The Alla Prima Portrait: DVD Excerpts. This clip shows several minutes segments from the dvd by painter Robert Liberace. More info at www.robertliberace.com.
Finally I found a normal lesson on writing sketches . You portray a living person on the canvas , not copying nature. How beautiful it is . It is a pity that so few good videos on RU-vid .
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.
Oh my gosh. What an incredible portrait. The set up was actually masterful and colourful too. A very complimentary scheme! That man was a great model as well. Wonderful explanation.
Really happy I finally got to meet you today, it's so wild I like have a copy of this painting that I did when I was younger, taught me a lot honestly. I thank you :)
Hey Gil, Great seeing you at Cooper. Congratulations on your success there. Your family must be proud. Saw some of your work, looks intense--loved especially your Sumo wrestlers and your early Chuck Close-like portrait. Hope to see you again soon
Very impressive demo. Liberace has the qualities of mark that I love. His "bravura" brushstrokes are reminiscent of the Munich school but his palette is lighter. I have always found doing a loose tonal underpainting to be very helpful. In the first minutes of this clip the form is established through the use of tone. Although his marks are loose he never sacrifices accuracy of the drawing. The idea of drawing with paint is very evident here. Great stuff!!
Wtf! Was that? No wonder I like this artist's artworks. Now seeing this snippet of him actually rocking this canvas (never seen him in action) just blows my mind away! Amazing!👊👊
super...wish it was longer! I would love to see the eyes from start to finish. Excellent...you also show that art is fun! This is the secret artists know ! lol!
@@lulilua9603 Its a discipline to keep stepping back to take in the picture as a whole - Its very easy to get sucked into detail ( especially if you're working from a photograph) so you loose sight of the wood for the trees
nice someone which use emotion on pictures , many which paint portraits ... the picture looks death on the end ......great work.. and also for the short time.

Wonderful!y robliberace Question: what do you use other then turpentine as a medium to thin out the paint? linseed oil? I heard Liquin was good, and minimizes glare. I have an issue with glare and have tried many things, and am having a bit of a hard time. Would really appreciate some advice. Thanks! Pablo
