Craig Nelson shows you how to paint oil by explaining lighting, painting surface preparation, and color decisions. Craig Nelson's approach in this DVD workshop is logical as he starts with a ghost drawing, then blocks in shapes and finishes with details. You don't just see how Nelson paints, you will understand why he paints.

  • Your brush strokes are so...iuno...fantastic. I mean...when I start trying to paint I'm sitting there all hesitant about starting, cuz I don't wanna mess up, but your brush strokes...the movement of your hands is so smooth, so confident. I'm 16 years old. My artistic skill has always been advanced for my age, and I really hope to get to this level. Ypu're really really good.

  • @1DasOmen Craig always tells us that the way to get this good is to keep painting regularly. He calls it racking up "brush miles," and it's one reason he teaches the Quick Studies method. Keep it up!

  • i like ur brush strokes,..hmm..!!!

  • @1DasOmen I can only try to encourage you. Confidence comes from practice, taking yourself to new levels comes with practice...and learning from one's mistakes. In other words, make mistakes. See what's wrong, see what's right, and take steps to get better. Don't be afraid to louse things up---AND DON'T BE AFRAID TO CORRECT THEM! Sounds simple minded, but it isn't. Good luck!

  • @mobiloheeh it's good enough to be understandable, and when it's not your first language, that's really all that counts :)

  • Que gran tecnica, gracias por compartirlo
