      That is very much the case but he's wrong about the artist. William thought everything out to the last detail and drew competed fill detail on canvas before painting. He didn't paint from a mere under drawing. William painted from a completely finished detailed drawing. Just like van icke. Then they varnished over the completed detailed drawing. Then they added their paints. This guy is good but he isn't honest about teaching the masters ways.

But what painting supplies would you recommend for a beginner? I don't want to spend loads on paint just so I can paint something crap you know 😅

      Oils take way longer to dry. They also have quite a pungent smell and need mediums such as linseed oil and tupentine to be thinned out and work, and mostly they are very expensive. Oil paints also require a hard surface to paint such as canvas or wood as they can easily penetrate through other surface such as paper. So to start tradational arts, start by practicing your drawings by using diffrent mediums such as graphite, charcoal etc. And then for beginners, i suggest poster colours to be the best. They are cheaper, very pigmented and can easily be diluted. Get used to the medium and then try other paints like gesso, acrylic etc. And start by techniques (depending on what type of genre you paint), study other artists work and try to recreate them and pick what suits you the best and then put your own innovation into it. Hope it helps!

    That isn't even remotely how Bouguereau painted. Like all the old masters he worked in several layers to produce a more luminous realistic look. I know this video is for beginners but even beginners should start to learn that you can't do everything in one layer and expect it to look nearly as good as investing the time to work in layers.

    the lighting set up of your video session is great. I have seen too many other painting tutorial that we cannot even see the painting properly because of reflection. Also your close up are so clear and we can see the color, brushstroke clearly.
    A question: the video is it real time? how fast is the video speed up? Because I see I lot of rapid brushstroke so I assume
    this is not real time.

  • @Dale_Blackburn
    @Dale_Blackburn 2 года назад +1

    The title is very wrong. With all due respect you are far away painting like B.
    First B used often the glazing tek grisaille.
    You go straight up without glazing resulting in less polished look.
    I see no historical evidence about what kind of mediums, methods, special oils and strategies he used. Also your painting is much more un-blended whereas B's paintings have almost a magical quality of pureness, subtilty and fine rendering with glazing.
    Your style is different, your brushwork is different, your medium of oils can be also different.
    Comparing yourself with B is a huge mistake. I like your work but if you are going to publish a video like this, give a close up comparison of the HD source of B's and your painting to compare. B's painting looks flawless even up close, no trace of brushwork or muddy like blending of colors.
    Now im trying to find a historical source or a good book about Bouguereau's painting process and techniques and oils used. Then we can be sure.

  • @danielm3670
    @danielm3670 Год назад +1

    How can I stop oil paint from sinking too quickly when I paint? The color does not retain its brightness later on, as compared when being applied during a painting session. Bouguereau's colors seem more intense than today's oil paints.

    What is the purpose of underpainting? To set the tonal values, but if so, why do you paint opaque over it? I don't understand the mechanics. In 6:30, when taking the applying the first color on top of the underpainting, the applied color seems to be off compared to underpainting? What am I missing here, why do underpainting at all?

    • @artbystacyhouston6111
      @artbystacyhouston6111 3 года назад +5

      Oil paint naturally becomes more transparent over time. It may appear Opaque when he does the "overpainting" and "glazing" but it really is more like each paint layer film laid down is akin to a piece of glass. Also, if you set down the values first, you will make less mistakes and do a whole lot less work when it comes to doing the color. Your underpainting paint tubes tend to be less expensive, so by doing all the hard work of composition and value changes you use your more expensive colors on top- allowing them to go a lot further.

    Now do Napoleon Crossing the Alps (the one with the horse, not donkey). Whole thing, not just the head. LOL. Great job. Did the original artists started outlining before painting or could they do it on a blank canvas from pure imagination? I see that it took Michelangelo 4 years on the Sistine Chapel's ceiling and Da Vince 4 years just for Mona Lisa which was only 2'6 x 1'9. Did Michelangelo had help?

Opaque white is only used in white fabric and the at the end of form. He starts with scrapped smooth gessoed surface and paints. I still do not know how he removes the pencil drawing. I think he used a pencil lead that easily melted when covered with paint. I need to find that pencil lead. Send me an email at tom@tomlohre.com and we can take this conversation off line. Thank you.
