Some of these clips are not in chronological order but focus on a particular area of the head. This final video is about the hair, hand and drapery. Thanks for watching:)

Bouguereau’s career was nearly a direct ascent with hardly a setback. To many, he epitomized taste and refinement, and a respect for tradition. To others, he was a competent technician stuck in the past. Degas and his associates used the term "Bouguereauté" in a derogatory manner to describe any artistic style reliant on "slick and artificial surfaces", also known as a licked finish. In an 1872 letter, Degas wrote that he strove to emulate Bouguereau's ordered and productive working style, although with Degas' famous trenchant wit, and the aesthetic tendencies of the Impressionists, it is possible the statement was meant to be ironic. Paul Gauguin loathed him, rating him a round zero in Racontars de Rapin and later describing in Avant et après (Intimate Journals) the single occasion when Bouguereau made him smile on coming across a couple of his paintings in an Arles' brothel, "where they belonged".

Anything that Bouguereau did is extremely difficult to mimic let alone "copy". You did a very good job with this attempt. You should be well pleased!
You got the colors and values spot on, well done
Love your works man, I cant waste if you ever make something in a large scale. Your paintings are magnificent.
Thank you very much!
Wow! That's amazing to watch. Thanks for all those close ups, comparisons and techniques you shared with us. A lot of work to paint, record and edit. It's greatly appreciated.
Thx, glad you enjoyed it:)
Спасибо за ваш труд и щедрость поделиться с нами !
Thank you so much for sharing
Really amazing !! You captured Bouguereau's unique talent.
Thank you Alexis!
Geweldig heel goed te volgen ,dank je wel👍👍👍
So so so beautifully done👌👌
Many thanks:)
以前、ブクローの絵を実物で見たことがあるのですが、筆のタッチがとても似ています。研究され尽くしていて本当に素晴らしい！
Thank you:)
I love the Old Masters; it took skills in using raw pigments to canvas often under a candleight. To each his own on the other genres' of style but I prefer to look at this stuff. Don't know anything about you but my guess is that you've been doing this for 40+ years? Your command of values is shocking, even your guesswork to the original makes me grin. This is mesmerizing to watch. Well done work!
Thanks for the kind words, saturnia22:)
Woooow
Amazing a detailed patreon or other vid would be good
jeez you picked probably the hardest artist to try and copy he was so secretive about his technique even his fellow contemporary artist back in the day disliked him for not sharing
I love your work l would like to see tutorials and copies of paintings by Rembrandt or veermer
Thanks pablo hoyos, will be doing that soon.
How do you dilute your paints? They look pretty fluid but still opaque at the same time. Thanks!
Thanks OLEG LITVAK. Here I added a generous amount of walnut oil with a drop of Alkyd medium occasionally if I needed to speed drying time.
@@olddirtymasters Thanks!
No sound?
Lovely painting. I think this is a very good reproduction.
Thank you S R:)
Congratulations on even attempting a Bouguereau, as you're trying to replicate one of the most accomplished masters of 19th. century painting.
The problem with endeavouring to produce a decent rendition is that it can end up looking rather contrived.
For example; faced with the challenge of painting material it's probably better to fully understand the 'physics' of cloth et al rather than try and copy every fold and crease. Once you've mastered the formula, if you like, then you're no longer captive to the laborious effort needed to produce a worthwhile reproduction: you can do your own version.
Lawrence Alma-Tadema, John William Godward, Lord Frederick Leighton, Albert Joseph Moore, John Mayer Collier and Sir Edward John Poynter were very successful during the same period of time as Bouguereau but all had a slightly different, but very successful style.
Well done anyway!
The armchair expert commenting 🙄. Let’s see you try it.

In the world that I frequent people are perfectly entitled to make a comment or express an opinion on all things; art included.
You in turn are expressing your opinion with regards to my comment. As far as as being an "armchair expert" goes I won't be drawn into any sort of dialogue with you as I've no wish to divulge my skills as an artist with someone who obviously condemns free speech, but who, hypocritically, uses it to censor others!
@@NickPenlee I’m not censoring you. Like you I’m entitled to my own opinion. Prove you’re a competent artist qualified to pass judgement by leaving your website below. If not - armchair expert.
@@MsCristina38
Just a moment.
I don't have to prove anything to YOU and I hasten to add that one doesn't have to be an "expert" to air an opinion on any given topic.
I know of people who have visited the Louvre expressly with the purpose of seeing the Mona Lisa, only to be disappointed at its size and overall appearance. Do they have the same artistic prowess as Da Vinci! No, they'll admit to the fact; but it still didn't prohibit them from passing a fairly unflattering opinion.
Statistically there has to be a percentage of visitors to art galleries all over the world who opine a negative comment about some of the greatest artists in the world. Would you call them "armchair" experts?
What about yourself? Do you hold ALL artists in high esteem? From Cimabue to the Pollack/Klees era and all 'isms' in between?
When, perhaps in times past, you've found yourself disparaging a painting or sculpture do you consider yourself guilty of an attack on the artist for merely airing your viewpoint?
My bet is that you like some genres of music but have a distinct dislike of certain artists or bands; we all do, whether it's Hip Hop, R&B, Disco, Rap or Jazz. But if you think that someone has to be a Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Lady Gaga or Bruno Mars, (even Beethoven or Bach), to pass a judgement then you're the only one I've met who does! The notion of an
"armchair expert" does not exist.
No! One does not have to be an 'expert' on ANYTHING to qualify for the right to agree or disagree with others and it's a sad indictment of your character to think otherwise. Chastise me all you want but I won't be entering into any future dialogue with you on this as I find your attitude to free expression quite repressive!
PS:- And, it's a rhetorical question, but why should I have a website? Does everybody have one these days? Damn, I must have missed that!
Regards.
@@NickPenlee So in other you can’t prove your an expert at art but you’re an expert at critiquing it 🙄 Those who can, do. Those who can’t criticize.
