I don't understand why people need to take time and effort to dislike, is it so hard to be grateful? Be grateful people share their knowledge for free! Thank you Florent, you are great!🙏🏼

The color study is better than most "finished" paintings

@beckyholt 9 лет назад

I can only agree with everyone else here that this tutorial was significantly better than most. You managed to guide new students through the terms and methods that often puzzle the beginner. Simple, clear and informative. Thank you for sharing.

@FlorentFargesarts 9 лет назад

beckyholt Thank you so much ! I really appreciate... have fun painting !

I learnt painting flesh tones from you, now sending this to my friend who asked me how to paint flesh tones 🥰😃👍

@Sale7.G 8 лет назад

I'm an art student and I meet a lot of artists, non of them explained color and mediums better than this. Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge.

@mitjellk2186 6 лет назад

how the hell are you an art student without getting color theory? What kind of institution you studying at? It was the first bloody thing I did in art school, endlessly mixing colors until I could produce perfect gradients on command. I still get frustrated when thinkin about it but it's such an elementary skill that I'm happy they forced us to do it.

@es1653 Год назад

Professor Fargas you are absolutely excellent at explaining the 'how' of painting to students starting out and also to those students who have had teachers that don't or can't explain. Fantabulous video! Heartfelt thank you!!!

My college professor recommended this video, and I'm glad! This was very informative.

dude, write a book and then let me know when you sell it because im gonna buy it immediately when its out

@tumblingrosesstudio 3 года назад

Thus is one of the most valuable videos I've ever seen on painting for self-taught artusts, because I didn't previously understand what a study was and what they might be for and why t do more than one- as well your 'closed palette technique' is so good to know. Thank you for doing these, you are awesome!!!

Sometimes I get strong desires to paint just out of nowhere, its like i have to. These moments connects me so much to the basis of human nature that time sometimes sieze to exist and 5 hours feels like 30 minutes. Does anyone else have such feelings? It may be a part of expressing something very complex in a yet simple way, however i do not share these emotions with alot of people i meet and that fact somehow scares me.

@melaniem.4070 8 лет назад

+Handful of Sand I thought I was the only one feeling this. I feel like I am finally connected to myself and that painting is the only way for me to relax and forget about time. I always get from people who do not paint at all "when you paint you must think a lot about what's going on in your life or whatever, don't you?" Well, I don't; and it's freaking me out. Like, I do not think for 6 hours in a row. It's hard to explain, indeed, but I have no words to express this feeling and people do not usually understand how painting is important to my life. It became an addiction. I really wanted to comment back because it's really what I feel when I have the urge to paint and when I paint. I thought I was alone. (sorry for my bad english) And very very good video btw!!

@internalvelocity6058 5 лет назад

I don’t have some hungry urge to do anything but I only loose track of time when I sculpt. It’s weird, especially if you have an endless playlist of synth wave music, 30 minutes feels like 3 hours, but fun, it’s like a drug. I’m guessing it has something to do with heart rate, cuz when I work out I get the opposite effect.

@frenlyneybur7544 5 лет назад

I haven't sketched in 3 years and just last week I had a strong urge and now I'm back at it 🙂

@vsperatos 5 лет назад

@hadouke2050 7 лет назад

great video it helped me step out of my shell of being to afraid to paint skin tones i would always make it abstract and unrealistic with a great linework but i never built up the courage to try flesh tones you made it seem simple for me and i am now trying for the first time thanks florent !

@michaeldavis7355 8 лет назад

This is the video I've been looking for for years. Very clearly explained. Easy to follow, without being overly simplistic or condescending. And the presenter doesn't feel the need to be all perky and annoying like 90% of these other art videos. Just straightforward, to the point. You know this guy loves painting because the video is all about painting rather than the painter.

@TammyRose751 8 лет назад

Thank you, for showing how to mix the colors regarding the lights and shadows. I was always told not to add black. You showed how to do that and to start with the dark's first. I definitely learned a lot.

@FlorentFargesarts 8 лет назад

Black is subject to debate. The only thing to know about it, is that it is actually a blueish color. A very very dark blue so to say. So if you add black, you make the mix darker but also more blue. If you know that, it can easily be balanced by adding more orange (like burnt sienna). But I prefer adding burnt umber to my skin tone mixes instead of black , so that I don't have to compensate this effect all the time.
