Really gotta learn to chose my colors before hand and stick to the limited choices like you do, your videos always brightens my day, no matter how bleak your painting looks 😁
Thank you for showing a bit of pallette management at the beginning! That's one thing I've been very curious about but don't see in many videos. Gorgeous painting as always!
another goddamn beautiful piece, i will never be not amazed by how you bring these paintings to life from blocks of paint to absolutely stunning portraits, there's a reason why you're my favorite artist
I like the focus in on the paints early in the process, which gives a juiciness to the process only a painter can understand. It helps immerse the viewer into the process. Great premixing exercise as well, which is really useful in oil to save a lot of time. Of course, in acrylic you don't have that much time. I like the rich reds and browns in the face. Many of my painter friends do the reverse, starting in reds and then go over in cooler colors. I like the impact though of blue in the background. Thanks for sharing!
As always, very cool painting. Good for inspiration and motivation. This is my first post since I follow you, and it's have long been, keep this way and thx again.
$1 access IS a bone, all things considered. Also, I'm not sure what y'all want to see. I'm not particularly interested in teaching the basics of oil painting. Plenty of that out there already, and my self-taught self would probably steer you wrong. I'm on DSL so I can't upload 3 hour videos, and I kinda suck at video production. Is your avatar Iria? I just started watching that last night.
@@LarrivaArt I have no idea why I made her my avatar, but I watched her once many light years ago and probably affected me so much because she was everything that I was not at the time; aka brave , strong and beautiful. Anyways, I am a fan of your style because it reminds me of Malcom T. Liepke.
Awesome work as always John. It always amazes me how you put all the light and colors beautifully. Is this done in one sitting, while it's still wet? Who are the artists that have big influence on your paintings the most?
Thanks. It's wet-in-wet until 7:59 then it's a new glazing layer. Early on, loose painters like Sargent, Zorn, and Sorolla were big influences. Also, Norman Rockwell, J.C.Leyendecker, Rembrandt, and Lucian Freud. Super generic list here, I know.

Thanks! I'm "oiling out" with some walnut oil and a little yellow paint to knock back the purples. Oiling out brings back the original sheen of the oils before they dried. I'm also selectively glazing some dark paint over the face because it helps in the adjustment layer to sort of start over, working from dark to light again, and not keep anything too precious.
Thanks. I'm using solvent-free gel, which makes the paint a little softer without losing body. The oil painting "rule" goes, "fat over lean," which means paint with more fat(oil/medium) will flow over stickier paint with less fat. You can spread jelly over peanut butter if you're careful, but spreading peanut butter over jelly is a lost cause. Also, brush pressure is important for not mixing.
thank you for this quick respond, i really appreciated. im barely new to oil painting and currently work with watermixable oils from winsor and newton. just yesterday i ordered some different mediums to experiment a little. i really enjoy watching your videos, hope to see more of them, also the voice over one was really cool and informative. :)
Hi again John, I was wondering, you paint inside, isn't it? Do you paint with a window open? Is that good enough if I work little canvases? I'm switching from watercolors because I want to learn oil but keep coming back to the whole spirits/linseed oil and can't find good enough information. Is it a mess/cumbersome/stinks? I don't have a studio, I'd just be painting small 4x4/6x6s in my room and keep the window open. Should I go for acrylics until I have a bigger space or is it not as bad as it sounds? Thanks! B
Hi Belén. I don't think there's anything inherent in the oil paints themselves that would make them dangerous to breath short of sanding dried cadmium or lead paint into breathable dust. The fumes come from the turpentine or mineral spirits typically used with oils. I'm sensitive to these spirits myself, so I stay away from them when possible. Instead of rinsing my brush in mineral spirits, I use food grade walnut oil. I've also learned to paint without thinning the paint much, and when I do it's with the walnut oil. Linseed oil would be fine too, since it's also a food product. Good ventilation is important when using spirits. An open window near where you're working is good. Adding a fan to help exchange the air would be better.
Thanks for the reply John-- that was very helpful. I went to Blick's yesterday to get a starter set of tubes and the lady (who paints) also gave me a few tips to keep the smells in check. I'll keep walnut oil in mind for sure. Keep up the awesome work, you're amazing! :)
I don't understand how you can put so many layers of paint on top of each other, in alla Prima.. If I try that, my colors mix up or get wiped out. :/ And your style is amazing! :)
In addition to pre-planning my palette for easy use, I'm using the fat-over-lean principle. So fat paint(paint applied heavily or with more oil/medium in it) will go over lean paint(thin paint with less oil/medium). I really load my brush for paint that goes over other paint, so much that the bristles might not even touch the surface. I'm also using solvent-free gel medium to allow the paint to be heavy yet soft.
Hey! Love from India ♥️. Just discovered your channel and instantly subscribed ♥️. I went through some of your videos and I must say you are so amazing 😮. I also run an ART RUclips CHANNEL named NISHA SHIVAKAR KUMARI 🙃. I love learning new techniques. I loved your videos ♥️. Keep it up and all the best 😃
LarrivaArt I imagine that it is previously painted with a gray tone and once dry you apply some type of oil and on that wet surface you begin to paint , is that so ?
You got it. Gray acrylic, then a very thin application of walnut oil so the surface isn't dry to paint on. Not a necessary step, but I don't like too dry of a surface.
LarrivaArt ok, thank you for the speed in your answer, I think your style is great at the time of starting the portrait, the way to simplify the forms, as if it were a comic to be shaping later, away from hyperrealism endowing poetry to your portraits, I will try to take some of your work and apply it in my illustrations, thanks for answering and a greeting
I love this 'look', it's so gorgeous, you made her pop right out of the canvas..
Your color combinations bring fulfillment to my LIFE.
8:09 I nearly died seeing the black wash at first.....but then it became clear.
Bonjour🖐j adore vôtre peinture 🎨belle journée 🎶🎵
Je suis ravie de vôtre peinture 🎨merci pour ce partage 🎶🎵
Before the painting was even half way finished you could already see the emotion on her face that's really cool
all this passion and emotion in her eyes and on her face make her very beautiful
Really gotta learn to chose my colors before hand and stick to the limited choices like you do, your videos always brightens my day, no matter how bleak your painting looks 😁
You’re gonna go somewhere in life. Keep doing what you’re doing because you are so AMAZING at it!🤙beautiful work piece!

