When working with my. students who struggle getting use to oil paint I have found it helpful to strip things down as much as possible. A great exercise is to paint a simple subject like a still life with just one color and no medium. I did this exercise and filmed it for my Patreon followers but now I am releasing it to the public to show what my Patreon demos are like. 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.
