Oil Painting tips and BIG ANNOUCEMENT! Yay!

[@rfcmadem]

Today is William-Adolphe Bouguereau birthday. Great artist.

[@matteoplini9267]

Everytime I look at one of his works I feel the enormous amount of craftsmanship this man had.unbelieveble.

[@djo-dji6018]

Craftsmanship was all he had.

[@matteoplini9267]

@@djo-dji6018 definitely do not think so..

[@LoriArt824]

Bougereau’s paintings at the Met stopped me in my tracks (also Cot’s The Storm) when I was in high school..I am still as mesmerized by them. My class had to come and get me because I couldn’t move! I only started learning to paint..still very much learning ..40 years later and was very drawn to your work Scott. I appreciate how humble you are in your discussion..to me you are a master. Thanks for sharing this and reigniting that spark! SOMEDAY I will retire and paint full time! Until then I dabble and am inspired by your videos.

[@nelidagarcia7412]

Really loved this. I wish I could see the painting in real life and then hear your explanation. Observation is so important. You have inspired me.

[@stephentravis2250]

Scott, you are an amazing artist in your own rite.

[@vickicarol1733]

I live in Ocala Florida and go the Appleton Museum every week to draw. I marvel at the works of art and the quality of paintings the Appletons collected over their lifetime. Yes, we are a smaller town but we are packed with art studios, art centers and our College is fully acredited .Among the museum's collection are Jerone paintings, and sculpures and a wonderful Elizabeth Gardner painting as well. I hope you bought the book from the gift shop showing the extensive Appleton collection . I had the hardest time getting the correct perspective on "The Shepherdess's "arm. After three tries I finally figurered it out. If you ever return , I would be happy to show you the around and intoduce you to some of our well known artist. Great art comes in small packages.

[@rebeccadean7940]

Signed up for your Edinburgh workshop, cant wait v excited

[@arifjohn3816]

Wow, that is an awesome painting! I call it the best painting that has no brush strokes showing and is smooth like real picture. And that is what your paintings are.

[@williambo5989]

subtlety of accents contrasted with large planes is bouguereau’s goal in every painting

[@RosieChapman-e4t]

Like you Scott a Fantastic Artist.

[@janet4900]

Thank you for posting Buguereau. I am obsessed with the colors more than the shapes. I see a lovely blueish color that somehow doesn't look blue. It goes from a bright peachy color in full light to that bluish color, and then the shadows are so warm and the blue is lost. It's like, when the skin is not in full light, it has a neutral or bluish green cast, but as soon as it's in shadow, it becomes impossibly warm. I think that part of the subtly comes from creating "shadow" without darker values, but instead making it more blue. And it looks so pretty.

[@jimtdonovan]

This presentation is so fascinating, offering considerations and observations that so inspire one to strive further! And, I love your humor😄

[@iainwill3493]

I just rewatched your video on my TV, rather than on my phone. A much better experience and I saw the real magic of his work. You and your talent will be most welcome to our UK. I hope you have a fantastic time 👍😊

[@jetsonjoe]

well this was pretty amazing insight...thanks

[@jacksonchowell]

more like this!

[@vfxforge]

Master of observation made real with thousands of hours of practice with a dash of talent. Great paintings not only represent reality ( photos can do that ) , but is reinterpreated by the artist in a unique way.

[@jeroddunn]

I had no idea I lived so close to some Bougs. Thanks for sharing that tid bit!

[@marcjasi]

Amazing, thank you for sharing it! Haha crazy, a Bouguereau in such a small town. Was at the Met last weekend for the Manet-Degas exhibition, very cool too!

[@Thesamurai1999]

Didn’t Bouguereau paint in a more layered method than how you approach it?

[@nikkiswenson54]

Thank you very much, Scott! What a great painting to analyze! Well done!

[@giancarlozavattinart9898]

Probably the most technical painter of all the times.

[@jasperoeberiuskapteijn6894]

Edinburgh here I come Scott, looking forward!

[@sebastiaantheartartist]

Great video Scott. I think he would use large flat hog hair brushes for his starts. I have noticed that sometimes using large brushes can give you the feeling of modeling the large forms. He surely covered the whole large forms of the face in one sitting. He would use siccatives and continue the next day with smaller brushes glazing ( or apply thinner paint) over the parts. You, on the other hand, work form by form from the start. I don't know how you do it. 😂

[@josedanielmunoz9738]

Saludos desde México, disfruto mucho tu trabajo, he aprendido y me ha inspirado, gracias por tus videos.

[@davidthompson797]

Thanks Scott that was really fascinating. It would be really interesting if you could look at a Sargent in the same way and contrast the two. Sargent would attempt to express a lot of the sublety of form which Bouguereau defined so carefully with just just a stroke or two of the brush. I would love to hear what you think is gained by that approach and what is lost.

[@erinbumble6049]

Thanks Scott!

