As Pablo Picasso once said: “Learn the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist” Is very important that people know that for breaking the rules, you must be first aware of what you’re breaking on the first place. As a young artist is very easy to think you’re being disruptive because you’re making something nobody in your observable universe is doing and feel like you don’t need to learn art fundamentals because of it.
This is fun! I mostly do landscape paintings, and it’s very cool to see your process! I like both portraits, but I agree the first feels classical and the second feels contemporary. I would normally mix paint as I go, but found I get impatient and ansy to finish if I don’t premix some key colours, and usually start with a small panel before a larger canvas as practice or make the panel plen-air and use that as a reference instead of a photograph. (Sort of like the group of 7 did with cigar box lids) I just started trying liquin as a medium and I love it. To me, it feels like gel but for oil, which I’m pretty sure is reverse of how it actually is. I’ve used linseed and turps for years and years and always found it difficult to keep gradually increasing my oil ratio to be able to paint over wet areas, but with the liquin medium it seems to work effortlessly. I also find it very neat that you use ultramarine on your palette, where I will almost never add it to my palette, but I‘l use cerulean almost as much as titanium white.
Thanks so much Jules ☺️ I work similarly, if I need a lot of one colour in particular, I will pre mix. I do love letting go and mixing during the process though. Sometimes fun things happen!
i think the premixed palette painting has its own merits. but i largely prefer the "mixing as you go" painting :) as you said, it has more exciting colour choices and feels a lot more smooth and crisp, i think because of using a flat crush to lay down a lot of the colours. i personally prefer to mix as i go too so there's definitely a bias there 😳 both of the paintings were very pretty! i like the mood and aesthetics of this video!
As someone who spec’d into science and sports as a kid, I’ve never learned how to draw or paint. However after playing the videogame Disco Elysium I’ve become enamored with how painting can bring out something deeper in an image
Wow, just looked up Disco Elysium and the art is absolutely incredible. Thanks for sharing! It's wonderful that you have a growing appreciation for painting, that's an exciting adventure to be on! :)
Beautiful video! You put so much thought putting these together and I really appreciate it and know how hard it can be. So, thank you very much for sharing.
You are so welcome! I really appreciate your thoughtful comment :-) I still have so much to learn about video creation, but I am really enjoying the journey. Thanks so much!
I love everything about this video. I love it when I could see the progression of how an artist goes about starting or even the thought process. Overall the video was very informative and so well done and aesthetically pleasing!!!! Absolutely amazing!!!!
@@emhuesart of course I can’t wait to see more of your work it’s so beautiful also it is so motivational especially when idk what to do or how to go about things!💕 much love and I am so happy I found your channel!!!!💕✨
Hi my friend. Thanks for the great video you shared with us. very interesting video really great. I love it. Thanks for sharing the video please keep in touch. Keep posting the videos I follow, .💖💗 .💖.💗.💖,, .💞.,
I like both of them, but the shadows look monochromatic. They should go from colorful shadow to neutral shadow. That might help get some depth. I like to premix my base colors just for convenience, but of course, adjust them as you need. I'll try and save the original mixture by storing in the freezer and then using over and over until the painting is finished. But you should do whatever works best for you.
Ah yes! 😊 That was definitely my issue with the shadows! I got a little stuck in my head with some rules that had once been taught to me (never mix blue or black in the shadows, etc.) I think this really tripped me up because although face shadows are often very warm, they do need to be desaturated or cooler sometimes. The more time I spend painting, the more I'm realizing that there is so much to learn and also SO much to unlearn! It's all about finding what works for us rather than following some formula! Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment Janet! I'm going to give the freezer trick a try ✨
@@emhuesart I've heard that rule about not adding blue or black, but sometimes you needs just a pinch. Mostly I just add the complement - green - to cancel out the reds. I think the flesh color leans towards orange, so I try adding a blue leaning green as the complement, and it works a lot better than adding a yellow leaning green like olive. Adding complements does something special; even though it may mix up to a brown or black - it's like you can still see both colors in there.
