Hey Everyone!

I am in the process of building a new tier that would include videos like this. 

Whenever a new tutorial is posted there would be a separate post with a prep video for those who want to try the painting on their own first. 

The full tutorial video for this painting will be out tomorrow. 

In the meantime let me know if you would like prep videos like this. 

Now go get painting!

A little late to the party but I just watched this and it’s SO helpful. I have tried a few of your reference photos without the tutorial and have had to scrap it and follow you 😂 Excited to try this by myself first! Thank you Chris!

Janet Healey

YES! Very helpful…. Thanks

Kathleen DeHart

I think a prep video like this could be really helpful. It gives your thinking behind what you are doing along with the demonstrations on how to see values and the approach your taking. Your’e a very good teacher and coach, I think its great to introduce to ways to practice. Thank you!

Really great idea. Sometimes I find myself relying too much on the finished painting and not exploring on my own. This is a perfect way for me to continue to develop my own style.

Brian Stoffer

Absolutely. Hearing/seeing you explain your thinking and approach, with suggestions and tips is huge. You've already made me a better painter, many times over. Analysis like this is invaluable.

Cecilia Nuyianes

yes. this info is helpful to teach me to see more

Will Pearson

This is a great idea. I get a lot out of hearing you think through your plan for painting. Btw, what program are you using to pick colors, etc.?

George Dalton

Chris, def. more videos like this!

Dianna Ford

yes ,it does help, on the values and seeing the shapes . very well explained on your approach on the lights and darks, and seeing the reflected light, thank you for taking the time to explain.

Valerie

Wonderful and helpful!

Kim McLawhorn

Very helpful - looking forward to the new tier!

Tine

Love this honestly. This is a great idea, helps so much!

stephanie elkind

Yes, very helpful and I like having the opportunity to go at the painting with your thought process but really have to make it my own. I have been relying on your instruction more than I should sometimes.

Adaline

Yes Chris!! Videos like this are so helpful and trains us to think about the process without relying on making every stroke or even mixing colors the exact way you do !!! Thank you so much Chris !!

Nathalie Thee

Thank you very much! This is a nice idea and really helpful :)

Nicolette Johnson

I would love having this tier! It's really helpful to see your thought process before starting a painting.

J Rothermel

I love the idea of the prep video.

Alyce Scricco

This is a great idea! Perfect combination of highlighting certain areas for us to have a plan, but also encouraging us to develop the techniques independently to create the best results.

Hunter Applegate

Really enjoy this process. It shows me what i should be thinking before i even start. Thanks!

donna todd

This is a great idea! It explains the thinking behind the choices you will need to make.

Cem Item

Great idea. Keep on doing it.

Diane Fleming

video preps to me would be useful when you explain your composition choices in regards to landscapes and still life.
