An extraordinary effort from fundamentals. No Great technique used but you do not see any mudding. Very little knife work but still crispy at edges as required. I see a master evolved & realistic & impressionistic. Perhaps SARGENT LIKE Hand & EYE & Color sense. God give him strength & from all of us ( a cross the world ) to lift this gem up. THIS ARTIST deserves all.
Im back again watching this video, which I find it again impressive. Clearly explained your process. I have been painting roses. My great challenge is painting a white rose and defining the inside petals. I love to paint in layers. I do well on color roses but white is always a challenge. I would love to see a video or tips for a white rose. I do understand that a white rose takes other colors. Again it is a very challenging subject. Thanks so much for all the hard work and time you put in each video. So much education and inspiration. At 67, I keep trying. Oil painting is out of this world. It takes you away from daily routine. Blessings, much success for 2023 and be safe. ❤
I included a white flower as well as the two pink ones in this video. There is a full length version of this demo filmed in real time on my Patreon channel where you see me paint the white flower in detail. You'll find it as part of my essentials of colour course. There is also another demo I did with a white flower here: ruclips.net/video/bgXFzF89Was/видео.html White flowers are difficult because the colours are so subtle. The shadows will usually be made up of warmer green beige colours containing quite a lot of yellow ochre and cooler violet colours. The lights will will usual consist of warmer yellows and cooler green whites. I hope that helps?
@@SIMPLIFYDrawingandPainting it indeed is...i hv been working on painting bouganvillea flowers in acrylics (going for sort of an abstract- hv a fuzzy vision of it rt now) and m trying to ignore the details, look at d shapes and trying not to get all d details and to leave out some details..so this is very timely. Thanks again.
I"ve been painting a lot of flowers, and in particular roses. I did this search to see how others are approaching this subject. Thanks enjoyed your instructions on this and the first part. Very beautiful.
Heck yeah it's difficult. Those value changes represent just a little depth. Its a lot tougher than painting foreground trees and trees on a mounting wayyyyy in the background IMO. Ive gotten back into painting after a dew years off. These are great lessons. See you over on patreon. Thanks.
@@SIMPLIFYDrawingandPainting can you consider offering your lessons online to purchase individual? The monthly payment doesn't work for many...please consider to offer with a website where one can purchase the lesson and it remains on your website...where subscribers can log in with UN and PW...to get access to lesson/s. Thank you
Your patreon has revolutionised the way I understand and approach oil painting. Thank you so much for all the information here. This is THE online course for alla prima painting imo!!
Roses and flowers in general, have frustrated me. This is a wonderful tutorial and I cannot wait to try the techniques you so masterfully explained here.
Thank you. I have yet to try and tackle painting flowers. The intricacies were always so daunting. I now want to give it a go, using what I’ve learned here. Also, I never really observed the subtle visible shifts around depicting the edges of my subjects, to really notice where they are clearly defined and where they should become soft or lost into the background. I now consider these when looking at my subject before I begin a painting. So thank you for teaching about being very careful not to over-define, like I would in an illustration.
Thank you Ruby. If you're new to painting flowers, I recommend starting with just a single white rose. Another artist's work you should check out who is phenomenal at painting flowers is Daniel Keys. Good luck with it!
Thank You Alex' for sharing your wonderful videos. It's a great opportunity for me to watch and know such impressive technique. My passion is Classic Painting and what you demonstrate here gave me an inspiration to learn more...Thank You🙏
I loved the final process. Thanks for the explanation of the process and the colors you used. Great tutorial! I’m at the moment painting a pink rose with all the color variations. I find it challenging but a great practice. Blessings and take care.
Hello, I am a painter in Paris, I did find this vidéo super amazing, I love your style and you pedagogic ! I'll certainly will ask you for zoom classes later, as soon as I can. Thnak you for this generous sharing. I did learn and understand quiet a lot. ! (ps : I have a small artshool in Paris :) ) A bientôt !
You can certainly uses the same method, however there will probably be some difference in the surface quality as I'm guessing the oils will appear more glossy than acrylics? Though thee maybe some sort of medium you could add to the acrylics? I don't know, I haven't used acrylics in years.
Hey man! DO alot more of these! you nailed these! If I could suggest something, 7 x 5 panels and 6 x 8 panels are a joy to pain on. Its a great size and these beauties will fit well with those sizes. :)
Thanks! I do quite a lot of small landscape studies on 7 x 5's and 6 x 8's. I usually do my RUclips demos a bit larger, just because I prefer the way it looks when the canvas fills up the whole shot.
I used a few drops of solvent for toning my canvas at the start and for blocking in the green leaves, then after that no medium just the colour out of the tube.
I hear a lot of artists talking about 'muddy colour' when trying to mix vibrant colours. Can you state rigorously what muddy colour actually is? What leads to muddy colour? What actually is it? I assume it's simply related to mixing too many pigments together and causing them to approach grey?
The brightest and least muddy colours we can possibly achieve when painting is to use pure colour straight out of the tube. However, when observe nature there are very few places where we will find colours bright enough to use pure colour. The highlights on flowers being one of them. Most of the colours we see will actually be much greyer and more neutral. Have you ever see a landscape by an inexperienced artist where green in the trees or grass is way too bright? In reality the green will need to be made less intense in order to be accurate. So you would neutralise the green by adding some of its complimentary, red. Could it be said you were making a more "muddy" version of green? Now, even though we have said that the green of our trees and grass needs to be more neutral there may be a few spots, like highlights on some of the leaves in a tree where the colour in much purer with less red mixed into it. With this in mind, when I hear an artist use the term "too muddy" I believe it to mean one of two things, firstly that the neutral colours or too neutral and grey, or that colours need to be more intense aren't intense enough? Does this make sense? In my experience the way this usually happens is by mixing too much white in to things. This can also often referred as "chalky" colour. But then, terms like "muddy" and "chalky" can mean different things to different people. Language is one of the most challenging things in art education, we're trying describe purely visual phenomena. Even words we use for colours might only be vague description of what we actually see. An artist might refer to something as green, when really its grey and it only appears greener than the brown shape next to it, that appears slightly more red.
@@morimation6885 yes the break was intentional, but the paint was still entirely wet. I just needed to think about them before adding the last few details.

Can you make a video on how to use a pallet and organizing paints and color on the pallet. It has always been a struggle for me.
I hope you are in good health. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome explanation and mastering as well as a wonderful human being.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you Alejandro!
Love how simple your still life set up is. Easy to recreate in my own studio. Need to not rip up my next amazon delivery box lol
This is amazing! I was wondering if you think you could still achieve this same look using an acrylic primed cotton canvas?
You can certainly uses the same method, however there will probably be some difference in the surface quality as I'm guessing the oils will appear more glossy than acrylics? Though thee maybe some sort of medium you could add to the acrylics? I don't know, I haven't used acrylics in years.

so helpful thank you, is this painting done in one session !?
Thanks! Pretty much, but I took a long break of a few hours just before the putting in the last few details at the end.
@@SIMPLIFYDrawingandPainting Those few hours make oil a little dry and u can add details better, am i right?
I wanna ask, Was the break intentional?
@@morimation6885 yes the break was intentional, but the paint was still entirely wet. I just needed to think about them before adding the last few details.
@@SIMPLIFYDrawingandPainting thanks for information
Superb
Thank you Lalitha!
Do you use a glass pallet?
