- Welcome to Part 2 of the Master Copy of William Adolphe Bouguereau's "The Prayer." Today we will prepare the oil painting palette then move into painting following the Selective Start method.

We will be zooming in on the face. I just love the expression.

In the last Bouguereau master copy, I painted a monochrome under-painting first. Today I want to see how well I can paint a master copy following the Selective Start method. Also we will learn to mix classical skin tones like those painted by the masters.
In part 1, we analyzed the skin tones painted by Bouguereau using Photoshop. We will be referring to that image while mixing the skin tones for our palette.
Have you ever been working on a painting and something just seems off but you can't put your finger on it? Well I have a 6 question guide that will help you figure it out!

Magnifique Merci beaucoup Shelly Merci pour vos explications Merci pour tout.
You are very welcome 🙏🏻🌼👩🏼🎨
Beautiful art and equally beautiful way you explained the whole process. Thanks
Thank you for letting me know 🙏🏻 I greatly appreciate you 😊
It's hard seeing all these mean comments or the ones focusing on the "how to...?", instead of trying to understand the whole concept. I started to paint recently, in digital, but I try to replicate the color mixtures so when I get to paint with real oils and so, I can do it on my own instead of just "color picking" digital, cause I think part of painting is the freedom and enjoying the process, making it your own work and understanding how things work instead of just trying to copy to look good and not to enjoy the process. Really good videos! Appreciate your passion into arts and the whole work put in your videos. Thanks for sharing the knowledge! ♥
Hi Ivan. Thanks so much 🙏🏻 You are why I keep making videos. Keep painting! That’s the best teacher 👩🏼🎨✌🏻
Bellissima Opera. Complimenti Sinceri.!!!!!!!!!!!
The music is also gorgeous as the paint
Thank you 😊
This is such a well studied, well narrated, informative video... and that too you are simply sharing the knowledge for no fees...unlike the "Bold painting" adverts that are doing the rounds these days on CZcams.
Thank you kindly! I truly want to help anyone looking to learn portrait painting. I remember how difficult it was for me to find the info that I needed to become a better painter. My turn to give back! :)
Thank you for this video! This is beautiful! 💙
Hi Derek! Thank you so much for your comment 😊 I’m thinking I should do another master copy soon 👩🏼🎨 🙏🏻
@@ShellyJCoxArtist Thanks so much for your reply! Your channel is great I just subscribed! CZcams recommended your video as I've been searching everything Bouguereau! lol Thanks again! 💙
Very nice colors and brushwork, looks like an el greco
Thank you so much! I’m still working to pull some of this into my own work 😊🙏🏻👩🏼🎨
@@ShellyJCoxArtist Best of luck 🥰😚
Shelly, you are a superb teacher, very smart and knowledgeable I think, and of course quite generous to give all this time. At 0:58 on the Bouguereau "The Prayer" Part II lesson you show the tube paints you started with. I can't make out what you called the light yellow lying on the palette between Titanium White and Yellow Ochre. The best I can hear with my 75 yr. old ears was "painful" yellow. It looks like a pale Naples Yellow. My curiosity and obsessiveness drive me to ask you clarify the name and brand for me.
Hi Bob. Thank you so much for your kind words🙏🏻. The oil color is Naples Yellow Light by Winsor & Newton. Happy painting 😀👩🏼🎨🎨
Very good
Thank you 🙏🏻
My left ear enjoyed your voice
Aw Thank you! That’s so nice to hear. 😊🙏🏻
@@ShellyJCoxArtist actually I wanted to point out that it would be very convenient for you to invest in a microphone (small lavalier is great). Your voice was only in left channel. It should be in both.
But! I enjoyed the video and I am waiting for more!
@@piotrgurgul7977 oh no. I do have a good mic. The Yeti. Maybe it’s something to do with how I have it set up. I will look into it. Thanks
@@ShellyJCoxArtist oh, so in post you should set it as Mono sound.
Loving the process. Audio and video are very clear
I wonder if one wants to copy a bougueruaeu do we need to use exact same colors he did like vermillion?
Hi. So the idea of a “copy” is to try to use the exact colors and follow the same process as the master painter. However I prefer a master “study” so that I may see if I can get a similar look using the colors I choose and following the selective start method. So have fun with it! 🎨😉
@@ShellyJCoxArtist thanks i think i will try a study as well with the m harding colors i have such as cad red light / yellow ultra blue burnt umber titanium white etc as the vermllion seems expensive
@@seemains8328 those paint colors should give you very close results. I’d love to see your painting when it’s done!😀
I am a painter, but I find it difficult to get tools and colors. Can you send me colors and tools that you do not need, please?
