I Think this Technique is also very attractive as a very special Way of being totally present in the Now - it radiates stillness, beauty and transcendence 🙏

Excellent video as usual, Maestro Borrero! 👌 Super interesting as always. Greetings.

[@jeffyaltavasquez6278]

Missed so much your beautiful presentations, was a wonderful video!

[@EnriqueEtievan]

Muy buena explicación. Siempre es díficil de explicar el proceso manual de una obra que es la diferencia entre la teoría y la práctica en el arte. MAs usted creo que consiguió através de este video unir las dos. Saludos cordiales.

How can I create red lake?

Is there a chance where you can talk about Van Eyck , PeTrus Christus, van der weyden and Antonello da Messina ?

Thanks Louie 😍

Si lees la historia de los Macabeos traducida por Vintrusi ahí está todo pero en clave oculta. Sólo hay dos copias que están guardadas en la Biblioteca Vaticana.

¿Hola Luis, que opinas de Epoxide Oil de Natural Pigments cómo medio para hacer veladuras? A mí me gusta lo transparente, lo rápido que se seca y que no tiene secantes. Pero seca súper brilloso y poquito chicloso, aunque eso se puede remediar con varnìs Soluvar.

[@gabeort58]

¿Halo? ¿Halo?

Botellita de geres !

[@allenvoss7977]

So what are some of the combinations that are good I have a purple foundation or violet what would I glaze on top of that to change it or enrich it what are some common recipes? Thank you.

[@LuisBorreroVisualArtist]

You can get a fairly decent violet by first applying a red color such as alizarin over a light underpainting followed by two very thin ultramarine glaze layers on top. You have to keep the glazes very thin otherwise the ultramarine will darken the overall color scheme.

Μεταφραση ελληνικα???

[@stuartwray6175]

Why don't you use time-lapse? Allowing the paint to dry before adding the next layer

[@nataliazorinliu]

You have to learn to draw as the old masters. What you are showing us is a colouring-in (the transferred lines) for adults. The Old masters drew with the paint not just “filled in” the colours. The Old Masters technique was based on a constant creation and improvement of their paintings, go with the flow but according to a “plan”(the vision, idea, composition, etc) But in order to practice their painting and their glazing technique you have to be able to constantly control the drawing/vision in your mind, no other way. The conclusion: you teach what you are yet to learn. Good luck in your learning journey! (Hopefully without those coloured-in “master copies”)

[@GnaReffotsirk]

Coloring in is necessary when one is copying though. For accuracy right?

[@nataliazorinliu]

@@GnaReffotsirk The Old Masters didn’t transfer from photographs and didn’t colour-in their paintings, and the glazing technique has nothing to do with colouring-in.

[@RapidBlindfolds]

I think it’s fair enough if this artist is copying a painting for demonstration purposes to focus on the layering of colour and paint. They had to film, script and edit it too, so I think it’s fair game to expedite anything that’s not strictly necessary

[@nataliazorinliu]

Majority of so-called artists nowadays can only paint; therefore, they are ‘painters,’ and their drawing skills and abilities are limited. This KZbinr very likely falls into the category of modern artists who primarily rely on tracing from photos rather than creating original artwork freehand from scratch; otherwise, they would need very advanced drawing skills for that. By the way, it is a common myth that one can copy the Old Masters’ paintings; they can only see and copy the very top layer, sometimes of hundreds of other layers underneath. Nobody really knows the technique unless the old master himself taught them.

[@Aeaaoooaaa]

@@nataliazorinliua lot of “old masters” were slave to references as well though, as they relied heavily on real life models. I don’t think you really know what you’re talking about, considering it’s known that Caravaggio had models sit in dark rooms with a hole through the ceiling for dramatic lighting.

[@phillipstroll7385]

Another painter that traced. Breaks my heart too because before I learned how to think I loved Carravaggio's work. It amazes me how all the skilled laborers we call artists all traced. Yet when a 6 year old traces we don't call them artists. Why not? When in reality if anyone should be deemed in awe it should be the 6 year old. Negate they don't even have the motor skill control adults do. So there isn't anything at all impressive or achievement about an adult whom traces. While I would give a 6 year old whom traces money, because even though they have no skill in drawing, it's harder for them.

[@stuartwray6175]

'Before I learned how to think'? 'Bedstead even though'?

[@phillipstroll7385]

@@stuartwray6175 thank you for proofreading for me. I'm so used to my assistants doing it that I don't even check anymore. Because I know there's always someone who will do it for me for free. I'm am curious though as to where Google autofill pulls these words form. At any rate, thank for being my proofreader.

You don’t understand art lol

[@phillipstroll7385]

@@user-wh5mk2ew8m really? Funny since I've put three kids through university & paid cash for four properties painting and selling art. Guess I just got lucky huh lol. I'll make a deal with you. We both create a peice. You tell everyone you traced yours. I'll show that I didn't. Let's see which one sells. Since you're pro tracing you shouldn't have any issue admitting to all prospective consumers that you traced the image from someone else's art. Oh and btw, just out of curiosity, when you trace do you pay the original artist for their intellectual property or is that just something you expect corporations to do.

[@user-wh5mk2ew8m]

@@phillipstroll7385 if you sell art then you'd understand a majority of contemporary artists use some form of projection or gridding, the same methods used by old masters like van Eyck. Collectors don't care how a piece of art is made anymore (the majority of blue-chip level artists don't even make their own work) the value is in the artist's attachment and the work's broader cultural significance.
