If you look beyond the overzealous push to get your email address, some of the articles on this website have a fair bit to offer as far as understanding some of the concepts that pertain specifically to painting (whereas drawabox is more about drawing, though there's lots of overlap). I've only had the time to skim through them, but I'm confident that it's definitely worth a read through.

The subjects they cover are about painting in general, with plenty of examples pulled from the old masters - that is, not specific to different paint media, but conceptual things that can be applied to both traditional and digital media.

Is there any examples works or portfolio of the blog's owner ? I like to "consider the source" before taking advice, especially when it comes to art instruction.

That's a perfectly reasonable requeat, and definitely something everyone should do before taking advice. I did some hunting and found his artstation account: https://www.artstation.com/artist/hai

Ironically enough, his drawing fundamentals are sorely lacking, but his sense of colour and composition is pretty good - luckily those are the points his articles focus on, so I believe it's still worth reading what he's written.
