I saw this video almost 12 years ago and I see newer things I had never seen in the first place or missed first time around. Mr. Liberace is a brilliant painter. His approach and technique and brush work excite me every time I see him paint. He has such a clear vision of the process and the medium of painting. I remain an avid fan even 14 years later. Thank you for making this video for meant to enjoy today.
Beginner here.. Anyone can answer me please : after the first dark brush strokes i presume with a bit of turp or spirit.. Does he add a bit of linseed oil to the next layers or just oil straight out the tube? Thanks
I thought I was going to see a drawing with silverpoint and ink, but there was not one. There was instead i) a drawing with silverpoint and ii) a drawing with red chalk and ink. The title is misleading.
so i have always wondered what makes a work specify as terra cotta? is the finished sculpture fired or is this a clay that will hold up with just air drying?
i love and i like you... i am happy to see your video my friend... i find it useful to watch your work, keep it up and keep up the good work.... greetings and greetings of friendship from me in Indonesia ... may we always be healthy so that we can continue to work ... and from here I hope for your support and guidance from you for me my friend, I like you my best friend and I love you.
just incredible how you paint ! I've watched it so many times over, just heavily concentrating on your beautiful work ethic, so economical, and the colour choices are so pure, the brush work is just marvelous and the luminace of your skin work - from those interesting tantilizing darks (some transparent, others bold and beautiful, each serving their purpose of creating depth and juxtaposed warms or cools).. Your lights pop with all their chroma - laying over your underlayer/toned canvas like a true mask of skin. Amazing.
Due to badly drawn hands, I've passed on a lot of figurative art that I would have considered buying.. Even abstract figures need a basis of anatomy before they can be convincingly distorted or simplified.
The sculpture looks very good, but it would have been incredibly nice if this video had been a tutorial on how to do it step by step. Nice job though 🙌🏻
Please, don't call him "Da Vinci". His name is LEONARDO: ****da Vinci**** (not *Da Vinci) is not a last name. It simply means ***FROM VINCI***. Vinci is the village near Florence where Leonardo was born. Leonardo's father was a prosperous merchant and his mother was a servant in his house, not his wife. Therefore, legally, Leonardo could not use his father's last name. For 5 centuries he has been known as Leonardo, until the semi-literate pulp-fiction writer and plagiarist Don Brown came up with that book. That must be the most cruel joke played by fate: a below-mediocre mind actually changed the name of one of the greatest spirits and minds of Western civilization. It says a lot about our 'culture', doesn't it?
