Hello, my name is Alfieri and I am from Peru. It is clear how to prepare the paper and transfer the drawing. I copied the wax emulsion formula, but you need to tell me how to use it for grisaille. Is it a kind of medium?...what purpose does it serve?...and I'm sorry to say that it is very toxic due to the ammonia. I'll see if it can be replaced with another substance. I would be very grateful if you could clarify this.
Moore Susan Perez Jennifer Martin Shirley
Thank you very much for this tutorial...very helpful ,i will try 🥰🥰🥰
This was wonderful to watch. Two years ago I was dealing with early treatment for drug addiction and spent a lot of time in the programs art room. The head art therapist showed some of clients males and females how to stretch canvas I was reminded of how the process is apart of painting. Glad tidings.❤

A good resource you can look at is the Asaro head (it's a face broken up into planes like she demonstrates). The awesome thing is you can find 3d models of it on a site called sketchfab which you can move around on the viewer of the site itself, worth checking out. Very good video, thank you!
Can you share tips on how you die your paper with tea? Mine is always unusable as it makes pencil to leave bad stains
Hi, I have a quick question. In a point of the video (6:42) you recommend a book by an author. I can't seem to understand what you said. Would you be able to tell me in written note here? Thanks a lot for your amazing work.
Hi) thank you! Oh Its book by Gottfried Bammes - anatomy for artists
The Quality of the work is fantastic art like a lot of other pursuits seems you get out of it what you are willing to put into it it's not easy for a reason...great videos ..

Very interesting, professional. Russian art schools inspire with their high standards. Do you know how one could order the white gips figures & co used for studies?
I just like to say how much I adore the russian knowledge and culture Me as a german was never aducated in your tresors.. Now I start to discover in youtube ❤ ❤❤❤

Italian academy of fine arts student here❤ love these art vids as a fellow art student Curious, why do they have an Italian class? How can a foreign deal with language barrier at the academy?
@@Anastasiabruno Heeey))thank you❤️ we can study Italian as an elective) and foreigns study Russian language, but its not elective its compulsory subject
Amazing video
Thank you))
Great video. In future would love to hear the teaching philosophy and advice of the teachers at the academy on figure painting compositions ... how to unify the colours and how to paint shapes and relationships and not 'things' ... etc :)
This is incredibly helpful, thank you. ✌️
This is amazing, thank you for this. If I’m not asking much, can you please make a video on shading techniques, mostly hatching. Thank you.
Thank you! Sure)

Heey) oh its from russian marketplace but I also saw them in art shops
AMAZING. I can't believe I'm watching this for free!! I will be drawing your face with those drawn planes many many times - it really struck me, I feel like I can finally understand it better ... and perhaps I even order a model of the skull from the internet
Thanking you. You are a skilled drawer
Thank you for kind words❤️ and wishing you great progress and success!

Thank you!))
Do they have online school or just onsite? I’d love to know ❤
@@LiyahsGetaway no, but there is summer school for foreigners
@@ksyelf5820 ok thanks
HI Lokteva! Great lesson. I just have to say this that I always had huge admiration for the Russian Method of Drawings and Paintings. No doubts its the best in the world (in my humble opinion) But lately I have been trying to mimic those approach myself. Sure it all begins from understanding of underlying structure and anatomy and following a certain pathway as everyone talks about , But i could rarely find any artist from Russian Academics on You tube actually demonstrating their ways of doing art. So I am finally glad to find your channel and I am looking forward to learn a lot from u. (Btw the closest i have been to understanding the Russian academic approach was that 2 hour live model demo of Iliya Mirochnik on New Master Academy Channel. Watched that same demo bazillion of times. LOL)
I just discovered this channel! To show support I’m going to have to watch all the way from the beginning and drop a like and comment! Very beautiful piece btw. (P.S I’ve just started drawing myself)
Thank you all of your videos are great and this video is also useful keep working and I also hope from you another new video about art
Thank you)))
Thankyou verymuch.mam

I have a question about the dry bread crumbs.... Is it just stale bread or do you have to do something to dry them out?
Ahhh I’ve been waiting for you to post!!
Great video! What is the pricing for your online classes?
You are absolutely right. Acquiring tremendous skill in rendering a form beautifully and with utmost mastery cannot be the goal of an artist, though the skill is very much necessary. It is important to develop a vision. Studying Nature , people and thinking deeply to find one's own voice is the way to develop. There's no short cut to it.
Thank you so much for this it was so helpful!! Are there any books you recommend that have a collection of just Russian painters? In the UK we have books with many painters for one art movement and it makes it easier to find artists you like so you can later buy books that have the master works of your favorite artist. I am struggling to find many books on Russian painters here, especially those that came from the Repin school 😩
@@neatoburritos Thank you)) Oh, I prefer to take a whole book dedicated to a specific artist, there are very good editions from the Tretyakov Gallery, I think they should be somewhere on the Internet
so many fantastic tips 😊😊
