Starting a Painting with a Concept in Mind. A Corner of My Mind.
The beginning is very important, that is why a spent sometime preparing a sketch before starting the painting. I am trying to paint the un-paintable...the subject is the corner of my mind where invasive thoughts appear spontaneously and conglomerate thinking about the past.

    Just started Oil Painting. I’m very happy I’m taking the time learning from the Masters of the craft who have studied a great deal to also pass the knowledge on . Especially happy to find that people still care about true Quality that will stand the test of time. Hope I’ll be able to meet some of you great Artists in my lifetime.

    Nice demo Cesar. Question: Do you take measurements when drawing a head or do you just "eye ball it" as they say? It looks here like you're using the Andrew Loomis method for drawing a head.

  • @fernanddurler4709
    @fernanddurler4709 Před 17 dny

    Thx great tutorial however would be better if you could use an in situ demo painting plain air perhaps …it appears most artists online seem to use modern tech to mix colour/shade/value studies by purely copying or scanning their colours off AI images found online …few artists seem to rely solely on plain air adn spend most time in studio fine tuning from photographs. Its off because a camera perspective is different to the human eye and if one is not well versed in correct lenses then most of the time one would be left with a distorted ‘truth’ of what one is actually seeing in real life compositions. ? It’s all too confusing. Knowing just how successful full time artists create from start to finish …most tutors tend to rely on online tutorials and or teaching at schools for a living so a new artist only sees snippets of the process and not the full uninterrupted final product that actually sells and makes money. Sorry Im rattling on a bit …but most tutors are too academic and not real life artists teaching whilst they are creating their own works ….there is a big difference no or am I misunderstanding a heck of a lot of videos I have watched for years, still battling to ‘apply’ value blocking in and colour selection …
