    Great video. I especially liked when you pointed out that copying a master or learning something new should be uncomfortable. If it’s not uncomfortable then I’m not trying. That will be my new mantra. I subscribed

    People always complain about anatomy and proportion but imo rendering is way way harder. Especially realistically.

    Great video ! I paint with watercolor, and have been learning the same lessons. Most of the time the things that look simple and easy, are so much harder then I thought they were. I just keep at it until I'm happy and learned from doing it.

    This is gonna blow up 0 doubt.
    Also, dedicating your life to painting is a much better decision then dedicating it to coding. You make real things, and get to take pride in that. This is a privilege software engineers rarely get to see.

    Realistic flowers are really hard! No wonder LaTour's hair looks pulled out! White on white---mix all your colors with white. My favorite floral painter is Heade, But you are doing very bravely and well.

  • @LyubomirIko
    @LyubomirIko Рік тому +3

    Something you miss entirely was how much of the impasto work of the Henri Fantin-Latour in those lilies(and general) is actually scraped off/shapen with a wooden tip or a painting knife.
    In general discovering the power of the painting knife/scrape can help you with the value mistakes from the beginning as well (Although I doubt that madness was ala prima to begin with). Painting knife can helps with keeping just the minimal required paint layer on the canvas, and with thinner layer you get more control of the values. Its kind of the closest thing to 'undo' in the digital medium.
    But also using oil ground is key, acrylic gesso can be too absorbent/too easily tinted.

    I am watching Phil Stark color video, your channel showed up. Really enjoyed all of them. Human brain has been developing over millions of years. The old masters spent a lifetime learning and perfecting one craft. Modern humans have so much distraction, most artists want to discover a lighting moment instead of going through the process of training. Keep up with the good work, your videos are filled with knowledge and inspiration

    If you are the most skilled artist but you are the only one to see it then you are the worst artist. That's my opinion.

    • @JasonDeville-fi4dh
      @JasonDeville-fi4dh 7 місяців тому

      The guy who has 50 percent less skill but is world known is 500 percent more skilled. The guy who paints a circle and sells it for 50m is more of an artist. I think it comes down to subjecting people to the art and making it known, I think it's more important than the actual skill of drawing stuff or painting in a certain style.

    • @JasonDeville-fi4dh
      @JasonDeville-fi4dh 7 місяців тому

      Because let's be honest anyone can get good with a bit of time. But not anyone can get people interested in your art even when it's deemed "good"

      It's why some songs become popular because they killed someone. If they didn't do the action then the same song wouldn't even be popular. If dali did UA-cam videos do you think he'd be popular? Not a chance. It would remove his mystique. Same with popular artists they won't do much interviews, the ones who vlog will fall off, same type deal it kills the art. But it will help you yah, but it will limit you to teacher type rolls. You will become really rich yah but your art won't ever be celebrated.
