Painting Like the Masters! - Sargent Master Copy

Take a shot every time he refers to the paint as delicious. Kidding, love your work.

[@elizagrant5620]

i dont think theres a more universal feeling for artists than the urge to eat art supplies so (or maybe the artists i talk to are just unhinged)

[@jenn3322]

If you haven't used models, the forced quality versus the obsessed quality is a glorious experience. Love your work.

[@SayuriYaki]

Could you further explain what you mean? Forced quality / obsessed quality, is that a course, technique, what is it? Google doesn‘t seem to know so I’m curious. :D Or maybe I just misunderstood your sentence completely, sorry I‘m not a native speaker.

[@TenHundred]

Great pacing on this vid. Man I wanna try oil paint now

[@ye2low]

Please do, I'd be so interested in seeing how oil would inspire you! Also thanks for keeping me entertained, you're friggin awesome!

Also with these. You could upload a second video just music and painting , your palette and the reference photo. I know I’d watch it. And could help to get the most out of the footage. Love the videos.

[@3mmarlol]

Hey man, big fan. Watching youre videos inspire me alot. And seeing youre videos painting portraits it got me interested in doing more realistic art. But i was just wondering, can i use the same techniques you do on portraits but with arclyric paint?And if i can, what do i have to change?

[@muhammadsaad-cr3bw]

How much time did it took plzz ?? And what brushes are you using plzzz

[@annamaura89]

I wasn't entirely sure during the proces, was missing even more red in the face but the outcome is great!!

[@slewp]

I agree. Needed a lot more red in the face!

[@lordcloudwalker8559]

what printer do you use

[@EDX2308]

Your palette is interesting. I believe Rembrandt used around 4-5 colors only to do his masterpieces. You basically did the same thing as the old masters have done. Mind you the limitation could be an issue of money.... I'm not sure how cheap or expensive or how wealthy past artists were...

[@rawqween]

damn you're fast/good

[@ramkuwarmeena7673]

I painter but no colour combination experience

[@nippieart]

Procrastinating and focusing on another area that “needs less attention” is one of the most relatable things ever. Also, new sub here! I’ve been binge watching your videos while also working. Love your energy and your eagerness to constantly learn is so inspiring. ✨🌻

[@slewp]

Haha yes so much procrastination within my oil painting process. But that’s have the fun. Making and solving the puzzle of the paint and your focus!

[@hjkkknugjbhu757]

"Needs less attention" Do you mean reading the comments Before watching the video is bad thing!! 😂

[@shaylafrahm961]

The Multicam setup was great, lots more color mixing shots. I love this video!

[@Yatukih_001]

Great job and really well done! I would avoid Patreon like the plague. Better to just send people the address you want the money to go to and problem done. No need to rely on censorship machines to do things for you because the more you use them the less chance you have of using one the next time you use it. Its a law of the market.

[@MarcV_IndieGameDev]

14:40 (learning) - This was my major flaw for myself as an artist. I only ever cared for the outcome, even at this moment, the naive part of me is still saying "your painting is not as good as the one you're copying from" but you've hit the nail of the head. It's a learning process, building better foundations a deeper understanding of the fundamentals. Took me a long time to appreciate the state of mind one needs to engage in learning for the sake of learning.

[@denisceballos9745]

Agree - it’s a good way to learn, improve one’s skills, by copying the masters, as a practice. I copy my favorite artists and always make a note (give credit) to the artist at the bottom.

[@akualikewater]

For me it is whenever hands are involved, i try to do everything but the hands lol

[@slewp]

Yes hands and eyes are trouble for me usually. Fun! But trouble.

[@Medusaxo]

I’d like to know more about how you use mediums like liquin and turpentine. I was never really taught like a method or technique to use. should I mix on the pallet? Should I just add some straight away to all my paint?

[@chubbyjaydraws]

I’ve seen a lot of artists mix on the pallet as they go.

[@artmentor-chrishendrix1724]

Definitely only ever mix on the palette. A few reasons: 1. Flexibility: As your oil paint progresses you will likely change your medium mixture. Maybe you’re just doing a super lean wash and you only need turps, but then you’re going to layer a mostly fat layer on top. 2. Drying time: a lot of people use some form of dryer in their medium, to cut down on the insane drying times of oil. If you have very thin mixtures of paint and medium with a dryer in it, it’s going to dry on your palette before you have time to use it. 3. Saving paint: same as above but if you’re the person who tries to put your palette in the freezer or in a vacuum box to save your paints for the next day, they’ll definitely be unusable

[@James.w.a]

Just use as little as possible, the paint is made for use as it is

[@UnbeltedSundew]

Only use as needed, which is basically to thin out the paint for lower layers and for glazes. I'd use an odorless mineral spirit instead of turpentine, the spirits are bad enough. Liqiun will cause the paint to dry much quicker, and also has pretty noxious fumes. With the liqiun a common practice is to put a little pile of it on the pallett like you would the paints and then just mix it in the same way as you would a paint. As James A said, you can avoid all that and just use them straight out of the tube until you get a better idea of what you want to do to the paints and what qualities you want to change.

[@RamoArt]

Love to see someone who does very modern art with stencils etc but still appreciates traditional media and respects the masters and what we can learn from them.

