Zimou Tan | Art | "The poet", Alla prima portrait painting demo.

[@konnuli]

It's a bit hard to witness such a talent..makes hard mind to comprehend all what the eyes see while mind is blown away. . There's huge talents all over the world but when things go even further, it feels unnatural, like magic. This is one of them. What a blessing you have being born with.

[@StuartDavies]

Fantastic!

[@TheMg49]

Fantastic to watch a wonderful painter in the process of producing an excellent painting! The music was good too, and didn't distract from the mesmerizing movement of the brush.

[@ZimouTan]

Wonderful to know you enjoy the video and audio at the same time.

[@miloman51]

Mr Imshijngo you are an inspiration to so many people, to see you work in itself is enough, thank you from all of us.

[@ZimouTan]

All of the above. Endless fundamental drawings and paintings.

[@chopo4ka]

Bravo! Exellent! Pure painting!

[@euyinazulada]

[@alluringpond]

[@JohnStewartJohnNormanStewart]

Watched this the other day and had to come back and see it again! Very nice.....

[@nekojita5150]

wow. timeless and full of life. i love the warm tones

[@ZimouTan]

I started drawing when I was 8, been painting since 1998.

[@shiqinxu8295]

You did a great job.You did a great job of painitng exactly what you see..you have wonderful skill in portrait sketching and character..

[@danieljval]

I can watch this all day. Great stuff. In fact, I'm gonna watch it again. Thanks for sharing!

[@maqsizu]

JUST AMAZINGLY BEAUTYFUL ! Thanks Zelia

[@conniecash5681]

I am amazed at how each time you use a different approach and palette.....and each time do an amazing job ! Thank you for allowing us to watch !

[@ZimouTan]

Connie Cash It is fun for me to use different approach and palette, since no one's skin tones are the same, why use the same color to paint?

[@ChibiMisaki]

im waiting for his eyes to open or look up. just plain freakin awesome! you inspire us young artist! thank you so much.

[@maestroabayan6779]

NICE APPROACH AND GREAT VALUES... SALUTE TO A FELLOW MASTER!

[@KHandler7]

This is heartbreakingly beautiful. What a privilege to watch it unfold in this way.

[@ZimouTan]

Gregory is a great subject to paint.

[@pallavisingh5997]

Just wonderful , couldn't believe my eyes.

[@paintpad6057]

Thanks Zimou! Great portrait demo!

[@ZimouTan]

+Paintpad Thank you.

[@AnnekeCarter]

Brilliant! My problem always has been to paint very slowly - inspiring indeed!

[@spiegelbild90]

It's incredible what you can accomplish with paint and a brush!!

[@MrMjp58]

Sensational. A beautiful display of talent.

[@MrObscurantist]

I have never imagined that painting is so much like magic

[@alexisporro3848]

Outstanding portrait Maestro, thanks for this time lapse.

[@Cardywhite111]

absolutely beautiful...it was like watching a dreamer emerge.....and the music is exquisite.....I loved it all and will watch it again and again....x

[@cl0aked]

Beautiful, beautiful work. I just wish I can someday paint like this. Cheers from Brazil.

[@23again]

I really find very useful to see how to start from scratch, drawing with your brush and seeing the features of The Poet stroke after stroke are instants of wonder. Plus, you paint with both of your hands! I had to rewind two times, because I thought I was right but the speed made me doubt, then, I saw your left thumb holding the brush, and immediately two brushes. You are magnificent. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@ZimouTan]

23again It was fun to paint with two hands, sometime. :)

[@nithunithil]

Simply amazing !!!!

[@sombuzz]

super style master....and very balanced colors

[@jusy1]

beautiful, and so fascinating to watch. Thank you for showing!

[@MrWillStewart]

Absolutely fantastic. Normally I skip through these sped up painting videos to just get an idea but for this one I stayed with it from beginning to end. I will be listening to Chopin next time I'm painting. Please upload again soon!

[@applestrudels]

The video is great as ever dough! Thank you for sharing and best wishes!

[@ZimouTan]

applestrudels Thank you for your support.

[@bschwebs]

Masterful. Your videos are inspiring. Thank you for sharing them.

[@ZimouTan]

Thank you for your kind words. I am still looking for ways to create it better, like all other artist. :)

[@Rodrhiguez]

absulutamente marvilloso, Zimou. I´ve learnt watching your videos. Thank you very much!

[@MimiCortazar]

great work, love the color.

[@FranzoiDrawings]

Great artwork!!! Very, very good!

[@TheAngrypainter]

I paint double handed, it's very useful and fun to do it!. Love to see someone else doing that too. Enjoyed watching you painting. Keep it up!

[@fubarizationnation]

Fantastic work.

[@nwhittingham]

I'm just starting a painting and there's 'old' youtube for inspiration ! You made it look so easy. There's some knowledge at work there though, lovely job. Thanks for putting this up.

[@retrometal]

Seriously? This guy is doing just fine on how he approaches his portraits. Really, he has done a superb portrait in 130 min. The application, colours and values are spot on. He is painting alla prima and laying on too much darks in the back would only serve to muddy those delicate skin tones I would assume. Great painting.

[@lilojosefina7389]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us your talent!

