About me (bio) :
Website :

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. I do mostly drawing and oil painting, and my goal is always to provide techniques, thoughts and explanations that can be useful to anyone, from beginners to more advanced artists.

Thanks for watching !
I do this all the time and it helps me a lot. I was horribly stuck on several paintings that I couldn't finish. Through contemplation, I relaized that I am a narrative artist and if there is no story, I don't know what to do. I am not able to just make pictures of beautiful things or landscapes.I was trying to paint just what was in front of me to develop skills---but had to take a rather long break from that. There has to be at least symbolism and a tale to tell. Once I figured that out, the pieces went forward to a happy ending.
So satisfying finding someone who answers all your questions and is willing to share their vast amount of knowledge with us❤thank you
I paint in natural light and I find, if I wait until dusk - then it gives me another perspective - perhaps it is similar to squinting your eyes. I find if I meditate on the painting in half dark, I get some good ideas as to what to work on next.
Excellent suggestion. You will naturally visualize ( in small or maybe big ways) your actions that are inspired during this time. And we know the power of visualization
So true. I always feel rushed to get my easel set up and start painting. I will try this. Writing notes definitely helps when solving complex problems. I do this for other projects at home and at work so why not use this approach for paintings too? Very interesting to hear your thoughts Florent thank you 👍
6:05 I have a massive 4 ft by 5 ft painting that I'm painting in all four directions. Constantly rotating it and is driving me mad. I'll be done in nine years.
Working smarter. . . not harder! YES!
Nice. Thank you Florent!
I do this all the time. It also helps to break through procrastination, insecurity, fear, etc.
It helps set me into the zone.
Same for me exactly! Its kind of necessary for me.
Monsieur Farges always produces good ideas. That's something I had never thought about. Definitely I will give it a go. Thanks.
Florent, your video itself has an impressive design. At 3:50, you appear as an organic part of the whole composition, standing in front of your painting.
Thank you! A valuable lesson for me at this time!
Bon travail j aime beaucoup 😊
This is great advice for all kinds of creativity I think.
As long as I don't have to take my notes in French, I'll be fine. I currently have a painting that keeps trying to twist and escape under my hands and I'm about to give up on this one and simply move on to something else for now.
Great lesson. Tanks a lot, master.
Great post. So helpful.
Thank you for sharing your observations, Florent! It is good to slow down & contemplate one's work. Enjoy your family time!
Excellent. Post

If only we had Jeff's perspective. 😂
And multiple eyes
