I love the way you paint in the Photoshop. It's really amazing. Can I ask you a question? How did you mix the colors in your paintings to look the paint effect? what techniques did you use?
The statement that "geniuses learn without training" could not be more off. A truly intelligent person would take all the helpful resources that were accessible, learn from them, improve upon them, and possibly create his or her own techniques. Reinventing the wheel is pointless and a waste of time.
i like your style more, but its def not his style...its just a similar image. your technique is quite different... im going to start using more of his black and white under toning. you also notice he didn't use any textured brushes at all.
@superasian777 Art history student? Clearly you haven't a clue and see a lot of trolling in comments because you are yourself a troll. You have no business speaking of Bouguereau. Shoo now!
Si quieres ser artista desecha todo otro temor y preocupación que no sean los del arte. Que tu alma sea como un espejo que refleja todos los objetos, todos los movimientos, todos los colores. Pero procura que permanezca límpida ( limpia, pura) y serena.
Amazing work. I would like to get into the digital art scene, however I am no good with colors at all. I can do a fairly decent picture with photo reference in black and white, but when it comes to color I do not know where to start. Do you have any advice to offer?
@CompOfHall I might some advise for you :) One is: just do it! No one gets better without practice ;)Second, looking, not thinking. Example: a red apple is red, right? That's what you think. But what you see, depends on where that apple is. It's under bright sunlight? It's more yellow, with bright white highlights. It's under blue neon light? More of a purplish shade then, with blue highlights. It's in the dark? No apple to be seen at all... I hope you understand and are able to use it :)
you are an amazing artist. thanks for showing a digital technique for Bougereau. you did an amazing job on this. to me it's great and beautiful and a great homage. folks who make negative comments are just sad and jealous that they can't do this on canvas or in pixels.
Wonderful, but you failed at one of William Adolphe's strongest points, making people look atractive even with crooked features. Your picture looks wonderful but it looks like a great painting of an ugly woman, not a great painting of a beautiful woman.
But on the other hand there are alot of artists who like to draw ugly people, and you might be one of them.
@OITFTT Artists reflect what they want in their art, with their own vision of beauty. Drawing the same kind of doll faced people considered beautiful by media and stereotypes isn't really good. It's using the same mould for every single work, which is predictable and boring. It's ridiculous how when it comes to many digital artists, they don't mind painting grotesque men, but when it comes to women, it's always the same kind of nose, the same jaw, the same lips. All mannequins.
@MissGame0ver All true, but you missed the point i was trying to make, this woman is a 5/10, while William Adolphe's women's facial features were all so perfectly placed it didn't matter if she had thin lips, high forehead or a crooked nose.
very well painted,but its not a tutorial for one who is trying to learn digital painting,can u please post more of your digital painting for others as just for teaching digital painting concepts and tips to others too.
And one thing your painting is very nice and awesome,gr8 work.

