Thank you VERY much for sharing this! I wasn't able to go to school this semester but I'll be taking the exam with everyone who have been painting whole semester with teachers commentary :) This was helpful.

This seems really informative. It's great when people post their new art skills on Fireviews because people can really see their talent and give them valuable feedback. When you're an artist, feedback can be the most important thing.

Looks like an awesome class. The link in the description is dead, but this system is worth looking into

[trinitaterion]

we have to work hard to achieve the old master look, regardless on the topic of our art.

[mnilandcom]

looks kind of a difficult system to learn by

[chickabuka]

Xlnt demo! people make so many comments..oh its to dark its muddy its amateurish, painting and art is the most subjective thing on the planet, to each his own, if you can get a positive lesson from anyone, a single tip to help then its all good! Nice job Dominic! Ciao! G. San diego, PS where do you teach?

[berryconnell]

Dang! Wish I had brought m'knife, some spices and a pie crust!

Great lesson!

Dominic Vignola ROCKS!!!! I am one his disciples and I am here living in Paris and kicking butt. I have a commission for three tonal paintings. I have a gallery owner that wants to have a talk with me!

Dominic is a fantastic teacher but more than that he is the Velasquez of our time. If you have been taught be Maestro Vignola, wipe your feet because from that moment on you are part of art history!!! - Dominic if your reading this; Liam says Hi!

I've watched the thing all the way through now. It's interesting how he lays out his Reilly palette. But in the end, the result is amateurish. He pecks and dabs his paint. The students emulate.

The best still life painters know that you need plenty of empty space around the subject matter. He zooms in using "macro mode."

Googling, I found originals of his on sale for as low as $550.

I wasn't aware painting had to be one specific way or that you could be so definate about what works and what doesn't. Oh wait, you can't, you are just one of the usual annonymous complainers that fill up the Internet.

[LIAMEDIA]

You are absolutely right. Painting definitely does not have to have rigours standards. The only painters that have to have rigours standards are the good ones. If you want to paint like Jackson Pollock I have a monkey that comes pretty darn close. If you want to paint like the 'Masters', then Dominic and his students come pretty darn close. So you have a choice to make. Take the class or touch the monkey. The choice is yours.

[jp1989at]

you're stupid.

[LIAMEDIA]

Well put primate. And your paintings look like?....

[JiveDadson]

All the great baroque painters used black and white to knock down or "break" high chroma colors -- Velasquez, Rembrandt, Caravaggio to name just three. So did the great Victorian realists. The best realist painters going today do the same. Attempting to break colors with their mixing complements is just too hard, and there's no good reason to attempt it.

I can find things to quibble with here, but that's not one of them.

[paletteman]

DiFontaine365, you are right in questioning his technique. Even a novice knows better than to use black to knock down colors. It's the recipe for a muddy painting. If you are serious about art don't waste your money taking one of his classes.

[LIAMEDIA]

Yeah right. Let's see your paintings.

[ENGLEESH]

That woman constantly asking questions would drive me insane

[artettina]

Beautiful, very nice. Loved seeing the students versions as well.

[DiFontaine365]

I like your painting style, but using black to knock colours down? and finger painting with cads you will take that right through the skin, that's a heavy metal!

[joeralt]

very nice
