Thank you!

Hi there! If you have any technical questions for SInisa you can reach out to him on his instagram account and he'll be more than happy to answer - @sinisamaticart Hope that helps! :)

Good question! Depending on how often you dispose of your paint covered rags/towels, if the lead is dry it shouldn't be a problem. Wet paint is what causes a bigger danger as it is more easily spread or ingested. As long as it isn't ingested, lead is not dangerous to work with. Note - if you grind the paint yourself make sure and wear a mask as the lead pigment powder can make it's way into the air (and your lungs) during this process. However, handled responsibly, lead is a great pigment to work with :)

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the course :)

Hello, thanks for your question! The hair is mostly Ivory Black with a little bit of English Red to warm it up. There is no green or alizarin on this palette - the two reds we have are English Red and Cadmium Red. The lip separation will be a mix of most of the colours on the palette - Cadmium Red, some Ivory Black, perhaps a very small amount of Yellow Ochre and English Red. Hope that helps!

@@theclassicalartschoolonline yes I've found black on the face is big no.I am mixing it with viridian or some red.

@@patriciozazzini8302It depends, if you’ll notice we don’t have any blue on our palette. When you mix Ivory Black with White it creates a cool, almost blue colour which is used to cool down the warm colours we are mixing for the face. It is the only cool colour on our palette. But if you are using a different colour palette that includes viridian, that can work too. Painting is also about experimenting and finding what works best for you - thanks for sharing your method.

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful.

Glad you liked it!

@@theclassicalartschoolonline you need more videos with This teacher.

i think there is beauty in her sad gaze, and not wanting to capture it limits and denies the whole range of human expression, it is valid tho.

You're welcome!

Glad it was helpful, thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for the feedback! Great suggestion - I've updated the title to include oil painting now.

Thank you!

Noted! Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your feedback (Emily, admin and person behind the camera). I will pass on your kind words to Moses :) This is the very first video we shot together, and it was a big learning curve for me. I'm also an artist (not a filmmaker by trade) so there was a lot to learn. For that reason your feedback is incredibly useful - thank you so much for taking the time to comment so we can continue to improve our videos!

Thanks a lot!

Don't worry, we always have coffee in the studio! And we use a timer for model breaks, including a longer "coffee" break, plus the model can take as many extra breaks as they need :) Having modelled a lot for various art schools myself (where I have been left posing for way too long) I always make sure our models are well looked after. Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video (Emily, admin and person behind the camera)

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it :)

I love how thin you work the whole time. The wispiness (is that a word?) reminds me charcoal. Very well done

Thank you so much! I will pass on your kind words to the artist (Emily, admin)

Thank you!

Composition and setting up is one of the most important part of any painting, especially when you're learning to paint from life with a model. However, if you're working from photos or from imagination you can skip straight ahead to the painting part :) Thank you for the feedback!

Yes. Composition and setting up is important. But even beginners can figure out how to set up an easel and place the model. Though important, set up is not difficult to understand. For complete beginners it might be helpful. But most people clicked on this video for the actual painting technique shown in your thumbnail....not your set up process. I would think more people would prefer jumping right into technique. I could be wrong. It's your choice and my personal opinion. Good luck. @@theclassicalartschoolonline

@@peter-iq5en Hello, thank you again for the feedback.

You already have thousands of videos who start the painting once already is set up. As an artist, I like to see how others artists setting up their stage. We all have our owns tips. And on this one, I liked the floor palette to elevate the model.

Thanks!@@dystopiaproject I'm glad you liked the video and found something useful from the set up process :)

Thank you! We will keep making informative art videos this year and hopefully for many more to come :)

Happy New Year!! Thank you. Yes it's true, our model Arnie was having a bit of a sleepy afternoon :) It's actually cool if you're a painter who works with models, to sit for a portrait one time to experience what it's like. It can be surprisingly tiring! I've modelled quite a bit in art schools and it's interesting to be on the other side of the easel every so often. Best wishes from the UK (Emily from the Classical Art School)

Thank you!

Thank you!

Hi there! Firstly, it's perfectly acceptable to use some linseed oil in your imprimatura itself, but if you are going to work on the painting for a long time I would suggest using turpentine or another thinner instead - or use 50/50 linseed oil and turpentine to help adhere to the fat over lean rule. Secondly, if you are painting with oil paint, you will be dipping your brush in linseed oil to help the paint loosen up and glide smoothly on the canvas, so it's not necessary to put linseed oil directly on your canvas prior to painting. This will create too much movement for your brush and paint on the canvas, making it difficult to paint. You want to paint on a dry canvas to have control of the paint, adding linseed oil to the paint (on your palette) as and when needed - adding it with your brush to loosen it up in a controlled manner. I hope that helps, thanks for the question :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you!

You can of course use a light table :) however assuming you are doing the drawing from life with a model, the process would be more or less the same. This video is a part of an academic art course where we are working from life, not from photographs, but if you are working from photographs a light table would definitely work - especially just to see the photo or drawing that you are tracing more easily. If you look in the playlists of the channel you can find the whole transfer drawing course which also explains the way we draw the transfer drawing (simple shapes, lines) to quickly capture our subject - feel free to check it out if you are interested more about drawing and painting subjects from life. Hope that helps!