[@ZimouTan]

Thank you for liking my works.

[@170166]

Simply awesome!

[@ZimouTan]

Thank you.

[@khukhem1001]

It's simply perfect! Pure Art!

[@ArtofWeiHo]

I love your paintings. I've never developed my painting skills with traditional media. I feel like such a hack painting digitally. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@totosugiarto1937]

Very great technique.

[@camleee]

Amazing. Amazing.

[@AnnieLitheChickadee]

Wow this is an extraordinary painting, the painting is life like. I'm pleasantly surprised you didn't need to make a sketch before applying paint. wrinkles are so hard to execute you have to have a light hand approach. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@dougodude101]

At one stage at appeared you were painting with both hands simultaneously. Would not surprise me. Supreme work.

[@stez7199]

Amazing work. I think the painting was its strongest at around the 6:00 mark.

[@BudimirG]

Great work!

[@ZimouTan]

Solid drawing skills.

[@H0tDawgWater911]

love your art

[@KevinFlanneryForever]

i did not see this in time to watch live, but you can bet i will be checking your videos out.

[@voliver6036]

Quel émotion, je crois que ma route est encore longue avant d' arriver à ce niveau d' excellence. Mille bravos

[@ZimouTan]

C'est matière de la pratique. Zimou

[@MsVica17]

It's when you watch it and think: "There, it can't get any better after this stroke!" - But, no, the artist keeps adding and the painting keeps getting better...

[@thelastjess]

Amazing! You inspire me!

[@cheeho9698]

Alla prima is the most difficult style of oil painting - amazing work!! It will be even more instructional if you can include some shots of your palette when mixing colors . Thanks again for this wonderful instructional work.

[@tuffymouseart49]

Swell work...top knotch old man !!

[@w4r7]

Fantastico!

[@pak481]

[@ZimouTan]

+Arith Härger Thank you.

[@09monos]

Just blowing mind work and skills! Congrats!! (and a deeeeep bow! ;) )

[@hunterelite247]

Very inspirational and the face is very interesting. I only wish I could not only find a face like that in but also capture it like you did. You are incredibly talented.

[@ramonalindsay7301]

Love this style of portraiture, wish I could paint like this!

[@mickyleachlover]

I guess that the key to painting so well is to spend only a very limited amount of time on one small area at a time, therefore allowing the paint to dry a little? Otherwise the paint would just mix and become a a muddy mess. I must say that I really love the Zimou Tan uploads and have just completed my first reasonable portrait using the style shown here by this very talented artist. Love your work, thanks for posting...

[@ZimouTan]

You are welcome, I am very happy to hear the video have helped you for your painting. The painting was done in one sitting, the paint were wet for the whole time.

[@dariusritchi7906]

Zimou Tan what is whetted to one is dry to another, yet "wet" can mean many things to many people.Clarity is not always best.nice work.peace

[@ZimouTan]

This painting was done in the same day, the oil paint was wet throughout whole process. Hope that answered the question this painting have brought up.

[@Thirdfish]

Great work - very talented!!!

[@CanariaWoman]

This is just perfect.

[@KarlHansenandcompany]

Wonderful depth Zimou ~

[@soangoel]

love the way it was build up.... superrrr work... best wishes for the future :)

[@wildbirdink]

masterpiece, I love the build up, inspiring !

[@tuffymouseart49]

Swell work...top knotch old man !! Please allow us to view more.

[@YukisSweetNightmare]

This is wonderful! It's so beautiful how stoke by stoke you can bring something to life. Thank you for the inspiration :]

[@shanebowden8143]

Like think this is the 100th time I've watched you paint this painting over the course of 3 or more year Love it !!

[@ZimouTan]

shane bowden That's wonderful to know it is still interested you to watch it over and over again. :) Much appreciated!

[@VoidloniXaarii]

love how you treat the nose colors and the feeling of shininess

[@ZimouTan]

Void lon iXaarii Thank you, glad you enjoy it.

[@Rascaduanok]

As with your other one I watched, this is incredible, inspiring and slightly disheartening too. Nonetheless, you are a wonderful painter. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@Leitalks]

I love this demo. Two of my favourite things - the violin music and portrait painting in one! :-)

[@ZimouTan]

Thank you, I am glad you like the demo video.

[@asaroba]

I love it, very inspiring, I want to be able to paint like this!

[@ZimouTan]

asaroba You will, just keep painting, anyone can do it if they have put in the effort for their passion.

[@4988raja]

Is the artist painting his own portrait, beautiful indeed, zimao sir....

[@ZimouTan]

You are welcome, and thank you for your encouragement, there are still much more needed to improve, and always something new to learn.

[@dekunstemaker]

Really, a great portait.

[@michellequicho]

this is just sooooo amazing!

[@MrsBrendonUrie]

beautiful!

[@mikeatarms]

Thanks for sharing your work! You can tell you're a talented painter, because at every stage you could have stopped and it would have looked great. Did you ever have trouble finding where to stop? Sometimes I appreciate the looseness of an early stage of a work, and get stuck if I should continue to refine or not.

[@laurie2927]

loved it, thank you,

[@moisesleoncalcinacalcina5859]
