Some of these comments are just silly; this type of work is incredibly important in the development of technique. It is easy to take paint and apply it on a canvas and pronounce it as practice. When you emulate the work of a painter such as da Vinci there is no hiding space; you have to observe, act and reflect. It is far more difficult to conduct this type of study than any other. Once you have learned this then you can move away into other technique. I am in awe of those who do practice this way - I lack both the physical and mental discipline, as well as the patience to do so. I have subscribed.

I am a huge fan of yours-I love them all, but I particularly like your Velàzquez and Sargent videos. I have our students (Angel Academy of Art, Florence) watch them as further studies into what they are learning in class (a 3-year full-time professional-painting programme). The way the masters learned was by making copies (in the very old days, they would copy their master's work, but by the 19th-century the students were learning by copying others' paintings in the art galleries). Once these skills were mastered, the students would then try their hand at applying to nature what they had learned by copying. This was a huge and difficult step forward, but would have been impossible without the year or more of copying. This is how Bouguereau, Leighton, Alma-Tadema, Bastian-Lepage, Sargent, et al. learned. If you'll forgive a pedantic note, Leonardo's drapery studies from small draped wooden mannequins were done in egg tempera. Who are you, by the way? I can't find any personal info on you!!!!

@@olddirtymasters Hi! I actually have the answer to this! Modern gesso and traditional gesso use different binders (acrylic vs rabbit hide), and since egg tempera relies on a porous surface to adhere to, you need a primer that won't form that plastic film that modern gesso creates. You can find recipes for traditional gesso that use gypsum/plaster of paris and rabbit skin glue, which will be a much more suitable surface for egg tempera as well as water based media like watercolors or gouache!

Outstanding! Beautiful work! Thank you for your demonstration. I have struggled with fabric for sometime and have often avoided it. Thank you!

I've watched several different people on here painting fabric and everyone does it differently. One artist and teacher advises to paint the dark areas first and to not blend anything until the end. Someone else advises not to paint on a white canvas. It can get confusing if you try to follow everyone's techniques.

you could use drying retarders or GOLDEN slow dry acrylics. They will never be as good to use as oils and they will still dry too quick, however, you could totally achieve similar effects.

So it's basically just dry brush blending and then going back with the black details and some white highlights for dramatic contrasts. Over An hour? This must have taken you over 4 hours to paint in real time!

I say, the drawing methods should be left up to the individual's comfort level with many materials and devices available today. However, drawing from sight will train you to draw from imagination. The old masters had no choice, thus their work was technically superior.

@@oananoemi You don't know what you are talking about. No one has to know how to draw to be an artist. Lots of painters use other methods to sketch an image on paper, canvas, etc. other than free-handed drawing. When I worked in theme parks and painted large murals, do you think I was allowed to get up there and sketch out the picture free-handed? Hell no. It had to be exact. Sometimes we created patterns of subjects, taped them to the wall and traced around them then painted them. Sometimes if it was at night we used a projector. NO ONE climbed a ladder and started sketching away with a pencil.

This Artist is using this to help guide him. He doesn’t have to paint exactly like DaVinci to accomplish his own goal using his own technique. He’s done an amazing job. I think someone is too critical and arrogant. Remember this: “No one sits high enough to look down on anyone”. (Except God).

Je ne vois vraiment pas le Rapport avec Vinci. Lui, c'est l'art des transparence, de la finesse, des couches tellement fines qu'on ne peut les percevoir, des dégradés si subtils qu'aucune plage de couleur n'est discernable. Ici, il a 10 kg de peinture sur la toile et rien que le croquis de départ, genre décalquage à la truelle, laisse prévoir malheureusement le résultat final. Il fallait simplement appeler cette vidéo "N'est pas Vinci qui veut" et là la démonstration touchait à la maestria.

You did this the easy way, by transferring the original to the canvas. I would have liked to see you doing it yourself. Can you?

Da Vinci would’ve been confused by this comment. He would certainly have loved to use any technology to help him reach the result he had in mind. Showing off a skill that isn’t required anymore is just showing off. It is fun to learn that technique, though, and there are plenty of relevant videos that show how to draw from life.

It’s good you’re teaching such a technique to folks of such youth. I never had six month training when I was 12, and don’t know anyone who would have their kids do such a thing, but I imagine that kids would learn technique very quickly - much as the way that children can pick up languages. Painting fabric is an easy but really useful skill, covering the matter of values as they respond to light differently based on the qualities of the fabric, the possibilities of color as responsive to multiple light sources, basic fundamentals of blending colors in whatever medium, with careful attention to the value curves which can either convey the proper sense of the texture when done right, or cause it to be seen as something not intended when done without skillful scrutiny. As a fundamental, fabric has the advantage of concentrating the student’s attention on those things, without the danger of causing obvious failures when proportions and shapes aren’t well observed - so much so that after a bit of practice, one can trust one’s imagination to provide a decent representation of common fabrics when called upon, making this sort of exercise invaluable for the young artist. Many of the techniques learned in such studies will translate easily to other materials, and the careful observation of values and color modulation is at least as important as any other technique in the field of naturalistic depictions of observed subjects. So it’s good that you’re teaching this critical skill to people so young. I just worry that, at such an age, they are so impressionable that your personality struggles might become theirs as well. Such is the downfall of too many earnest, aspiring artists, and often has the result of creating a series of challenges of the sort that might lead them to become a teacher of 12 year olds - not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I suspect it isn’t the dream that most 12 year olds have in mind when they commit to a six month intensive course. Thank goodness that some do have that dream, though! It’s important work, and at least as consequential as the work of most artists!
