I just love the sheer darkness of it... The facial expression, the angle of the dim light only catching the face and upper torso....only for the rest to be shrouded in the abyss.... VERY nice, Flo... Deep! Dark! (regardless if you meant it to be or not)
I loved it! It's perfect!!! And yes!, I recommend your course to everyone: I learned a lot from what I saw there . As I said before: gratitude for all this
Hi from Canada 🇨🇦 Florent! I 💜 how you can still see the weave of the canvas... for some reason I seem to have have trouble telling myself it doesn’t have to be completely smooth like a photograph... thanks for another great vid!!!
Great stuff. That seems to be alla prima, wet on wet, ( like Rembrandt). Ive been trying to do a layer on layer, ( black and white or b. umber and white base like Caravaggio) semi transparent layers on top. I've been at this for years. But unfortunately I have an eye condition that makes it hard to discern one color from another. I am not color blind, but my portraits seem like I am. My spectral range is about 1/4 of the way toward color blind. I see colors but some that look identical to me are different shades. Can any one help with some advice?
Brilliant lesson Florent. Before you started painting the portrait you already had a "black" canvas What did you use to paint the Black was it straight black or a mixture of colours. And what did you use to thin this colour when you painted it on the canvas?
Paul Whiting hi not sure you still need to know after a year but you can buy black gesso, and since it doesn’t seem very saturated on the canvas I’m betting that’s what he used :)
Superbe, merci! "oh mais pourquoi c'est pas en french..." (non,ironie, je m'amuse toute seule....bon j'avoue - et ce,tout de go- que je m'en suis plains ..comme quoi il existe un domaine où j'ai progressé, ahaha) J'ai acheté votre cours et j'en suis ravie, j'en apprends beaucoup et ça me permet d'évoluer -plutôt que d'avoir peur...je stoppe ici la parenthèse psycho) A propos du système Munsell dont vous parlez je peine quelque peu, je comprends mais je ne parviens pas à me l'approprier, j'excelle dans la "boue"...si vous avez des suggestions, des liens à me donner, c'est avec plaisir que je vous lirai -en français -. D'autre part, je voulais savoir si vous proposiez des stages? Merci, good job!
What a joy to watch you work! It's fascinating to watch how the form evolves out of a misty background !

Thanks 😀🙏
Amazing painting. I know it’s a little late, but you look like you’re trying to make a Bohemian Rhapsody parody cover. Love it!
this painting is honestly so badass. i love the contrast. you look like a really cool star wars villain or something, it looks great
Awesome. Just watched your "chroma arc" video a few minutes ago. Thank you.
Sincerely,
I love how simple it looks. Great black. Fantastic!

Loved this video, loved the painting. Thank you so much for sharing your technique :-)
Wow!!!!!!
Great video, thanks! Is there a reason you mix black rather than use a tube black?
dimension & realism. nothing in life is generally truly black
thanks for making the course so affordable :)
Amazing work of art , when am I going to get there .Thank you for sharing.
Would you say you pushed this as far as a Caravaggio? If not how would you achieve that type of look?
how can i make geometric sketches just like your? amazing work!

Who says you have to paint with color?
Brilliant lesson Florent. Before you started painting the portrait you already had a "black" canvas What did you use to paint the Black was it straight black or a mixture of colours. And what did you use to thin this colour when you painted it on the canvas?

Un portrait c'est difficile mais en plus un autoportrait qui vous ressemble alors super bravo pour votre talent et merci
