"throw in a few curls to ...HAVE FUN!" omg hahah

[@user-cq5ou8fz1g]

Finally I found a normal lesson on writing sketches . You portray a living person on the canvas , not copying nature. How beautiful it is . It is a pity that so few good videos on KZbin .

[@incognito3620]

I saw this video almost 12 years ago and I see newer things I had never seen in the first place or missed first time around. Mr. Liberace is a brilliant painter. His approach and technique and brush work excite me every time I see him paint. He has such a clear vision of the process and the medium of painting. I remain an avid fan even 14 years later. Thank you for making this video for meant to enjoy today.

[@Raeburnsart]

Oh my gosh. What an incredible portrait. The set up was actually masterful and colourful too. A very complimentary scheme! That man was a great model as well. Wonderful explanation.

[@toonybrain]

Absolutely wonderful at capturing expressions in the eyes. Exceptional work!

[@artisfu9]

Liberace is one of my FAVORITES! He is a MASTER FIGURE PAINTER and a THROWBACK to the GREAT RENAISSANCE PERIOD!!!

[@ShellBeeLynneK]

i love how effortlessly he paints!

[@awesomeblessings]

[@sergiolobato1798]

[@menagilberto]

Really happy I finally got to meet you today, it's so wild I like have a copy of this painting that I did when I was younger, taught me a lot honestly. I thank you :)

[@robliberace]

Hey Gil, Great seeing you at Cooper. Congratulations on your success there. Your family must be proud. Saw some of your work, looks intense--loved especially your Sumo wrestlers and your early Chuck Close-like portrait. Hope to see you again soon

[@angelkubin]

Fabulous Artist! Love your work...

[@skeletonstreet]

Just absolutely wonderful to watch. The meaning of life!

[@OneDawkinsFan]

"If you break things up too early, the overall form is lost" - Thanks for that hint. That is one of my faults...

[@lulilua9603]

Hello a decade later 👋🏻 I agree!! That hint is very useful for me as well

[@calum66]

@@lulilua9603 Its a discipline to keep stepping back to take in the picture as a whole - Its very easy to get sucked into detail ( especially if you're working from a photograph) so you loose sight of the wood for the trees

[@JH-ct9fj]

Wtf! Was that? No wonder I like this artist's artworks. Now seeing this snippet of him actually rocking this canvas (never seen him in action) just blows my mind away! Amazing!👊👊

[@paulashford4155]

I remember buying this DVD. He's so good!!

[@nean12350]

Very impressive demo. Liberace has the qualities of mark that I love. His "bravura" brushstrokes are reminiscent of the Munich school but his palette is lighter. I have always found doing a loose tonal underpainting to be very helpful. In the first minutes of this clip the form is established through the use of tone. Although his marks are loose he never sacrifices accuracy of the drawing. The idea of drawing with paint is very evident here. Great stuff!!

[@mugurelparaschiv8662]

excellent work!

[@KevinMcCainStudios]

Robert great work, Love you use of the mark and you color contrasts

[@grvonny]

Wow!! This is fantastic!!

[@gargikhiste]

Really wonderful, good work ...... Keep it up !!

[@blessOTMA]

super...wish it was longer! I would love to see the eyes from start to finish. Excellent...you also show that art is fun! This is the secret artists know ! lol!

[@ddbdbubbles]

You really captured him, especially the eyes.

[@joaodooneves5119]

[@sandracarroll486]

Exciting to watch!

[@prtyboi22]

Some of what he said was actually pretty obvious....yet I didn't know it! Great video, and thanks for the help!!!

[@csmart287]

[@blessings427]

I added this video to the PLAYLIST: Painting Demonstrations Art Videos.

[@esequielmatto8438]

Muy buena, me pongo a practicar

[@lilywei864]

do i need to wait till the first layer had hardened before adding a second?

[@cirnocera7651]

I hope I can painting like this ^^

[@cellarnoir]

Linseed oil is most commonly used, but any medium that says "matte" finish will not be glossy. Also, gently sanding the surface of your painting with sand paper or an auto sander will remove glossy surface. I have this same problem. Best of Luck

[@Vanta_Zen]

Wonderful!y robliberace Question: what do you use other then turpentine as a medium to thin out the paint? linseed oil? I heard Liquin was good, and minimizes glare. I have an issue with glare and have tried many things, and am having a bit of a hard time. Would really appreciate some advice. Thanks! Pablo

[@Rickriquinho]

He has style!!!

[@sundayaito2230]

Robert is my favorite master painter ever...just how do I have the privelage and opportunity to apprentice under this greater master?

[@cellarnoir]

P.S. you do not need to always add medium to your paint, as linseed oil is what is in the tube to help preserve the paint anyway. cheaper paints come much more dilluted with linseed oil. so these cheaper paints do not need any oil added to them. Pretty much any paint but "old holland" and "williamsburg" have Far too much oil in them. This is why when you open a cheap tube of paint, a pool of the linseed oil will pour out.

[@eldaaaura7726]

I like so much

[@mtgirl01]

WOW!

[@nonameatxxx]

great

[@BlueSkies490]

Wonderful texture. What type of brush are you using for the detail work?

[@OrchidScent]

wow!!

[@Yhan598]

Muy bueno

[@67HALO69AMARILLO]

los colores de la piel. me interesa esta forma de pintura

[@steveb2145]

masterful.. .would have been nice to have seen the finished piece though

[@USCBeastmode]

DAMN THIS DUDE IS A BAD ASS!! I WISH HE WAS MY INSTRUCTOR!!

[@arlhecnovelas4614]

Do you observe "fat over lean" principle here? since it is a wet on wet process?

[@markalexander9765]

what surface are you using? linen?

[@Isisalvat_nutri]

what brown did you use for the first shadows ? and what colors did you use to make flesh color ?

[@814ck5t4r]

I notice that you paint with a lot of planes. How do you identify the different tones? The violets and greens ect?

[@almelo3227]

eccezionali le tue opere! mi puoi dire che MEDIUM usi???? grazie

[@Artba_Kreasi]

i love and i like you... i am happy to see your video my friend... i find it useful to watch your work, keep it up and keep up the good work.... greetings and greetings of friendship from me in Indonesia ... may we always be healthy so that we can continue to work ... and from here I hope for your support and guidance from you for me my friend, I like you my best friend and I love you.

quite a good match to the model

[@guionbajoytodojunto]

It seems that the canvas is not prepared, do You prepare them with gesso or you buy the ones that are prepared?

[@Adventuresause]

oils are really hard to use but give a nice quality with the canvas

[@yaelmaimonartist]

WOW!!
