    This painting is nothing short of a visual symphony, harmonizing colors and forms.

    The painting is great. I really appreciate the detailed explanations of how he worked, which is often lacking in other videos about Sargent.

    What a great video, I really dig the way you explain the process of the mastercopy. I'd love to try a portrait out, do you have any recommendations for a first try on a mastercopy of Sargents? I've never done a portrait and I am new to painting still.

    • @patrickokra
      @patrickokra  Год назад

      Pick something you want to have in your studio, like if you have any of your own favorites from him! It might be a really good idea to pick one of Sargent’s early portraits that were “unfinished”, those would be a good lesson in simplifying when painting

    legitimately an excellant sargent copy, you captured his bold brushwork and colour variation very well. I`m curious how you developed this skill, i can only paint grisailles at this point, whenever i try colour i always get the values and tones wrong compared to my black and whites :/

    • @patrickokra
      @patrickokra  Год назад +2

      Over a long time, but there was a period of my life where I went to an academy and drew and painted all day everyday for almost 4 years.
      One point about color is that it’s tied together to the value. Color is light and vice versa. I don’t think it’s so important to focus on grisaille. If you get the right color you will have the right value. Great exercise is doing loads of small 6x8in mastercopies in color

    • @harryainsworth6923
      @harryainsworth6923 Год назад

      @@patrickokra doing small 6x8 mastercopies is an interesting idea. Im guessing this basically means a tiny portrait where i need to simplify the tones into big simple planes of colour? Also, how would you recommend to move from monochromatic bust/cast paintings to full colour portraits? thanks so much

    • @patrickokra
      @patrickokra  Год назад +2

      It’s definitely easier to start with a limited palette, and add colors over time as you get comfortable/feel the need to push your chroma.
      And yup, on a way you can consider them as color studies. Just gotta get those reps in, better to do dozens and dozens of small studies at first to really get comfortable with color mixing
