I am new to the painting world and long passed the time for regular education on the topic. So, it will have to be self thought. I am considering some tutorials to be downloaded through the internet and work on my own time.
Have you tried any one that you were impressed? Did it help with your progress, and which way?
What can you recommend and what is your thoughts about it?
C&C always welcome
September 13, 2019 at 12:00 pm #879353Wow, there are some quite useful, excellent Youtube tutorials by some artists who do an excellent job of explaining what thoughts are going through their minds as they demonstrate painting.
Some of the better ones, in my opinion, are the following.
Mark Carder
Duffy Sheridan
Andrew TischlerJust Google a Youtube version of those three individuals, and you will have just about all you can handle for a long time.
Duffy Sheridan’s vid. can become a bit slow-moving, because he most definitely takes his time. Painting is NOT a timed contest, as far as Duffy Sheridan is concerned, but if you like information regarding painting portraits, you should visit his site. One of his self-portraits, work-in-progress tutorials exists on Youtube in about 13 separate videos. Try to find #1, and work your way through them.
Mark Carder is excellent for still-lifes.
Andrew Tischler is excellent for landscapes.

Portrait, florals, landscapes, seascapes, still life..so many subjects..
Loose, abstract, realism, impressionism.. so many stylesSome of the well known artists on you tube also have websites with DVDs or online classes.

September 15, 2019 at 10:59 am #879367Andrew Tischler is a great teacher. Although I get jealous looking at all those lovely tubes of Langridge.
If you watch ten-or-so videos by Michael James Smith, you’ll know most his tricks. It’s kind of a foolproof way to make a great landscape painting. I’m not saying that you don’t need talent to do what he does, and I’m not saying that you’ll succeed on your first try. But if you have some talent, and if you give it a number of tries, you’ll probably be happy with the results.
September 15, 2019 at 12:24 pm #879374While not a tutorial, Stefan Bauman has a number of YouTube videos where he talks about painting,, composition and lighting, the art world, and the business of art. He deals a lot with painting en plein air and advocates “…painting effects, not objects”.
…Just ignore the pirate get-ups.

September 15, 2019 at 2:22 pm #879364I know it is improbable that you know Spanish, but I think it is worth to take a look at videos made by J. Martón:

The guy works with just Linseed oil and Turpentine.
September 20, 2019 at 11:51 pm #879376Thank you all for the input. Mark Carder and Andrew Tischler was on my radar but didn’t know the rest.
You tube has so much info that it is like a minefield. Sorting through what is available, is extremely hard and time consuming. So, thanks again.
C&C always welcome

September 23, 2019 at 6:52 pm #879375Jos Van Riswick’s oil painting videos are mesmerizing, though there’s little commentary. Just watching him paint plain eggs or fruit in a bowl…

September 25, 2019 at 10:57 pm #879378(There’s already a big thread addressing this “Who’s Great on Youtube?” thing in the past couple of months.)
Have you tried any one that you were impressed?
Most of these painters mentioned are pretty good at what they do, which generally isn’t of any actual artistic merit. So much ability, so little imagination.
James Michael Smith is great for meticulously done hack landscapes. He doesn’t hide anything and seems generally well-intentioned. He has his production routines truly perfected. Man, he can really turn paintings out! When he gets done blocking, it looks almost finished — no fooling around. Nice videos, too.
Something bothered me about his work though, and I couldn’t figure out what it was until I realized that all of the foliage in his trees looks like wild hops or kudzu. Nobody else seems to have noticed. [shrug]
Great color, though, for what it is.
Did it help with your progress, and which way?
Unfortunately, no.
It’s been an almost perfect waste of time, money, energy and patience.
I am stuck exactly where I started fourteen (14) months ago, only with about a grand’s worth of unused Art supplies.

I really like Michael Chamberlain and MrPicment vids.

A few minutes a day of literary nuances doesnt constitute a plethora of visual online drivel. Get your wading boots on!
If you get a buzz out of them go for it. Some people enjoy demonstrations but just for the sake of it.

:confused: not sure why the inflamed response.
My comment was in perfect agreement with your comment that I quoted, any type of media could be misguided, or overdone, such as books, videos, classes, social media, Facebook, Twitter, whatev’s. -
