This was so comforting to watch and hear. To walk into an art shop can be a sensory overload, and when I was younger I thought I always needed more than I did. I hope people of any age can watch this and realize that they don't have to spend a fortune on everything. Thank you always for sharing your talent, Love, and passion with us!

Dear lord thank you for not wasting time! I feel like I learned some things without being bombarded by paid promotions or sifting/ sitting through 13 minutes of content.

I have just started painting again after about 25 years. You have tremendously helped me with my art through your videos. I am more motivated than ever before. Thank you for your superior art work.

I don’t do art myself but it’s fascinating to see what you use to make your masterpieces.

I always find choosing what brush to use one of the hardest decisions to make when starting to paint. Watching this video, has made it easier for me to make up my mind. Thanks Chuck!

Not ashamed to say that I've bought a lot brushes because of your recommendations. Never been disappointed! ONE REQUEST!!! Please make more sunset dominate full length tutorials, even if it's on your membership channel. Your skies are BANANAS!!! No other artist on youtube compares. If I could learn to do them half as good i'd be ecstatic!!! I love your long videos and always learn something. So dang Chuck please make some long tutorials of those beautiful sunset and skies!!!! 🙏

Thanks for sharing your favorite paint brushes

I love how generous you are with your knowlege and experience. So much info. I love your videos

I discovered the dagger brush very recently… boy, I can’t miss it anymore. I’m addicted… love it for fine corner work. Magical!

It's nice that you share your trail and errors with everyone! Many people would keep it a secret!! As photographers and painters, everyone see's the same scene differently and interprets differently!

Thank you! Not only do we get brush recommendations, but technique tips at the same time. Excellent!

I love using the company Princeton brushes and I love all of these recommendations l will definitely try them

Thank you for your help and information ✨

I've bought tons of stuff that you have recommended. I've followed you for I do believe nearly a year on Instagram and on the email just as long. Anytime you post a new painting on Instagram I run to show my dad, he is down in his age and your paintings bring back so many memories of when he used to be able to go hunting or go out and take photos. I want to thank you for bringing those memories back to my dad and helping him smile.

I have purchased brushes you recommend and have improved my paintings. I really like the way you SHOW with paint HOW to use the brush. Very informative. Thanks again for your generosity in teaching.

I’m so glad you showed how both oil and acrylic handle

Your recommendation had me hunting for the dagger striper. MAN do I LOVE this brush! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences!

Your art makes me feel so calm.

I have honestly never heard of a dagger brush, and now I think I need to go find one. I love how you showed up some great examples of blending with both acrylic and oil for each brush instead of just telling us what it does and showing one type of paint. I also want to say that I've followed your work for the past 6 years, and it's been amazing to watch your artwork change a little and kind of improve over the years.

I used to paint when I was younger and I have bought my share of brushes through the years. Thank you for the information in this video. You are an inspiring and very talented, young man and because of you I have began to sketch and paint again. it is a calming and rewarding endeavour.

I appreciate all the advice I have received from your videos, from brushes to paint and the best how to advice on landscapes. Thank you for sharing!!!

I've only been painting (with acrylics) for three years, but your videos have been so helpful. I've learnt so much from watching. I have to say the dagger brush is by far my favorite. Thanks so much for sharing your journey.

I was impressed with the explanations but seeing your art at the end really sold the fact you know what you’re talking about!

Hi Chuck, Many thanks, good to see your safe and heathy. The video was most helpful, so thanks for taking the time for us to learn. Bill (NZ)

the dagger brush gradients look cool and then the brush effects with just a few strokes makes blues look so 3D

Its been awhile since i have painted but you make it look great with your brush techniques. I will save this video as it is one of the most informative on each brush type. Love your work.

Thank you, Chuck. I have Learned so much from your videos. More importantly, perhaps, you consistently inspire me to persist in perfecting my work. PS, my favorite brush, which I’d not known of until watching one of your tutorials, is the dagger brush. Again, thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I own several daggers and love them! I wish I could see the country side you two are travelling through! Wonderful. I am hunkering down in Germany and will wait until the virus is gone before I return. Happy painting.