[@zeraus2734]

don't b scared and put more red on the nose and cheek!! adds more life and contrast to the green

[@friedricengravy6646]

Sargent did not use a limited palette. Also, a very common trait of the Zorn palette is a yellow hue to the face/skin tones. I really dig ur videos & u should b proud of this master copy, it looks great! Thank u for the content & commitment to art & painting, I really enjoy ur channel. ✌🏻Stay healthy!

[@angieschaffer8233]

Nice attempt. But remember this:: the Zorn palette is way too limited for JSS style paintings. He was a bit of a madman with his palette and heavily loading his brushes with thick paint that he exhaustively mixed. He had cad yellow, cad red,, cad orange, Alizarin crimson, viridian, cobalt blue, burnt sienna, raw umber, yellow ochre, ivory black, etc on his palette at any given time. He was hyper focused on getting the shape of the sitter’s skull correct and lingering in middle tones, gradually going from to darks to lights. Details of the face were completely ignored until the end. You’ll note that In his backgrounds he tended to go lighter on the shadow side of the figures and darker on the light side to bring the face forward.

[@patriciozazzini3182]

not really he did many of his paintings according to her clients only using the zorn and no medium.

[@gclark2760]

This is a great beginner tutorial. It’s important to note that, although this has likeness to the original, the technique And overall outcome are far from the original. Sargent, like many of the great masters, would build his painting up in layers of coloured glazes. These glazes give his work the depth and form that can’t be achieved with anywhere near the same quality with this wet on wet, surface level technique. After seeing some of Sargent’s work first hand, his glaze most likely used a damar based varnish. It would have had one of the popular painting oils and turpentine. Still a great video. Just wanted give people some extras.

[@johnbrockiii]

Love the use of real time footage in your videos. Really gives off a more relaxed feel in the viewing experience.

[@felipebrasil5]

in case your mind just blew... he just uses a kind of eye fish cam so that's why spacing twists your mind in this video. (11:28)

Great video! How many hours did you need for this total?

[@artmentor-chrishendrix1724]

Oh man it’s surprising how dark and saturated the mid tones of his face are. That should be almost pure cad red light with the tiniest bit of white

What brands of paints do you use?

[@maganatalia8432]

Where do you print the old masters in such a size?

I think it could be great if you tried painting along while they film Portrait artist of the week , its every Sunday at 10-11 a.m. (London time) :) Here is the link: facebook.com/SkyTV/live_videos/ And after you can submit the work and they pick 3 winners!

[@nuestroplaneta4645]

I think the little crease in the eyebrow area needs more work because this area gives the character of the portrait. Anyway congratulations. Best regards from Mexico.

[@wakeupuk3860]

Normally would being that arrogant and so contenious of young people now would address you as Young man, but instead I feel you deserve a 'Sir', having retired at the age of 65, three years ago, grumpy, extremely critical and took up oil painting could not believe the number of 'so called Art tutors' on here who dare to call them artists. I also was a teacher trainer and can truly say you are a true artist, you can teach, have character, intellect, humour and talent and I 'hate' you LOL. Have been watching Richard Robinson (New Zealand) 'My Paintclub' (very good artist and tutor) and he very much promotes John Sargent and is why I came across your KZbin, I will certainly subscribe and I am sure I will learn a lot from you.

[@lenny108]

nice accomplishment, seems the special skill of the masters was to slightly transform a face into an aristocratic appearance, like a member of the royal family. Not that they copied a face one-to-one. Advanced light engineering.

[@niccolonardi5760]

In one video, you said that you visit Florence, Italy, Did you know that John Singer Sargent was born exactly in Florence? Moreover this particular self-portrait is located on the Corridoio Vasariano, which is a raised aisle, that connect Palazzo Pitti to Uffizi Gallery?

[@danielmcgowan4970]

Hi Slew, always enjoy your videos and admire your talent. I always use limited or Ziorn palette even for watercolour. I cannot use oil as it affects my eyes but think acrylic is almost as good. Your work is super and thank you for sharing.

Learning is super addictive if you’re having fun. I’m always having fun when painting as long as I’m able to withdraw myself from the idea of “perfection”. It’s such a mood killer. Anyways, love your videos as always.

[@eef3044]

omg, im still struggling with the "perfection" thing 😞 I know my work looks its best when im loose but damn it's kinda hard to not freak out if it dosnt look exactly how I want it. i got some more learning to do

[@KelseyRodriguez]

this comment!! couldn't agree more.

[@jm7804]

I think if you really want to be a great artist, then you have to be proficient in many styles of painting.That's exactly what Van Gogh did when he was learning how to paint.

Could you kindly let us know specifics about the brushes used. Thanks so much

[@derekstocker6661]

Ive checked it before, and Im not sure about the iris as that changes, but the pupil on the left is actually a bit lighter as more light catches the left eye (I checked it digitally while doing a digital study of this a few weeks ago)

[@pavlofikaso4100]

I actually use oils without mediums, i saw some other very good painter on youtube does that, kinda forgot who that was, maybe cesar santos im not sure tho. Before i decided to drop mediums i bought some terpentine and its stink was not possible to tolerate.

[@thevictorianworkshop8660]

From what I’ve read in books, it seems he blocked in the head with a huge brush and used a mid tone for the head and then works from that, again with the biggest brush he could get
