Michelangelo's "La Pieta" inspired Mixed Media Painting

  • Michelangelo's "La Pieta" is my favorite sculpture of all time. I decided to create a Mixed Media Painting inspired by this sculptural masterpiece, with the focus on Mary's sorrowful face.
    In 1497, Michelangelo was commissioned by a French Cardinal (Jean de Bilheres Lagraulas) to create a sculpture for his future tomb in St Peter's Basilica.
    "La Pieta" was sculpted from a single block of Carrara marble which Michelangelo claimed was the most perfect block of marble he had ever worked with.
    Although I am not a religious person, (I'm not even Catholic) I find this beautiful work of art incredibly moving. This is why I decided to add it to a mixed media painting that I had already started.
    I hope you enjoy this video!

    I get greek vipes, but I can't really tell why. Nice to hear the story of why and how you fell in love with sculptures. I had this expirience when I was 13 and we where on vacation. We vised a glass manufactur and it blew my mind how they worked with hot, flewend glass and turned it in to breathtaking things, art peaces, sculptures and bowles. I am in love with glass ever since.

    I just got a chance to watch the full video (I was on the road when you first uploaded it): the sea-sponge technique is very interesting! I love that you painted this upside-down too, it just feels right :) (I don't know why, but...it does haha) The double-exposure effect is cool too--almost like there's another painting under the surface. I really like Evan's sculptures too! The angry fish one is intriguing :)

And that’s coming from a fellow abstract, realist artist here. I learned a lot of new things from you that I did not know before, so I hope you do read this, and Yeah I’ll let you know keep up the great painting. I’ve watched all of the paintings that you have done(on UA-cam) and excuse I my dictating here. Anyway, I hope you’re doing well and post more. I really would like to see more of what you create, you seem like such an upbeat-person, and that you have a lot of new things that you could show fellow artist, like me, and I’d really appreciate that. Thanks a lot bye J. Shane.

    I love your paintings, and I’ve watched many of your videos. I’ve been making art since I was two years old or less. But when painting I either do an oil painting or I do an acrylic painting. Usually oils. I know that gesso is an acrylic. But I’ve never tried painting oil over acrylic the way you do. When I told a couple of artist friends about your paintings, they both expressed concern that the oil would peel off at some point. Of course in this one it’s just a glaze. When I said what about gesso, that’s acrylic, they said thats specially formulated to be absorbent enough for the oil to stick to. What are your thoughts on this? Obviously you’re not worried about the oil peeling off. Have you had some of your paintings for years that you’ve done this technique with?

    • @lydiabroderick867
      @lydiabroderick867  8 місяців тому

      Actually painting with oils over acrylics is a very common practice and oils adhere well to completely dried acrylics. Many artists use this technique especially for creating an underpainting or grisaille with acrylics and then completing the painting with oils. I appreciate the question because it was a question I had when I first saw the technique being used. Rest assured the oil paint does not peel off. I think the main rule is not to paint acrylic over oil. That would create some serious problems. 😊

      I didn't go to school, but I grew up in a very artistic family and was always encouraged to be creative.

    Very beautiful, but the honeycomb effect was just too much for this specific portrait. The background was perfect without it. ( thats just my taste but I find this need to add in too much fluff just detracts from the actual painting, instead of enhancing it) You are clearly talented ! I see this technique taught at the Milan art institute and really think it has just been overused.