[@janlee47]

Thank you ❤

[@mattsammekull780]

Hey Scott! This was a wonderful clip, great images of that beautiful painting and very interesting to hear what you have to say about it. Did you ever consider doing a deep-dive into Bouguereau? I know you did a (kind of) short mastercopy, and that's a great video, - but a larger project would be immense! To hear you talk about Boug, his work, his technique as well as doing a mastercopy. I'm positive it would be welcomed by a lot of painters out there. Oh and btw, your most recent video of Paul was fantastic! All the best, Matt Sammekull

[@classicalart]

How he was able to catch light and shadow with paint, like a modern portrait camera is amazing..

[@glenfagan4424]

Ah. I missed this trip to Scotland. Would have been a wonderful experience.

[@sandilejourdan5959]

Very helpful.

[@nwiegman]

Thank you Observe the observer observe. We learn by imitating and experimenting. We have so many tools at our disposal it is easy to get lost in the abundance and not master any of them. Not sure where all that came from-sorry. Love you analytical approach-

[@01suiteness]

Honestly you're as good a painter imo!

[@Austycossy]

🙏

[@gigig2492]

The first time I saw one of his paintings was “The Broken Pitcher” at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco and it stopped me in my tracks. I don’t think there has been a better draftsman in all of art history.

[@vfxforge]

Bouguereau uses grisaille technique correct? I often wonder how much underpainting shows through and how much direct opaque paint there is on a piece like this.

[@Austycossy]

Please come to dublin

[@memtesin5918]

I love the name " Billy Boo". So much easier 😁

[@sparklydragon4945]

So sad, I am too late to sign up at your UK workshop all sold out ..... Can I peek through the window? 😃

[@paulvallejo99]

SINGER SARGENT 🙏

[@Lara-ym2py]

Thank you for your video, I really enjoyed Bourgeau painting. Can you please show us your copy for that great work. It it will be great if you share your lesson ❤

[@tomc7376]

I'm drunk. Thanks.

[@harshadk4264]

Mr. Waddell you're the only artist who comes close to the Big Mr.B

[@Carla48435]

Hola Scott, me encanta como pintas y me gustaria apuntarme a tu patreon, necesito saber si los videos de Patreon ofrecen subtitulos en otros idiomas (español), ya que no hablo nada de ingles. Gracias

[@michaelking2991]

Curious ... is there anything in this painting you questioned why it was done?

[@jonk1978]

Attiva i sottotitoli Scott

[@christianoliveros3750]

hi👋🏻 i’m a new subscriber and an aspiring oil painter trying to get in to the industry. i wanted to create a portfolio for clients. Can you share some tips on how create one. I have lotsa idea but i can’t decide how to compile it in one that can attract clients😊

[@jonron4729]

👍👍👍

[@alanjane4605]

Hi Scott.

[@morrisjensen1959]

Scott - Dear friend, it's pronounce Eding- burrah (Say it quick with a Scots accent) Great videos.

[@kozy15x]

I'm dying over hear listening to you call him "Booger-o" over and over

[@tomc7376]

That's 'cause last video, I pointed out that "Booger-o" = take a shot in my KZbin art instruction drinking game and he was trying to get me hammered. Mission accomplished, Scott. Mission Accomplished. BTW, "Color gets all the credit, value does all the work," "Don't buy black paint, mix your own black," and "Zorn Palette" all = chug a beer.

[@GregGreen-e8l]

nice

[@ams9449]

at 16:12 she looks like a mean rapper with vicious rhymes.

[@SHANKATAL]

Beware of what you purchase from Scott, few weeks ago I purchase a few painting courses, however one of the links Scott sent me to download the video, was defective and I couldn't download the full course, I've been requesting new links, but due to the only way how I can communicate with Scott is through email or his website, and I haven't received nothing back from Scott honestly I'm very disappointed with his customer service, if Scott can't send me the link, I would like my money back.

[@christelrascon6492]

Sublime …. Sigh ~

[@ChooseTruthAlways]

I truly appreciated this intricate analysis you guided us through 🙏 I wonder if you would sometime also speak on what his pallette would be and type of brushes Sir Bouguereau used for his Marvelous work? Once again thanks very much for sharing your incredible talent! Your One of our modern day Masters! ❤🌹🙏

Great, thank you, but…. Enable subtitles please!!!!!

Bouguereau does toes better than anyone.

[@selwynr]

Bouguereau was a highly accomplished academic technician, but an undeniably minor artist. He's one of those artists that people who don't know what great painting is like - those who are wowed by realistic rendering, and his work holds very little interest for those that love great painting. In fact, it's yawn inducing.

[@tomhighsmith]

Every painter speaks his own language and I applaud them all.My preference usually goes to painters who I see have the craftsmanship to draw and paint. I would also like to hear Scott's admiration for Bourgereau and why.

[@plantagenant]

But he has his fans and anybody who likes Scott's work will be interested in it especially from a technical point of view. This isn't an Art appreciation channel. People who don't like Bouguereau don't have to watch this, do they?

[@Thesamurai1999]

Jealous

[@organicpaul]

What is the title of the painting?
