I'm not in that demographic, and I'm a nerd hacker type, so I look at this and go "pfft. nothing's magic." Then I go look up the artist and if I like the art, I get the video just because I like watching people paint. I think maybe 2-3 videos were packed with useful things, but
90% of the time, what the painter *says* is completely different from what they *do*. They are completely lacking in self-awareness so you mostly have to ignore what they say and just watch them work and take notes or follow along. Guitarists are like this too.
I had a teacher who would quite literally yell at people not to "blend". In classical realism "blending" or "smudging" is a huge NO, so we had to struggle using a brush to put down color and merge the edges without blending them with a softer brush. Turns out...
This teacher did that shit all the time. She never demonstrated in class when she painted, but she sold videos. In class you'd miss her quickly blending an edge because she was quick about it, but in the video...GOTCHA! In the video like 50% of her brush work was blending.
Then I got videos from other famous painters and they all blended like mad, and about 50% of them would rant about blending, which I didn't understand because it's obvious old masters blended the fuck out of their paintings--aka "licking".
So, after that experience I realized that you just ignore musicians and painters when they tell you what they do. They're basically shallow people who have no idea what they're doing and are mostly just lucky. You have to watch them work and copy what they actually do.