Hi Siya. I don’t have any to send now. But where do you live?
The name of the musical background please
Hi Joseph. I believe it is Bellisimo.
@@ShellyJCoxArtist thank you Mme...in 31:27 the music is bellissimo also? I noticed a change ..another music
@@josephmagdi1577 I get my music from the CZcams music library. I’m sorry but I can’t remember which music I selected for the whole vid.
Nice master study, master copies are what forger's do. And you have to use the masters method , bouguereau didn't paint that way.
Hi Duan. I know right. I like to experiment with mixing my own technique with the masters to see how close I can get to the look of the original. It’s fun. Thanks 🙏🏻
@@ShellyJCoxArtist I found the selective start technique you talked about quite interesting. And I don't see anyone online doing tutorials using this technique , hint , hint 🙂👌. And you explain it so well. I wish you the best being one of the very few that I've ever seen head lining this technique in their tutorials.
I love the attention you pay to detail and your passion for the work. As a teacher myself I wish you continued excellence and nothing less.
Colors are too cool compare to the model , I used your exact method to replicate colors before but the monitor is not as sensitive to colors as we want
Hi Alireza. Yes that is so true. You can glaze over your dried painting with a transparent warm color to make it warmer. Thanks for watching and sending your comment. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👩🏼🎨
What programme do you use make the palette ?
Hi Deborah. Thank you for subscribing 🙏🏻 I use Photoshop to analyze the ref. image and make a digital palette 🎨. I love finding out all the colors. Sometimes I’m so surprised. Happy Holidays 😊
@@ShellyJCoxArtist thank you. Xx how do you know which colours to mix to get the right colour. Do you thnk that the computer illuminates too much?
@@deborahgonzalezknight168 Hi Deborah. I start mixing a color by asking myself is it more red, yellow or blue? I start with the answered color. Then ask what value is it... light, middle, or dark? If light add white, if middle maybe add a complimentary color tone down saturation, if dark add a dark color. Yes the monitor will brighten colors but still gives you a great place to begin. Also making color charts is helpful when learning to mix colors. I will make a video soon to discuss this topic further 😀
Please tell me the name of the music in video 19:47
Hi. The music is from the CZcams library in the classical selection its called Bellissimo
@@ShellyJCoxArtist thank you very much
where can I find part 1?
czcams.com/video/g-nRkRYGAKc/video.html
@@ShellyJCoxArtist Thanks Shelly. I don't have Photoshop but I do use GIMP which must do something similar. Selective start without a guide drawing frightens the life out of me. Maybe I could do a Grisaille underpainting?
Yes I would start with an underpainting. It will give you more confidence before attacking the color problems.
First 20 minutes needed condensing.
Yes this is one of my first videos. I think I am getting better at getting right to the point!..at least I hope so. Thanks for your input.
I don't think so. First 20min that's the part you can learn something from. Rest it's just nice to watch and listen music.
@@MarysJanuszPazdzioch Thanks so much for your comment Luki 🙏🏻😊🎨
The likeness is good but what is the reason you do not try to copy his style that really doesn’t show as much brush strokes, especially in the very rich skin tones that almost glow. We have an original of his in the New Orleans art museum. Do not know the name but it Shows a young woman with two cherubs. I want to able to render skin tones like he does. Your video shows how to get a likeness and mix colors but fails to make a real copy. Of course, I understand that your work is alla prima and only took 4 hours which I suspect Bouguereau took much longer. You work us much better than mine by far. But if you want to copy a Bouguereau you have to copy his style as well.
Hi Robert. Yes you are right about a copy. What I should have called it was a “study”. I did this one to practice mixing skin tones. I wanted to see if I could get close to his. Bouguereau’s flesh is just so luminous. Thank you for your thoughts. I will be sure to use the word study next time 😊🙏🏻👩🏼🎨
Each brush strokes gotta touch the last n be a complete representative of the final painting is why the end result looks like a "painting by numbers" over a tracing. Don't like this technique and Sbchmidts work is kitchsey n over rated.
Hi Mart. I understand your point. I like the idea of trying new techniques and then putting my own spin on them. Sometimes exploring a new way leads us to improve our own technique. Thanks for your thoughts 🙏🏻.
Speak louder, please. In the beginning it was not possible to hear you. I feel I missed something.
Got cha! Will turn it up !
Excuse me but you are just ....ing
Thank you...I think...lol
What??
