Oil Painting Broken Down So You Can Understand

In this video I break down how to paint this skull one color at a time.

Books

Materials I suggest for beginners:
Titanium White, Cadmium Red Hue, Cadmium Lemon, French Ultramarine, Yellow Ochre, Cerulean blue

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.

Grayish toned colors are actually called "chromatic grays" (just if you were curious :D I recently learned about it!)

I really like this guy, no ego, its all about the paint and the process and he makes it so simple and takes away all the stuffy bull shit that is toxic in the art world

[shivankparashar]

Yes, make a video on sketching with Oil paint.

[tangiblepress]

Yes, more about drawing for painters would be great. For example part of what is good about this skull is the proportions and angle all being right. Very hard!

[HardHitMag]

I don't paint but rather draw with pencils but still find this very helpful. Because these rules can be applied to any greyscale as well. so thank you.

I wish you had a watercolor version, however even though I used watercolor and I'm an absolute beginner it looks so good. much love God bless !.

[vasundharabaidya]

A drawing video would be amazing and btw just wanted to let you know your videos are my saviour. Love your work ♥️

[euscieu]

Yes! Please make a drawing video.
My issue is that I always end up having weirdly skewed paintings because my drawing sucks.
