Thomas Jefferson Kitts “Sargent - Techniques of a Master” **FREE OIL LESSON VIEWING**

- Опубликовано: 5 дек 2024
- Thomas Jefferson Kitts has been on a lifelong quest to understand how John Singer Sargent painted. Was Sargent slow and deliberate, or fast and reckless?
After intense study, Kitts believes he’s found the answers artists have been searching for. We asked him to capture these techniques on video for all to discover.
A gift from Streamline Publishing, publishers of Fine Art Connoisseur and Plein Air Magazines, and newsletters Fine Art Today, Plein Air Today, Realism Today and American Watercolor.

It is such a valuable experience to watch an artist of your caliber step through the process so carefully and explain your thoughts so generously. Thank you.
I studied Sargent's technique for years. There will never be another Sargent.
Thank you, Mr. Kitts, for doing such a thorough demonstration. I enjoyed learning more about JSS methods and appreciate the time and effort you have expended in studying him for years. Thank you.
Thanks Streamline & Thomas Kitts for the great lesson. I have this dvd and I appreciate that we see the entire process, not an abridged version. The demonstration, discussion and camera work are first rate.
This channel is fantastic. Thank you mr Rhoads.
Thank you for sharing, I do appreciate it very much. Learning About this great Artist is always enjoyable.

Thomas Jefferson Kits
Pam Highfill from Dallas Thank you for all you do
excellent, thank you.
I’m learning more today on technique and style like Glaude Monet
The French rejection was one thing- pure JEALOUSY
This is great. Really useful video. Although kept looking at that grid/position and saying "Isn't the basket way too high?"
Very informative
I'm clicking all over the place! How can I actually buy this DVD?!
How does the monitor work?
Streamline, you should try get Jamie Coreth from England to do a demo on Sargents work. Coreth can paint like Sargent
Omg he actually does! Thank you for introducing me a wonderful artist! 🙏
High quality painting for sure, but a bit more realism in his color and values than Sargent. More like our modern academic schools, but I do see the similarity.
Just FYI, that large tube of Gamblin Cobalt Violet costs around $75.00.
This is great
his students never mentioned that medium but now it is fashionable. You don't need to do much research on your brushes because photos have been around for a long time. Her secret was in the optics and in her mind. Real turpentine makes a big difference with oms .... that is very important but now again the fashionable product. Me encantan todos estos vídeos pero este es demasiado para mí. perdón por mi inglés tan malo.
Yes the diffifference twixt real turps and mineral spirits is the difference twixt night and day.I use mineral spirits as a preliminary brush cleaner. Turps is best to mix in the paint. Odorless mineral spirits is just that, odorless, but the lack of odor does not keep it from filling a room with very harmful hydrocarbons.
Oderless does not mean no fumes!
I like your work a lot
Thanck you master!
Artist with limited palette- I have only 10 tubes of limited palette.😌😌
Thomas Jefferson Kitts- Am i a joke to you.😤😤
😜😜😝😝😝🤣🤣
Excellent content.... but just must point out that what you are holding at 19.12 is not a rigger... a rigger has extra long hairs and was/is used to paint straight or fluid curves, lines as found in paintings of ships ‘rigging’, hence the name... that brush is a ‘round’ or if large in size can be referred to as a ‘sash’ brush though that is more usually a decorators term. Not being picky or critical, just thought you should know....
He said “they” would have called it a rigger, he called it a round
@@Julia29853Whatever…
I worry that an artist has to stay in one genre, medium or technique. But, not. Creativity is a blend of whatever you want to do!
i buy used sheets from thrift stores and cut them into small wipes
Gamblin manufactures a safe version of megilp.
Yes, and if you like painting with an alkyd, Gamblin's formulation is a fine one to use. But even it can't replicate the actual properties of Maroger's Medium, aka megilp. I am only using the Maroger for this demo for historical purposes, for the mastic that has been found in JSS's paint films. I don't use it otherwise and mostly paint with linseed oil, or some sort of bodied oil instead.
Rabbitskin glue is well-known to cause cracking (not to mention the ethical considerations involved). Far better to sue modern alternatives.
Yes, you are correct, and again, I myself wouldn't recommend anyone using rabbit skin size today. We have better alternatives now. I am just sharing that the Tate's Conservation department has determined rabbit skin sizing is found under JSS' paintings as one would expect, only in his case a lot more of it than is usually seen. FWIW, I'm not using rabbit skin size in this demo. And frankly, I don't have a sense for why JSS preferred to use so much of it under his thin ground. It's conjecture on my part, but he did seem to disregard some of the material knowledge that was extant during his day, perhaps in pursuit of certain effects. Then again, almost all artists do this to some degree... Just sayin' 😉
@@ThomasKitts haha Thomas.. dont even read the comments on RUclips. Its always a bunch of people who watched a few minutes of the video and didn't get the full context asking redundant questions or making redundant points.
"Sargent used a neutral grey, which I won't, and will mix on the fly"
-Spends the next hour mixing black and white together.
I assume he meant Sargent used a certain grey that was already prepared.
10:52 “In Sargent’s case he used a neutral gray, which I will mix on the fly from the previous two”
He clearly says he will mix Sargent’s neutral gray from the flake white and black.
You are talented…but Sargent did not use that many colors. He did use all the colors you mentioned, but not on the same painting.
yeah. not
I didn't know George Lucas painted
20 paints are you kidding? Did you not learn color mixing?
Where can I see your amazing timeless paintings in a top gallery? Since you are so awesome you can make derogatory remarks to this talented artist. Did you not even listen? He is showing the paints JSS was known to have used! This is a historical/educational video. But you arent very bright, are you?
blaaaa blaaaaa blaaaa blaaaaash
Watched four episodes, but not one painting from start to finish. Basically ads, "buy my stuff and learn". Unsubscribed.
Drawing is very weak
