    To anyone on the fence about purchasing one of Chris's courses, or joining his Patreon page, DO IT!! You will not regret it. I've learned and progressed so much since December. I am so glad I found your content, Chris! Thank you!
  • If you're a beginner especially, Chris sets you up to think about painting in a way that will help you succeed. Cuts out all the minutia of painting and gets straight to what actually makes a painting work. I'm only in my first year of painting, I can't imagine I would be where I am now without Coach lol.
  • Your paintings are always full of surprises and freshness, and every time you see them, they are eye-catching. Your structural paintings have achieved a high level of skill, detail, creativity, and emotional expression.
  • Thanks for the content Paint Coach! Wishing you all the best and hoping you and all your loved ones are all doing exceedingly and abundantly well! 🖤🙏🏽💐
  • So literaly, its like a watercolor....its starts with big shapes......awesome.....
  • This was great. I ve just got brave enough to try portraits. Skin tones were always a mystery. And then the shaded tones. I m encouraged.
  • I hope this isn't a ridiculous, embarrassing question 🫣: black paint? I rarely see anyone use black; they always mix a really dark blackish color instead. Can you share a little about that choice? I really enjoyed watching your process here!! So sweet that you painted your older brother🥰 He's so handsome. And the stories along the way 😂 That's what portrait painting is all about👌 Thanks for sharing your expertise!!

    Fabulous Chris - thank you so much for this great content.
  • @aneesha3826
    Sir please make a 30 munities painting tutorial of flowers painting. Thank you so much for this tutorials, this is very helpful.
  • @AnalisiaLuque
    I love your videos they have helped me so much with progressing with my paintings and are great for people who can’t afford to spend money on classes and i was wondering if you could do a tutorial on glazing over an underpainting
  • @maryhough8041
    Hey Chris! I love your content, it’s helped me a bunch on my oil painting process. I have a few suggestions, one of them being a color mixing tutorial, I know you’ve already done one but you were sick with a cold, and sickly noises kinda make it hard to watch (not a fault of your own of course) And then maybe do a tutorial on different lighting scenarios. Like lighting from within a living room on a gloomy day, or one window letting light into a dimly lit hallway. I’d love to see your takes!
  • Are you familiar with Alex Tzavaras from SIMPLIFY DRAWING AND PAINTING (youtube channel)? He also does Alla Prima work.
  • Your brother would be happy to see this painting 😅😂. It turned out really great ❤
  • Veryinteresting - I always like your "Go get painting!" - it sounds like a personal instruction, with an air of menace.... as I may well have said before, I repeat myself.... Were you using pure Turps all the way through, or was that a mix of oil and Turps?
  • @emyerson
    Fornataro pitched in the Mets' minor league system too! Your family is so dang cool.
  • Hello M. Fornataro, thanks for the great videos. Question: i see in most videos that you have a small container filled with thinner and most of the time opened. Did you ever get issues with that ? headache, sore throat....asking because i started doing that in a ventilated room and i have a sore throat.