looks like this took ages to make, wow, what skill!! I love it! Just a comment, the final snapshot seems like it gave the face a plastic-like look, I think the soft almost ethereal colour of the picture before that snapshot was just perfect
hay guys. this one time in kindergarden, we were suposed 2 make paintings where we wuld die little peaces if maccaroni and then glue them on paper, every1 thought mine was real good. I now do it ona regular bases. My mom lieks to put my finger paintings on the refrigeratpr after I come back from Karate. However, bnow that I'm 12 and all grown up, I htink I could paint lik dis tho.
looks awesome! the only thing I'm noticing off is the line on the viewer's left on the nose. It seems large and too dark. I did a digital Bougereau master copy and it was ... a learning process to say the least lol. Gorgeous style though
@planesrift I'd suggest getting Corel Painter XI... it's just AMAZING. If you can do this with Photoshop- a photo manipulation app, imagine what you can do with an app specifically made for creating artwork!
As far as PS, using a tablet instead of a mouse allows you to control the opacity, giving you that blending look. If you just have a mouse, set your paintbrush opacity to around 25%, but honestly if you want to do any traditional styled aretowrk, buy a wacom tablet.
@raceofficer Yeah that's what my illustration teacher told me: Use all you have, art is art no matter what you use. Acrylic was considered 'cheating' as well, just like using Painter / Photoshop is now.
While I prefer acrylics on canvas, CG stuffs are great too!
I always like to see the process other artists take to complete a piece of work. And this is simply amazing especially since its very reminiscent of chiaroscuro. great work
Amazing! I'm going to show this to my 10 year old who has recently started oil painting. It's amazing to see how you arrived at the final presentation. And, don't apologize about the individuality of your work. Bouguereau is such an inspiration but you are one of a kind - embrace that! :)
Kudos. This is my favorite Pre-Raphaelite artist! You did a really great job of capturing the feel of that style! ( Btw- for people not familiar with Pre- Raphaelite artists- look it up in google or Wiki- THESE ARE *NOT* ARTIST THAT CAME BEFORE RAPHAEL. THEY WERE A BROTHERHOOD OF PAINTERS
And sadly Bougureau is actually not among the Pre-Raphaelite artist. They were mostly English. He was a French Academic painter and trained artistically and professionally at an entirely different school from them and actually had no connections with them.
This is amazing! I can't do one-layer painting, or anytype of painting for that matter. It is so amazing!!!!! The contrast makes the picture come alive. :D
Was that build on a picture inside your mind or was it taken?? God damn fine job lad.. ! curious of one thing.. where can I get those wacom whose cheap? how much do they cost? Great vid!
It's amazing to me how many snobs are gutsy enough to make the comments they have here. You've taken Photoshop, something most of us only use for color washes and to put a donkey's head on guys we don't like, and created a beautiful figure with all the delicacy masters of paint and brushes use on canvas. Let's see some art work of any kind from Frederic, Perma, or any of the others.
Amazing amazing amazing work, and gratz on raising Photoshop potential to a new level!
Good yes, very good , yes, Bouguereau? not even close. Bouguereau was all in the finish. Tthats why he was called him the painter of china. Actually the piece did resemble a Renoir finish if I had to make a guess. Again, Good work but not quite a cigar. Very talented work though. Thanks.
This so makes me wanna open Photoshop and do a painting RIGHT NOW. Very nice work. i'm still having trouble getting my stuff to look more real or more like a painting but i think it's just my lack of patience ;D
You've done a great job here. Take no notice of all these critics and highbrow types. People like this always claim to know everything, but can never and will never produce any evidence of their own artistic talent.
Anyway, I love Bouguereau and I like your approach here. Keep it up!

How do you step back from a computer screen to squint major tones or use your arm to paint broad beautiful strokes on your wacom? Those things I'd be interested in. Most classical artists had formal training actually. Da Vinci was a genius, I think he could figure out photoshop, probably even who your father is. Sorry if this sounds so artsy fartsy, it's really just knowledge you get from reading so you can know stuff before you crap out your mouth.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The Medium you use doesn't matter, but I have yet to see someone paint something artistically grand with digital paint. It's pure setup is a dead end for training. Sensitivity to small detail is a amateurs game, the parts have to relate to the whole. Look at Sargent for god's sake, Velasquez, Rembrandt. Loose painters, remarkable "life filled" portraits that inspire people to fall in love with art; not wallets and thomas kinkade whore aritsts.

