Robert Liberace Artwork

[ForSpaceKitty]

Go check out Osiblonde on YouTube or Natasha Osborne on Facebook. It's worth it, trust me.

[MrLisieux]

I am constantly mesmerised by Robert Liberace's work. I wish he came down to Sydney Australia. Sir, you are one of my artistic heroes. Transfixing work! I aim to learn some small amount of your skill one day.

[UncleRabbit1]

Rob have you thought of spreading your wings and doing some modern art?

[MrB0mbdiggity]

@UncleRabbit1 you know, not every artist has to move into modern art..., someone needs to follow on traditional painting.

[macs1717]

nice stuff. you guys should check out my artwork from a smoothie shop in tempe arizona if you like modern work

[somedudeII]

Mr. Liberace is a masterful artist. I've enjoyed recently discovering his work. It's great to see realism celebrated once again in recent years.

[lewisjwilliams1993]

Genuinly the best drawings of the human form i have seen in modern times :D

[raquelhk]

breathtaking......

[LittleBraveMouse]

i haven t seen anything so beautiful for ages!!

[s2dioart]

good



[myopicseer]

Just fantastic, to state the obvious. The luminosity and translucence of the skin in a couple of the fair-skinned figures is just masterful. This is how I aspire to paint. To incorporate the green speck in the cheek of the African Lady's portrait, fitting there perfectly in tone and hue, and not imposing itself as whim or bad judgment, but rather not imposing itself at all but to add to the realism, somehow, of the work. These are the happy details artists seek in art.

[mudprimitive]

Holy crap. I just happened upon a local summer course in my area, Drawing. Guess who's teaching it? Mr. Liberace, kick... ass. Registering right now, beyond excited.

[caravaggio2304]

amazing

[wuioplikymnjbvnb]

I have to say it. You, Liberace, in my opinion,may be compared to Michellangelo, Da vinci, Rafael and Rembrat in your way to do art. I think that you got a level so great that your draws, paints, escultures are more beatiful than the original model. Congratulations !

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

@wuioplikymnjbvnb You are severely delusional. The only reason that artists from an earlier time executed their drawings and paintings the way that they did is because that was the best that they could do given the materials available at the time. There have been enormous advancements in materials and equipment available for artistic use since, and all of it should be used to create better work, especially in the drawing medium. Talent coupled with a much greater variety of better materials.

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

@wuioplikymnjbvnb In essence, I don't aspire to equal the limitations of the past. No artist should.

[wuioplikymnjbvnb]

@DoctorLawyerWhatever Sorry, but who are you ? Do you draw ? Do you paint ? Because indeed when i went to your chanel I saw that you use to criticiz every video you saw. The materials is important I know but give just a pen for anyoneone like Leonardo, Rafael or Rembrant and you will see what´s the real art. And do you know why they can do it ? is not cause his advanced materials but cause of their talents. Talent is the real art not the materials wich they work. You are severely delusional !

[asmodeux18]

Extremely beautiful work. The classical realism on display is a joy to behold. Superb anatomy and brilliant detailing. I especially love the drawings. You seem to breathe life into the figures. Exquisite.

[0Adamska]

i like robs drawings but the way he paints and uses colors doesnt appeal to my tastes

[firechinchilla]

ahhhhhh man your work is amazing god bless your soul and your talent keep goiog!! the best for you thank u very much for sharing your art with the world!

[moussaemad]

It's almost impossible producing highly detailed figurative paintings from imagination, especially when intense light and shadow are involved. Even the old masters used models constantly for their paintings.

[UncleRabbit1]

@moussaemad How did the old masters paint animals and babies in action then? What about seascape paintings?

[eastcoastartist]

@UncleRabbit1 - All of them did and still do. The leading fantasy artist of today will. James Gurney who created the artwork for Dinotopia creates everything in order to get the proper lighting. Claude Monet, Van Gogh and even Cezanne all worked from life including the great fantasy artist of them all: Frank Frazetta. From lions to horses they would study skeletal structures and do gesture sketches of movements - in order to work from imagination right you must wrk from life first.

[AhmedOnMoment]

@eastcoastartist Of course, Monet, Van Gogh and Cezanne painted so much from models, but who painted from his imagination? Bouguereau, Raphael, Rembrandt, And many others.

