  • A bit of irony aside, 15,542 steps is easy if you take one at a time.

  • To stop motion something like that you must need to be seriously organized. Now I get the title haha. In your usual work do you work in steps alot? Seems like for a big realistic oil painting like this you would need a super computer brain to not work in stages.

  • @MarcusMcCabe actually, no, I don't usually work in planned stages, it actually usually slows me down to do so, its mostly improv, very slow improv, but improv.

  • Is there an art studio that still teaches this refined style of painting? I have always had a hidden desire since I was young to paint like the old dutch masters, and I was just wondering if there was a place I could go to learn this.

  • @Lieblingsfachful

    There are several classical painting schools in Florence, the Florence Academy, the Cecil School and the Angel School. I'm also always willing to set up a teacher/apprentice situation in my studio.

  • Thanks a lot for posting it. Let me ask you: what brand of oil do you use? ( I guess it is oil right?) Also thanks for taking your time to reply the posts.

  • I use rembrandt, a local florence brand called Maimeri Puro, a few tubes of Micheal Hardings, and a few other tubes of this brand or that. Yes, oils

see all