I'd love to see you hold an argument versus someone who actually knows about art. Also someone with a name that can't easily spawn from your parents trailer park conversations.
Very good video!!!!... digital tools don't give talent to untalented people... art is art and nothing more or less... if someone create bullshit... it's just bullshit... and this is not the case.
how basic the picture starts (looks almost child like ^_^) off and then almost effortlessly it seems transforms into the end piece, which i think is fantastic.
spinoza1111
shush already man!!! hes painting in the 'style' of.
he admires Bouguereau's style and merely painted a picture trying it. what's the biggy? why are you just slating for the sake of slating. go paint a freaking picture and stop wasting your time trying to put people down. its irritating
spinoza1111, I feel sorry for you if you can't see beyond the painters and into the real artwork; it's not about the 'Old Masters', it's about the finished piece. It shouldn't matter who paints a painting, so long as it's good; which this is. Also, notice it says in the Bouguereau 'Style', not a Bouguereau 'Original'.
Yeah, but I'm saying that the result isn't good in the sense that it's so clearly NOT a Bouguereau, nor even a European painting. Instead, it's what you'd see in an American art magazine for artists who define themselves as anti-Modernist and who fantasize that one can paint in a traditional style using media that's changed so completely.
It's at best competent art for candy boxes containing "European style chocolates".
Only technically. I would say that artistically it is a step backward, because the artist has no control over the viewer's experience: the viewer's experience depends on the viewer's technical apparatus.
Also, "the paradox of CD recording applies": a computer and its graphic engines are systems with a finite number of states. No such bound exists on human perception since it's analog as well as digital. That's why listeners were sometimes disappointed with the "perfection" of CDs.
I'm no big fan of Bouguereau. But, your art here doesn't look like Bouguereau. It's a decent, craftsmanlike work in its own right. It's a Bouguereau IMITATION that would never be mistaken for a Bouguereau.
You see, it incorporates methods that were being worked on by Sargent, Whistler and Winterthaler and which those guys stole from the Impressionists, including adding chiaroscuro notes after color.
The final result makes it look as if the subject has facial hair because of the basic mistake (see below) of adding chiaroscuro after color. The facial color is patchy and powdery for this reason.
Please understand. My own work ain't great either. I'm just saying the most Old Masters, and probably Bouguereau, did color after chiaroscuro because the human eye sees the chiaroscuro BEFORE it sees the color: for example, people are said to remember stressful events in black and white!
You can use all the technical artistic words you want, it's still amazing, and the 'underlying drawing' has NOTHING to do with the how the viewer perceives the finished piece, and so it is irrelevant to us; the viewers.
Nothing? Go to a museum and get off your computer, because on your computer, you see nothing but pixels.
The experience of seeing a real painting IS the experience of seeing the underpainting, and it's different depending on technique. Compare for example Titian to Raphael.
It's amazing that so few art "connesewers" know so little about technique and so remain in a superficial state of self-admiring lack of awareness of what they "see".
The 'underlying drawing' is 'underlying', so no matter how you look at the piece of art as an observer (on a computer or in a gallery) you won't see it because it's underlying. i.e. under the painting.
Also, you have to be on a computer to be able to reply to me, so you could be on a computer just as much as me if not more. I was in fact in a gallery very recently. My appreciation of digital artistry does not mean i don't also appreciate analog art.
I also, i do hope you realise your sarcastic "connesewers" comment, only serves to make you seem even more conceited than you already do.
You are making a ridiculous assumption about thousands of people you have never met.
Art is moving not just forward at the moment, but in every direction. Digital, Instillation, Multimedia, etc. But that does not mean we have to leave behind what the 'Old Masters' left for us. You should stop seeing digital art as a threat, it's jsut another artform.
Also, and with all due respect, there are weaknesses in the underlying drawing which Bouguereau would not have countenanced, and of which his technique in particular, and that of "old masters" in general, is VERY unforgiving.
Gimp and Photoshop place strict, mathematical bounds on expressiveness which aren't present in oil painting. However, oil painting in the Bouguereau style is a strict and demanding vocation.
Interesting and welldone, and Bouguereau style...but not his technique. His technique was based on the pre-impressionist monochrome underpainting which was completed BEFORE color was added, in the form of glaze and scumbling.
In Photoshop, the mathematical technique used to simulate translucent glaze means that monochrome glaze over color is IDENTICAL to color glaze over a fullbodied monochrome, but this is not the case in actual paint.
"In Photoshop, the mathematical technique used to simulate translucent glaze means that monochrome glaze over color is IDENTICAL to color glaze over a fullbodied monochrome, but this is not the case in actual paint." This isn't quite true. Layers can be made to interact in a range of ways, not all of which are commutive. In other words, the layer order does matter.
Wow, your painting is truly amazing. I have to ask, though, is it a man or a woman you painted(small lips and soft neck like a woman, but hard nose and brow like a man)? Also, how long did it take you in real time?
....This is pure magic before my eyes...thank you so much for posting this! I am just starting to do speed sketches...I hope to God one day my work will be even half this good...
I did this one in watercolor (real stuff, not digital) a couple of munths ago. It was really fun doing those skin tones that Bougereau did so wonderfuly. BTW, You did a great job. ;)
While it is true that digital art can't capture things like brushstrokes etc but, neither does a digital pic of a traditionally painted masterpiece and that does not render it any less a masterpiece.
And let's face it most people in this age will probably only see a digital image of a masterpiece they'll either not have the oportunity(sp?) or the inclination to go see it in person. So IMO if it "speaks" to you and you like it it's art plain and simple no matter the medium used to achieve it.
run into other problems like blending and evening out tones and edges. Something a computer cannot just "DO" at the push of a button. It still takes a human with instincts and talent to make digital art. But hey, if you really want texture so bad go lick some bark. You don't see photographers harassed because you can't "feel" the images presented...are they any less an artist?
look at the beginning of the video with the laying out of the basic framework. Now, if people don't like the picture then it's subjective. It has no bearing on whether or not digital painting is art. There is a whole lot of oils I can't stand but it doesn't make it any less art. Some people can't work with some mediums. Some people just favor other mediums. A lack of texture or possible "muddy-ing" doesn't reduce the skill of a digital artist. Those who chose a computer instead of a canvas
wow! what a flame war! I've seen this video quite a few times without reading the comments but man o man! I just graduated from a four year university in studio art and this has always been a sensitive subject. Digital versus traditional. Now (not to take club2987's side) but he/she is right to some extent that there are some things digitals cannot capture like texture...we can respect that right?
but watercolor really doesn't either does it? You can tell this artist has traditional training
I mean without even looking at the reference, I can see the right eye is too far right, the nose on the right is too far angled up, the mouth too far angled up left. Many things don't sit right. The tones are spotty, and the black "spraypaint" unnatural. However, the reason it looks bad is not because it doesnt look real or human, it's because the variety is too wild and the portrait has no unity; therefore no powerful essence. I can keep going if ud like.
MANY times I have seen a PHOTOGRAPH that didn't look "right". I'd think "ya know, if this were a drawing people would say that the nose is off or that the lips are too low" but it is a PHOTO so your opinion that the right eye is too far right may be incorrect. : )
I'm confused on what point you're trying to make. That this is a photo? This is a copy of a painting. In which I can assure the painting is much more accurate. Although I do applaud the artist for his/her efforts; bouguereau is a tough master to copy as are many. I think they'd have an easier time either getting an exact likeness(if that is their goal), or revealing their own unique vision of his work, without a computer and tablet to go through.
No, I am saying that when you say that the eye looks wrong that sometimes even in a PHOTOGRAPH ( ie REAL life) things look "wrong". That's all. Now, go away.
I love the way you paint in the Photoshop. It's really amazing. Can I ask you a question? How did you mix the colors in your paintings to look the paint effect? what techniques did you use?