This is something like 3 hours condensed to 10 minutes.

Cool.
Love your portraits. What are your points of reference, do you work from sketches?
What's that technique you apply around the 8 minute mark? Nice work!

Can you list the colors you used and what’s it’s label .much love❤️
Bravo 🎶🎵🎨
More fascinating was to watch you prepare your palette. Could it be possible to have the name of the colors used ? Thanks :)
Sure. It looks like Titanium White, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Orange Hue, Napthol Red, Phthalo Green, Phthalo Blue, and Cadmium Yellow Light.
Thank you a lot.
Bonsoir🙋🏻♀️ j adore🎶🎵
I got scared when she blinked, jesus christ...
+LarrivaArt do you ever find blending of the paint a challenge when painting on surfaces like hardboard? thanks
1:50 What médium ? Oil, liquin, other ? .... Nice talent 🙏
It's a just a little walnut oil to make the surface less thirsty and slightly slippery.
LarrivaArt thank you for your return and thank you for your works
Yes
Where you took it further after it dried for 2 weeks, I probably would have stopped, out of my own fear of messing it up.
There was no worry for me, because with the dry paint beneath I could always wipe away any new oil paint that didn't work out.
excelente, cade os novos videos ?
What intense blue color is it in the beginning when you mix your colors?
Phthalo Blue.
@@LarrivaArt Ah, of course! Thanks!
?This is incredibile! your art style is AMAZING! what medium did you use

what medium is that next to the ultramarine blue?

This looks kinda like me
What medium did you use on the board before painting? just a quick oil coating?
Yep. Just a very thin application of walnut oil so it's not so dry.
Been a long time. Hope you're doing alright?

Is she happy only when it rains?
No. You're thinking of Shirley Manson.
nice, they tend to look like faces of alcoholics
My people.
:D
Didn't look like this before I stopped drinking, sadly...
all this passion and emotion in her eyes and on her face make her very beautiful
He often uses mugshots for references so I bet a lot of his subjects are in fact alcoholics lol
Rough night girl? ew.
