I love your side conversation in this lesson on 'natural born artists' ...that we don't have to look for our unique expression, it resides within each of us, and will automatically express itself with our painting whether we wish it or not. That is SO true!!

[@lindaboddy5396]

My favorite paint is DaVinci...my favorite color? Oh, I could never choose but I always use burnt umber, cad red and cobalt blue...nope, not ultramarine.

[@darlamcfarland3323]

Yes, the longer videos and master studies are great! More, please.

[@coopergurl90]

Even when I don’t have time to immediately watch, I like your videos. Very much appreciate your effort and consistency !

[@zeinebbousseboua8817]

I simply cannot believe a channel like this exists o: You are my only hope in life

Hi Yupari, Thank God so much for your existence, you are truly an inspirational artist. I have only just decided to do portraits in oil after years of drawing so finding your channel is a blessing.keep up the fantastic work.

[@bdesouza8830]

This is e 1st time i watched your video and I must say… as an amateur myself… I learned e most important thing in painting, that is to have patience and passion… it was a beautiful master painting…

[@fiterflite]

It's so relaxing and fun to watch and listen to you paint this..

[@zuzu_1]

I love your videos !!! 🙌🏾 I’ve been trying to study oil painting for awhile, and I feel like I’m ready to try and make an actual nice painting thanks to your help.

[@avibenso]

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful knowledge 🌹

[@davidbenasulin]

Thank you so much for sharing this step-by-step piece of art. Really useful!!!

[@onecoding]

Fantastic session. Much appreaciated!

[@rimah8412]

Thank you for this , it was wonderful to watch you work

[@juriaan13]

I love winsor,s mixing white it's so soft

[@DannySabraArt]

Very cool Yupari! I've been wanting to do more master studies. I did a video of one from my local museum a while ago and it was very challenging. I really admire your skill here. I'm learning a lot. Thank you!

[@judithspoor6583]

absolutely love your longer videos. I paint along with you every day and really enjoy it and I think I can see an improvement which keeps me going. I do have trouble finding your reference photos on google arts and culture. Couldn't find the one you did of Peter Paul Rubens anywhere. Keep up the great work you are an inspiration to us all

[@mahtabalizade8696]

Very beautifuul.👏👏👏👏

[@jcvideos5816]

Beautiful job😊

[@maria-doloresvazquez-abad4221]

I would appreciate a WMO in this new delivery of a master copy. I am inspired by you and learn a lot from your useful comments and the difference between the two types of oils.

[@laraadamczyk]

Fantastic. I have just found your channel. Thank you so much for your long video. I appreciate that you don't skip any part of the job, but show every moment of the undertaking - without shortcuts. It is very valuable for aspirational artist, who are self-taught. I enjoyed it a lot!

Thank you very much for this video.

GENIAL MAESTRO

[@musechocolates1232]

Woooow

[@LauraDiam]

It would be great a Vermeer study.great work

[@sharleew.7807]

Love These master studies! Thank you so much! I wanted to tell you, I bought a few of the Robert Simmons brushes and I love them! I had some but they were in bad shape. What a difference! Its like going from driving a tractor to driving a Mercedes-Benz. My question would be for Hans Holbein. Of all the aristocrats he's painted, who was his favorite? OMG! A meet and paint!!! If there's a bus going that way, I'll definitely be there!

[@barbaralester5461]

would love to see a Caravaggio in oil , just love the atmosphere he creates, love your work

[@MarceloFernandez-bb9tb]

tnks very much!

[@angela-asocreativearts1749]

I see more green throughout painting more olive tones. I am a new artist and ready to try my first portrait! 🤔 I’m trying to learn skin tones.

[@mikparker2572]

Angela Smith Hi, I myself am looking at doing my first portrait and oddly enough am currently researching skin tones.I hope your first portrait goes well.

[@ChrisPickstock]

#naturalbornartist. I really enjoy watching you draw. I’ve started using your thinned burnt umber technique, I find it very useful. In this painting I loved the way you portrayed the hair and beard. Amazing! 👍😊

[@Dr10Jeeps]

Excellent! You are very talented. Yes, please do a version of Vermeer's Lady with the Pearl Earring. Who cares if it is an exact replica......it would simply be enjoyable to watch you paint it.

[@ib8774]

I just discovered your channel and I’m in love

[@christyhoehn8244]

This is the first painting I’ve seen you paint- simply awesome! So glad I found you. I know I can learn a lot from you. I think I might ask Vincent if he was jealous of his brother or resentful because he needed his support?

