Speed Oil Painting - Andrea Grosso Ciponte

[RoundBrushSteve]

stunning work, wish i could paint as fast as this in one go!

[feny8]

Im thinking of dropping out of school and just becoming a painter. Do you sell your paintings? If so, do you make a decent living? HOw much can you pull a year?

[DzKvakic1]

wow great work man those 4 dislikes are just haters

[zefmarkaj123]

What music is this?

[boobothe6th]

@zefmarkaj123 It's "Dirge" by Death in Vegas

[lingpengliu]

@boobothe6th and its in "MIsfits"!!!!!!

[aumy99]

i would totally pay you to do a painting. haha. so beautiful. i find art amazing to look at, i can stare at it for hours if i wanted to

[AllHailTheBeatles]

what were you using at the beginning to draw the basic thing?

[wheelmanstan]

So, does your back hurt, lol?

And do you eve have problems with smearing the charcoal or losing your original point of reference like the nose or mouth?

I think i gotta start painting like this because the second day of painting is the hardest for me. I love conceptualizing and sketching but layer after layer day after day just drives me bonkers.

[LukeShetler]

Does anybody have advice on how to oil paint withouth harmful vapors? I paint in my bedroom and it's a royal pain only being able to use walnut oil. I'm probably doing it wrong, but my work is way better when I can use turpentine.

Thanks

@LukeShetler

You can buy odorless mineral spirits

[sainatsalo]

Bravissimo!

[phatbastard0alkaline]

i would like to be this good... but to train ... damn... to mucho time... but you have to devote yourself to be good at something...

I Think you should send her the painting.

[threelittledoves]

You have the strangest painting process I have ever seen. Blows my mind. Where did you learn to paint like that?

[akiru91]

Sweet

[CIDVICIOUS831]

any charcoal will do? and whats turp? i always have trouble when im painting, i lose my pencils that i've put down on the canvas. any suggestions?

[TheDrewKiger]

i use to not have the heart to paint over previous paintings, until i learned that several past paintings are usually found under Rembrandt's works. i figured if he could do it, then i could. but beside that, i'm impressed at how amazing your work came out in just one sitting. i need to try and work towards a alla prima method also. i think you have more fun while painting. very impressive.

[lwhatley]

oh man i wish i could oil paint that good, all mine come out completely texturized because i'm rough or the skin color comes out opaque, i need practice....

[TomofHelatrobus]

is this painted from imagination or from a model?

[peoplestink90]

how can u have the heart to paint over one of your paintings. i keep everything i paint i dnt have it in me to destry them. theyre my babies XD

[rockakoka]

@peoplestink90 i agree espeacialy that the painting was amazing :)

[Gnaeus1]

@peoplestink90

Oh, well, I'm the same as him. If I never painted over my paintings I'd have hundreds of them. Plus,good canvas is pretty expensive

[andreagrossociponte]

@peoplestink90 I love the act of painting, not the painting itself... but if my kids are strong they survive!

[rouncer81]

@andreagrossociponte :)

[demoniosolitario]

@andreagrossociponte That is like saying you like act of making love, and not love itself. :(

[97Genial]

grande prof

[lordaki]

what does he start doing at 2:55? look like he laid a wet layer of burgandy then starts whipping/padding it off with a damp cloth?

[andreagrossociponte]

@lordaki yes, i use a layer of oil that then I go to remove with paper

[link7link7]

@andreagrossociponte thats brilliant, it brings out this alive popping quality to the image.

[divedivedive]

@andreagrossociponte but this is alla prima technique right? how do u do that when the layer beneath is still wet?

[FlipSideHC]

@andreagrossociponte is that gesso that your using to paint over the other one?

[ScarliiBabeXoxo]

Wow!

Do you think you could paint me haha
