The simple act of showing us what you see through an artist’s eye reminds us how beautiful the world is
I love this, I told my students that if I could get them to see the world differently, I had done my job! -Prof Lieu
"this loaf of bread is love... and family."
you really touched my heart through this process video thank you :")
So many people had an emotional reaction to this video, it's amazing to hear that! -Prof Lieu
That’s what art prof is to me “love and family.”
Aw, we love that! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Ok, this is one of Artprof's BEST OF!!!! So informative and so heartwarming!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! I never thought I was going to finish, but now I think it was worth the wait. -Prof Lieu
I was nearly in tears at the end. This painting is not just about love and family. This painting is about the bread fairy and her journey of discovery through learning to make this bread. It is about her love of beauty; her patterned dish ware, her careful arrangement of flowers, everything she does is meticulous. Each item she owns has a story because that is what is important; not the objects themselves, but the lives that have lived around them. Your Oma and I are kindred spirits. My bread journey has been ongoing for 30 years. (I am sadly now allergic to gluten but I still bake for my husband and friends and have developed a pretty decent gluten free sourdough (sigh, not the same)). Every dish in my house is also patterned. They represent the joy of meals shared with my husband, so many meals over 36 years. I had to laugh, but I have the same pom pom trivets and I love them so much. I said in a comment about the pastel painting of the jug and the glasses that I think the bread fairy is your muse. Keep travelling this path, it's leading you somewhere special.
This is so beautifully said, it gave me clarification on why I'm doing this work, thank you!! -Prof Lieu
Additionally I would LOVE your mother in law to share some of her bread recipes. I am going to be rewatching this video many times between the bread and the watercolors. 🍞💞🎨
Oooh I too would love to have some Bread Fairy recipes. Maybe it could be a Patreon release? -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
The story behind this bread painting is so heart warming 😩🥰
That's exactly how I feel ! -Prof Lieu
I so enjoy watching these types of painting tutorials with backstories told
Wow! You did a great job on this painting. It came out beautifully! I think it also came out so well because you have a strong emotional connection to the subject. I love the whole story behind it. Very special! 👍💛🤗
Thank you SO MUCH!!! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Oh my gosh. You have such a profound knowledge of your technique, and yet are always willing to try new things. You're also an amazing storyteller with a great sense of humor. Thanks for posting!
Yes, Clara has the best stories! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Beautiful rendering, with a lot of feeling. My favorite watercolorist is Winslow Homer, who painted quite boldly and without many layers (as far as I can tell), but another painter from the same period, Thomas Eakins, was incredibly fussy and still managed to create very unified and beautiful paintings, although they must have taken a lot longer than Homer’s. Fine and inspiring work on this. Thanks for sharing. My wife, who is German, also makes this bread (and calls her grandmother Oma).
Thank you, what a wonderful connection between your wife and Clara and the bread, I love that! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Incredible art storytelling and yes, I felt the love and depth and warmth shining through. Thank you!!
Watercolor. Now you are talking my language! And Sour Dough?! 😋 YUMMY. I am entering the raffle. Thank you for Art Prof! 10:23 And I need to look into these Sumi Brushes
I was captivated from beginning to end. This is a wonderful and thought provoking video!
Awesome job. I really enjoyed the interplay between the painting and bread-baking processes😊
That was sooo amazing! All of it the work, the story of the bread….magnificent…thank you Clara for sharing your mother in law’s amazing work and yours…stunning
Tysm Laurie, that's wonderful! -Prof Lieu
Aw ‘Oma bread’ that’s so sweet
I know!! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Love, love, love this so much. I actually started bawling toward the end.
I have never made art/a video that affected people this way, thank you!! -Prof Lieu
As both a watercolor novice and sourdough maker, I adore the story and the piece!
Wow, you double-relate to this video! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
This is utterly charming! And really amazing how you clarified the process of rendering such a daunting subject matter for watercolor-- bread!! I hope the author of Tartine cookbook has seen this video. I think he/ she would be charmed!
Thanks so much Jessica! When you take forever to produce something, perhaps the silver lining is having time to think through your process? Yes we tagged the Tartine people on Instagram! -Prof Lieu
What a beautiful video. The story and watching the process of making bread and the painting was very touching. I feel like I learned a lot too.
Thank you so much! This is one of my fav videos we have ever produced. ❤️ -Prof Lieu
This lifted my fear on watercolor 🙌🙌
AAH that's wonderful! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
What a beautiful story together with good watercolor advice.
So glad you enjoyed it! 🥰 -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Wow wow wow. Love this so much, both for your comments on the how to of painting but the story behind the painting. Worth the wait!
Haha, that's so great to hear! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
This was so heartwarming. Brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing, prof lieu. A beautiful beautiful piece too.
I didnt know that watercolor could look this way too. Amazing. Very informative.
