Favourite living painter. Love ya, Mr leffel.

Thats amazing..... Never seen anything like it.

[@paulashford4155]

His painting is very sculptural. He's great at it. I notice he can do brilliant paintings with likenesses. I guess some demos don't always look like the model.... not a big deal.

let the nose paint itself by putting cool colors around it

[@paulashford4155]

Been looking around at modern day painters. Some I really like, but this is more like Rembrandt school that I can find. Nerdrum school too, but they seemed to have gone a bit away from Rembrandt kind of beauty, to more effects or even shocking images. I admire both Schools but this seems nice brushwork to me... if I can shake off the sometimes illustration look and paint like this..this is less is more like poetry...just my opinion,

The hardest part of learning from Leffel is translating what he says to something useful,

Anyone knows what his palette is composed of -all twelve of them?

[@mard9802]

I don't know but maybe that info is in his book?

@@mard9802 I"m sure, but I can't afford the book now:( Thanks anyways.

[@mard9802]

@@amirbostani734 you can go to the website for Rublev oil paints - it's called Natural Pigments. They make excellent oil paint and pride themselves on making 'historical paints'. Anyway they have articles on their site and in the articles section search for Rembrandt's palette. They list the colours he used. Hope that helps.

@@mard9802 Thank you much.

[@mard9802]

@@amirbostani734 you're welcome - it's not the easiest site to go through, but roam around in there - lots of good articles. Plus if you look at their oil paints they have good info on each colour. Enjoy - I roam around Rublev colour section alot.

Can I download/purchase this anywhere?

You can watch the full demonstrations on Bright Light Fine Art by subscribing there.

Great demo from an outstanding teacher/artist showing process and paint/brush handling but let's be honest here; the result doesn't look anything like the model. Maybe that wasn't the goal here , not sure, but the fact remains that something is amiss nevertheless.

[@dmonteiroarte]

Why does David Leffel continue to paint demonstrations? He is no longer able to hold the brush with the firmness of the old days.

[@devinmichaelroberts9954]

First off anyone with any actual classical ability knows you dont stiff hand the brush, you hold it as light as possible which is why you see masters drop their brush often. I can tell by your work you have no idea how to hold a brush. Very stiff and bad value control! Work on your attitude as well!

Great work