It's amazing to me how many snobs are gutsy enough to make the comments they have here. You've taken Photoshop, something most of us only use for color washes and to put a donkey's head on guys we don't like, and created a beautiful figure with all the delicacy masters of paint and brushes use on canvas. Let's see some art work of any kind from Frederic, Perma, or any of the others.
Amazing amazing amazing work, and gratz on raising Photoshop potential to a new level!

Good yes, very good , yes, Bouguereau? not even close. Bouguereau was all in the finish. Tthats why he was called him the painter of china. Actually the piece did resemble a Renoir finish if I had to make a guess. Again, Good work but not quite a cigar. Very talented work though. Thanks.

This so makes me wanna open Photoshop and do a painting RIGHT NOW. Very nice work. i'm still having trouble getting my stuff to look more real or more like a painting but i think it's just my lack of patience ;D

You've done a great job here. Take no notice of all these critics and highbrow types. People like this always claim to know everything, but can never and will never produce any evidence of their own artistic talent.
Anyway, I love Bouguereau and I like your approach here. Keep it up!

How do you step back from a computer screen to squint major tones or use your arm to paint broad beautiful strokes on your wacom? Those things I'd be interested in. Most classical artists had formal training actually. Da Vinci was a genius, I think he could figure out photoshop, probably even who your father is. Sorry if this sounds so artsy fartsy, it's really just knowledge you get from reading so you can know stuff before you crap out your mouth.

