As a student whom actually went through blocks 1-4 I can say this program does work. This is an excellent video that gives you a really good idea of how the teaching and methods work for this program. I had a hard time deciding at first if evolve was worth my time, coming from 20+ years of previous experience. Even so, it proved well worth it and filled in many gaps for me and also allowed me to integrate the teaching into what I do after I completed block 4. I am now working my way through the advanced program. This video would have been very helpful a year ago when I joined, in helping me decide and understand evolve better. I’m glad to see it here now, and hope it can help anyone else considering this program to decide if it is right for them.

@mashae2382 2 года назад

The systematic nature of how this program teaches really works with how my planning brain thinks. This is a very approximate way to say it but I have explained why Evolve Artist appeals to me by saying that I think/work best in spreadsheets & protocols & this program feels similar.

@evolveartist 2 года назад

That's awesome to hear! Yes we take a very methodical approach to learning art and give our students a very clear and even rigid process to start, like having training wheels. One simple step at a time. Our vision here is that our students "learn the rules like a pro," in the words of Picasso. Once they learn the "rules," the world of art opens up to them to freely create art without any limitations 😁~ Daniel

@linewise215 2 года назад

Appreciate the close-ups. Very helpful. As a beginner it's not easy to know how much paint should be on the brush.

@evolveartist 2 года назад

Thank you 😊 It can take some time to figure out, since it is not a mathematical formula. Pulling away from the pile, creating a flat area of paint, and keeping the paint only on the top half of the brush will hopefully help you find that optimal amount. One of the things that I didn't show very often in my video was how often I went back for more paint. But you can see in the squares exercise 3:02 how I went back for more paint after covering a very tiny area (and I continued to do that throughout the exercises) ~ Daniel

I’d like to take the program now, but I can’t afford to it right away. So I’m working with what I have and using the evolve videos to practice. Simplifying my approach by focusing on these classes as I build my supplies has already helped. My blending has gone from horrible to almost okay. 😂

@BlackKaweah Год назад

This is a great video. I will try these exercises. I am an absolute beginner with no background beyond what the incredible Mrs. K. taught us back in middle school. The structured approach seems great. However, since I have no intention of becoming a professional and am now retired the cost of the entire program is prohibitive. If there was a way to take just Block 1, for example, or skip the expensive paints and supplies, that would be good.

@evolveartist Год назад

Hey Gary, this is good feedback for us. We currently don’t have Block 1 available by itself, because we view it as the launchpad for the results we’re really aiming for with our students, which comes together in Block 4. We do have payment plans available, however, and we are currently working on a more customizable payment plan - so stay tuned for that when it rolls out on our website. bit.ly/go-evolve Thanks again Gary 🙂 ~ Daniel

You have caught my attention Paying heed to light shadow and gradients is a good tool to have this applies to life drawing and copying from reference as well as invented designs and compositions although in this case it's necessary to have some understanding of anatomy perspective and form.

Brilliant video! From describing the fundamentals of painting to learning to read/write to presenting such basic skills as how to use a palette knife (how does anyone learn to do that?, this course appears pretty fool-proof. One question, do you teach a method to clean brushes after use/at the end of a painting session?

@evolveartist Год назад

Hey Cynthia, I understand. While we do everything we can to make the Evolve program as affordable as possible, a lot goes into supporting our team of instructors to ensure our students get constructive feedback on each of their painting assignments, access to 1-1 meetings, live classes, video chat painting sessions, etc., not to mention the high quality supplies that come included. While these expenses do affect the price of our program, we are confident that the value of them far outstrips the cost, so that we can be a comprehensive education that truly delivers on our promise. Hopefully things open up for you soon. In the meantime I really hope that these videos on our RU-vid channel and the training videos are super helpful for you and of course, let me know if you have any questions 🙂 ~ Daniel

@je4nette 2 года назад

I'm a total beginner, so I'm just curious: why Mars Black? Does the type of black color matter, or can I just use Ivory black or lamp black instead.

