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.

Just saying, I thought your “dont’s” paper looks better than what I could ever do 😂 in all honesty these are great tips. thank you :)
I'm an art student and I saw both and thought to myself "no wonder professional artists buy 1000 dollar brushes they have to incorporate initial brushwork into such things" they would be using the best paper/canvas etc etc which is expensive as well. Failure in production can be costly. Warm up on your student paper even if you're amazing I suppose.
Thank you for giving an explanation as to why blocking in color works. Specifically, blocking in the dark colors first and than adding the highlights!
Glad it was helpful!
I seem to "get lost" in anything complicated like hair and foliage. I'm painting in acrylic but I'm still getting a lot from your videos! Id love to see one about how to not get so lost so fast, esp. with the reference pic in frame.
Going through the "Don't" example first was far more helpful than I expected, particularly at the end where you really start to have trouble maintaining the real look of hair at end of the strands, it really drove the point home of why to paint in broad shapes and detail from there.
This tutorial is a very solid help for paiting hairs, and indeed the principles ca' be applied on most things you wanna painting. Thank you so much. 🙏
I work in acrylics, and from what I saw everything you said would apply nicely to that medium. This video had more useful information than the entire semester of the painting class I had in 1983 where it seemed that no one was teaching this and seeking to learn it was perversely forbidden as I found out when I got caught with one of those Wendon Blake oil painting books in my taboret.
It's funny people demonize painting now almost if it's not digital painting. But there's ways to practice oil painting as cheaply as possible. I'm using expired walnut cooking oil to clean my brushes right now and the 1 dollar dish soap. That said it won't be cheap to get into oil painting despite the work arounds. You'll eventually ruin brushes etc because life happens.
^^^That said be careful with your oily rags folks if you live in an area like I do which is dry and hot your oily rags can combust in very short time! Hours!! I use shop towels and hand clean them a couple times with water and dish soap, then keep them wet until the moment they go to the dump
@@jeffm3283 Thanks, I haven't painted in oils since the 1980's, but if I take it up again, I'll keep your very good advice in mind. 👍
I think some other painter are keeping the best tips as secrets. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so lost in a pile of snakey hair, right now. I’m not sure this video is going to get me out, but, Chris, you are a wonderful encouragement. Such a warm, positive personality, on top of your excellent advice. Perfect coach. Sincerely appreciate your help.
Even the “what not to do” examples always look so good from this guy.
"Alright let's get to the demonstration...."

I’ve only been painting for about four years and you really helped me. Thank you.
Thank you Chris, I’m so looking forward to your fundamentals class, until then I plan to watch every one of your current videos and paint along. Practice,practice,practice -truly the name of the game!
THIS MADE IT CLICK FOR ME ❤❤❤ always had trouble with over saturated colors and this really cleared it up for me
Thank you so much for your work. This is so helpful ! I love oil painting, i just started and your course means a lot to me.
I love how you break it down. I am starting to oil paint from doing watercolor. I think my experience doing hair for 36 years helps.
13:25 I love this ! I paint kind of in a chaotic way and there's basic do's and dont's but really I approach every painting in a different way ! thank you for this lovely video love seeing you in action -
Really good video. I just did a block in of hair with Acrylic so interested in seeing how it turns out today when use oil. Love your style.
You definately have the ability to teach with all your comments.
I realize this is a tutorial on painting hair but I paint the face first then the hair and I could only guess you do the same.
My attempts have been from photos so I try my best to emulate the photo. The thought process behind your painting here is definately a plus. Thank you.
I just found your channel. I’m trying to learn to paint, and you are a good teacher! Thank you.
I love your work, thank you for teaching! You've been so helpful!
Happy to help!
Your explanation was easy to understand！thank you!!
Thank you for your awesome tutorial, and your voice is great... I can actually listen and learn from you. Unlike some tutorials that make me shut down and move on. Thank you♥️
I suck at hair! But it’s almost what really brings out a painting in portraits to a huge degree so I really want to perfect this, this turned out beautiful 🤩
So I was doing this portrait and its nearly finished but doesn't have hair and the first thing I saw when I woke up was this video and now I feel more confident in just going for it and see what happens! And your content is awesome by the way💪🔥
This was so helpful, thank you!
another info-packed, fun and instructive video👍
Thank you sò much...it helped me a lot!! Blessings to you.
Great video!! Thanks
You are a real good coach I need to take your course
Very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for the help. For the life of me I could *not* get the hair right. Amazing work. Keep it up.
