he is probably;y the best oil teacher in AMERICA.
This is the video that reinspired me to return to art after giving it up for 32 years.I will be forever grateful to you Mark a heartfelt thanks!
Very instructional. So much better than watching a speed-painting. Well edited video, too with multi camera angles.
the Color checker idea is genius
Did you made it?
yeah, prior to that painters had to use the tip of their brush. Crazy right?
@@ams9449 what ever works. Looks easy to manufacture one one's self. I've used a simpler one for years in the field!
This little gadget has improved my color matching ability tremendously.
My sweet hubby made one for me ! It’s amazing. He followed marks instruction on how too ,on his site.
Works great .
I’m placing my order for the Geneva paints today . I can’t deal with the constant smell, why my eyes burn. Well after a test of regular oils over & over again and dealing with thick drying out paints.i need to try these after reading all the reviews . Wish we could try a sample kit . Before the big leap of bucks. Sometimes we just need to trust the master teacher .
These are the most comprehensive videos on oil painting I've ever seen. I'm an architect and have taken fine art courses but your video instruction is superb and tops any formal instruction out there. I have to do one of your on-site workshops in the future. By watching your videos I think I'm ready to make a mid-life change. My drawing and painting skills have improved dramatically and ten-fold with your instruction! Thanks!!!!!

This one video changed perspective of "paint what you see" tremendously! I HAD to make a color checker and my realism paintings have improved exponentially! I can watch you paint for hours! You are truly a great teacher and a great artist.
Thank You!
Joe
Whats a color checker?
@@Aglaesia a small device that lets you see your mixed paint and the object you are looking at simultaneously while blocking our the surrounded area. If you Google paint color checker you should see one. Most commonly they have a circle you look through and a small tab that you can place you mixed paint on. Some people also use a small mirror and place mixed paint in it so you can see your target and your mixed paint side by side. If you get the mix perfected, the transition between mirror and paint will be almost invisible.
You are an extraordinary art teacher. The way you think out loud and the way you approach all details, is an inspiration and a huge transmission of knowledge.
Thank you for helping us to be better painters.
I just watch these over and over. So relaxing and satisfying
I studied engineering, then painting, then 3d animation, and have painted for more than 30 years. I have to say this is the best approach to direct-painting out there. The movie Tim's Vermeer, in essence, is a combination of your concepts with those of Philip Steadman and David Hockney. Some of the naysayers criticizing the "darker than black" comment have a poor understanding of the concept of luminance, reflectance, and what in photography is called "clipping". In other words, as Paul Centore illustrates in his research, a black object in the light may appear brighter than a white object in shadows. In this case, the black paint on your checker is reflecting more photons than the brighter-colored cup in the shadow. Hence, you can have things appear "darker than black". Your solution is to clip the shadows, which works perfectly well when the light is in front of the object and the scene's reflectance is similar to the value range between black and white. It gets trickier if the scene is a backlit, high-dynamic-range scene. Your direct approach means that you are applying no gamma correction to color and are using a linear approach to record reflectance. This will inevitably lead to clipping of shadows and specular reflections (which you address in the video about flesh tones). In contrast, a photographer can use exposure control, bracketing, and gamma controls to get around this issue and force a higher range between black and white to register details in the light and the shadow that would be clipped using your technique. This is one of the reasons why direct painting produces a more natural look than photographs, and why it is so easy to spot paintings made from photographs. Thank you for this video. I will definitely include it in the references of my graduate dissertation in arts and technology.
Sir, I am a beginner painter (still using acrylic but want to move onto oils) and I have learned so much from your videos. This video is fantastic. It is nice to see from start to finish the process. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity in uploading this free lesson. If I was in Texas I'd take lessons with you. Greetings from Australia.
Everything about this tutorial (and all the others in your series) is top notch. Understated. Not showy or flashy. Really well lit and filmed in real time, as it happens. Your efforts are much appreciated...
I'll bet the big art schools hate instructors like you who make teaching look easy. Thanks for all you do!
This guy comes across with more knowledge and calm, inspiring confidence in me than all of the art instructors
One of the best visual arts teachers I've ever met. Keep going.
