I think you're being too harsh on the colors of the old version. This is the first time I'm seeing it, and that was absolutely the first aspect of it that stood out to me. The new colors are great (definitely more realistic) but the older color-scheme also has some charm to it.
Yeah, I agree. He washed out the colors in the 2nd go. I wish he would have just refined the first one, but since it seemed to give him a lot of social media attention he probably wants to keep it in case someone would like to buy it.
I think its just wasn't what he was going for. The old one gives off a disoriented and queasy vibe which i like. It draws attention. But i think he was going for something more subtle, like bleak. he achieved it in the second pass.
I usually lack attention span, but dude - for the first time in (I don't know) I was stunned for 13 minutes straight. I didn't even blink or have any thoughts other than just soaking up every word. Not only that, but I've been following you for a while (maybe since that first version) - I'm speechless. I have artist's block - and your candid, true artist talk goes deep. I needed this lesson, I can't even tell you how much. Your perspective is great, I would love to sit with you at brunch in your studio. Thank you for sharing this with us.
“If you can’t paint well, paint big” Or, in Thom’s case, do both! Well done for taking that adage and giving it the middle finger. Amazing work. Massive improvement on the second go 👏👏
i agree, especially when you scared of going big. Many art teachers ive met required bigger pieces and most of my group they annoyed by this fact but once you beat this fear you can paint anything. You can see the whole picture more clearly instead of focusing on unnessesary details for too long.
Liking the longer format. Appreciate you taking the time and effort to share. Many thanks. Its a great piece of work and a good step on from the earlier iteration.
I actually own one of your prints of the original piece, and i love it. It's nice to see you revisit it and give it some new life. Keep up the great work!
I clicked on this randomly and I screamed when I recognised the painting 5 minutes in, I remember it on Instagram and it was such a nice surprise to watch its process thankyou for this!
I love love the depth of the recreation. It definitely gives so dimension and immersion! But I will say I loved the warmer background of the older painting, with the green flooring. But both are amazing and very epic. Just the newer painting gives such life and the gesture really gives her life!
having just finished one of the largest oil paintings ive ever done (a little less than half the size of this one) everything you say makes so much sense. youve put into words everything i feel about painting!!
Really great video. Was looking for something like this a month ago when I started a 36x36 painting which I ultimately gave up on. This has made me excited to work on a big painting again :)
I prepped a 60x60 and then immediately was tired from over a week of work on the prepping… so I rolled the canvas back up and it’s in a corner. It is so making me want to work on it again too! I think I was a little unprepared as I hadn’t ever completed a painting bigger than 18x24. I had also started two separate 24x36 paintings that I got confused midway through painting and quit. I have so many tips to continue now!!
J'aime beaucoup votre façon de nous expliquer le déroulement de votre travail et vos sentiments quant à la différence avec le choux des photos. Le trabeau est superbe!
Never seen your work before, but I love it! Keep doing more process videos like this; as an artist I really enjoy it. Also, it gives me insight. Great work!
Great result and advice. So many amateurs fail by painting straight onto canvas not rendered properly. I had been under the impression that the picture above her was a mirror - perhaps due to the greenishness. Tip to you : when sitting back and looking at the painting to consider, try looking at it via a mirror. You get a fresh look that is hard to get after you have been concentrating on the picture for so long close up.
@@RoxanneKelly-y7z historically artists particularly landscape artists used a Claude glass or black mirror, a small, slightly convex mirror with a dark-tinted surface or black glass. But this was to view the subject to reduce and simplify the colour and tonal range of scenes, giving them a painterly quality and add a picturesque aesthetic with a subtle gradation of tones. and observe the framed view through the tinted mirror, which acted as a pre-photographic lens.