Thanks for sharing Chuck. I loved it when you mentioned Bob Ross 😄

Great video....I did buy dagger brushes you have shown ....love them...thanks and good job

I wish I had found your tutorials when I started painting in July. You would not believe how many brushes I have bought that were not useful to me. I have kept them all and will play around with them as I progress with my journey. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and friends.

Thank you for sharing the brushes you use to make your amazing creations!

I've learned alot about brushes and their usages. Thank you.

My fave painting video I've seen yet!! Thank you!!!!

Excellent video. So relaxing and informative!

Wonderful compendium of mark making. I need to get a dagger striper!

Love these brushes. My favourites were bought at your suggestion

Another impressive and helpful video. Thanks Chuck !

thank you for the brush lessons i am pretty lost on what brush to use and what the brushes are capable of. For me it is all trial and error i have a ton of different brushes but i find myself using probably only 4 or 5 of them. Chuck i love your work and seeing the places that you get to see in your travels

Thanks a lot Mr Black 🙏 You're my favorite artist ever!!!

Hi Chuck, thank you for passing on your expertise & helping people to express their thoughts & feelings in their art, 7 I wish you & Erica a wonderful & healthy time this coming Xmas. Keep well all,

Thank you so much for yet another informative video! 💚 I look forward to seeing everything you create, from your paintings to your videos and everything in between.

Thanks for sharing your brushes, it helps a lot. Have a wonderful holiday weekend

Thank you! I was just looking at my brushes and wondering if I could do without some of my 300...🤣 I do love my round blenders and dagger, which I didn't even know about until you mentioned them! I love your work!

Im always looking for more brushes. thanks for the info. your latest pictures and painting are Amazing. thanks for sharing

Wow! I really learned a lot from this vid. Thank you Chuck for another informative presentation.

Wow! This just “brushed” me the right way! I learned so much. Thanks, Chuck! Kathy

Thanks for sharing.............. waiting for your next painting

Thanks Chuck, awesome little tutorial.

finally ready to start one of your videos. Wish me luck I'm going to need it

Once again very informative...you never let us down. I use a lot of the brushes you recommended from your last brush video. I am terrible with a liner brush so I can’t wait to find a dagger stripper...hopeful it will help. Thank you so much for your videos...I wish I had a fraction of your talent.

GREAT INFO....MUCH APPRECIATED. YOUR WORK IS FABULOUS, I ENJOY ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND PICS. MANY THANKS. BEST WISHES FOR A SUPER 2021 !

Thank you so much for this information, if I ever try out acrylics I'll keep this in mind :)

Great brush recommendations and demonstration of what each brush can do. Think I have most of these brushes but now have a better idea of how to make better use of them.

Glad someone finally talks about the dagger. Many seasoned painters are like "no clue what this is for" XD

your videos are so inspiring! thank you for sharing your creativity with the world!

Just getting into painting so this was a really useful video, thanks!

Chuck, as with your paintings your tutorials are always full of significant detail. Very much appreciated. Love your work and all that you do to assist us in our artistic endeavors! :)

I've been looking for some new brushes.... appears I have found yours at a good time.... I'm always on the lookout for great liner brushes (seems I never have enough of those). I really like the looks of the length of the bristles and signing my name has always been an issue for me..... I believe yours just might solve that problem for me....... I've saved this video as it is one I will come back and watch again and again to see what I might be doing wrong with my brushes. Thank you so much for this very helpful tool.

Thank you very much for this lesson !

Hey Chuck, thank you for the video.

Afterwatching I'm subscribing to your channel the way you teach things are incredible 😁

Love the synthetic Princeton 'brights'. A long wearing brush at a great price.

Great info Chuck! I use all of them...except the fan brushes. Never been a fan of a fan brush😉 To me, they make trees look like a crop of oversized ferns pole dancing😂 The Dagger is a phenomenal brush! You can actually do calligraphy with them. All the demonstrations were super-good! Thanks for sharing this!

Your videos are truly invaluable, and this video is a must watch just for sheer information value alone. Awesome! Thank you so much! :)

Thanks for the tutorial about brushes! So helpful!

Very informative.very helpful. This is a keeper