Rob is a wonderful artist, but drawing is a journey that never ends; and there is still very much before reaching the status of the true Masters.

[eastcoastartist]

@AhmedOnMoment Again, even those names you mentioned painted from life. Their compositions suggest imagination but if you go the museums or read through their journals you will find nothing but sketches of their models in the poses for each part. I know this because I have seen each of their sketching and working processes in either museums or in their journals.

To suggest that they painted out of their ass is ridiculous. I agree art is a journey as I am an artist myself on the journey.

[AhmedOnMoment]

@eastcoastartist I did not suggest that they painted everything from their imagination, or, as you put it 'Out of their ass" I'm simply suggesting that they drew very well both from their imagination and from reality, which is a must for any artist, as it gives an artist enough confidence dealing with surface anatomy, value and form.

Can you give me examples?

We are all, my friend, in the journey );

[eastcoastartist]

@AhmedOnMoment - I think I see what you are trying to say. I think what you are getting at is that they create their own compositions with their imagination - which is correct. But to be accurate in their rendering they would get models. Caravaggio would hire prostitutes and Leonardo would find corpse and draw from life. Art is a combination of both but almost all of your masters start with live drawing and they continue that for absolute accuracy. If you look at my original post you will see :)

@moussaemad

unless you're michelangelo



[praisethedog]

beautiful anatomical knowledge

[dasr77]

You are a painter and very good drawer, congratulations;

Eres un pintor y dibujante muy bueno, enhorabuena, chao robliberace

[praisethedog]

beautiful so talented

[pepeorozco1]

This is very inspiring,gorgeous work, thank's for posting this video,now lets get to draw and paint!

[feenixrising10]

absolutely breath-takingly beautiful!

[jumpinghoops]

Rob - this is wonderful. As an artist and teacher, your work has been inspiring myself, my colleagues, and my students. I have been waiting for your book to come out and it looks like you have some instructional DVDs. Your passion is real and you speak honesty with the tools held in your infinitely talented hands! Thanks for sharing!

[juglis]

This music almost makes me cry.

Such beauty...

[arpegiosamistikus]

this is real art!

[humblestumble]

Do you use a limited palette? They are beautiful paintings.

[sketchyfolk]

well painted stuff. I prefer some grit and and piss and vinegar---gericault over sargent but at least you know your stuff..

[UncleRabbit1]

Can you draw or paint this realistically from your imagination?

[robliberace]

Rob draws from models.

[BlackMasterJoe89]

@UncleRabbit1

Don't think its not possible though. I am sure it is.

[2manysecrets2]

@UncleRabbit1 _ This quality of work cannot be done from the imagination. The great painters we revere from the past who did create such great work from the imagination are very few.

We think of Rembrandt, Poussin, but they are childish in comparison toa Waterhouse.

An overlooked figure, but his compositions came from imagination. Incredible, incredible painter.

And, as note, those who work from photos well are trare today as well. Those who do are really using experience from life.

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

@2manysecrets2 First you state that "this quality of work cannot be done from the imagination". Then you state that it HAS been done in the past, but by very few. A contradiction. You seem confused. Either you believe that it can't be done, or you believe that it can be done. One or the other. I am not impressed by the works of Waterhouse. Then again, I am not impressed by the works of Rembrandt and Poussin, either. Of the three, however, Rembrandt seems to be the most competent.

[2manysecrets2]

@DoctorLawyerWhatever : Ok. Again, this quality of work cannot be done from the imagination. Period. Genuinely strong and great artists of the past were the only to do it reasonably well, but again, it never can compare to painting from life.

Waterhouse brought it to a very very high level. higher than an other I can think of. You do not respect the work, but try and create it, in your head. Hylas& the nymphs, favorites of emperor honorius, St.Cecilia. Amazing work. U paint u would know.

[dliiiiiiii]

thanks!

[dliiiiiiii]

forgive me for diving straight past the wonderful visual aspect of this video into the audio aspect, but which recording is this?

[robliberace]

Our friend, the cellist Steve Honigberg, of the National Symphony Orchestra (with his mother on piano) was very kind to let us borrow this beautiful piece from his album (Albany Records).

[jackieanna117]

Stunning work Rob! Truly a treat to see. Your wondrous sculptures are incredibly superhuman and poignant, in the same vein as your masterful paintings a drawings.

[maireliberace]

Move over Michaelangelo!