Wow, I've just discovered your art and it's outstanding. love the colors, the expressive brushstroke, just everything. do you think you could do a video on how to take the reference pictures? I adore the feeling your paintings convey and would like to know how you can set up such seemingly fleeting scenes
Brilliant work. I totally agree with your philosophy and approach to painting, both life v photos, and starting directly on the canvas, working the whole. Great to see the stretching priming process too. 🎉
I learnt something about layering with different mediums that might be interesting. I had this issue with cracking quite a lot whilst using Oil & spray paint on top. I love the contrast but the oil layer always ended up absorving the spray paint so it would lose the brightness. So I started varnishing the oil and then applying the spray paint (also charcoal sometimes), and I love the texture depth that I get when there's a coat of varnish in the middle. Maybe this is quite common, but I never heard about this before.
Grazie infinite a te Alberto, volevo dirti che secondo me hai davvero tanto tatto nelle indicazioni che ci dai, e che sono di grande aiuto. Sono felicissima di questa iniziativa che hai solo tu in tutta la rete,, sempre generosissimo❤️
Yes I came from IG, I like the original just be cause and now I like this one just because. Both painting are good just because you did it, thank for sharing, I did like some of the advice you give I’m not a academic so I do learn a bit from here and there, see you on your next video 👍
This was hella informative and entertaining 👏. Your style in quite unique or I'm just sheltered and really need to get out of this town. But I'm happy I found this and will be following you for more. Can't wait, thank you
This is perfect timing, I've got a 6 by 3 feet painting to start that I've been avoiding and your yt videos always help motivate me to get off my ass great content as per usual 🫡
Hello, nice tutorial, I love the video! If you want any oil paint to dry faster you can dilute it more. Same goes for water-based. It seems counter-intuitive, but lacknafta or water will evaporate quicker than the oil or glue(water-based) hardens. So a thinned paint will dry much quicker, because it contains less paint and more water/solvent(oil-based). For oil paints that take forever to dry you could either thin it and/or you can place a fan to circulate the air in the room (this makes a huge difference) to have it dry quicker. I also want to share the tip to invest in a box of latex/nitrile disposable gloves to use when you're working with sticky stuff, like the oil-based puddy. Acetone will melt any paint, so that could also be something to have in mind, in case you're not feeling the disposable glove. There are other solvents that are cheaper that can achieve similar to Acetone, but Acetone is the be-all, end-all for removing paint chemically whilst still being relatively harmless to humans. Thanks for sharing what you know, I felt I should fill in with what you seem to want to know (?) Have a great day!
So glad youtube algorithm recommended your work. I'm really new to oils and your way of painting shinning a light on some things i never knew about oils. Thanks a lot
I always tone (the technical name is imprimatura) my canvas with a combination of brown and orange that I've used for years. Not only does it affect the colours that go over it, it feels like you're painting on an imaged surface like wood or stone. People would probably be surprised how much time you take to prepare the canvas. I buy pre-stretched and pre-primed canvases and then put rabbit skin glue on the back.
I still add my own grounding /medium and then sand it when thoroughly dry because the bought pre-prepped still allows the canvas texture to dominate through brushstrokes. My medium is acrylic not oil though.
I stumbled upon this video on accident, never seen your content before. But I’m in love, you’re incredibly talented and still relatable, keep it up man
Wooow you really made a better version of that painting!!! Superb 🤩🤩🤩 I love the new colors and how well you balanced the roughness of the strokes but not being very detailed. It just looks delicious 🤤 haha
This painter is going to blow up on youtube, these vides are so good to watch Also, you don't have to talk for the full 20 mins, can also put in music for us!
Thanks for this video, I saw every minute, besides being extremely well filmed and edited, I even had an English class, great comments, insane work, complete, congratulations!
I love voiced- over painting! If you are really struggeling to "fill the silence", i dont mind some basic music, at least when its not for more than, like, 5min. Your process is so entertaining and inspiring! Looking at your oil- masterpiece, i now feel motivated to continue on my A4- acryl- mermaid of my drunk roommate😁
Awesome video! Great advice on the photo reference implementation. As a photographer the one thing that I recommend artists do when taking a reference photo is to have the camera mounted on a tripod and take three identical compositions. One 'normal' exposure, one a stop a half over (for saturation), and one a stop and a half underexposed(for tone). 50mm is the best lens to use.
For the oil ground getting on your hands and being impossible to remove just try wearing cheap disposable gloves when applying it. When i took an art class at my community college we used them all the time when using charcoal to keep it off our hands and it worked amazing.
