    About me (bio) :
    Website :
    www.florentfarges.com
    I am an artist living and working in France. I learned the techniques of the Atelier of the Nineteenth century and now I try to share some of my knowledge with the rest of the world, because I think that beauty still has an important role to play in artistic creation. I do mostly drawing and oil painting, and my goal is always to provide techniques, thoughts and explanations that can be useful to anyone, from beginners to more advanced artists.

    Great advice for beginners! Something I see in a lot of novice work is eyes that are too big. We look at people's eyes so much that our minds exaggerate them. Focusing on form as defined by the shadows is probably the most important skill I learned as an artist.

    Thank you for this tutorial I have been trying to do portraits and start off ok then loose the features as I go along, so your process will help me to not keep making the same mistakes again and again. Thank you. I hope you might be able to do one on noses, as they are harder for me. I appreciate your wonderful educational videos

    This was immensely helpful. I haven't even watched the third section and already I was able to figure out why my eyes looked cartoonish and weird when I wasn't trying for it--i wasn't painting the mass around the lids/lashes, which turned out to be more important to looking right than the actual "eye" as we tend to think of it, which o got from section 2. And, just as you said, it was easier to get proportionate eyes once I had those shapes. I feel like the tendency of beginners to paint eyes too large is probably their brain trying to reconcile them not noticing those shapes.

    interested in the training course because just Florent's videos on yt have helped immensely, but I am acrylic painter (trying to be!) and don't use oil paints.
    would this course still be recommended for someone like me? or only for oil painting?
    thanks in advance.

    Hi sir!! I find one of the biggest issues I have with painting or drawing is my shaky hands, I see you have a thing you can rest your hand on, what is it? I’m not sure how you lay it so it doesn’t rest in the paint or bonk you head, which I’m sure I would achieve both😅 sincerely, shaky hands

  • @BipolarCourage

    I think it depends on what style you are going for. Both eyes look great. First more stylised and bold. Second more subtle.

    • @dimitrispapadimitriou5622
      @dimitrispapadimitriou5622 Рік тому +2

      I agree. Dos and don'ts about aesthetics are almost always relative. It depends from what you want to.achieve / express..