Congratulations on a good work 👏🍀💐
I thank you very much that you are not greedy to share to us where to buy all these materials you use for the paintings. This gives us easy access and we have no more difficulty in searching where to find all these materials to start painting. Thank you very much! I am a fan subscriber and you are funny also when you explain how to paint....In short it is not boring to look and to hear what you explain :-)
Thanks, that helped!
Amazing. Thank you:)
This tutorial made it click for me 😄 thank you!
Thanks for the tips.
besides the great lessons I like the way you use the you tubes as an advertising medium rather than a panhandling platform
I really like the don’t in the video cover... Lhasa more character and I found it more interesting lol all beautiful tjougj
Same! Depends on your style
Thank youuuuu
You're so comical with your ads for your classes and video..."please choose one, they're both good" 😂
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks ❤️❤️
Hi Paint Coach,
I love this hair painting tutorial using oils. It's very helpful, handy and useful
Can you show how to do wispy hair
Wow thanks a lot!
congrats on a quarter million subscribers. If I got to your level I'd let loose and make a video on Velasquez or something like that. also I'd like it if you encouraged people that are serious about improving to take classes. I'm just taking community college classes but it's much better than navigating it by yourself online or whatever. You're doing a terrific job if we could pick apart Velasquez's brain and learn everything he knew about painting it would be a 100,000 hour long video you know. there's a limitless amount to learn about art
Amazing.. I tried out on canvas paper and it was .. Oh my god.
Perfecto
Thanks you know, you’ve taught me lots you know, keep it up you know, I’ve subscribed you know, and will try, you know,to keep watching you know , but it’s hard you know, cause - you know
Thanks for the great demo. I thought it was very helpful. I’m painting a black and white portrait and I’m still having difficulty with the hair. I feel like the hair is not up to par with the face. I really want to get this hair real. Any tips??
Thanks for great videos. Do you ever do any with water soluble oils?
Enjoy your tips immensely 😀
I do and I actually talk about them in tomorrows Paint Talk video
Great lesson. So is it simpler when doing black hair?
awsm sir...... sir which brush you used in this video....? round or flat for hair.
jajaja! This guy is lovely!!
i love your videos, just wanted to ask where did you get your palette from?
I love your videos! One thing confounding me as I practice is how to use gamsol and linseed oil. That is off camera so i can’t see which one you’re using, how often you dip, do you mix any linseed into your paint first. My paint always comes on the canvas either too runny or too “thick / sticky” - never seems to be buttery like yours. And my brush always gets saturated and dirty too fast unlike yours 😭
He is using just thinner early on and very little of it then linseed later but also very little. You dont need much atall and the paint becomes smoother rather than thinner.
Can you talk about color mixing strings on your pallet
this is great! would the same technics apply to acrylic painting?
Yes
hi amezing dear plzz make video on alaprima
Sure 😊
Excellent video, thanks for sharing. As far as the paint colors used for blonde hair, I detected black, dark brown, Titanium white, yellow light, and yellow ochre. Did I miss anything?
Looks like he is just using the primaries and burnt umber / burnt sienna.
and white
What are the paint colors that you show in this video.? Is that ultramarine blue, cad yellow, alizarin crimson, cad red light, black and white? Is there any cobalt blue? Or another color? I'm having trouble mixing the mid values that look like yours. Thanks
how to make the face and background without messing up the hair
Found this super helpful! Thanks! (>w
👌💕
Hello cris
Holy crap that’s exactly what my hair looks like!! It’s kind of uncanny
how many younos ??
7
Ok buona dimostrazione, ma come tutorial serve a poco senza immagine di riferimento non possiamo vedere come hai sintetizzato le varie zone dei capelli.
N
it‘s sad, I am doing what the DONT do thing
What are u saying???
This makes no sense you should be famous by now!
how hard is it for you to try to paint wrong. the dont do this painting must be difficult when you are used to implementing your techniques correctly.
i'm the another one, but kid is not my son
Talk tpp much
I really did not understand!!! blablablabla there is no cohesion !! lost!!
Thats your fault not his. He made perfect sense.
There are no do's and don'ts. Your 'correct' version doesn't even look realistic so don't be telling people this is the way to do it.
Yes there are do's and dont if you are attempting to be a realist painter. That is pretty ungrateful considering he is offering genuine help (also good advice) for free. Also yes it does absolutely look realistic.
Even the “what not to do” examples always look so good from this guy.
