So far this seems to be a very good and nice channel I highly recommend. Nice guy giving good and honest advice in a pedagogical and efficient matter. Many other channels are too commercial, babble about irrelevant things, wasting your time, clickbating, not giving advice efficiently and on what you want to hear. Keep up the good work! 🙂

I have infinite love for you for offering this education for free. I put 8 years into college and have learned more comprehensive & fundamental information through this channel than I did there. In part because you truly want to teach us something and not cash in on young students' debt. I had professors who didn't want to "deal with me" because they didn't like my content style and wanted me to change majors. This channel has taken my art to places I didn't fully think myself possible of because the professionals I was learning from didn't seem to have faith in my work. From the depths of my heart, *thank you.* As someone who came from BFK Ohio, I didn't have access to learning techniques, pretty well self-taught and that only got me so far. I had a hand full of professors I knew would help me learn, but the ones I needed to have my back didn't. What you do may not seem important to some, but it is honestly a much-needed resource that is incredulously lacking in the art world (#dontgatekeepart). I wish you and this channel the best, take care!!

I actually draw with black and white acrylics. Helps to eliminate wrist pain for me at least. It's also much faster than pencil.

Thanks a lot. I was looking for what to exercise.

[catswortcatswort]

I love this so much. I still struggle to understand 'form' in art class, like the bit in my head that comprehends 3d is busted. But learning about value shapes really helped my artwork to look more believable. I look forward to trying out some of these exercises.

Thank you so much for your videos! They are very helpful. I study oil painting as an adult and it answers many questions 🥰

[fromeveryting]

Some of the most helpful things for me has been to copy paintings of painters I want to paint more like. Copied edgar payne and it was very very helpful. Also with a very limited palette. Prussian blue + red iron oxide / yellow ochre + ultramarine + burnt sienna etc. the best paintings very very very often only has two main colours. Analagous colour scheme. Like yellows and oranges together with muted blues or opposite.

Thanks! For the first one I like to use leftover paints all mixed together. Get some interesting tones that way as a bonus.
