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.

Thanks for watching !
Makes you wonder then…….if you had multiple facial maps of a known celebrity, and without knowing who it is….. using the facial map points draw in a face……”what would it look like? could we recognise the celeb?” Food for though. Thanks again Flo for your wisdom and knowlege
That was one of the best lessons I’ve ever heard when speaking of getting a likeness. I do mostly portraits and that information is priceless. Thank you so much for sharing that with us.
Michael Angelo is in good company IMO. This is exactly what’s been missing in my drawings. Thank you, thank you!
Excellent tutorial - thank you!
Brilliant video! Thank you Florentino!
Great teaching! So well communicated! Painting/drawing/teaching... wonderful triune gifts...
That's a really interesting perspective. I've been watching a few videos recently on using the loomis method to draw faces, and in some cases, the artists are landing up with an technically accomplished face, which absolutely looks like a person, but it doesn't really look like the person they are trying to draw.
Very Welldone Instructive video! Thank you Florent!
Brilliant! A real game-changer, Florentino!🎨
A brilliant explanation, Florent! I've seen you use this in your paintings. I try to be mindful of these important shadow shapes, but the additional details you've included in this video really make all the pieces come together. Thank you for sharing your amazing skills & knowledge. Merci beaucoup, mon ami!
This is really helpful. Thank you.
....actually, thats the reason sometimes why you need to change your subjects color to black and white......to locate the shadow shapes........when i paint, i use 2 pictures. The colored one and the black and white one
A million thankyous😊
I learned about the shadow shape method 12 days ago and I’m definitely going to work on mastering it
Game changing material here, thanks a lot for sharing, Florent ! 🙏
Thank you so much I am happy to have found you! Merci
WOW super valuable instructions here, Florence this is truly helpful - thank you very much for providing this info and also in such a clear and easy way. 😍🤩
That is amazing! I was stunt by this lesson! It's the most valuable 12 minutes 40 seconds I 'ever spent! Huge thank you Flo for such helpful information!
It's all very true. I had the same experience. I wasn't understanding how to create good portraits until I began focusing on the values and shadow shapes instead of the features. Do this and a nose, a mouth, or an eye, will magically appear all by themselves.
Thank you so helpful! So well explained!
