Even when it's shown like this without skipping or increasing play speed, there's still so much that the eye (as a student) misses. Amazing that it was done in 40 minutes!
Hands down, my favourite artist of all time for the skill and the use of it to achieve the whole point of the exercise. So glad you, guys, are back producing these nuggets of gold and if anyone gets the chance to go study with Jeff and the team, they should do.
Thank you so much Jeff to share your technique with us. You're certainly one of my favourite teacher and I really admire the rendering of your paintings. It's a precious gift and a chance to learn from you since the actual art schools don't seem to worry about the skill but about how to advertise you as a professional artist whatever your skills are. Academic art is a mankind legacy we have to perpetuate for future generations. Love from France.
you are like dad i never got, you inspire me to draw everyday. thanks for posting this incredible free portrait. never stop doing. sending love from india.
Thank you for this. Lots of great info weaved in between your words and your live demonstration. I learn a LOT, not only on painting but also on teaching. Waiting for the gouache vids. Cheers!
I love seeing paintings that are loose and thick…I typically paint pretty tight and thin…just how I’ve always painted to each his each their own but, I love seeing a different perspective….so much to learn and so much to explore! 👌
Wonderful video ‘and’ beautiful work! Really appreciate your dedication to sharing of technique and well conveyed process insights. Your frame of reference and time honored contexts are incredibly valuable. Many thx, sir! 👏😎
this was wonderful to watch, and also to hear your thoughts and process along the way.. i love these studies even more than " finished " pieces, many times.. so much life in each stroke.. I work mainly with gouache and love it so much!!! Norakag 👍👍
Great great artist you are ! And such a generous teacher too, thanks for sharing so many insights during painting ! Love also the production, we are "in " the painting with you, great capture on video ! Suscribed !
Watching an incredible Artist like Jeff with so many years of experience with his craft, intuitively moving paint around creating soft edges with his finger is so incredibly satisfying.
Just found your channel today, and I enjoyed this so much! Your insights and advice, as well as your positivity, are really inspiring! I love your painting and style. Thank you so much! Subscribing!
I'm curious what Jeff thinks about acrylics 🤔 he didn't mention them at all which I suppose means he hasn't bothered with them much but that's what I've been learning color with
Incredible tutorial. Just looking at the process helps tremendously. Even though you look like a retired WWE heavyweight champion trying to sell me crypto. 😅
If an artists wants to become more efficient, should they focus on optimizing a process that already yields good results, or should they attempt to adopt a new procedure even if its radically different from what they're used to?
Coming from someone that loves learning multiple styles, it depends. For me, learning different methods helps me understand the nuances of my own personal work method. The problem with learning from multiple masters though is that you're probably not going to master any of their methods. I would become efficient in your own style of working first, likely using a master's style, then branch off by including new pieces of knowledge you learn over time.
@@NobleHusky Yup; this is what Leonardo advised centuries ago, and I think I've heard Watts recommending it as well. Essentially, start reaching proficiency in one way of working first, *then* do branch and study other masters as well. Especially for self-learners: the risk of getting distracted by the variety of mediums, and diversity of technique is far too great, and will make learning more difficult than it already is.
That's a great question, and @NobleHusky has some good insights. No matter what kind of procedure you're using, it should be informed by sounds fundamentals (shape, value, edge, color). To become more efficient really means that you've become a better thinker and you're able to process information at a faster and more intuitive rate, and if you're constantly changing different procedural methods, it might hinder your ability to develop sound analyzation skills. Try your best to gain a good level of proficiency in a specific procedure and that will help you find a good baseline that you can experiment off of. If that procedure works, then just keep using it and over time you will develop your own deeper personal understanding and be able to incorporate multiple ideas.
This turned out to be a great painting. But does it look like the model? My advice is to look at the model 90% of the time, and your canvas 10%. Otherwise you paint the same painting over and over. With that said. This really turned out to be a great painting. Thank you.
