    Interesting video. As a 73 year old professional artist myself, I am aware of the information presented here. However, I think one cannot get enough of the basics. I am currently working on the most ambitious project of my career. This client, very wealthy, collects Greek and Roman artifacts and art. He shops at Sotheby's, Chrisites and around the world. That should tell you something. He commissioned me to paint murals on two of ceilings, not counting the fifteen other paintings over the last eight years. For the murals I chose the Greek mythological story of Perseus in the style of the Renaissance artists as a compliment to his collection. Even though my preference is modern, I was educated in the classical techniques early on. The reason I gave this much background is because your video may have caused me to reconsider the underpainting, which is the phase I'm in now. Instead of lead, "flake white", similar to Carravaggio's high lights, I think you inspired me to tint the white a pale viridian green. With glazes and pinkesh flesh tone highlights, I'm anticipating an improvement over my original plan. Thanks for the videos. I look forward to more. I will research your background further, when I get time. Looks interesting. Thanks again. Van

      @@enaid54 Thanks John. While I would prefer modern art, it's more creative, I must take commissions to pay the bills. There is a reason this kind of art was only paid for by royalty, the popes and the wealthy. I'm 2 years in and long way to go.

Two years in…ceilings…classical style and imagery…😳you must really identify with and appreciate The Sistine Chapel’s visual feast far more than most. Additionally, not that you are ‘frail’, empathy and appreciation that Michelangelo was older (and arthritic😩) when he accomplished his masterpiece.

    Excellent demo, but on comparing the colours on three different canvases backgrounds you have referred to the colours on the white canvas as bright and light but infarct any colour you placed on the white background (white canvas) it will look darker comparing the same colour on the other two canvases.
    All the colours you have places on the three canvases from left to right they look lighter then darker and then more darker on the white canvas.
    That is why generally artists toning their white canvas to get rid the whiteness before painting.
    only recently I have been using more of Raw Sienna & Burnt Sienna and found them excellent for portrait painting.
    Thanks for sharing.

You should see how many we have laying around the studio! You can find them here: www.jerrysartarama.com/hg-art-concepts-painter-color-diary
      The clear gesso he is referring to is how the Senso Linen Panels come primed. (You can find them here: www.jerrysartarama.com/senso-linen-all-media-panels) The clear gesso lets the linen color and texture shine through, adding another level to your painting!

    • @JerrysArtarama
      @JerrysArtarama  9 днів тому +2

      Hi @grghkllb3875, thanks for your comment! We completely understand that cost is an important factor when choosing a paint. Professional paint lines might seem pricey at first glance, but they are worth the investment. Our Tusc & Pine paints are pigment packed, which means you get more bang for your buck! A tube of professional oil paint will last longer and go further, than one with more fillers. You will also get higher quality pigments, which means easier, faster, and cleaner color mixing and more vibrant, saturated glazes. Skilled artisans utilize state of the art mills and the newest technology to carefully make the colors in small batches based on each pigment's unique properties. This high-tech process ensures that every batch of paint is consistent and perfectly formulated every time. The result is a paint that is a little more expensive up front, but definitely worth it in the long run!

      Every artist has their personal palette preference, this is just one option! What is your preferred palette? Tusc and Pine has 96 colors to create any palette you would like!
      As far as the gloves go, we have to respectfully disagree. It's up to each artist to decide what works for them, but we always err on the side of safety. Certain oil paints and many of their solvents (like turpentine or mineral spirits) can contain harmful chemicals such as lead, cadmium, and other heavy metals, especially in certain colors. Prolonged exposure to these substances, even in small amounts, can be harmful to you or your skin. Wearing gloves helps protect your skin from these potentially toxic materials. We want all our artists to be around and making art for a long time to come and, to us, safe practices are a big part of that!

I found this line of oil paints to be remarkably overpriced. Back to the issue of artists wearing gloves to do paintings, sorry, I just can't take seriously any paintings done by someone who wears gloves. To me it shows that they are not really devoted and immersed in the art. No, I don't believe painting with no gloves necessarily means they will get ANY deleterious chemicals into their bodily system.
