- In this video I make a copy of a Velázquez's Lady with a Fan, 1638. This painting in the Wallace Collection in London has been a favorite of mine and here I try to learn more about it by doing a master copy over the course of a few days. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you enjoyed this video and would like to see more art videos like this in the future.

More information from the Wallace Collection's site:
As court painter to King Philip IV of Spain, Diego Velázquez created consummate portraits of the Spanish royal family and the high nobility. The Lady with a Fan is one of his most famous and enigmatic portraits. Long believed to represent a Spanish lady, recent studies have suggested that the sitter may have been French and not Spanish. The only Frenchwoman known to have been painted by Velázquez was the Duchess of Chevreuse, intimate friend of the Spanish-born Queen of France, Anne of Austria. Her political conspiring brought her the enmity of the powerful Cardinal Richelieu and, in 1637, forced her to escape to Spain. In the Devonshire Collection at Chatsworth is another portrait of the same woman, probably slightly younger, in a much more modest pose and clearly Spanish dress. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Thank you so much for allowing us into your space and for being gracious enough to take the time to show and teach by example. Lovely, powerful work!
Thank you Alan:)
A year ago I watched this video..and watching it again today…still so in awe of your talent and it’s been a year of me still struggling to paint portraits. Your videos push me to try harder and keep going with the painting in oils process. Thank you 🙏😌
Kind of you to say, thanks:) good luck to you!
Old paintings crack...and thatakes them so beautiful I guess. Great job on your copy
Velazuez is impressive . I have seen his originals in 'El Prado'(MUST see) and for me he is head and shoulders above his contemporaries. Great job you're doing!
Agree with you. Thanks Jonathan:)
How skillfully you put the expression in the eyes in place. My hands shiver whenever I paint eyes.
I loved the attention to minute details and blending of colours to produce the reflected light without compromising on the expression on the face. Marvellous!
Thank you Sebastian Dsouza:)
Exceptional work! Fascinating to watch. Really appreciate your written text comments 👌
Thank you Jonathan:) Glad you enjoyed it.
I love to watch and see how you solve the secrets, and recreate. Thank you
wow amazing. thanks for sharing these studies.
While I would not call this a poor copy of the original, I think it should be clear to everyone that Velasquez is so incredibly capable that no one can approach his "felt" technique. This is exactly why the word "ineffable" exists. In the end, the best painting is about expressing the inner genius, insights, nuances and emotions of the original artist. This is why the cream always rises to the top. It cannot be simulated.
Very nice copy.
So few copist try to paint from the inner to the surface. seeing you in action is always amazing. Certainly the best art channel of the place. Bravo !
🙏Thank you Madjid CHOUARBI:)
A perfect reproduction of Velazquez `s work of Art !
Thank you MrSilva960:)
This ainting example of this master-work is so incredible. I am color-blind in the problem areas of red/green, so, I have relate my colors to my knowledge of the grey-scales. I have tried to identify the suble changes in the face, depending on where the lights are, but I have so much left to learn. Thank you, this demonstration is helpful, but the dialog along with it would be helpful. I am attempting to paint an oil portrait of my 4 year old granddaughter, but it isn't going very well. I wish there could be a way of sending an image of my painting so I could receive some valuable help. Thank you for this incredible lesson,

Another fine piece of work my friend, you never cease to amaze me.People seem to always want to know who you are, I think it is better to keep your anonymity, your art speaks of who you are a very talented individual. Good on you:)
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for your kind words.
Another superb reproduction....amazing
love your work
Magnifique execution ! Votre travail est fascinant et le résultat magistral ! Merci pour ce moment exceptionnel ! Et bravo !!!
Merci Marc Auréle pour votre gentille remarque. (Excusez mon français:)
Velazquez would have been proud of you. Amazing art. Congratulations.
I'm finishing a copy of the infanta Margarita Teresa of the Las Meninas.
I wish so much to have found you earlier!
I like and sub.
Thanks for the kind words Linda. I hope your copy goes well!
@@olddirtymasters It is finished some time ago and today I varnish it. I'm very happy it looks quite good. Wish I could show it to you.
Again, thanks for your incredible beautiful work and tuition. ❤
Nice job ...
Cool
you captured the color perfectly, did you do this by eye or color picked from the reference, either way excellent video
Thank you:) I put the brush or palette knife right next to the corresponding area on the book page to match colors.
Fabulous.. I'm wait for you will upload study of "William-Adolphe Bouguereau" 👍
Thanks, and thx for suggestion.
@@olddirtymasters thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and performance I really appreciate,
I would love to be a patreon and learn from your videos. are there any videos on your patreon page?
I think it's a very good study copy. Although I don't know if you're trying to reproduce Velazquez's technique. If so, you shouldn't paint "physically" all the colours you see in the painting. Many of the tones you see are only optical colours, the result of the mastery with which Velazquez superimposed and worked the layers of paint.
Hello! Do you know indicate me any book or site that theach about Velazquez's process? Thank you very much.
@@leticiamartins997 the Prado in Madrid
Thank you, please let us know from which book did you source the reference photo. Would you recommend the publication? Velazquez is a favorite. David
Beautiful book by Maurizio Marini. Electa publisher. Enjoy!
You can download the whole image “ the lady with a fan” by diego Velázquez in high resolution in Wallace collection website....the artwork is part of their permanent collection
What book is that ? Would like to know
Velazquez by Maurizio Marini, published by Electa, 1997.
Master Copy... ja, ja, ja.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE TUTORIALS WHERE YOU EXPLAIN HOW TO DO THIS. WOULD PAY SO MUCH MONEYyyyyyyyy
Just for grins and giggles, why don't you let us, they great hoard of the unwashed, unloved and unwanted in on the secret . . . you know, a little dialog, maybe tell us your name, how you're mixing your color, desatdurating strident chroma . . .
I strongly disagree with "coloring in" with a very small brush like this. Surely that is antithetical to how the Masters painted. --- and--- who paints with gloves on?????
@@verydrunkcat Cuts on hands?? Look, if you are that afraid of working with pigments that have been used for thousands of years, then just don't use them! In my view, many current "artists" are trying too hard to have it both ways. They want to pretend to be artists in the time-honored traditions, but they are careful to wear plastic gloves all the while. It's all just so silly. I am not impressed with ANY such artists, by the way. Just look at the final outcome: their paintings!
@@verydrunkcat Don't worry. I would never try to impress you.
@@KpxUrz5745 I did not see technique in this copy, only coloring. The only merit was mixing the colors before. But it is too far from being a master copy, it could be a copy, but you can never imitate Velazquez's technique, you can never imitate his brushstroke. This can only be called a studio, but to say that it is a master copy is too pretentious. Titian's Adam and Eve is an impressive work and Rubens himself made a study and master copy of that painting, and that is really a master copy.
Omg! I was waiting for these new video! You are so skillful and talented!!!. Thank you so much.
