[josvanr]

@Giopunto84 well thnx but I'n not too shure about that myself. The figure painting is driving me to utter despair....



[TheDigitalvlogger]

nice video!

[tombproduct]

it seems you like to paint still lifes of single objects

[josvanr]

@tombproduct good exercise: one can manage it in a couple of hours...

[PantheraAtrox]

@josvanr , Daym you are good!

[davycrocketful]

i love this series of tutorials..but this one is my fave..great work..!

[josvanr]

@davycrocketful thnx.. I was happy with this one too...

[mudassatgold]

its nice but can you tell us the colors that uses in the painting so it would be easy to understand thanx

[josvanr]

@mudassatgold hi. In this one I think I used: titanium white, lemon yellrow, cadmium yellow dark, transparent oxide red, ultramarine blue, sap green. But it's not important what paints you use, as long as they span the entire color wheel. I don't think in terms of pigments, only 1) hue 2) value 3) saturation..

capturing metallic effects is so difficult, which is why i watched this video. amazing job. I typically paint paintings 3 feet by 4 feet. it would take me a year to finish something using your technique, but you do it so well. how long did it actually take you for this painting?

[josvanr]

@TheDrewKiger thnx.... about 3 hrs....

The way I would describe watching you paint, is seeing an object come slowly into focus, like through a camera lens. I am learning to see objects in this way as it produces beautiful paintings.

[josvanr]

@danargyle interesting.. I just was thinking to try this other method: to sculpt, ie paint large forms first, then smaller ones, like sculpting a block of clay...

[wildec2]

wow thats fantastiic!

[engelteir]

I love how painting lots average, average, average, then BAM they just come together and look awesome!. i just watched the egg before this one, and same thing. I wish i knew how to do that... i think i try make them look too realistic too early and don't have all the deeper layers rendered properly.

[josvanr]

@engelteir squinting helps: ie look at your subject (and/or painting) with your eyes more or less closed (and vary the degree in which they are closed) and paint that. More generally, looking in as many as possible ways helps: with your head turned at an angle, from a distance, or looking not directly at what you want to paint but just beside it, or through a mirror... And use large brushes..

[chibi41591]

@engelteir When doing a still life and you are striving to learn to get realistic results always start general to specific, lay down the basics and put color and different values in ruffly, then go back and define rework and what have you towards the end. Its pretty much a really good starting place and way of building your self up till its all second nature.

awesome ..........

thanks for your reply, Jos, much appreciated.

[ANTZ1964]

Hi Jos, there seems to be a vast amount of information out there about boards and treatments used. I need your advice. I've started using MDF, 6mm, 6" squared. I used four layers of gesso. but them heard I should have sized prior to gesso to stop absorbancy, and that I should size after gesso. Is this necessary? In your vid here I can see barewood! How do you treat your boards please Jos?

[josvanr]

In these paintings I only used some acrylic based varnish (2 layers) directly on the mdf, so the 'grain' shows through. Some absorbency remains in this way, but that's what I want. What I don't know if the panels have 'archival quality' in this way ie will they still look the same in 100 years. From someone at the national gallery in london I heard that the glue in mdf degrades some blue pigments, so one would need a few layers of gesso to do it right. But I don't worry about this too much..

[Salleana]

SUPERB!!!!!!!! U ARE A GENIUS!!!! When you say board, are you talking about a pieace of wood? Peace

[josvanr]

mdf

[josvanr]

Main reason for me: I'm used to it. There are a lot of differences, though:

Panel is more sturdy, shows more visible brush marks, is generally less absorbent (so the paint is easily moved around), has no structure (so all the structure comes from the paint itself), is cheaper, and can be cut to all sizes

Canvas is floppy (ie surface moves up and down while painting), more absorbent, has structure (can be used to create certain effects), and i find that brush marks can be smudged more easily..

[gailyanne]

Jos, Why do you paint on board instead of canvas? Great painting.

[Djole0]

Genius
