I am an artist living and working in France. I learned the techniques of the Atelier of the Nineteenth century and now I try to share some of my knowledge with the rest of the world, because I think that beauty still has an important role to play in artistic creation.

Thanks for watching !
I'm returning to oil paint after years of not painting with it. Your channel is a god sent to me. Very informative and your calm attitude makes it very enjoyable to watch! Thank you for this great content. Greetings from Mexico
Why is it so satisfying to watch a pallet knife smooshing color around?! 😍😍
I know right? I like when there's too much oil and it's all messy 😂 Looks so good, makes you wonder why even make a painting lol 😂
O thats why the fat over lean rule in oil painting. I am new to oil painting. I understand it a little but i have allot to learn. Thank you so mutch for this video Florent Fargas
Excellent information! Thank you!
Excellent video and great advice.
Great job 👏🏼 thanks for the tips!!
Thank you so much 😊✨🎨
Superb...as ever👌👌👌
Gracias, desde bogota Colombia
Thank you.
That's nice 👍🏻👌🏻
I could listen to you speak for hours ❤
Could you discuss that blob of paint on your brush?
See how the paint is abput half way staining the brush? Yet the tip is fully loaded. If you can get good at keeping to the end of the brushes but still have a good supply of paint this will save you paint, mess, and give you a better sense of control. This is t needed by everyone who paints. But I found striving to keep my blobs and my brush in balance without soaking paint into the metal section where the bristles are bound. When I clean up its faster and a lot easier on my brushes. I use Escoda kolinsky oil brushes. They are expensive. The behave like new a long time if I stay mindful of this one thing and care full washing. I do it but to push a brush in to an area is not so good for brushes. Go in the direction. But if you want to push and drag and dig you probably have a bunch of wrecked brushes for that. I hope I said something you find ok. Im not a teacher. I have learned quite a bit. I STILL end up with my brush all covered in paint and even up on to the handle. Its a good discipline for scattered brain me
so true. by overworking my "egg" I created the grayest dullest painting. I ended up taking a cloth and removing all paint. FYI, your simple "egg" (if you remember your advice) is not that simple ;-)
Oh no! an egg is not as simple as it seem. It's so subtle and the curve is pure and soft, very hard to paint the right way, nature is the best artist, hard to imitate. 😊😅
Do you have a website where you sell your paintings.
And if you do! Do you do requested paintings.
It's litteraly in the descriotion

Hi. I paint with layers and have a question. If I have an old unfinished painting, for example 1 year old with 2 layers with some linseed oil and i can be quite sure that it has dried, do I have to still go next with a fatter layer or can I treat it like it was my first layer now and go for example with thick paint straight from tube? Because i have a lot of old unfinished paintings over few years, lot of them I don't remeber how many with what layers there have been.
Just going in specially if it dry to the touch you didn’t have to worry about the rule because technically your painting that have been drying for a year etc is now like a underpainting in a way.
@@Pulapaws Thank You so much for the answer. It makes sense and it is great. I was worry that it would be to good to be true. I am so happy now:)
Why oils are better then acrylics??
No one is better, just different. Acrylics dry much faster than oils, when no mediums or other alterations are involved: acrylics can be a few hours to touch-dry, compared to a day to several days for oils to touch-dry. (Although both may need much more time to really dry completely in deep layers.) This allows you to be more laid-back in mixing the right colors when using oils, and/or working on a painting over several hours or days without the mixed colors on the palette drying-up. On the other hand, acrylics allow you to paint in layers one day after another.
Storing your paint in the fridge, is that a thing?
I’ve had success storing a palette of specific color mixtures in the freezer for several days, so I’d be able to return to a painting in progress. I put the palette in a plastic box with a bit of depth, and had plastic cling-wrap film to seal the top, to prevent airflow.
However, oil paints themselves in the tubes with caps on can be stored in room temperature in a drawer for several years. No need for refrigeration.