[@anaesthete1493]

Great...

[@alexmiller6698]

Very good good good thanks

[@ruudvanveen428]

Thank you for this open minded and learn-some performance: "I think the masters tried to find the right COLOR and TONE of (space-) SHADE! I noticed that the Dutch painter Fabritius, pupil of Rembrandt, did discover something about that problem; we can see that in the way he showed 'a new kind of light', in correlation with and the emphasize on the choice of his subject! A prisoned bird for instance is not a coincidence. It was symbolic for the status of an (rebel) artist in that time. All shade IS color!

[@yellowhitecat7667]

Your skill is awsome 🌝✨, you draw so fast

[@christyhoehn8244]

Btw.... this painting of PPRubens is mind blowing!

[@reuvenmagnes2540]

i love your skin tones . A tutorial on skin tones would be awesome

[@gregoryswartz4466]

Please do a French portrait, a French country landscape, or an impressionist painting. I would love to watch you paint those and happily purchase any one of them..

[@rachelrettig]

#naturalbornartist I for one am loving the longer videos!

[@josephtermeer4595]

So it may be a war between Google and KZbin, even though Google has KZbin in their apps on chrome. Thanks for the painting, nice teaching!

[@teanippalainen2613]

This is my kind of fun.

[@randym1317]

I like Rublev flake white with the glass in it like Rembrandt used, you would love it I know.

[@user-nb7rj5ow2c]

❤روعة

[@danielsabara3809]

I so glad for the teaching, Thanks! .if possible travel time im ask jonnas vagner who he paint face divinely

[@cherylm1982]

Came out great! I like the longer formats. Does it effect your site negatively if people watch it over a few days?

[@gio.s.8468]

Great painting and great video, thank you! However I have to say that I'm quite sure Rubens used to dry the first stage and the abbozzo - that sort of grisaille on toned ground - before using colours, which could sometimes be a corpo, wet on wet, or using glazings..

[@christyhoehn8244]

Gio. S. - he’s not trying to “ become” Rubens- he’s trying to help us see how he painted in a “ tutorial”.

[@angela-asocreativearts1749]

#naturalbornartist 😁 I enjoyed watching you paint

[@San-gq3vl]

Penumbra is latin for halfshadow -> area between light and coreshadow :)

[@YupariArtist]

I didn’t know this. Thanks for the info!

[@beccagee5905]

My favorite color is Greenish Umber by Sennelier 203 série 1

[@abz7509]

Do you have a video on your easel/board set up ?

[@rameshadhikari8092]

I think he first put yellowish green as a base colour and then added pink rose on the cheeks

[@salem5953]

Beautiful!! Do you ever paint with other mediums such as watercolor or gouache? I think it would be super interesting seeing you try out new stuff.

[@squarz]

@Andro mache omg man take it easy

[@salem5953]

Yeahhh right, because actual artists are forbidden to try out new stuff? Who the hell are you to define what an "actual artist" is? Art doesn't always have to be pretty or picture the reality. I also think Yupari would not appreciate your toxic statement, he's all about spreading love and happiness.

[@emilleum48]

I have been following your bearded video as carefully as I can and drawing in pencil while taking notes. I am older and color-blind, yellow/green problems. I always need help in my portrait work. How do you bid on that painting. I also have PTSD, and combat injuries, so, I have some struggles, MSG Leum

[@josquinelburg74]

My answer to your question is that I would ask Rubens (or any of his assistants) how he creates the surface texture you see in his paintings. I don't know if you've seen his work in person, but they all have this wonderful largeness, which is due also to the paint texture. I've been using a lot of thick paint lately and it definitely helps, but there's something else to it...

[@adler5235]

If I were able to time travel it would have been to be with William Bougereou and see how he achieves such great luminosity on the human skin.

[@JM-uy6mj]

Hello, Yupari. Can you write down from left to right the color you are using?

[@nelsonattwood795]

Hi, love what you're doing, but from my view (at 14:43) into the painting you show his right eye as almost horizontally the same as his left eye, yet in PPR painting the left eye appears slightly higher than the right... it might just be me. Either way, i appreciatte the non-speed-painting approach. cheers

[@emilleum48]

Please give instructions on how and where to make a bid for this painting?, MSG Leum

[@christyhoehn8244]

If the artist’s personality always comes through the painting- what does that say about Modigliani? He’s always been a favorite of mine.

