For me I'm at the just starting stage of painting so I watch and try a lot of basics though not to a success yet lol

Chris Fornataro

Just keep practicing! It will come. I will develop some more simple basic tutorials

I would love landscape with water. Like a river or lake. And also a seascape beach. Maybe with people walking on the beach.

Hey Chris, thanks so much for your videos. I specifically like your paint talk series. In the videos you post you list the type of paint you suggest for beginners. Do you suggest different, higher quality materials for commissions? If so, what are some of your favorite canvases and Paints.

Chris Fornataro

Hey! I don't think it's necessary to use higher quality paints for commissions. I only suggest using higher quality supplies when you feel it's necessary to achieve what you want in your work. Some of my favorite paints are Winsor and Newton and a step up from that is Gamblin. As far as painting surfaces go my favorite is linen. There is oil primed and acrylic primed. I like oil primed but I honestly buy which ever one is on sale. I use Centurion linen panels ALOT. I get them from Jerrys Artarama online. They always have the best deals. https://www.jerrysartarama.com/centurion-deluxe-oil-primed-linen-panels

I just signed up, and live the content you’ve posted to date. Our favorite vacation was spent in Siesta Key / Sarasota, FL ages ago, so I love your beach and water scenes from that area. I also love the in-depth process for painting portions of faces, hands, etc. Very impressed with your content. Thank you!

How to fix a mistake. Value correcting, when to just wipe it off and start fresh. And how do you use a tiny brush with thick paint and not make a mess?

I’m open to all subjects landscape especially … want to narrow my pallet and go w my hubby to mountains to paint… funny I still like everything like people sitting outside cafes… beautiful European scenes but I just need to calm myself … do my front yard and make sure it’s good composition and values lol thx for these I’m starting your course finally!!!

Hi Chris, I really liked this little behind the scene video. I am very new to painting, I’m about 1 year in. I chose you to follow because this year I’d like to begin moving away from totally relying on tracings and venture towards painting from scratch. I prefer portrait painting right now. I’m simply amazed at the beauty and the differences of facial features and skin tones. So what I’d like to see more of is paint mixing skin tones, how to mix paints properly, and how and when to use different mediums. Thank you.

Maybe sometime you could do a some tutorials on ways to paint water, reflections in water, moving water like rivers... I seem to often want to paint the effect of light on water but it can be tricky....
