I just happened upon this video and wasn't going to watch it. I'm glad I did. I learned alot about Velazquez. I always wondered how he did it. Never thought to study him step by step. Thank you for doing all this work for us.
This video is exactly what I was looking for on techniques of Velazquez by another expert painter .Wonderfully broken down and explained ,.....Thank you !
Me encantó tu vídeo!!! Espero un día pintar como Velázquez, o bien, su discípulo como algunos comentan que el era quien hacía bastante del trabajo de Velázquez haha.
...At 5:13 in this video there is a brief view of the hands in an unfinished Velasquez portrait which hangs in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich. I'd suggest to any portraitist interested in Velasquez's technique to check out a good image (even digital close-up) of this painting. It gives such a clear idea of how the painter would brush-draw in a loose way to establish basic forms, block in the large areas, but start to develop the facial area right from the start. A fine study piece!
The Velazquez book he shows looks like the 'Velazquez' by Maurizio Marini, the Italian edition published by Electa Editore, Milano 1997. However, there are editions in other languages by the same author, including in English. Cheers
It is said that he experiments with different mediums. What I am completely sure of is that he use calcite mixed with its pigments. Calcium carbonate mixed with linseed oil and pigment. This causes the colors to become more fluid and transparent.
I discovered this for myself by simply painting more... midtones are key to easily stepping up or down to all the values. Any of the Masters would know and use this. I do not see anything unique to Velázquez here, it seems he painted as he was taught in the techniques common to all of the Masters of the day.
:-) that is funny. you probably discovered some things in painting, because you picked things up, by seeing them. the methods taught by teachers - most of them rest on the shoulders of other past great artists. and Velazquez was one of them. I mean, it's not like, oil painting in the middle ages was the very same as in the renaissance. people just couldn't think of some methods - till one person cought the right moment in time, to break out and bring something new in. more or less, summerizes, how heiritage in arts, science, literature works (basically also, political theory)
@sarahfrench4823 not with any certainty. I have pics of it that were made but have not or know who to send them to. Do you know anyone that would know about the painting?

Wish you’d do a video specifically on his open brush stroke vs his older way to paint bc I’m confused on what open brush stroke means
Thank you, very impressive!
Thank you so much for sharing ❤
I'm sure that I can not achieve this, but, I'm still watching.
Great video ! Thank for your work 👍

Hello. Thank you for your video. Could you write which is the book in the video? Do you know other books with nice big pictures like this one? Thanks!
Thank you. I would recommend Velázquez. The Complete Works from Taschen. I saw and its better than the one that i have.
@@mifamiami Thank you very much!

@@TessMArt I will check it! Thank you!
Would you please tell me which medium he used, just oil or mixture of oil and solvent and what kind of oil. Thanks a lot.
It is said that he experiments with different mediums. What I am completely sure of is that he use calcite mixed with its pigments. Calcium carbonate mixed with linseed oil and pigment. This causes the colors to become more fluid and transparent.
@@mifamiami Thank you so much. I will try it as I need more transparent and fluid paint.
Would you please share the ISBN # of your Velazquez book? Thank you.

Yes, observation and practice are key. Thank you for your comment.
