currently doing a master copy of this entire painting as a senior project in my undergrad FA studies and I’ve been scrambling to find videos to help me expand my concept of technique. i’m so used to using transparency that laying paint on the canvas the way the masters do terrifies me. stumbling across your page earlier today was a godsend. thank you so, so much for these videos!!!

At 3:18 I would have cursed my lack of skill and given up! How you refine and adjust to the beautiful finished painting is what I need to persist with! Thank you.

this is awesome

I want to be your apprentice, even if it’s virtual!!!

Seriously! Who’s painting these? Who are you? I just want to follow you on social media, etc. and learn from you! You’re incredible!

Who is painting?

Brilliant, thank you for sharing. Your video inspired me to try a study of this having painted other John Singer Sargent portraits, I have the same book.I couldn't work out if the dark on the left was shadow or long hair? I am thinking now it's Violets hair.

Forgive me, but who is the artist or artists in this KZbin channel? Who did this study? Thank you so much!!!

Gorgeous, thank you for that, what wonderfully executed, best from Tokyo, James

This is quite brilliant.

That blue was well spotted! Great painting too!

Great work always. Do you wipe the fan brush between each use?

thanks for taking the time to do these vids I love llya repin Artwork. you made a Fantastic copy as all ways not easy i know Great Job. I've got stacks of those brushes lol

Amazing technique and without a drawing too , you have amazing spacial clarity , i know you tend to keep your id quiet , but can you share which country you are based in , if its the UK i would come to one of your tutorials or workshops !!!! If you do them of course Keep it up Sargent is Amazing and you are too ....

Great painting + great technique 🔥🔥🔥

Magistrale demonstration ! On comprend parfaitement les différentes étapes par lesquelles on construit un portrait , et le résultat est magnifique ! J'ai encore en memoire l'autoportrait de Rembrandt que vous avez mis en ligne et qui fut pour moi une revelation de votre maîtrise !!! Merci pour cet enseignement !

Hope to see your work more often.

Very good, I was missing your videos, it's very gratifying when a notification appears saying that you posted a new video.

Are you gonna post more often? Also great video

Excellent! And with an old brush.

Pls make a playlist of zorn pls Nice portraits

I just can't believe your channel does not reach thousands of views. It's unfair.

The best portrait

John Singer Sargeant or Norman Rockwell? 😀

Mi copia es mejor

I just stumbled across this, Rosina was my great great aunt. I never met her obviously, tho my mother did when she was very young and Rosina was very old. Thank you for keeping her name and image alive.

it have to have nerve When in the start it look so it not resolvable Fine at last .Great , it have to feel form and paint at the same time .

Why there is no sound ?

So much to say .

They are both nice...but I work a bit different. Have to : at 20 min ( sometime less).

Beautiful work.

Wow

another question, on what are you painting? paper?

Hello, Im facinating with your videos, but they have no sound?

jaja

is it any list of current palette? Thanks for your videos)

what do you use to clean your brush?

The magnificent John Singer Sargent. I truly love his works. But as an artist myself, I also deeply appreciate and equally admire our contemporary artists... who inspire us to improve our own individual skills!!

wheres the sound?

This is extraordinary! I am also an artist but I am humbled by the level of expertise from this demo. It is the first one I have seen from your page but I am about to watch some more. Excellent work!

Impressive! Mancini worked larger, of course, but you were able to get the essence of the piece accurately with some nice color. Those canvas sheets are smooth with little tooth. Having seen a few of Mancini's originals, I know he created a much rougher surface. This painting is 39x23.6". Like all of his work, the final surface has a matte finish, which tells me he more likely blocked in with heavier paint, going for big shapes first then working into that. He was friends with Sargent and Boldini, among others, who surely influenced him. After his first layer dried, he would drag bristles with less impasto over the rough surface, which is evident in many of his faces and cloth where the highlights are hit with fresh paint, but the lower areas are left untouched, usually leaving a darker underpainting. My guess is he used turps to lay in the final thinner color because of the matte finish and to thin the paint enough to drag delicate strokes. (drag over a dry surface, not paint wet into wet). In a book I have on Mancini, photos show him using a special grid device made of strings, one in front of his canvas, and an identical one placed in front of his model with a matching string grid -sight size with a bit more accuracy. He would pull back the strings then release them to slap against the heavy wet layer(s) of paint, giving him something like guidelines to keep his drawing accurate. Odd, but I guess it worked for him. In this piece I doubt he used the device. Its pretty evident in larger works, where obvious lines or blocks can be seen. I'm going to check out your other demos, thanks for sharing!

Excellent copy! What brand of paint do you use?

Impressive
