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.

When you wanna finish it but you remember it still needs to dry

This is the worst attempt at painting the Swedish flag I've ever seen

What a simple but indeed helpful technique for the newbies in oil painting. Starting from thin to thick is a good way of combining your colors or painting over it where it it doesn't look dirty and you got the combination you wanted. Wiping your brush well on a paper towel, and stroking your paint brush lightly so you could build another color on top of it without messing it up is really helpful. Using this technique where you only need a paint brush (a specific type of paint brush), paint thinner, and types of colors you can now make an art.

Even the mess you've made on the paper towel turned into art! That was really helpful thank you!

[caycarlson]

This is the first time I watched a tutorial on thin over thick that demonstrated clearly why. Thank you. I will mend my unwise ways

[babyhoodoo]

I really hope my daughter is going to enjoy this video when I play it loud on the TV as she’s coming in from school lol

[nataliesad]

You’re like a frat dude gym coach that got into painting ily 🤟

[artisthueman]

Absolutely love the tips!! You're killing me with the swallowing though, it's so loud everytime I hear it I get a little chuckle. Mic quality on point✨😂

Hey so i just got everything it’s on its way, and i just wanted to clarify this since I’m watching non stop tutorials. My plan is obviously after liquid white to prep the canvas, go with oil+gamsol for the first layer, oil and linseed oil, then straight oil (obvios variance in between etc). Just want to make sure that when i start painting i make as little mistakes as possible lol thanks for your videos man!

[dispozablehero]

My problem is i go to do some highlights with pure white and it just mixes and muddles regardless the difference of consistency. Ive been trying oils after doing acrylics for so long and its such a learning curve

[nunyabusiness]

I'm an art student out here at 4 AM getting educated and reflecting on my recent paintings haha

[hamzailarzeg]

The actual way to solve that is to wait for the blue paint to dry and then paint over it.
That's why some pieces take years to make, but it's the correct way

[simonegreco]

Isn't more convenient to leave spaces and block in forms to save time and paint? Like one area is assumed to be blue, other is orange etc...

[sujatasarahabraham]

Love it this is exactly what I needed to know I’ve started painting after 38 yrs I usually do pour painting which is quick thanks

[kavithajaikumar]

Very helpful & thank you 😇 Can you make a video on identifying color values (those which are subtle in hue) & how to deconstruct it while painting a portrait ?

Thank you so much, I've been trying to get into painting using oil paint because I love art but never tried oil paint before. Just picked up brushes paint and some canvases to do this, so thanks for the tips and keep it up, other artists are too confusing.

[artsiecrafty]

When I want to go over a color, I wipe off the paint with a q tip. Then I can paint the new color. Or, I just let it dry. I never use thinner.

[jess_soullem]

The tissue is slowly turning into art.

[MariaMilenovasArt]

Just started my masters and I had no idea where all these flaws in my painting process were coming from during oil class. This helped. Thanks!
