Thank you, one more thing, does he discuss all of the materials he uses in his videos?

[robliberace]

Yes, he's very thorough with everything.

Where would one easily buy those red chalk pencils he uses in Europe? (maybe benelux?-

Because I've asked around and most shopkeepers here haven't even heard of it, but if I give a brandname and tell them specifically what to order, they might.

Thanks in advance.

[robliberace]

Most art stores, actually. They're just Prismacolor Verithins.

[mo91919]

I see. Thank you for the quick reply.

I'll go and order a box or scarlet red then.

I'm just guessing the type of red ofcourse :)

[robliberace]

Scarlet works (as does any color) but I use mostly "terra cotta" colored pencils--it looks most like sanguine chalk.

Good luck

[robliberace]

terra cotta, actually

@puppeteye My apologies, but I don't see a connection between how the fact that Rob sells his videos is a function of his ego. This is his profession. He spent years a lot of money learning how to draw so he could support his family. It's not about ego. I have met him, taken classes with him, and can say he is probably the most humble, unassuming and supportive art teacher I have ever had. Please don't assume every artist who is talented must be terrible person. Just not the case here.

Robert Liberace has set the bar high. HIs DVDs truly are educational tools. RL is a master and eloquently expresses his ideas while conducting demonstrations. His fine gestural pencil marks on the toned support demand a high level in production quality and the quality shines through. This is not a pro stepping out of his league to make bread & butter money off of hobbyists. This is a conscientious effort to share knowledge from a master made available to everyone interested.

@puppeteye

Yes, demonstration videos can provide a net return, but only if they provide valuable information. It would be impossible for a knowledgeable and skilled artist, such as Rob, to provide lessons to everyone. Nor would any accomplished artist be able to provide endless lessons without compensation. It is absurd to criticize someone for providing a desired service, such as these DVDs, for a modest price. Furthermore, exposure and interest are what allows and artist to make a living.

I can't speak for Rob, but I am fairly certain it is just an umber or sienna pigment wash diluted with mineral spirits.
