Splendid demonstration and beautiful painting! It is a pleasure to watch a real artist in real time. This seems better than the high-speed demos often found here on YT. The comments you give are cogent, sage advice. The real-time video allows us to see your impressive vocabulary of brushstrokes. Music was nice too! Right volume, non-repetitious, intelligent.
stunning demonstration, beautiful brushwork! please may i ask whether you use a medium or dryer such as liquin or whether you just add linseed oil or similar to get that fabulous paint texture....for you, the paint is sumptuous and buttery but doesn't dribble down the canvas and i love that quality...may icask what you add to your paint to achieve that...thank you and thank you again for the beautiful demonstration.
@@davishev thank you for getting back to me and for that info...i will give it a try....looks different to liquin so worth an experiment...has been extremely enjoyable to watch your painting demonstrations ...thank you for posting them and very best wishes...
Looks like Titanium White, Cad yellow, Cad orange and ultramarine blue. Could be some Prussian blue too but you could get away with adding black to the blue on your palette. Fairly simple to figure out.
Sorry for the late reply. This painting is about 10 yrs old. I think I was using cadmium orange, cadmium yellow , dioxazine purple, ultramarine blue, titanium white.
It took David many years (and years of classical painting) to be able to develop the confidence and looseness in his brushwork. Not even mentioning the superior understanding of value and color. Unfortunately you cannot learn this in a single workshop.... there is no shortcut. I am sure the workshop will be fun and inspirational, but that is where it will end. Get so irritated by these professional hustler-artist selling their workshops.
Yes maybe you won’t create the masterpiece you had in mind i know i certainly haven’t in the past during a workshop but you will see the world through new eyes and perhaps gain a new understanding to take with you.
He never once states that you will be a master painter after attending his workshop. He just says you can learn more about oil painting if you take it. If anyone goes into it thinking their skills will increase 100 fold, then that’s on them for being stupid and naive. Also, selling paintings is not easy, so it’s necessary for these artists to supplement their income by teaching. As long as they are not over promising on what you’ll learn, I don’t see the harm. In fact, workshops can be quite helpful if the student goes into the, with an open mind and eagerness to learn.
Yeah workshops are about the artist magically transferring their years of practice into your head, eye, and hand within a couple days so that you can instantly replicate their technique and be a clone copy of them, not taking onboard the wisdom, instruction, and feedback they have to offer and integrating it within your own practice and synthesizing it within you own knowledge base so as to further improve and enrich your individual artistic journey 🙄
I love the analogy you used...really great. And this was a great little demo too. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you.
Like poetry, beauty through economy…. Incredibly beautiful!! Thanks maestro
Exquisite beautiful magical .
I Love the analogy of using few words , keeping painting fresh and simple .
Thank you! Cheers!
Wonderful, I like the way the glass container simply emerges into view.
Splendid demonstration and beautiful painting!

Great demo David.. I agree.. it's no easy task to keep form simple and yet make it look so alive!
Neat!
I'm just now taking an oil painting class and am working on my technique, and this has definitely given me some ideas. Thanks!

Hi. I use Galkyd medium.
@@davishev thank you for getting back to me and for that info...i will give it a try....looks different to liquin so worth an experiment...has been extremely enjoyable to watch your painting demonstrations ...thank you for posting them and very best wishes...
@@chrisedwick It is different than Liquin. Galkyd is more the consistency of oil, whereas Liquin is a jell. It also does not smell as bad as Liquin.
@@davishev sounds good...my love affair with liquin is waning...i'm buying some Galkyd! thanks again.
@@chrisedwick I use the "solvent free " version
Ok, I'm going to have to watch that about 20 times before I understand what just happened...
Amazing David! Thank you
love it love it love it

Shut up, whiner.

@@timyardley7042 , yes I understand that he has to sell his workshops, it is important,

What do you use for your medium?
How do you judge tone after putting colour down
I try to judge the value first, then the color before I put anything on the canvas.
Thank you.
that was very interesting
