Thursday Stream: Painting Elllipses in Still Life
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лют 2021
- A few people have asked about ellipses, and a few more have asked about painting ceramic objects, so I'm conflating the two and painting that little green bowl above :)
I imagine I'll be painting for an hour or so, and working 8 by 10 inches - feel free to paint along if you like. - Розваги
Very nicely demonstrated and clearly explained...many thanks.
I have only just found your videos. Your explanations and the slow calm delivery is fantastic. Thank you so much.
I believe you are The David leffel of realism.
Your depth in knowledge is rare. Your serene tone, calm soul, everything makes learning so truly an enjoyable experience. Thank you very much . We need this during this time in life.
Wow, that's praise indeed. Thank you!
Love your teaching! Thank you so much!
I just LOVE this video!
Delightful.
Thank you learned a lot again
I bought a green bowl with a couple of ridges on it to help me learn how to paint an ellipse so this is exactly what I needed. I guess this student is ready for his teacher to appear just like the saying!
thanks very much paul for thıs vıdeo...good teachıng..God bless you....very frıendly...by the way hello from Turkey.....good job...
I dont even paint, but i watched the entire video and loved every bit of it! :D
I am having a wonderful time watching you paint... feel like I am actually there with your brush strokes. Thank you for sharing your paintings.
Thank you and you're very welcome!
This was fabulous to watch. I learned so much. Thanks for your generosity. I hope you had a nice glass of wine afterwards.
Love still life in oil and you teach really well. Don’t worry about bad commentaries, they are jealous for sure!
Thank you for the drawing the ellipse approach and explanation. Greatly appreciated.
As self taught i gave up a yr before now this video is great motivation for me again 🙏
I am watching on UA-cam. Loving what you are doing! There are folks on all platforms that seem to enjoy being critical. Most of them can do nothing themselves. So sad for them. Guess we can just pass over their comments. Thank you so so much!!! Can hardly wait to get my paints out!
Very helpful. You make it seem so easy 😊. Thank you Paul.
Painting across the edge of the ellipse! It’s a small thing but it makes such a difference! That was a lightbulb moment for me. Thank you!
You're very welcome Wendy. I do make a habit of painting over edges whenever I can, when the values of the edge and the background or adjacent area are almost the same. I have a theory (with absolutely no proof!) that it involved the brain in almost creating the missing edge, much liek perception actually works. We tend to scan small areas of an image and then our brains interpolate based on a sampling of the image. We dont' actually "see" the whole thing.
Beautiful… and very inspiring. Thanks
you are amazing! you turn a difficult subject eazy for us! i am very happy with my painting with your instructor!
Fabulous! Thank you. Very helpful, not for the elllipse, but for your painting instruction in general.
Big hug! This was an incredible lesson and as a former Potter, I must say: BRAVO! THANKS XO
excellent paint-along! thank you, paul!
This was an awesome lesson!!! Thank you😍
Wow! Very informative. I learned a few new things and especially liked the way the ellipse was put together. I've never seen it done quite like that. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
It’s invigorating watching you paint. 😍
For those still looking for a tool to make grids on a photo --- Proportion Grid Maker is a free program I've been using for a couple years. Very handy.
I have just discovered your channel, I am now a faithful follower!!! I have struggled with elipses for ages and this method is brilliant!!! Thank you so much!!!
Glad to hear it Dorena
Beautiful work and lesson , thanks Craig
I’ve watched this after the fact. So much good information and hearing your family life happen in the background is refreshing. Thank you Paul!
I can't very well keep them out of it so just as well! I'm glad you enjoyed it and found it useful
Linda Sylvan Lake, Alberta Canada .. love your teaching
It is very beautiful video, thank you 🙏
I really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing x
You're very welcome Donna
Good Session, Paul! Thank You! Very helpful!
You're welcome Helen, Im glad it helped.
Thanks for this, I really struggle with ellipses and this is a method I’ve never seen before!
I love videos like this. I admire your talent so much. I have the drawing and painting skills of a 6 year old.
It's all just learning and practice, like anything :)
You're just wow....I love u 🙂
Don't bother with the people who are negative. You video is great, thank you. Constructive feedback is different of course! Subscribed immediately. I learned and learning from youtube video's about painting not in the art classes.
The lightest light looks the hardest to get right
Thank you!
Amazing 😀 thank for sharing
You're welcome :)
Excellent advice for the ellipses
your amazing. i am a beginner anime drawer and i have no patience
Bravo Paul!
just found your video .Very nice thank you for sharing .
If you have cats you don’t need a dog…….😊 I’ve just found you and I’m sooooo happy
Beautiful effect
Wonderful
Very interesting how you used the guide lines to determine the ellipse. I too have wondered if an ellipse has perspective or if it’s equal. I repair and collect clocks and have been wanting to paint some of my antique clocks. If turned, the round clock dial becomes and ellipse that must remain in the same plan as the front of the clock case. Any tips on accurately painting an ellipse on the side of a cube in perspective?
Hello from Dallas, Texas USA
you ve got to love thıs guy...
Pozdravljen Paul. Spet sva skupaj. Dobre volje postanem,ko te vidim koliko se trudiš za druge s poučevanjem slikanja. Tudi meni to veliko koristi.

Thanks a lot
You're very welcome!
always color!
Yes! (but sometimes maybe just value... :D )
🙏👏👏👏👏
I was taught to draw an ellipse with perspective, but the difference in curves front and back are mostly imperceptible so I don’t think it matters. I won’t tell my friend that though! She was my watercolour teacher, who made us draw them with perspective!
Heh, let's just keep that between us then :)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great lesson, thanks
I love it - it was so informative -
Comments about perspective of the ellipse were puzzling me, until I found this at 12:07 - 12:12 on the following video: ua-cam.com/video/C_GWSpCLLPg/v-deo.html
Curious why you don't use a mahl stick?
Don't know really, probably jsut because I don't have one!
Oops. Typo in your title - three L's in ellipse instead of two. Great video on a topic rarely covered so well. :-)
Color study
I really, really hate it when the actual photo is used as a thumbnail instead of the painting. There are some who do it and it borders on clickbait!
Words can not express how much I agree with you to the point that I almost shed a F tear. Also, this guy can't paint very well.
This is so very helpful! I love the instruction here! Lovely! Thank you!
You're very welcome Robin!
Thank you!