It would be interesting to see a video about how to make a big oil painting like Queen of Angels, which is 5 m by 5.65 m, or 16' by 19'. I imagine the process would involve step ladders, platforms, or scaffolding? And where do you find a ceiling big enough for that? I guess you have to partner with a cathedral or aircraft hangar?
loving your pieces of paint. The way you paint where everything meets, abstractly delicious. Great to see your process, thanks for sharing it. Ps I eat my PB from the jar, was doing so whilst watching, ha, Tania
Hi! I don't know if you've tried this or not, but I find that Stoko's product Cupran gets anything off hands very fast. It even dissolves nail polish (which is a bummer for me, but I somehow doubt you'd wear it :)
Wow, your improvement is amazing. I love the effect of the cool highlights and warm shadows; it makes the environment more unsettling. How long did this painting take you?
6:18 Here's a small list of available stuff that can be used to harmonize well with Fat Over Lean (aka "Slow Dry last, Fast Dry first"): Fastest Drying (Lean) Slowest Drying (Fat) Canvas Gesso (you use Oil Base, which is effectively Gesso, but oil base instead of Acrylic base) Acrylic paint (you didn't use this because of the prior mentioned Oil Base) Solvent + a little tube paint (You use Gamsol) Solvent + more tube paint Liquin + a little tube paint Liquin + more tube paint Straight Tube Paint Tube Paint + a little Linseed Oil Tube paint + more Linseed Oil Tube paint + a little Walnut Oil Tube paint + more Walnut Oil (optional) Varnish The above isn't set in stone (you can interchange some neighbors a little), but what's important is you put quick-drying layers down first, then slow-drying layers on last. At mostly any stage, you can use other mediums and effects to get different texture differences. You should place something like modeling pastes on first, then paint over that texture to mimic the effect you want. Thank you! I build my own stetching boards, and never once thought of using metallic reinforcement in the center. Makes way more sense.
I don't even paint in oil but I am a photographer and dabble with drawing and water colour - The colours of light and shadow... "Paint from life" So true.
Great stuff man… love watching your process. Never used a stretched canvas before… looks like a nightmare to create one yourself lol… very interesting 🤙 👍😎
Hi, this is the first video of yours I've watched, and have subscribed. I can see you are about to grow and evolve as an artist, and I'll learn a lot about painting along the way. Me being old, I learned photography on film cameras. When having a model is too costly, if you want to eliminate the issues with loss of true lighting, you'll have to control the lighting or move the model to a place with great lighting--not too hard once you know how. Time of day is a big factor in that. Also, you can take a picture of the background in or out of focus with the correct exposure for your wants. Then seat/pose the model and take their picture with the correct exposure for your wants. You can have the model in frame when taking pictures of the background, but they will blur part of it if they're out of focus. I like the painting in this video. Me being curious, it makes me ask a lot of questions. In you not saying what this painting is about it holds those questions in my mind. That curiosity and questioning is much better than being given the answers. I look forward to your expression and progress in future videos.
Didn’t know your work before, but this video made me wanna go check it all out! The process behind the painting is very informative and love the painterly approach! Can you tell what’s the main difference between acrylic gesso vs oil primer when painting with oils?

Very well done. I can feel the pain.

As a painter myself, you lose the charm of the original when you recreate it. Learned it the hard way
Yeah I think I agree. Both are absolutely beautiful, but the original has a cinematic quality to it
It probably registers better on camera than it does in real life
Yeah, I agree. He washed out the colors in the 2nd go. I wish he would have just refined the first one, but since it seemed to give him a lot of social media attention he probably wants to keep it in case someone would like to buy it.

you have improved a lot, the recent has way more of a storytelling than the first one, plus the colors harmonizes way better

Art Spectrum oil primer might be something to look at. Ready to paint on after a day and is water clean up. Yes, it’s oil ground. Cheers.
Do you mean Cranfield Alkyd Oil Primer?
This was very relaxing and informative. Thank you.
