Beginner oil painting problems: When to paint around something not over it

I like it

So great to watch you paint Coach! We think we need a certain brush stroke or look. But you show us that it is application, moving, and layering the paint that makes the difference. Muchas gracias.

Are you using medium here or just mineral spirits? And do you always wear gloves?

Is this abstract clouds ?

Amazing video, this brings a lot of clarity..often this mistake is done by rushing..I often work on multiple paintings now to avoid rushing allowing layers to dry then work. Thanks

You remind me Of a art teacher I had many years ago. What really caught my eye about you is The way you hold your brush not like a pencil And that's the way the teacher I had in the past held her Brush. And I have it painted Is in 15 years Am struggling with the sunset. I keep redoing the sunset cause I don't like the way it's coming out I'm still not done with it. I am not happy with it

Good video...again. laughing at the very end, was not expecting that 🤣

The big cloud in the bottom square looks like it has a nose and two eyes 🤣🎨

Can you comment between brushing a cloud and dabbing ?

This is helpful!

Love your videos! Can you do one on how to add to an already dry painting?

Why the hell are you wearing gloves when you're painting are you afraid to get your hands dirty what kind of artist are you. Stop tickling the canvas with your brush

Beautiful clauds. I am going to follow your steps.

well that just makes sense thank you :)

your videos absolutely make me a better painter. So grateful for you!

That was very, very helpful. Thank you

Honestly the first one doesn’t look that bad in comparison. Different approaches yield different outcomes it really all depends what you want

Love this demo!

Beautiful but not to the required level, you need a lot of practice on the clouds

It seems that going dark to light really is the best practice… you really don’t muddy your colors

i wish you wouldve sped up more of the vid. the first box was tedious to watch.

painting on wet paint is like painting on the same layer, waiting for that paint to dry is like waiting for a new layer to load.

wet paint clouds are misty, whispy, and distant.

you can start with the farthest clouds and then wait for the paint to dry or have lineart for the clouds before painting the sky so that you can both distinct and distant clouds on the same layer.

love your videos! They are helping me so much. I think you could even go with a larger brush on some of these.

Idk I kinda like the first one more

You are a great painter,but this video is so confusing what was the point. I didn’t get it,it was just patches of paint on a canvas.

hey dude love your content youre a great teacher, but has anyone mentioned it sounds like your mic is too hot, we can hear you breathing and gulping and other generally unwanted noises id turn down the input my guy

This is great, thank you.

すごく勉強になりました！
日本語字幕がほしい！

I love this thank you. When you said we don't need fat over lean for things like this, I don't know what the things like this are 😕 Could you elaborate, please?
Thank you 🙏

Two words: Bob Ross. Had the Happiest little clouds painted over his sky,

for me the first one look more realistics, the other clouds looks more define.

How does this advice line up with your recent advice to get the darkest values down first, then add in / layer the lighter values on top?

I am confused , i have learned that you can't mix warm en cool colors together otherwise you get a neutral color instead of it going forward / backward and than here i see you mixing ultramarine and phatalo blue 🤔

It was nice at the end there to see you just enjoy painting, improving the clouds and not instructing as much. Just watching you made it a bit more relatable for me.

You give us painters hope.

Acrylic to oil struggles! For real

When you put the white highlighting over the clouds it really brought the painting out. Thats awesome

At last I understand my mistake thanks to you👍🙏

I'm not a fan of sharp edged clouds.

chris: paints a beautiful cloud, better than anything i could ever do

chris: you see how bad this looks?

Painting over is my mistake too ! I was wondering why my painting looks so dirty!

The both are good 😂. Btw, fantastic videos! Keep going and thanks for sharing your knowledge!

You are a truly lovely teacher, I feel like I’ve learned more watching your videos today than I have my whole semester in class. I’ve been feeling extremely frustrated with painting but your videos are so calming and helpful I feel way more motivated now. Thank you so much!😸💕

That's really helpful.. thanks for sharing your knowledge

Excellent video as always!

wow you have an amazing stage presence for an artist. I am a watercolorist and I am going to start a channel as well! its really great that you are a bit cheeky. I work in a nursing home and doing everything I can to get out by autumn 2021. Wish me luck!

Very interesting, but you can paint nice clouds over the background if you do wet on wet painting. Otherwise for good detail in normal oil painting going around is the key. Nice content keep it up.

what if you wait till its dry?

Would you use a larger brush to cover a large area or make more obvious strokes with. Smaller brush? I’ve been instructed both ways. I found success with watercolor, yet using various brushes in oils seems much different to me.

Bob ross would disagree 😁