This was so satisfying in so many ways, thanks for a fantastic demo and entertaining commentary! A beautiful video I'll no doubt return to and watch many times over.
Thank YOU for watching! We're so happy you enjoyed it :) You might like this mushroom hunting video as well, it is one of my favorites: ua-cam.com/video/HU5qdDtmnZo/v-deo.html - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
YES!!! A watercolor demonstration!!!!!!!! Thank you Prof Lieu, I can't wait to sit down and watch this tonight.
This is pure awesomeness. Thanks for sharing so much love during this time.
Thank you so much!! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Whoa, this video was amazingly produced. That was just, really beautiful.
Thank you so much! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Omg beautiful peace of art and I looooove the story that goes along with it!!
Quality x1000. Everything about it enhanced it. Even she brief clip of someone handheld filming you paint. This video was so rich and layered. Can i coin the word “docuturial”? Haha. Love to see more stories about something really special in your lives that you go ahead and paint/draw.
Glad you still have the painting. Should become a family heirloom.
Note: try olive oil and dukkah on that bread. Trust me on this.
Another note: you prolly already know but flick some water on the bread and mike it (or put it in the oven)when the bread is drying. The steam brings it back to life.
Love the idea of this painting as a family heirloom! And by the way, boy is is satisfying when people pick up on those tiny details that you think no one will ever notice. -Prof Lieu
seeing snippets of the Bread Fairy from Prof Lieu's socials, got me excited for this video!! The story & tutorial baked together organically. I'm glad I watched after dinner, bc the final piece is so tempting
Hope you enjoyed it! I think the bread fairy adds so much love and creativity to the channel :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
This was a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing your stories and painting.
its more interesting if a painting has a story behind it, it makes me want to paint random things in my grandma's house, the video made me cry, the painting is beautiful too
I have realized that the story is truly the heart of this painting, would love for you to paint stuff at your grandmother's house too! -Prof Lieu
@@artprof will surely do😊
Wonderful. I really very much enjoyed this, more so because I have a son who has explored making this type of bread, he is an extremely good baker entirely self taught! And there are many stories attached to his bread too. (Unbeknown to me a fridge was abandoned for a year because he had forgotten his starter and was scared to look inside!). He is the cook in our household because I am disabled, and he won’t trust me with hot things… But also because I have really struggled with watercolour, I have loads of it, and can only really do anything
I like thus far when I use some slightly moth eaten squirrel mops. So it was a delight to watch this and hear your take on water, layers, and watch you slowly build the detail and take it to where it needed to go. Using wet techniques the clarity gets lost so much earlier on, then things stop being workable. I really loved your finished piece, so enviable! Bread has to be one of the most difficult subjects of all.
And to add to the wonder it was ALIVE! I know thanks also have to go to the Bread Fairy, who inspired this….
Tysm for hearing your stories with us!! ❤️ -Prof Lieu
Amazing lesson, I must eat bread and paint! Thank you for your brilliant insights!
Woohoo, we hope you have a wonderful time! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
When i saw the painting, i thought what's special with this bread. I couldn't figure it out. Now i do. Its the texture, the process, the dry brushstrokes that create interesting streaks and the patterns.
There is so much love in this video. Watching you paint and also hearing the stories, this video is a joy to watch.
This is amazing! A touching story along with a beautiful painting 🙌🙌. This really helped me to realize how an artwork’s meaning can come as it’s being developed 😌
Thank you so much 😀 We're glad you enjoyed it! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
A wonderful painting - and now a part of your family history, to be handed down the generations with its story retold and retold! x
I never thought about that, what a lovely thought. I never met any of my grandparents, and so I cherish that my kids know their Oma. -Prof Lieu
This video was so lovely and I really enjoy hearing your stories behind your paintings or even just what you're up to at the time! Your comment about the layers of watercolor people use has also got me thinking because I'm definitely one of those 1-2 layer people who dives into my watercolor paintings without a plan a lot of the time. You've definitely captured a beautiful glow with this piece and that scrumptious texture of fresh homemade bread.
Please make more videos like these (if you want to)!! Seeing you work on a painting and hearing you talk about its story/inspirations is so comforting. A great video.
That's so wonderful to hear, we most definitely will! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
What a lovely insight into how you work and the wonderful world of sourdough bread and family, loved it.
This is a wonderful video. Your explanations are extremely qualitative, and the way you talk about the actual oma's bread made me ffel like I was invited into the kitchen of who seems to be a beautiful and generous human being. Thank you so much for creating such quality content, which is not only a tutorial on watercolor but on how to see beauty in our everyday lives. Beautiful !
It's lovely to hear that we could invite you into her kitchen, it's one of my fav places in the world. -Prof Lieu
This was one of the best videos I’ve ever watched on the internet like???
