Post your favorite / least favorite painting resources, your reviews of them.

Not line drawing, but anything about values and color.

Things I know about:
>Richard Schmid
>Harold Speed
>Andrew Loomis
>various schoolism lectures
>Med's Map

What resources were most helpful for you? Which ones did you not like? Post some studies that you did, following those courses too, if you'd like.

OH yeah, I forgot about him. I love his stuff, though I have been slacking on my figure practice. I need to get back to watching him
>>
Some more obvious ones are:

Marco Bucci

Trad:
Paint Coach
Chelsea Lang
Stephen Bauman

If you want to paint beyond 'rendering line drawings', I suggest you take the lightpill and learn from trad methods. Can post more later if you want to go deeper in that direction.

>Can post more later if you want to go deeper in that direction.
definitely do, please

I've been interested in traditional painting too. If there's anything like "secret knowledge" in art, it's gotta be in the books of the past masters. I've been specifically looking at Richard Schmid and Harold Speed stuff, along with Arthur Guptill's books and whatever other old, "traditional" books I can find. I don't have a lot of extra money to spend on art material though, so I've been doing it all digitally. Still, it's a struggle, and I'm constantly just looking to hear new perspectives from different artists on how to learn

I meant to add Sinix and Craig Mullins to the more obvious ones, also Tiffanie Mang since OP asked about color:

Here's the most useful stuff I've dug through over the past ~6 months, vaguely in recommended order of watching but you'll want to go back and forth to see where you're heading. A lot of these are based on portraits and still life but you'll eventually learn the subject doesn't matter (portraits, figure, still life, your own original illustrations).

Morro (Digital painting)
- I would consider Morro as a bridge between Bucci and Mullins.

Also, if you want to take this pill sooner:
>you'll eventually learn the subject doesn't matter
and
>If there's anything like "secret knowledge" in art, it's gotta be in the books of the past masters. I've been specifically looking at Richard Schmid and Harold Speed stuff, along with Arthur Guptill's books and whatever other old, "traditional" books I can find.

I strongly recommend you check out the following lectures:

thank you so so much again. I search for these things over and over again on youtube, but the algorithm keeps spitting out the same videos for me, and it's hard to find obscure gems such as these things. Thank you

Shame on everybody here

How do you study his books? I've read them, but he doesn't tell you how to practice or apply that knowledge.
>>
which of these do you need to sell paintings?