This in retrospective makes me realize I had a few poor college art teachers.
Thank you: )
I am working my way through every one of your videos, and each one teaches me something new. The way you explain everything, from colour mixing, the process of making every decision and deciding when the painting has finished has given me the confidence to give oil painting a try. (As a bonus your voice is very calming, and thank you for not playing any music in the background.)
You look like an art/music who’s been on it for so long and has been so good at it that you decided to become a teacher to spice things up a little
Learn more in your video then my 4 years in fine arts painting class!!!amazing info in observing colour defining within the light and shadows. I notice tint transitions which you where pointing out .AWESOME ART CLASS!
There is a supply list on the drawmixpaint home page at the top. Thanks!
Love the way you paint with long handled brushes.Thank you for sharing. You are terrific
Absolutely the best oil paint tutorials ever, thank you! :-)
Such details in 1h and half of painting, didnt know this was possibile with oil. Makes me want to try. Inspiring!
Sir, is it possible for you to do a session on brushes? Lot of paintings lose their potential due to painters lack of knowledge about which brush to use when, what sort of brushes to ignore etc
حلقة جديدة
Very true. Brushes I hate them.
hes a big fan of filberts is what i know
get out of here with ur pretentious bull. a good artist can make a toothpick work
@@brownie3454 while that’s true, using optimal tools does make the process easier.
excellent instructor and explains important techniques that makes painting a joy
I'm a hyper realism artist that has only ever been able to work with charcoals and graphite, and have been wanting to learn how to paint for years now. Specifically oil paint. My hand has become so adjusted to a pencil that a paintbrush and color have felt very foreign to me. So thank you so much for this video. It's highly appreciated.
I didn't even know there was such thing as a color checker, that would help a lot with my problem.
Also was very amazed that you were doing all those fine detailed strokes WITHOUT using a arm rest / brace / something to steady your hand with. It was completely free hand. in fact your other hand was always loaded with 10 brushes. Amazing. Thanks again.
Wow! Thanks Mr. Carder, for putting out such excellent information on oil painting, especially it being free.
Your definitely the BEST online instructor I've seen on TH-cam. I truly enjoy your very well constructed tutorials. I learn something new with each video. Last video I saw, I learned not to over saturate colors when editing pictures in Photoshop to use as reference for my paintings. Thank you for your hard work and I am sure everyone loves your hard work you put in all your videos :)
Illuminating meditation in paint - from which I've learned a lot, a huge amount. Thank you
As an artist that hasn't done anything in years,..thanks.
You taught me to 'see' again. :)
The explanations you give for your thought processes as you paint speak very clearly to me, so I find your style of teaching to be not only effective but most enjoyable. I can't thank you enough for dong this and I hope you can get as much from doing it as your viewers like myself are getting.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! A book or live class can't "teach"....but you do!!
Besides you thoroughness in explaining and your patience at letting us see the whole process and not setting the camera on super speed, your camera person has followed your every move. This helps tremendously in us feeling we have watched your process completely. Much thanks. I hope I find the patience to do this exercise to strengthen my overall knowledge.
Amazing that it has taken this many years for such a concise and comprehensive and extremely doable form of oil painting instruction to emerge! Far and away the greatest instruction on “painting what you see” I have ever, ever, been exposed to!! Remarkable!
Simply incredibly, and so incredibly informative. Please forgive any negative comments below, as some people will always feel the need to somehow add negativity. Seriously, I appreciate your videos so much, and I find you to be an amazing artist. Thanks, and blessings x. Looking forward to seeing more.
Absolutely great tutorial. I've always thought of oils as so difficult to use, but you completely de-mystified them for me.
Thanks
Ive been painting for 15 years, watching your video for 1.5 hours I learnt more than I have about painting in the last 5. Superb.
This is the best I have watched as a new oil painted. Your technique is masterful
Extremely helpful and inspirational tutoring here. Love the classical quality of the style and manner in which you paint. I've been painting for years, yet we can always learn and expand. Thank you for your wonderful contribution to online education. I truly enjoy your manner and expertise.
Thanks for the class. It made me remember when I tried to paint a mug with no knowledge, this solves my doubts.