[@suewilliams5039]

Venmeer did you really use a camera obscura?

[@IntegrationalEdu]

I would ask Sargent to explain his theory of working with whites.

[@maria-doloresvazquez-abad4221]

i would ask Sorolla and Zorn how they determined their painting was finished?

[@jimewing8542]

mineral spirit does evaporate

[@emilleum48]

What is this painting being sold for?, I need more information, MSG Leum

[@mdozaphotography]

1:22:55 to ALL my photographers please take a moment and listen to what is being said, even though he's talking about Peter Paul Rubens if YOU...... put yourself as if he was talking about you.... then you yourself already know what you want your photos to look like with or without strobe light/light disk, etc.... you will be more confident about your own capabilities in yourself. thank you @Yupari

[@stephengreico2810]

Would love to see a figure painting of the female figure Perhaps a Degas or a Zorn figure painting would be amazing to see!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@jimewing8542]

#natural born artist

[@timico6]

I have a mini-tiny question about this particular painting, because I saw it on your etsy shop. It is legal to sell master study? I just want to know, that 's why I'm asking, nothing offensive or mean in any form...

[@emilleum48]

How would I buy it?

[@chubbymonkeyd6141]

Water mixable pls!

[@Beyondzz]

if you're layering, how long would you recommend waiting in between each layer? I don't have the patience to wait for days normally because I read somewhere that oil paints take days if not months. I'm new to oil painting, so I'm wondering if its possible to maybe work on the next layer within hours instead of days?

[@beccagee5905]

You can paint wet on wet, but you have to learn techniques (ways of holding your brush, types of brushes, and the amount of paint to use). I've learned starting out lean, using turpintine to thin the paint to sketch, and blocking in colors to cover the entire canvas can be painted over within minutes. Layering thin applications of full paint can have a second refined layer added by the following day, so apply a thin (not thinned by turpintine, but instead meaning the smallest amount of paint to get the look you want) This builds layers of oil paints that are somewhat translucent, and richer in color than any other paint medium. Any colors mixed with a lot of white would be the next to last colors to use. Save the highlights (almost all white and totally white) until the very end, as titanium white is opaque and covers colors, where as covering the white is very difficult. So the white is easier to put down over a color when you are sliding wet white over a wet color. I hope this helps.

[@Beyondzz]

what part is the most difficult

[@opticalmixing23]

R the tints different. Do you use lead white

[@YupariArtist]

Hi! I did use lead white in the past and I would continue to use it now I just haven’t had the time to purchase it 😅It works really well to build up texture in a painting!

How much is the regular price

Did you say "nickel yellow?" Brand? Not listed below. :) What do you like about it?😁

[@KatherineLWince]

I would ask Yupari Artist, why the alizarins? I loved Manet's the Philosopher, and his use of black paint. I would ask him what sign he is.

[@maria-doloresvazquez-abad4221]

He was born 23 January 1832, which makes him an Aquarius. is this what you meant?

id prolly ask van gogh what color is his toothbrush and have a long talk so after that when i come back in the present time he would wonder what happened to me and hed paint a toothbrush concept but hes gonna wonder if he was just tripping or dreaming

[@eyeshowyou]

First i want to compliment you. I mostly love your paintings and i keep watching your chanel. Unfortunately the skull is not correct. John Singer Sargent said: make sure the skull has the right form...the rest will come together naturally. And aldo this painting looks great...the skull and angles are not correct. And i know you can do it...thatswhy i tell you. All the best with painting

[@raulruiz271]

Yupari you have talent, but Rubéns nevéis paint like that. Hi used another method, médiums, process

[@jimewing8542]

what about the Mona LIsa. I heard recently that it took him 30 years to paint so maybe you don't have the time

You are goo.....very good.....ONLY the we don't own today the GENUINE ART MATERIALS that Rubens or other baroque painters used ( not even truely Renesance or late Middle Ages 's GENUINE art products).☝️☝️☝️ And DON'T TELL ME he used only pigment , crude oil, boiled oil and esence........'couse IT'S NOT TRUE ☝️

[@romulusbuta9318]

corection : FUSED

[@ARTDREEM]

You yourself are no doubt a master painter of the era, but sorry to say that Rubin's technique was quite different than yours... You are painting in only two layers but Rubin painted with many layers light to dark with thin glazes.

A shame when you talked so much at the beginning that most lines were out of angel and they stayed that way at the end. Skilled in mixing colors does not make you a painter