The Medium you use doesn't matter, but I have yet to see someone paint something artistically grand with digital paint. It's pure setup is a dead end for training. Sensitivity to small detail is a amateurs game, the parts have to relate to the whole. Look at Sargent for god's sake, Velasquez, Rembrandt. Loose painters, remarkable "life filled" portraits that inspire people to fall in love with art; not wallets and thomas kinkade whore aritsts.

how basic the picture starts (looks almost child like ^_^) off and then almost effortlessly it seems transforms into the end piece, which i think is fantastic.
spinoza1111
shush already man!!! hes painting in the 'style' of.
he admires Bouguereau's style and merely painted a picture trying it. what's the biggy? why are you just slating for the sake of slating. go paint a freaking picture and stop wasting your time trying to put people down. its irritating
fantytoose 3 years ago
spinoza1111, I feel sorry for you if you can't see beyond the painters and into the real artwork; it's not about the 'Old Masters', it's about the finished piece. It shouldn't matter who paints a painting, so long as it's good; which this is. Also, notice it says in the Bouguereau 'Style', not a Bouguereau 'Original'.
Newnewmodel 3 years ago
Yeah, but I'm saying that the result isn't good in the sense that it's so clearly NOT a Bouguereau, nor even a European painting. Instead, it's what you'd see in an American art magazine for artists who define themselves as anti-Modernist and who fantasize that one can paint in a traditional style using media that's changed so completely.
It's at best competent art for candy boxes containing "European style chocolates".
spinoza1111 3 years ago
Spinoza, traditional painting belongs to the Old masters. This is Digital painting with is far more advanced.
onthisworld 3 years ago
Only technically. I would say that artistically it is a step backward, because the artist has no control over the viewer's experience: the viewer's experience depends on the viewer's technical apparatus.
Also, "the paradox of CD recording applies": a computer and its graphic engines are systems with a finite number of states. No such bound exists on human perception since it's analog as well as digital. That's why listeners were sometimes disappointed with the "perfection" of CDs.
spinoza1111 3 years ago
I'm no big fan of Bouguereau. But, your art here doesn't look like Bouguereau. It's a decent, craftsmanlike work in its own right. It's a Bouguereau IMITATION that would never be mistaken for a Bouguereau.
You see, it incorporates methods that were being worked on by Sargent, Whistler and Winterthaler and which those guys stole from the Impressionists, including adding chiaroscuro notes after color.
spinoza1111 3 years ago
The final result makes it look as if the subject has facial hair because of the basic mistake (see below) of adding chiaroscuro after color. The facial color is patchy and powdery for this reason.
Please understand. My own work ain't great either. I'm just saying the most Old Masters, and probably Bouguereau, did color after chiaroscuro because the human eye sees the chiaroscuro BEFORE it sees the color: for example, people are said to remember stressful events in black and white!
spinoza1111 3 years ago
lol, facial hair?
You can use all the technical artistic words you want, it's still amazing, and the 'underlying drawing' has NOTHING to do with the how the viewer perceives the finished piece, and so it is irrelevant to us; the viewers.
Newnewmodel 3 years ago
Nothing? Go to a museum and get off your computer, because on your computer, you see nothing but pixels.
The experience of seeing a real painting IS the experience of seeing the underpainting, and it's different depending on technique. Compare for example Titian to Raphael.
It's amazing that so few art "connesewers" know so little about technique and so remain in a superficial state of self-admiring lack of awareness of what they "see".
spinoza1111 3 years ago
The 'underlying drawing' is 'underlying', so no matter how you look at the piece of art as an observer (on a computer or in a gallery) you won't see it because it's underlying. i.e. under the painting.
Also, you have to be on a computer to be able to reply to me, so you could be on a computer just as much as me if not more. I was in fact in a gallery very recently. My appreciation of digital artistry does not mean i don't also appreciate analog art.
Newnewmodel 3 years ago
I also, i do hope you realise your sarcastic "connesewers" comment, only serves to make you seem even more conceited than you already do.
You are making a ridiculous assumption about thousands of people you have never met.
Art is moving not just forward at the moment, but in every direction. Digital, Instillation, Multimedia, etc. But that does not mean we have to leave behind what the 'Old Masters' left for us. You should stop seeing digital art as a threat, it's jsut another artform.
Newnewmodel 3 years ago
Also, and with all due respect, there are weaknesses in the underlying drawing which Bouguereau would not have countenanced, and of which his technique in particular, and that of "old masters" in general, is VERY unforgiving.
Gimp and Photoshop place strict, mathematical bounds on expressiveness which aren't present in oil painting. However, oil painting in the Bouguereau style is a strict and demanding vocation.
spinoza1111 3 years ago
Interesting and welldone, and Bouguereau style...but not his technique. His technique was based on the pre-impressionist monochrome underpainting which was completed BEFORE color was added, in the form of glaze and scumbling.
In Photoshop, the mathematical technique used to simulate translucent glaze means that monochrome glaze over color is IDENTICAL to color glaze over a fullbodied monochrome, but this is not the case in actual paint.