I always say, the painting is art and teaching is another art, you have both, beautiful and totally understandable, than you Mark.
I used to paint years ago without any instruction. You have helped me see what I was doing wrong and I'm returning to painting after 14 years. So glad to learn about the artists curse from your other videos. Thank you... Thank you... Thank you
it is May 23, first ive seen of you and your videos,and all i can say is thank you SIR,i am loving every bit of what i see and hear. not a profressional or amauture,just trying something ive always wanted to do and you ,i am so understanding and for this i thank you.it's my year to be sixty and i'm loving it .about to check out the free lessons again Sir i thank you.
Never have I seen such precision. No wonder your work is so superb. Your patience is astounding.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this valuable tutorial with everyone for FREE. I don't even paint, but the lessons I learned here will be applied elsewhere in my life and remain just as beneficial. You're an excellent teacher. I hope you are aware of how many people you've helped with this video, and how many more it will continue to help as it remains posted. Outfriggenstanding!
Hey Mark. Teaching this method for free is very generous! I'll definitely be buying your full-length video downloads too. I'll be really interested to see your videos on mediums.
I struggle with finding the values to bring a painting together the way I want it to look. These videos help me get a lot more insight on how to take my time and choose more accurately.
When it comes to value, squinting to make things blurry and indistinct is very useful. My vision is terrible without my glasses, but stepping back from the painting and taking them off always shows me what areas are too bright or too dark.
This is a fantastic presentation. The explanations are great, but especially helpful are the side-by-side split screen of subject and canvas, and the down-the-barrel shot with the color checker. It's hard to imagine a better video presentation of a painting class. You should be proud of yourselves.
Unschooled in art, I've learned in one day what I've struggled doing in years. I heard other masters never share their secrets.
Your work on the silver cup is remarkable. It is artistry of a very high order and a joy to watch and hear your thought process as you paint. If you don't get joy from the completed painting, maybe you will be pleased that someone else does.
I'd like to tell you what a tremendous inspiration you are. I've desired to paint in this style but never thought I'd be able to. Your methodology puts the process into an understandable and doable work flow that gets results. Thank you for sharing and caring enough to put the time and effort into passing on your knowledge.
I just 'discovered' you this morning and I am hooked. I can't stop watching your videos. I feel like I finally found some straightforward tutorials with practical applications. Thank you SO much!
Thank you! I was glad to hear you struggle with same thing I do. Sometimes, instead of just leaving a painting alone, I will find some flaw, and then end up ruining the whole thing, where I can't get it back. Now I have 2 paintings I haven't finished, because I am afraid in putting the final touches in, I will completely mess them up.
This is a great tutorial. I appreciate you taking the time to do this.
One of the best painting tutorials I have ever seen ! Thank you for sharing all the helpful informations .
You know, your videos have been a godsend for me. I only wish i'd found them sooner..
Hi Mark, I just wanted to say that you offer the best painting instruction I have ever come across. Thank you so much! :)
I love this video! It's so helpful to hear the process that goes on in the artist's head.
thank you very much for sharing all this info! I'm transferring from acrylics to oil paint and your videos has been helping me a lot! Thanks!
A silver cup has never been so interesting. You've helped me understand not only what to look for, but also understand what to see. Thank you for sharing you knowledge, skill and time with us.
Mark, you give your painting knowledge generously to us. You explain things so well. Thanks!
Gracias señor por los subtítulos en español, he aprendido mucho, me encanto, 🙏excelente maestro😄
I just watched the whole lesson. Thank you so much teacher, I appreciate your efforts
I can not get over how steady Mark holds the brush. Mahl stick schmal stick! LOL! Can’t tell you how much I’m learning from these videos. Mark is one of the very few real teachers out there. Everyone else just shows you how they paint and it’s up to you to figure out what they are doing. Thanks, Mark!
Hey Noni! Good to see you too, do hope you will be painting again soon. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
Really nice! Thank you for taking the time and sharing with us. This is really very generous, and you are clearly very talented. Thank you so much.☺️
Thank you sir. Hands down the best series of videos on painting and color mixing I've seen.
