About me (bio) :

I am an artist living and working in France. I learned the techniques of the Atelier of the Nineteenth century and now I try to share some of my knowledge with the rest of the world, because I think that beauty still has an important role to play in artistic creation.

Thanks for watching !
I do this all the time and it helps me a lot. I was horribly stuck on several paintings that I couldn't finish. Through contemplation, I relaized that I am a narrative artist and if there is no story, I don't know what to do. I am not able to just make pictures of beautiful things or landscapes.I was trying to paint just what was in front of me to develop skills---but had to take a rather long break from that. There has to be at least symbolism and a tale to tell. Once I figured that out, the pieces went forward to a happy ending.
Thank you for your comment. I didn't realize what kind of artist I was until I read your comment. It resonates with me that I am a Narative artist.
@@trinab1581 Glad to be of help!
While I didn't share the narrative path, at first, I get it, my stop gap was, and becoming less and less, is observation skills. I thought I had a it all worked out, until you start to paint and realize my narrative idea, which I thought was initially awesome, doesn't work because of the positioning and color schemes. I now stare and study and plan out way more than before, it helps me greatly now. I still change things, but compositional setup is so important. Your note resonated with me because I have those 3 paintings that went nowhere for 3 years! yikes, but just could not get past, have to fix this, why isn't this working? Now, they are coming together and one is already done. Because I was mentallly stuck on composition. As artists, we are always learning new ways that work for us. For me, I have two modes, paint a waterscape ocean for its beauty to me to express, but narratively, my paintings from my imagination HAVE to HAVE a narrative. I get it:)
@@rolandlemus203 I have to plan more than before because I want to create effects that depend on the underpainting and certain values being in certain places. I don;t do grisaille, but abstract underpaintings, but those have to have the narrative in mind to work out.
@@trinab1581 I'm glad it helped.
I find taking a photo of my work-in-progress as helpful. It gives me a better view of the piece as a whole. It's similar to stepping back from the painting, but it's seeing the piece from even further away -- much further than my room would allow.
One of your best videos. This is so important! What is art without contemplating?
Working smarter. . . not harder! YES!
I paint in natural light and I find, if I wait until dusk - then it gives me another perspective - perhaps it is similar to squinting your eyes. I find if I meditate on the painting in half dark, I get some good ideas as to what to work on next.
So true. I always feel rushed to get my easel set up and start painting. I will try this. Writing notes definitely helps when solving complex problems. I do this for other projects at home and at work so why not use this approach for paintings too? Very interesting to hear your thoughts Florent thank you 👍
Excellent suggestion. You will naturally visualize ( in small or maybe big ways) your actions that are inspired during this time. And we know the power of visualization
Nice. Thank you Florent!
I do this all the time. It also helps to break through procrastination, insecurity, fear, etc.
It helps set me into the zone.
Same for me exactly! Its kind of necessary for me.
6:05 I have a massive 4 ft by 5 ft painting that I'm painting in all four directions. Constantly rotating it and is driving me mad. I'll be done in nine years.
Monsieur Farges always produces good ideas. That's something I had never thought about. Definitely I will give it a go. Thanks.
So satisfying finding someone who answers all your questions and is willing to share their vast amount of knowledge with us❤thank you
Thank you! A valuable lesson for me at this time!
Your artwork amazing to me. I dont think I could paint so realistically. Kudos!
Bon travail j aime beaucoup 😊
Florent, your video itself has an impressive design. At 3:50, you appear as an organic part of the whole composition, standing in front of your painting.
As long as I don't have to take my notes in French, I'll be fine. I currently have a painting that keeps trying to twist and escape under my hands and I'm about to give up on this one and simply move on to something else for now.
Thank you for sharing your observations, Florent! It is good to slow down & contemplate one's work. Enjoy your family time!
Great post. So helpful.
Great video as always
Excellent. Post
I do this, too. I learned it from Agnes Martin who was famous for long periods of contemplating her work.
This is great advice for all kinds of creativity I think.
Great lesson. Tanks a lot, master.
Excellent. Now, do you think your life deserves the same? I do. I suppose this is what meditation is all about. Be still, get a front row seat and enjoy the show. Merci mon ami.

If only we had Jeff's perspective. 😂
And multiple eyes
I can't stop staring at that red facial hair.
My Lv 1 painter brain watching a Lv 10, 000 painter give advice...
😰 What?
