So I have been asked a lot by my students how to handle complex subjects. When you have to paint something with a ton of shapes and color and value shifts what do you do? That's what I answer in this video on how to paint flowers. I break down my process of painting a complex subject such as flowers.

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.
