    I'd say that the colors are more a light pastel than dull. Dull sounds a little bit too harsh. I like this picture. Thanks for giving us these tips. I also might have done oil painting and would have had some trouble with that because I'd be too impatient to wait for it to dry.

    I enjoyed your video. Brava! And your painting is lovely. As for gesso, you might try Golden Gesso-it's a real gesso (calcium carbonate) but with a synthetic glue rather than a hide glue. Our students at the Angel Academy of Art, Florence, are encouraged to use it. You left out the fact that Mucha always worked from squared-up photos of his models.

    Hey, great video! I recently fell in love with the art nouveau style, so decided to buy some mucha books, I ordered a few random ones online, but so far, because he has multiple styles, only very small sections of the books have shown his art nouveau / poster style like you demonstrate here ( for example I got that 450 page book and only about 35 of the pages are what I had hoped! ) I just wondered if you could recommend any of his books specifically ones that have the majority art nouveau art work throughout? there are so many and each one seems like a bit of a gamble lol.

    Very nice. Your painting turned out really great using oils. Not easy. Can I ask how long it took. I used to love using oils but the wait between drying time just dragged things out. S there a drying agent you use? Your line work and fine detail using oils was especially impressive. A big fan of Mucha. As a graphic designer I feel he was the first to really transition from fine art to design

    Brooke Bowen Art I am Czech too, basically the same sound as in the German name “Bach”, but foreigners are usually unable to pronounce it, so I suggest pronouncing “h” rather than “k”. The “ch” sound (in phonetics represented as ‘x’) is very similar to “h”, but like a bit lighter. So say “Mu-hah” rather than “Muka”, well the word muka in Czech means torment lol.
