    Nice work, both recreating the process, and seeing it through to a spectacular result!! Makes me want to start playing with mirrors!!

      Thanks a lot! To be honest, even if I am happy with the result, I don’t find the mirror technique very practical. Having said that, I was able to learn a lot: for example that flat surfaces are not always even colorwise. The same wall can go from very dark to very light! I guess our eyes tend to correct and smooth things out… 😋

    I wonder how Vermeer would have used the tools and art products of today. I imagine how his eye and hand would have transformed the picture. Awesome painting as usual. Thanks

    • @mygeekfamilycotton
      @mygeekfamilycotton  Před měsícem

      Thanks Robert! Well, you know, I am not sure the tools have changed that much… sure, chemicals have given us safer colors and more mediums with fantastic effects, but you still have a canvas and a brush, in the end…

      I really loved that « hippie life » of yours, man! There is plenty to learn out there, very often just by looking at the brushstrokes. Then we can incorporate those in our own styles!

    youtube suggested your channel today, and I have watched a few. I enjoy you informative and entertaining format and your breaking down of painting technique. I can't understand why you don't have more views because your videos are very good ( I will tell my friends and family). Jean Charlot went to mexico and here in hawaii and had a lot of impressive murals & paintings it would be interesting if you would do a video delve into his artistry. Aloha.

      It is a very interesting technique, but I honestly don’t think it is for me. It allows you to create very accurate works, but you lose the « fun of the chase » in trying to make your picture emerge from a blob of paint… 😋

    @thornfree1967 Před 2 měsíci

    I don't quite understand how you can see where to make brushstrokes when you're looking at the mirror. Wouldn't the mirror be in your line of sight blocking the view of a canvas?

    • @mygeekfamilycotton
      @mygeekfamilycotton  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Yes, you have to go back and forth to see where the brush stroke is going. Also, just at the edge, you can see how the reality checks with the brushstrokes you already laid on the canvas. It is a long game of comparison between your canvas and the model, which is why I find it very strenuous on the eyes…

    Hello, what paper are you using?

    • @mygeekfamilycotton
      @mygeekfamilycotton  Před měsícem +1

      Hi Sakura, it is an acid free watercolor paper (300gsm) by Derwent. What I find interesting is the canvas texture on the surface, that can replicate a painting on an actual canvas in linen or cotton.
