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" around Los Angeles with my easel and headphones.

But I want my first painting to be a masterpiece that will be in a museum for centuries to come...

Why don't you have more views, I had to dive deep in youtube for this

[Mas_orB]

Thank you for getting to the point immediately! Most videos take forever to get into it.

Appreciate how straight to the point and honest your video was. I’ve been painting with acrylics for years, but I’m trying to start using oils. So many confusing things about it, and just need somewhere to start. Thanks for the advice 😃

[arcofprado]

Great video! I actually have been oil painting for a while but wanted to see what you had to say and this is perfect for beginners! What I would have loved to hear when I started out

[ItsMissTavares]

I love how back then you didn’t recommend water mixable oil paint but now seeing your recent videos you actually love them 😆

[absolutebuffoon]

I just received some oil paints as a Christmas gift, I'm very excited to learn with them!

[dianthus]

This was a great video. I really want to learn to paint and took a local class. It was pretty overwhelming so I've been binging on beginner videos. Yours is encouraging and I'm going to give that class another try. Thanks.

Me before I go to an art store: I know exactly what I need and where it is
Me when I get there: s h a p e s a n d c o l o r s

Seriously though it’s going to be so nice to walk into an art store and know what I need instead of googling while I’m there and fumbling around with paints and brushes

[camgscott]

Love your videos bro. Simple and straight the point with no bs. Superb!

[melaniesalavante]

Aha! Just found this video. Checking this one out. “...as soon as possible, and as cheap as possible.”

The residu sinks in the jar, you take the clean thinner out and how do you get the residu out of the ajr after that ?