I am so happy I found your video's. I tend to work too fast. I like your detail and restraint. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge, it means a lot
I love it. I think your painting looks better than the subject. that is what makes a painting better than real life. the gala of it. thank you for the pain staking demonstration. it shows how a true artist hones their craft.
Your style of teaching works very well for me and the information is excellent... it meets my needs. It is all practical and doesn't leave out the little details that make the difference between success and so-so results. I also appreciate the fact that your tools are affordable and doable. Many thanks for all your time and effort. I hope you continue with the videos over a wide range of subjects.
YOU ARE THE BEST OIL PAINTING TEACHER ON TH-cam THANK YOU FOR THE TIME YOU PUT IN AND THE FREE TEACHINGS, THIS IS INVALUABLE INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantástico! parabéns, ficou perfeita.
Amazing lessons, thank you so much. Love your technique with mixing your colours into the jars...very clever to save time! Do you use a separate brush for each step?
Thank you so much for your amazing teaching gift and generosity. I went to the hardware store and picked up some paint swatches just to try out your mixing method with the 5 colors. I was STUNNED!!! I have learned more in your videos than anywhere else I have sought education. I am so very grateful!!!!
Hi Mark, I found good ways to get over the artist's curse. I turn my painting upside down or look at it in a mirror. Or you can take a photo then flip it. Sometimes looking at it from an angle helps. These ways seem to trick my brain into thinking it's another painting.
Icredible detail and patience. That is what I need to learn. Thank you for your wonderful technique, I also learn a lot about colors. Also the consistence of your paint is very instructive. Thank you
Will be releasing a video on painting textures and patterns in the future. :-)
I have only been oill painting for one year and do not do not everyday as i work alot, i have come along way...I started with seascapes and people love them... You are unequivocally one of the best teachers i have come across...although my skill level is obviously not as yours I now know that with a commitment, that it is very possible to become an accomplished artist after watching all your tutorials...you are so patient with yourself and and your own work...The first time i made a blunder, my heart sunk...but without a teacher i fix it and then gained confidence...>>>
Mark thank you so much for taking the time to produce these great videos. They are a big help to anyone who needs inspiration and guidence while painting. From all the studio prep to the actual painting itself is absolutely wonderful. Keep them coming. And than you again.
I also learned so much...and that's after painting for 25 years. Wow. Thank you.
Great
You have an amazingly steady hand! Great painting!
Bravo thanks for helping and showing your talents, is not easy to put ourselves in a vulnerable place .

To make the paint runnier, he mixes it with a medium. You can watch his instruction here: /watch?v=lpU9egKu-kM And get the recipe here: drawmixpaint.com/supplylist/
I don't really like still life, but I still really enjoyed watching you paint and I learned so much. Thx
I only found your site tonight but am in awe of your talents and so grateful to you for sharing your expertise with us. I really like the way you take us step by step through your process so clearly and concisely. I have learnt so much this evening. Thankyou! You have a new fan and follower from down under.
Thank you watercolorist7! :-)
Where can I buy a color checker tool? That is very useful indeed.
+Marlon Rodriguez genevafineart.com
+Draw Mix Paint thank you.
I've learned a lot about shine from your painting lesson! Thank you so much!
Please make more videos like this.. that’s why it’s your second rank video. Students need real time tutorials
+Marie-jo valiseousacados I will be selling color checkers within the next week here in the United States, and hopefully internationally very soon. :)
+Draw Mix Paint I have a huge question for you! I noticed you always stain your canvas. Have you ever encountered a problem with that? Let's say you stained your canvas, and then you decided to paint something that had a lot of white in it... Was that a problem, or should I start to stain mine too? I am afraid to stain all my canvases, and then regret it :D
+Bello's Mafia Underpainting is done to help harmonize the piece. Most painting mediums lets you paint over it once it's dry so don't be afraid to do it if you make a mistake (on that note, don't be afraid to make mistakes).
But you shouldn't prepare a batch of canvasses ahead of time since the colour choice is important, not to mention texture, type of paint, etc.

I love the camera placements :)
sir i love your videos... please continue uploading more on painting..
i love alllll your videos..
Thank you; color master who understands only applies with passion , is the perfect link between matter and soul binding .