@evolveartist 2 года назад

Good question! You can use any black as long as it is an opaque. It does not even need to be black, it only needs to be really dark, because the color does not matter - the values do. We use Mars Black in our color palette so that’s what I had on hand 😊 ~ Daniel

@fiterflite 2 года назад

What about solvent? I have mini tunes of oil paint that was gifted to me, idk if I need to ventilate to use them and if I need thinner or anything? They are cheap paints.

@evolveartist 2 года назад

Hey 😊good questions! Whether you need thinner really depends on what paint you are using, but as a guess I would recommend that you do not use any solvents or thinners to start. One less thing to worry about 😊 I was working with Old Holland paint (super high quality and very dense compared to most other brands) and while I did not NEED to use thinner, I did thin my paint piles down with just a few drops of linseed oil to make it a little easier and faster to paint. But if I was working with other reputable quality brands like Winsor & Newton, I would not have used a thinner. Thin paint can actually make it harder to make gradients. Now most cheap paints have fillers in them anyways, and adding paint thinner to them can make them harder to cover. This is one of the many reasons why I recommended using high quality paint - you can go cheap with some things, even brushes, but cheap paint can really get in the way of fun and of learning. Now, on the note of ventilation, which really depends on how toxic the materials you are using are. If you are not working with toxic material, your room does not need to be ventilated any more than any livable room ought to be. You can avoid toxic solvents like mineral spirits and turpentine to use cold pressed linseed oil to thin your paint instead. The next question is how toxic your paints are. Most oil paints are not toxic, including cheap paint. You might be able to look up the brand / pigments to see if they are toxic just to be sure. Let me know if that answers your questions! 😊~ Daniel

Hi I ‘m an Iranian woman yeatersay I found your youtube channel I wanted to start crying because I ‘m going to painting classes for about 4 years but I didn’t learn anything because my teachers started teaching me from a complete for example vase or landscape I need description and it should be step by step but they expect me to look at their hands and learn. Of course it was my fault too because I went to my classes maybe 2 or 3 months every year and I didn’t ask anything there were many students who learned very well too. I want to star from the beginning but I can’t join evolve because my country is sanctioned but I want to start and learn with your youtube videos. I ‘ve watched this video it was awsome which one of videos should I watch next? Are the videos sequential in your channel? Or can you help me more than youtube channels?

@pauljohnson8667 Год назад

Aslo sent an email. I worry about courses like this. Tried taking a drawing class from the teaching company when I started two years ago, felt like I was becoming a draftsman or architect and I was horrible at it. I can see when perspective is wrong, yet struggle to create it correctly. So I'm doing landscapes. Even there, how to create depth of field is a struggle. Thoughts on this working for me?

@evolveartist Год назад

Hey Paul, for depth of field I recommend watching this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9j38oZvbkr8.html As for drawing, we teach in a way that doesn’t use perspective but instead measures based on proportions - the result can yield a drawing with perspective but our process is much easier than trying to manage all the “lines of perspective.” You can watch our overall teaching approach on drawing here: How to Train Your Eyes to See like an Artist ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-diwD3ykRs74.html ~ Daniel

Hi ..How are you sir

@Isaac_k7 2 года назад

Daniel, can a person finish your curriculum I half a year when he's paying for only 6 months

@evolveartist 2 года назад

Here’s how payment works. There are two options: 1) you pay all up front or 2) you pay through a 12 month payment plan (like a phone payment plan). Either way, when you join you have access for life and you can go through the curriculum at your own pace and your pace does not change the payment. For example, if you did the payment plan and finished the curriculum in 6 months, you would still pay the remaining 6 months. On the flip side, if you did the payment plan and are only halfway through the curriculum at the end of 12 months, you would still be in the program but you would no longer be paying.

Higher quality brands smell less, because there are less smelly fillers in them. Also, the vast majority of oil paint is not toxic and safe to use.
