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.

Your painting method makes the most sense to me. Thank you. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I painted as a kid. I liked to draw, but no one told me how to draw. I copied what I liked by drawing/eracing over and over till the paper was worn out til it looked right. Then I took a drawing class in college. I bought my list of materials. We drew some basic stuff but one class that ended my 'drawing' was to draw a shopping cart... 'draw the spaces' but don't look at your hand class. I never went back. One reason: my classmates were art students and they already knew how to draw and I felt like I would flunk the class because nothing I did would be grade worthy. In hind sight, I should have talked to the teacher and asked more questions. I should have gone back over and over and failed that way, not given up. She was a ceramic artist and I felt great about her pottery class but... drawing class didn't inspire me. My love for art never stopped but bad teachers in college... can kill your inspiration. My advise: Don't let them. College gives you methods. Soak up everything like a sponge but never give up. The only TV painter was Bob Ross and he was so 'sweet and kind' he got on my last nerve like Mr Rogers. Hot flash to now, I was bored and looked up how to draw a nose. And I kept finding videos. I started watching the Art Sherpa, fell in love with painting. It was fun to make a mess and paint over it. My first paints were loaded with primary colors and bad drawing skills. I got better, still getting better. I wanted to improve my drawing skills, I found Proko and Aaron Blaise. I was looking up plein air and found you. I like your videos! You are inspiring and fun. I agree you need to find good teachers and take classes in person. But never stop playing even if you go to art school. Thank you!
So true, jumping around on techniques because you're inspired by the artist's work CAN be such a trap. Great video brah
Thank you good sir
I really love your Paint Talks. I'm just starting out with oils and watching a lot of content to find what I'm looking for. But because I have no idea what styles of painting are around with oils I'm still looking what is around. I do like the kinda more lose approach in what you paint, so that might be freeing for someone how usually is obsessed with photorealism, like me.
I am so grateful that I found your channel. You offer genuinely helpful information and perspective. Also, the home translation is why Bob Ross was one of the best. Some ideas for topics/talks: pigment and paint comparisons, mediums, what it looks like when things go wrong and how to fix it (like my perfect blending having harsh lines the next day, or my polka dot sky... 😑😥😦🤬)... Starter ideas, drying time in different temperatures and humidity, tricks, etc. Thanks again!
Adrienne Olson thanks! Those are great video ideas! You will see those very soon
Brilliant again. I find I’m struggling to paint as much as I want because after all my daytime responsibilities when I get a chance to paint I’m tired. Which sucks.
J R Lakin fight the tired!
Lift weights, cut the carbs, wait as long as possible to drink any caffeine during the day. Lots of “artist” are straight soy
@@cybergoth8332 it’s been two years, are you still a monster?
So so so helpful. Thank you
Thank you that’s what I have been doing jumping from artist to artist then my mind is whirling around hard to concentrate when you do that
Excellent tutorial, do more, great help
michael mc ewan thanks! I got more on the way!
So this was Paint Talk #1, BTW I enjoy your talks and work. During 90% of this you seemed to avoid looking into the camera lens, but the summary was the exact opposite, why?
Awesome Ju Ju ,,, stillernation
STEELERS!
If I could share a great way to get some free art lessons? I live in Philly, we have a great art scene here, and I'm a life model. I get to glean information while I'm standing still and getting paid! It's also a REALLY great way to network, which doesn't come easily for me normally. This is great for me because I went to art School, but then I got married and had a family, divorced, all that jazz and life just got in the way. I'm just getting back into my artwork seriously now at 39.
i will be faithful to you!
Timeless advice
I have watched all your paintings, which size do you normally do because they look to be small but realistic
I looked all over your youtube site and couldn't find your name anywhere. I finally found it in your email address. I assume you're Chris Fornataro? It shouldn't be difficult to find your name. I thought you might want to be made aware of this problem. It's hard to relate to anyone without their name. Joan Williamson
The sound is a little low a times
Wow nice upload my friend ✌️❤️
Thanks for sharing
New abstract artist here please stay connected 🙋🏻♂️❤️
I'm a beginner, I've painted just one oil painting and it turned out great but I'm not sure if I used mediums correctly.. They gave me 2 bottles in the art store- one is 50%linseed oil 50%turpentine and I've thinned out all layers of painting with that (so I wasnt able to put less oil in first layers , it was same amout of oil all throughout the painting, I can just do thicker layers at the end).. And other bottle is some cheap thinner for all paints based on alkyd resins and they've told me to clean my brushes with that so I'm not even sure if I can use it while I'm painting or just to clean my brushes at the end..
Anja R people make mediums waaaaay to complicated. My next video will be on medium . Mainly linseed oil with is what I suggest.
Also, why did both brands of my lemon yellow age terribly but the rest were okay?
Adrienne Olson oil shouldn’t go bad. It my have some discoloration in the top layer of oil in the tube but you can just squirt that out and still use the paint.
@@paintcoach not so discolored.... Just super light, almost sheer pigment. I talked to my friend who is an excellent painter and she said that she has seen old lemon yellow do that also, but we don't know why.... Maybe it separates more over time? I dunno. I bought a new tube because I am unsure of the others. I know that with dyes, blue molecules are smaller than red, which are the largest.
Lol, Joe Rogan getting high!
