Notice how much the painter will get up from his seat and take a step back to look at the model and painting. I was once in an art competition when I was younger and one of the judges (a very successful painter from my state) came up and told me to get up and walk around and come back to my piece. It’s such an invaluable skill to be able to walk away or just take a step back from your art and look at it from a different perspective and come back to it with fresh eyes.
Its rather a fundamental skill,you paint a painting from the perspective from which it will be viewed.Nobody is going to view a 150×100 painting from up close,so he doesnt asses it from up close.
I know that any resemblance is totally unintentional, but this man looks like quite bit like John Lennon. Great painting & ALL my appreciation & respect to the artist!
Aydee- I feel the same...love watching others work when I have lots to do, lots to avoid. Really engaging to watch this pro do his thing...uses his brush like a conductor's baton...
Harry Latch- Harry, people don't really want a portrait that looks exactly like them...all our bad habits, as well as the good shows in our face, for all who care to look. The artist paints a hero based on the sitter's face. Picasso once did a portrait, the sitter complained it "doesn't look like me!" Picasso said "Just wait, it will..."
He is building that face from the inside out, picking out the bony points and following the muscle before he smooths and paints the outer layer. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find this kind of training in the West.
In my experience, Asia artist are the most foundational sound artist. in contrast there aprouch is often lose in the beginning which they craft into masterpiece.
Chinese realist artists studied Western style painting under Russian masters in the past. They then returned to teach the same in their country. I have visited the Beijing art museum and seen some really great art there by Chinese masters.
I counted the contents of 20+ full tubes of oil paint squeezed out on his palette. How does he stop it drying out when done with the portrait? I assume only a fraction of that amount is required to complete it.
Oil Paint squeezed out of the tube remains wet a long time (I once used paint I squeezed out like 4 days prior) If you want to slow down the oxidation process you can put the remaining colours into a stay wet palette. I imagine that he was going to use the remainding colours over the next days as this video appears to be a live broadcast of the process and he is using impasto paint. I do hope that I could help you out with this comment :)
El pintor que coje una brocha si es un maestro utiliza pinceles apropiado a su arte este arte es el más moderno el maestro indica que no hace faltar trabajar que con cuatro brochaso se termina antes la pintura no la veremos como colores vivo sino como lo fácil
It sounds like they cut a part of the audio out, where he's brushing a large brush over the background to fill in the colour, and used the same piece with the same clip of music over and again. Instead of having the original artist's speech.
As I clicked on this video a three minute long ad came up and it was the most bullshit I ever heard it was a poor guy who thought he was blessed by obsidian
He appears to be accomplished painter,but what the hell is going on with the people that put this up without explaining the process and the color palette absolutely no commentary.i turned it off after 15 mins in. Going to unsubscribe.
I watch in amazement! You are such a talented artist. You are a natural. But I believe that you also work hard. What a privilege to watch this video. Thank you so much for uploading!
What a wonderful portrait in the classic style of representational art. Rendering with layers of paint and the confidence of your brush strokes made this an enjoyable video to watch. Thank you so much for sharing your remarkable skill and talent.
i wish we could see more the model's face - it could be much more effective. the painting is an amazing art - but i feel that the artist did not achieve the spirit and expression of the models face. the model is a very smooth and baby-face like - and the painting presents some kind of a very grave "samoraic" older man, with a some what "drakula" posture.
I admire this master's skill in painting that portrait at the same time i also enjoy the background music. I recognize "I'd rather have Jesus" and "Just as i am" among others. This video could be a tribute to the Master Painter. PTL!
Artiste oui... Mais loin du niveau des vrais maîtres comme Singer Sargent ou Zorn. Avec une profusion de couleurs sur sa palette qui atteste de son manque de virtuosité dans les mélanges.... Il masque d ailleurs la fadeur du portrait au niveau de la couleur en accentuant sur le vêtement pour détourner l attention.
The history was that in 1949 after the New China was form, they sent out the first group of Chinese art students to Russia to learn the best Russian Academic Art system training and brought back the whole academic system to China later on. Since then they past down the best Russian influence to the later generations. Those Chinese artists who were trained in China during the 60s and 70s are the best trained artists in the Chinese-Western Arts history. And many of those are now in their 60 to 80 year-old now still very active and have been greater successful in the U.S. as well as in Europe art world.
Andy Lee , thank you for your reply about the history of the Russian influence on the New China and their great artistic abilities. I am so greatful that the Chinese and Russian artists are sharing their knowledge with the world thru you tube. It only speaks of their true passion, sincerely, Roxie
Rather a huge generalization but understand your "reaction". Guo Beiping as well as Chien Chung-Wei are 2 of the superb painters of the day. The rest, as in every other country - are lessers - painters rather than artists and creating artworks from which little if ever "art" ever emerges. But such are art and artists - both are extremely RARE.
This was very good in technique, but we all want our subjects to look better and he made him look like a much older man by making his features much harsher than they are. He has very smooth skin and it would have been nice to see that depicted in the piece.
love spray painting in public because if your really good at spray painting then people might say Awesome job and I like when people say that to me.I want to recommend my favorite artists Paul Gauguin, Guillermo Jiménez Sáen, Gabino amaya cacho, Edna Andrade, Paul Cézanne
I'm sure this is a very nice man who paints well enough but.... when I saw that palette I howled with laughter knowing full well he was not going to use all those colors. And he didn't. The person who said this was a performance was correct. This was entertaining to watch but this is NOT serious painting. This is alla prima painting. Translation = it's a color study [ at best ]. He definitely gets a C for courage.
Well Alla Prima itself is in fact not only used in order to make colour studies but also fully rendered paintings, for example John Singer Sargent's, Frans Hals's or Joaquin Sorolla's work. I mean, I understand your point of view, but downgrading this artists ability of making a large scale alla prima painting is, at least from my point of view not justified
I LOVED the video! It was most informative and educational. The background music with someone sanding the whole time was extremely aggravating. I would have much rather heard what the artist had to say, when he obviously turned to students and talked about his process. Whoever was sanding was very very very rude!
The sound you heard was not "sanding." That was the sound of a hogs hair bristle brush on canvas. Another artist was likely painting in a background or other section of a large surface area. Often artists must scrub with their brushes to get the paint off, used most extensively for the background etc