Considering how many videos exist, that's HIGH praise, thank you!! -Prof Lieu
Excellent video! Yes, the painting is wonderful and we would all like to eat that bread! I took away your tip about the Sumi brush having multiple uses. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful for you! Yes that bread looks so delicious 😍 🍞 -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
This is a beautiful and genuine video. I can tell lots of love went into it. ❤️
I'm so glad that comes across!! -Prof Lieu
This is so good! I'll definitely be watching this one again and again!
Aah, so happy to hear that! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Thank you for this beautiful video, so touching. The story behind your wonderful painting is so nice and personal. Thank you for sharing this part of you family routine. We are just running out of lovely traditions.
I love everything about this video and painting. thank you for the inspiration 💗
Thank you so much for watching! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Such a great video Clara!! Beautiful painting and sentiments. Worth rewatching!
We're so glad you think so!!! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
LOVE THIS. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!-Prof Lieu
love this
So do I! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Great tutorial, beautiful painting, and soulful narrative.
Thanks for watching! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
That bread looks fantastic. Time to fly to Tennessee and get some bread from my mom.
I use dry brushing on stone walls for rough sort of rock texture.
Sounds great, good luck with your creation process! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Thanks so much ArtProf😊
You inspire me all the time...
We're so glad to hear it! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Impressive piece of art, and wow, great video! I love how you constantly jump from art techniques to family anecdotes to bread making fun facts. This makes me wanna try water color.
Thank you very much! Prof Lieu has such a wonderful way of teaching :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
It looks beautiful. Very good job
Many many thanks! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
This will be a great podcast too.
I think so too!! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
This was such a fun video!! I loved it, and I’m definitely going to be rewatching it! It reminds me of one of my other favorite videos of yours: the crayon still life tutorial! 💖💖
Wow, awesome!!!! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
Love is the secret receipt
what a lovely video
So glad you think so! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I am wondering if you've ever tried the Saunders and Waterford block? If you have I'd love to hear your thoughts. I really love the story behind the paintings. It makes them come alive. I've experienced you interviewing people and doing these narrations. I don't know if you realize that you are exceptionally good at both! This style of video always has me captivated ❤️ Have you ever considered creating art documentaries or interviewing artists in a regular segment? There are far to few amazing art docs out there.
sometimes i think about how i loved watercolor as an elementary student because it was more forgiving than markers and color pencils. and composition was easy because I just wanted to make the same things usually.
Maybe that's a memory you should come back to in your art practice! 😉 -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
You artwork is so very very awesome I LOVE it so much. Yummy !!
Thank you so much 😀 -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
How did you ever devote so much time to one painting??? It's incredible! I get bored too easily
I bake bread, I'll have to paint some. It won't be near as complex as yours
Ooh we hope to see your bread paintings! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
love this channel
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much for being here :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff
I came for painting inspiration but now, I'm making sour dough bread 😂 anyway, lovely video! Thanks for sharing😊
Hahahaha YESSSS!-Prof Lieu
Geat Story
❤️
I have been waiting for this video for literally a year
Omg ME TOO! -Prof Lieu
I really want some of that bread 😵💫
Same - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Oma is „Granny“ in german. I love my Omas bread, too :-)
👍🙏
which brand do you recommend for watercolor sumi brush? :)
I don't have any loyalty to a specific brand or type of sumi brush! Just don't get one of the super cheap ones, as the bristles don't come together well. (they spread out when wet) -Prof Lieu
Excellent rendition of Oma bread 🙂 Will you be giving the painting to Oma?
I did! You can see it in the last shot. -Prof Lieu
@@artprof I did see it on the wall but wasn’t sure who’s wall 😄 This painting should tell you loud and clear that watercolour is no longer your nemesis, it is now your lifelong friend. Everything came together for you in this work, I feel it was a moment of watercolour clarity for sure. I hope you work more with watercolour Prof Lieu!
Hahaha yes I think wc I finally get along! -Prof Lieu
How do I go about getting an art portfolio review from you?
Info is here! artprof.org/services/ -Prof Lieu
I have a watercolor block of good paper but I'm truly not having luck cutting away sheet after sheet without scraping the newly exposed page in the process. I use a small paint mixing tool as carefully as possible but I never seem to do it without that damage 😔
I feel your pain. I find that the problematic parts are as you round the corners. When you get to a corner, try lifting the paper as you work around the glued edge. That may help.
I use a larger ruler or a letter opener
You can always trim the painting after you remove it from the block! -Prof Lieu
Hey there if u have a very buckled up piece of paper or ever a heavily crinkled one, put in something protective (plastic, or something else) and put it under ur mattress (make sure u don't bend it while doing that, and it's as flat ws possible), the weight presses it down over a few days. And for the crinkles, pray to god i cannot help u
Is she German? "Oma" means grandmother.
