You're an incredible artist.

[@phillipstroll7385]

That is very much the case but he's wrong about the artist. William thought everything out to the last detail and drew competed fill detail on canvas before painting. He didn't paint from a mere under drawing. William painted from a completely finished detailed drawing. Just like van icke. Then they varnished over the completed detailed drawing. Then they added their paints. This guy is good but he isn't honest about teaching the masters ways.

My favorite artist is Bouguereau and there's no close second. Your video popped up in my recommended and I clicked. Honestly, I am completely AMAZED at your talent. I am not an artist at all. I can't draw anything, so I am in absolute awe of what you did here. My goodness are you gifted! Thank you for sharing!

[@madelinebarker4862]

I'm a digital artist and I've been wanting to change or try out traditional painting. I've been watching your videos quite a lot and I have gained a lot of knowledge. But what painting supplies would you recommend for a beginner? I don't want to spend loads on paint just so I can paint something crap you know 😅

[@loll1265]

id say try out acrylics first, theyre cheaper than oil, and if u like it move onto oils and watch videos on how to use them, make sure to get good quality brushes(they dont need to be expensive of course!)

[@yurinotplisetsky]

personally when i use oils my art work is better than when i use acrylics , i would recommend finding the right medium for you and trying different kinds

[@kousara_2005]

Oils take way longer to dry. They also have quite a pungent smell and need mediums such as linseed oil and tupentine to be thinned out and work, and mostly they are very expensive. Oil paints also require a hard surface to paint such as canvas or wood as they can easily penetrate through other surface such as paper. So to start tradational arts, start by practicing your drawings by using diffrent mediums such as graphite, charcoal etc. And then for beginners, i suggest poster colours to be the best. They are cheaper, very pigmented and can easily be diluted. Get used to the medium and then try other paints like gesso, acrylic etc. And start by techniques (depending on what type of genre you paint), study other artists work and try to recreate them and pick what suits you the best and then put your own innovation into it. Hope it helps!

Thank you for sharing knowledge! Your demo is really great because the way you make the copy has much plasticity, modeling and those beautiful subtle transitions of value and temperature! I’ve seen so many Bouguereau painting style demos, but yours is definitely one of the best quality ones. It helps me to improve and complete my own master copies. Greetings from Mexico City!

Thank you Sergey. I always wondered when and how the green hue become part of the skin tone. As i notice almost any portrait i have researched has greenish hue.

Very well done. Think that you have captured the likeness quite closely. Thank you for an enjoyable video.

[@dripspaint3341]

the lighting set up of your video session is great. I have seen too many other painting tutorial that we cannot even see the painting properly because of reflection. Also your close up are so clear and we can see the color, brushstroke clearly. A question: the video is it real time? how fast is the video speed up? Because I see I lot of rapid brushstroke so I assume this is not real time.

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

Thanks for your feedback) some parts are sped up, though the full video lesson is available to download from my page, 3 hours long, no speeding up, and of course a lot more sharp close ups, plus a bonus part "How to stretch canvas".

[@danielm3670]

How can I stop oil paint from sinking too quickly when I paint? The color does not retain its brightness later on, as compared when being applied during a painting session. Bouguereau's colors seem more intense than today's oil paints.

What is the purpose of underpainting? To set the tonal values, but if so, why do you paint opaque over it? I don't understand the mechanics. In 6:30, when taking the applying the first color on top of the underpainting, the applied color seems to be off compared to underpainting? What am I missing here, why do underpainting at all?

[@artbystacyhouston6111]

Oil paint naturally becomes more transparent over time. It may appear Opaque when he does the "overpainting" and "glazing" but it really is more like each paint layer film laid down is akin to a piece of glass. Also, if you set down the values first, you will make less mistakes and do a whole lot less work when it comes to doing the color. Your underpainting paint tubes tend to be less expensive, so by doing all the hard work of composition and value changes you use your more expensive colors on top- allowing them to go a lot further.

[@JoseDelacruz-wo7ne]

[@AdamW-eo2yq]

A lot of videos talk about how important underpainting is and everything However I just wing it, mix up the correct colours and paint over a drawing and trust the process. It’s probably much slower though

[@shogunfox7141]

Now do Napoleon Crossing the Alps (the one with the horse, not donkey). Whole thing, not just the head. LOL. Great job. Did the original artists started outlining before painting or could they do it on a blank canvas from pure imagination? I see that it took Michelangelo 4 years on the Sistine Chapel's ceiling and Da Vince 4 years just for Mona Lisa which was only 2'6 x 1'9. Did Michelangelo had help?

[@marymcandrew7667]

I notice Bouguereau paintings are mostly with a grey background, did he paint on a grey base not white? Excellent painting btw!

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

You mean his unfinished alla primas? Usually he painted backgrounds, like landscapes or so, actually can't recall any grey background 🤔

[@marymcandrew7667]

Yes that's what I meant, so did he paint on grey for those alla prima paintings but on white ground for his regular paintings?

[@xoasc7607]

I imagine that it'll be a bit more work but could be done and probably a lot quicker as oil paint takes longer to "dry"

[@chessshyrecat]

Not at all like Bougereau painted. More like a modern Alla Prima approach to painting. There was also a lot of proportion fixing off camera :D

[@harrybellingham98]

awesome!

[@StrawberryLegacy]

That isn't even remotely how Bouguereau painted. Like all the old masters he worked in several layers to produce a more luminous realistic look. I know this video is for beginners but even beginners should start to learn that you can't do everything in one layer and expect it to look nearly as good as investing the time to work in layers.

[@timtam333]

??? He is painting in layers and taking time so idk what ur problem is

[@StrawberryLegacy]

​@@timtam333 He has one sketch layer and then really only one opaque layer that actually makes up the painting. That's not how someone like Bouguereau worked. It's also way too abstract. See how you can make out the individual brush strokes? In classical realism that's unthinkable, especially in the face. I have nothing against this style at all, it's just that the title of the video is totally misleading.
