Hey I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, but

is that a canvas or thick paper? Also, does he use glue and acrylics as base?

Thanks for this video, sick stuff!

[philgunman]

4:09 Remeber his words artist! That was so on point! I agree with that so much-You have to be crazy to come up with shit like this! Kick ass Massive Black

[Zutaiola]

I really would like to know how much time did it takes you to do this work

Thanks for sharing anyway thank u, thank u, thank u, thank u, thank u.

[tom3167]

@Zutaiola a couple of day depending on what your using, im guess as this is a couple of days he would have added some dryer to his medium , to speed up the process

[manicworks]

This is truly amazing work! Thank you!

[Dannubiuss]

Nice to actually see a video of a real artist, and not some dude messing around with photoshop transparencies and textures.

[Cixelated]

It is indeed true that there are technological advantages that make digital art seem weak; but realize its only a step away from traditional painting. As I have been taught through roaming the internet; one must master traditional art before moving to digital art. Its really more a matriculate necessity than anything else.

Wow... went into battle without a value study.

Came out pretty sweet, though.

[ILikeMudkipz1337]

[Thumbfunk]

Greg's a Master - and as nice a guy/willing to share as he is a brilliant painter. What a great opportunity, guys. Thanks to you and Mr. Manchess . . .

[EtoEto07]

beautiful work here!

I want to paint like that, I can't wait to have time in the Summer after exams!

[mealexxx]

nice I didn't know he was self-taught I always liked his works cuz they looked very academic.

[mittROMNEY666]

he uses photo ref? i thought he didnt. planar brushstrokes are still great though

[Zaisorian]

Greg manchess has the nicest brushstrokes i've ever seen.

outside of the realm..are you kidding me??? MASSIVE BLACK IS THE SHIT>>>>boom chikow

[drainoftheage369]

P.S.: Massive Black ever since you told me about Djunya on one of your other videos I can't stop listening to dubstep lmao

[drainoftheage369]

I knew I was favoriting this video before I even clicked on it. I started my Painting II class today and watching this video makes me want to become so much better at my craft than I already am. Wow, what an inspiration to all artists you are Mr. Manchess, and if this is on a DVD I will definitely be purchasing it.

[lard444]

was that brown base india ink?

[chachie5150]

Maybe brown india....or he mixed it himself..alot of these guys even mix their own blacks...stunning.

[paintingthedayaway]

the brown underpainting was most likely an acrylic wash.

[lard444]

but,...he is painting in oil?

oil dosen't work well on top of acrylic right? eh', but it is a wash...

[paintingthedayaway]

You can paint acrylic over oils just fine. Most oil paintings end up over acrylic in one way or another because canvases are sold primed with acrylic gesso.

You can't paint acrylic over oil though, that doesn't work.

Oil over acrylic, yes.

Acrylic over oil, no.
