I always thought the round end was simply to rest gently across the top of the painting, not to be placed on the canvas. Thanks!

I know this method, but haven't tried it because usually we have much larger canvases and papers. Never thought about practicing at home using this method, because I didn't know it improves your skills not just helps to get your drawing or underpainting right. Will try!

Very accurate

Intense radiant colors

Amazing job! Thanks, Florent!!

'The E' and ' so on and so forth' repeated over and over. Why? Totally incomprehensible. Hope you're not a teacher!

Here is the thing. More expancive oil, more sulfur it contains. Sulfur can provoke a disease called lupus. But without sulfur in it it useless...

Merci beaucoup ! Vos explications sont d'une clarté et d'une précision rare !

you saved my paintingsss

my peripheral vision sucks and always hindered me from being good

I am not a fan of the middle ratchet sysem typically. I find over time the tray will wobble back abd forth. The biggest think with H frames to pay attention to is the top mast not being fixed with the tray as most will hit the ceiling before getting to the height you want. The other big thing is that the top clamp comes all the down = Many H frame easels the top clamp stops where the middle bar on the lower portion starts.

❤Thankyou Sir❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is the first time I’ve heard it explained about the size of the head in a portrait-made so that it gives the viewer a sense of perspective-it was an ‘Aha!’ moment for me. Thank you Florent 👏

Excellent information. Thank you Florent,

Another term for the 'terminator/bedbug line' could be the 'turning area,' as one of my (best) drawing professors called it.

Is there a tool that helps get those lines in the right place please

don't buy oil colors, trust me they are complicated, don't regret it like I did

I love these! Thank you, Florent!

GREAT VIDEO THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟, DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜,

I get redue a painting that got ruined that I had thought of doing a cross hair lines. But transfer it from a 11x14 to 24x36. This is helpful in letting me know I was on the right track!

You are the lord and master of nature.. Salute.... brother..truly

Thank you, it made me wiser,

use a small strip of transparent cellophane to place your color on and just lay it on the area you want to test.

Thanks. This was really heplful

I start my paintings with your last example.

Well taught. Thanks

Interesting and good that the color circle are debated like this. Why don’t we just abandon the primary colors and the color circle? They are false. We have two opposing color spectrums and they can very well be used to explain complementary colors and color harmonies. Like in music. And the color circle do not meet in violet, they end in infra red and ultra violet…. Time to leave the old theory and create a new one?

This is why I made my own easel, to unlock the style of painting that I wish to create. I can work for hour on my easel, it has a built in maul/t-square, and adjustable beam, counter balanced, which are features that cost nearly 2 grand store bought! I made mine for less than 150$. Easels are a scam.

Fabulous video, I had no idea about the cold wax. Have you tried different finishes, satin or matte?

How can “yellow” be a primary colour? I drink many drinks of many colours and it always comes out yellow. Cheers 🍻

I have severe spinal disability, including two disc replacements in my neck, and must stand to paint, so the ergonomics of my studio setup are very import. I use a counterweight easel. It looks similar to this one but does not have any ratcheting and can bring a painting both lower and higher. It uses counterweights behind the easel attached by a wire. You just place standard weight lifting weights on the counterweight until it's around the same weight as your canvas or panel. You can then lower it or raise it as little as a millimeter at a time with only your pinky finger. This way whatever part of your piece you are working on can be right in front of your face or wherever is comfortable to you. I've also seen a very expensive easel that attaches to the back of canvases and can move both vertically and horizontally. I believe Jeremy Lipking uses it.

Merci !

This looks really helpful but I wished there were more examples of the head faced in a few different directions. Or does this method only work for profiles.

Sap green is so pretty.

Bien joué!!!!

Thank you!

When I was in highschool and stil loved painting, before I stopped due to depression.. due to being poor I could only afford cheap acrylic and ..tempera. Anyway I just mixed vegetable oil in there. im not even kidding. The hardest part was figuring out the amount. Worked perfectly.

I feel that taking the Color Theory class before your other classes is the right path for me. So excited for this! Thank you, Florent!

I’m pretty sure I am not being held back by my easel. I get you need new content but Jesus

There’s also RGB in lighting.

Hi Florent. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us as I have learnt alot from your tutorials. You mentioned that you can strengthen your H easel and I was wondering if you could share how you could do that. I have this easel as well and it is a little lose/shaky no matter how much I have tightened all knobs. Thanks again.

Gracias por esta explicación 😊

My budget friendly list tends to be, Black, white, burnt sienna, vermillion, burnt umber, for neutrals and skin tones. And I use the CMY palette for everything else. As you can probably I don’t have that much money to spend on a wide range of paints, but these work quite nicely for most projects.

It's almost time for me to take your Color Theory class!!!! I am becoming VERY EXCITED! Thank you, Florent!

Very useful list. Merci Florent!

Great teaching !