"In Photoshop, the mathematical technique used to simulate translucent glaze means that monochrome glaze over color is IDENTICAL to color glaze over a fullbodied monochrome, but this is not the case in actual paint." This isn't quite true. Layers can be made to interact in a range of ways, not all of which are commutive. In other words, the layer order does matter.

While it is true that digital art can't capture things like brushstrokes etc but, neither does a digital pic of a traditionally painted masterpiece and that does not render it any less a masterpiece.
And let's face it most people in this age will probably only see a digital image of a masterpiece they'll either not have the oportunity(sp?) or the inclination to go see it in person. So IMO if it "speaks" to you and you like it it's art plain and simple no matter the medium used to achieve it.

nekidspaceman 3 years ago
run into other problems like blending and evening out tones and edges. Something a computer cannot just "DO" at the push of a button. It still takes a human with instincts and talent to make digital art. But hey, if you really want texture so bad go lick some bark. You don't see photographers harassed because you can't "feel" the images presented...are they any less an artist?
millislim 3 years ago
look at the beginning of the video with the laying out of the basic framework. Now, if people don't like the picture then it's subjective. It has no bearing on whether or not digital painting is art. There is a whole lot of oils I can't stand but it doesn't make it any less art. Some people can't work with some mediums. Some people just favor other mediums. A lack of texture or possible "muddy-ing" doesn't reduce the skill of a digital artist. Those who chose a computer instead of a canvas
millislim 3 years ago
wow! what a flame war! I've seen this video quite a few times without reading the comments but man o man! I just graduated from a four year university in studio art and this has always been a sensitive subject. Digital versus traditional. Now (not to take club2987's side) but he/she is right to some extent that there are some things digitals cannot capture like texture...we can respect that right?
but watercolor really doesn't either does it? You can tell this artist has traditional training
millislim 3 years ago
I mean without even looking at the reference, I can see the right eye is too far right, the nose on the right is too far angled up, the mouth too far angled up left. Many things don't sit right. The tones are spotty, and the black "spraypaint" unnatural. However, the reason it looks bad is not because it doesnt look real or human, it's because the variety is too wild and the portrait has no unity; therefore no powerful essence. I can keep going if ud like.
Club2987 3 years ago
MANY times I have seen a PHOTOGRAPH that didn't look "right". I'd think "ya know, if this were a drawing people would say that the nose is off or that the lips are too low" but it is a PHOTO so your opinion that the right eye is too far right may be incorrect. : )
dajzilla 3 years ago
I'm confused on what point you're trying to make. That this is a photo? This is a copy of a painting. In which I can assure the painting is much more accurate. Although I do applaud the artist for his/her efforts; bouguereau is a tough master to copy as are many. I think they'd have an easier time either getting an exact likeness(if that is their goal), or revealing their own unique vision of his work, without a computer and tablet to go through.
Club2987 3 years ago
No, I am saying that when you say that the eye looks wrong that sometimes even in a PHOTOGRAPH ( ie REAL life) things look "wrong". That's all. Now, go away.
