In this video I go over what I think are the most important things to be aware of while painting trees. I do this through a full tree sketch demonstration.

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.

One of the best oil painting teachers on YT.

@00vTv00 Год назад

Could not ask for a more clear and concise expert to explain the subtlety of oil painting technique. This master learned by doing, so he knows all the mistakes already, he can save you years of time, tune in and get going.

@shirleyfargo455 Год назад

I would love to see a demo on a forest of pine trees in the mid ground and another behind in the background. Your videos are always helpful.

I love your painting style. It looks so laid back and simple but it has such an amazing effect

@marcyperrier7030 4 года назад

Great idea to paint basic shapes in a mid tone....then go for lights and darks. Nice lesson. Thank you.

Being a Floridian, I paint a lot of Sabal palms which still seems to be a challenge after a lot of years. I would love to see your take on how to paint them.

@TakomaChris 2 года назад

That was so unbelievably helpful - I really learned a lot - it’s an area I’ve struggled with because I didn’t follow this sequence of steps. Like the eye squint suggestion.

@jilakarimian3723 3 года назад

Thank you , you are a great teacher, since I subscribed, watching all your videos. I learned a lot, this was helpful to paint a tree , waiting to see more videos from you. Hope teach about painting palm trees and bushes too.

I just discovered you a day ago, and I have watched almost every video, and subscribed. You are a great teacher and I really appreciate the info. I struggle with trees, and I think this will be very helpful. I paint with acrylics but want to try oils, but I think your tips will be helpful with acrylics as well. Thanks!

This was great. I am trying my best to get fall colored trees down. Its tough. I think I've got some good things going on but it seems more like luck and just going back in with greens to make the leaves pop out better. I'd love to see a tutorial for fall colors in trees. I'm going to get on the patreon so I can post my current attempt in there for comments

When I mix a bit of oil into a part of finishing work it drys differently. Will that eventually go away? I’m concerned

@Polarbearvr08 2 года назад

How do I fix a messed up tree? I tried to paint a tree over another tree and it’s all muddy now!!! Help!

@nemo9396 3 года назад

I think what you failed to do is to explain how the form of the tree is structured. Looking at the picture I can see there is the topmost part of the canopy casting a shadow over the lower right part of the canopy. There are parts coming out and others going into the background. These are important when drawing trees because when looking at such a complex shape, it is difficult for the brain to make sense of it. This is the biggest hurdle with drawing trees I think, not quite the "technique" or the "process."

@adisadis6313 3 года назад

You don't let time to dry among layers?.. isn't get it " mud"?

@mag2094 3 года назад

He starts with thin layers and slowly makes the paint thicker which makes it easier to lay paint on the thinner layers without it getting really muddy

@waclawpietucha7427 3 года назад

I have a problem with the stench of green color paints. No matter whether I get it from mixing primaries or from premade greens. Is there any solution to make the smell more tolerable?

@mag2094 3 года назад

I have not used my oil paints yet but since you don’t like the smell of the paints maybe you can try out water mixable oil paints. I have also heard from him you can use regular oils and water mixable ones together.

Hi Chris - thank you for the tidbit that the tree is darkest, sky lightest and ground is mid value. Never considered that before

@buttercup558 3 года назад

I would Love to see you do more about painting trees! Especially how you address painting them in different places in a landscape.

@christinemain6643 4 года назад

I’m new to oil painting. I’m at the stage that I’m letting each layer dry before applying the next layer. I notice that you’re painting wet on wet in this video. Are you also mixing a little medium with your paint?? Thanks.

@Cbozflorida Год назад

I know this is an old video but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you speaking your thought process as you go. That Is very helpful to me.

@marshbunny1 2 года назад

I have only painted in acrylics before now, but was not satisfied with the results when I tried landscapes or portraits. I like your videos because I am forced to see things in a completely new way. Some things carry over, but Oils is a much different discipline from Acrylics. You are not only a talented artist, but also a good teacher. Thank you!

@janjamesramos247 2 года назад

I wonder if this process also applies with acrylic painting.

@TheCatnipCinema 2 года назад

Not 100% the same, but similar. Acrylic dries extremely fast while oli paint takes a week+ to dry. Burnt sienna is dry in a day and white is dry in two weeks. But average is a week for most colors. And this makes the paint constantly workable as you're painting which does affect the process to a degree. Oil can be pushed and pulled and blended in seconds when you put the brush down again. The general points he's making still hold true but the way its applied is completely different. Also, the way he's working big to small is not as common in acrylic painting.

@lindaburton1633 3 года назад
