How to Layer Oil Paint Right

In this video I use a chart to demonstrate how the thickness of my paint changes through a painting. I discuss when I use paint thinner, linseed oil, and nothing at all. I find this is a common problem for beginners. They start their painting off way to thick and have no room to build up the paint. Now this lesson is mainly geared toward working wet into wet or alla prima. Hope you enjoy!

Hi, I am the son of two artists and began painting in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia before I could walk. I was a rare combination of artist and athlete so I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to play football for USC. I left the team my sophomore year to focus on painting and filmmaking, applying the same focus and discipline from my football career to my art. I primarily work in oils, and spend most free days painting "en plein air" in my new home of Sarasota Florida.
