    This is the first time I tried a Bouguereau. He lived in the 19th century and so I took pigments from this time. For example my lead white I mixed 50/50 with zinc white and used also colours like prussian blue.
    Bouguereau usually started on a grey ground. Next time I will try this.
    The clips I filmed with two mobile phones. The start and the end is made with a Huawei P30 pro, the middle part with an Iphone 11 Pro Max. I was surprised about the bad quality from the Iphone when I watched on a bigger screen. After this I changed back to the Huawei.
    The last picture shows my painting in real colours.
    A lot you asked me, which brand of paint I use. I make my own paint. It´s made of pure pigment and linseed or safflower oil in organic quality. There are no fillers in like plaster, chalk, baryt or wax. Also there are no additional things in like siccatives. Only the pure pigment und oil, like the Old Masters did.

    The painting is amazing, but the background music is what i assume would play when u see a documentary about two jaguars making deep long love in the jungle

    Interestingly according to Virgil Elliot, Bouguereau did not follow the Venetian method of Grisaille + colored glazes but started with a flat wash of a slightly too saturated fleshy mid tone and then added semiopaque greyish shadows and highlights on top. But this looks very nice nonetheless!

      j s so you saying you cant learn how to do something? We are on this earth for roughly 80 years, but the only people that can paint like this are people that “have it”? Thats kind of a stupid outlook, unless im misunrderstanding

    •  Před 3 lety

      Thats like saying you want to learn compose music like Mozart. You either have the capacity for that level of talent or you don't. You're born with it or you aren't. Otherwise you're just mediocre with the potential to improve a little but will never reach the levels of those masters.

    Hello! Greetings from México, i speak spanish so i hope you excuse my grammar mistakes. I'm 19 years and i'm an architecture student, but painting is one of my favorite activities. I've seen all of your videos and belive me, I'm amazed with your techique, i got many questions about this and other of your paintings, i'd be pretty glad if you answered me. In the case of this portrait do you completely let dry the layer of black/white/gray tones to apply the skin tones? or you continue painting the layer of "colors" when the base is still fresh? Do you have any social networks? i would love to follow you. Thank you very much!

    • @oldmasterpaintings5070
      @oldmasterpaintings5070  Před 4 lety +27

      Yes, I let always the layers dry completely. There is no wet in wet painting. Everytime the position of the camera changes a bit it´s a new session. Here there were about 9-10 short sessions at all.
      I have social network accounts but don´t spend much time with it for the moment. Like more to paint and sit on the easel.

      @@oldmasterpaintings5070 good choice great painting , loads of flesh ,red and blues.
      would be expensive if you used lapis lazuli pigment which i think rubens would have used to get that amazing blue gray background.
      or do you think he would have used something else.

  • @petvuk
    @petvuk Před 2 lety +1

    very nice end result. How many layers is this? When i put more than 2-3 layers the whole painting falls apart, I am very new to painting with oils so I have no clue what i do wrong, but I also dont understand how this portrait with so many layers ended up so nice. Please, explain! I mean her face color changed at least 3 times , was this planned/needed or just such spontaneous style of correcting until it's all good? Because i noticed some artists paint in only 1 or 2 layer, lot of careful planning. For now this is only thing that works for me
