This is the first time I tried a Bouguereau. He lived in the 19th century and so I took pigments from this time. For example my lead white I mixed 50/50 with zinc white and used also colours like prussian blue.
Bouguereau usually started on a grey ground. Next time I will try this.
The clips I filmed with two mobile phones. The start and the end is made with a Huawei P30 pro, the middle part with an Iphone 11 Pro Max. I was surprised about the bad quality from the Iphone when I watched on a bigger screen. After this I changed back to the Huawei.
The last picture shows my painting in real colours.
A lot you asked me, which brand of paint I use. I make my own paint. It´s made of pure pigment and linseed or safflower oil in organic quality. There are no fillers in like plaster, chalk, baryt or wax. Also there are no additional things in like siccatives. Only the pure pigment und oil, like the Old Masters did.
