  • Today I'm creating an alla prima oil painting of Lois van Baarle, aka Loish, in the style of John Singer Sargent. I'll also be talking about a breakthrough I had with this piece, achieving flow state while painting, and how I adapted a technique from artist Suchitra Bhosle to make that happen.
    To see Loish's tweet that prompted this video and to follow her on Twitter, click here: / 1261055609211936768

    As a portrait painter myself, Sargent is one of my idols. Thanks for showing the reference photo -- always helpful to see.

    Quite Sargentistic, Chelsea! You can definitely see it in the eyes, an economy of brush strokes. Wonderful job!!!

      Thank you Shawn! :D Sargentistic? The highest of compliments! Now to just keep making paintings that push even closer to that goal.

    I premix a whole tube of paint in a tiny mason jar with a slow drying recipe of different mediums. Learned from Mark Carder. I'm still a beginner, but it's what I started with. Red, blue, yellow, burnt umber and white are all I use. So of course I'm mixing lots of my own colors!

    Such a cute little girl. I'm so happy you took the time to capture her sweet face.
    Also, i rarely use oil. medium. Just gamsole all the way until the end awhich is the only time I use straight paint. I am interested in trying to mix some oil with it now.
    Thanks for this insight. You are very generous with your help.

  • @lalagonegaga
    @lalagonegaga Před 3 lety +5

    Sargent basically just used linseed oil so you shouldn't be too worried about the medium.

      Eeeee! Thank you! :D Now to just put in 10,000 more hours toward that end. 😂 Also, yes -- that floral piece is slowly but surely coming along. I can't wait until it's done and I can share it outside of Patreon!

    I used to layout a penciled grid to ensure correct placement of the subjects' facial features but found this tedious...now I use a comparator mirror to get the face right and go from there. It's much faster and a simple comparator mirror setup can be constructed easily. What are your thoughts on using such a device? I enjoy your videos. Ken in the Philippines.

  • @johnlock637
    @johnlock637 Před 3 lety +2

    Hope you don't take this as overly critical as I enjoy your videos and artwork. But, in claiming to be an alla prima painter, you state that this painting (done in one sitting start to finsh)wasn't usual for you. That is what "alla prima" or " wet on wet" is. It's not simply painting in an expressive or loose style. That said, this painting was an excellent example of "alla prima " painting. Beautiful work, look forward to seeing more.