It's a work of art in itself ,the getting ready of the canvas,I have never seen this process before,so seeing everything is wonderful,thankyou 👍🏻

thanking my algorithm for pulling up this video I followed u on ig from this painting I can't wait to see the process!!!
Hi, I like how you work and talk about it. It always hits the point. 😊
Hello, nice tutorial, I love the video!
If you want any oil paint to dry faster you can dilute it more.
Same goes for water-based.
It seems counter-intuitive, but lacknafta or water will evaporate quicker than the oil or glue(water-based) hardens.
So a thinned paint will dry much quicker, because it contains less paint and more water/solvent(oil-based).
For oil paints that take forever to dry you could either thin it and/or you can place a fan to circulate the air in the room (this makes a huge difference) to have it dry quicker.
I also want to share the tip to invest in a box of latex/nitrile disposable gloves to use when you're working with sticky stuff, like the oil-based puddy.
Acetone will melt any paint, so that could also be something to have in mind, in case you're not feeling the disposable glove.
There are other solvents that are cheaper that can achieve similar to Acetone, but Acetone is the be-all, end-all for removing paint chemically whilst still being relatively harmless to humans.
Thanks for sharing what you know, I felt I should fill in with what you seem to want to know (?)

Here's a small list of available stuff that can be used to harmonize well with Fat Over Lean (aka "Slow Dry last, Fast Dry first"):
Fastest Drying (Lean)
Slowest Drying (Fat)
Canvas
Gesso (you use Oil Base, which is effectively Gesso, but oil base instead of Acrylic base)
Acrylic paint (you didn't use this because of the prior mentioned Oil Base)
Solvent + a little tube paint (You use Gamsol)
Solvent + more tube paint
Liquin + a little tube paint
Liquin + more tube paint
Straight Tube Paint
Tube Paint + a little Linseed Oil
Tube paint + more Linseed Oil
Tube paint + a little Walnut Oil
Tube paint + more Walnut Oil
(optional) Varnish
The above isn't set in stone (you can interchange some neighbors a little), but what's important is you put quick-drying layers down first, then slow-drying layers on last. At mostly any stage, you can use other mediums and effects to get different texture differences. You should place something like modeling pastes on first, then paint over that texture to mimic the effect you want.
Thank you! I build my own stetching boards, and never once thought of using metallic reinforcement in the center. Makes way more sense.
I don't even paint in oil but I am a photographer and dabble with drawing and water colour - The colours of light and shadow... "Paint from life" So true.
Great stuff man… love watching your process. Never used a stretched canvas before… looks like a nightmare to create one yourself lol… very interesting 🤙 👍😎
Incredible painting
Ty sir!
I love this painting.
Brillant! I learnt so much! Thank you!
good enough; welcome back Alpay Efe
You are truly a master of the mundane!
Playing with perspective, like using wide angle lenses, can be a way to play with apparent scale, too.
Hi, this is the first video of yours I've watched, and have subscribed. I can see you are about to grow and evolve as an artist, and I'll learn a lot about painting along the way. Me being old, I learned photography on film cameras. When having a model is too costly, if you want to eliminate the issues with loss of true lighting, you'll have to control the lighting or move the model to a place with great lighting--not too hard once you know how. Time of day is a big factor in that. Also, you can take a picture of the background in or out of focus with the correct exposure for your wants. Then seat/pose the model and take their picture with the correct exposure for your wants. You can have the model in frame when taking pictures of the background, but they will blur part of it if they're out of focus. I like the painting in this video. Me being curious, it makes me ask a lot of questions. In you not saying what this painting is about it holds those questions in my mind. That curiosity and questioning is much better than being given the answers. I look forward to your expression and progress in future videos.
arts a trip . bon voyage . BLEEDIN great
It’s so good. Like phenomenal. Side note - I thought she was doing a certain substance. Now I am even more curious knowing it’s a nose bleed.
This video is so helpful ! Thank you !
There is a lot of value in this one. Thanks
Love the process, great work
Didn’t know your work before, but this video made me wanna go check it all out! The process behind the painting is very informative and love the painterly approach! Can you tell what’s the main difference between acrylic gesso vs oil primer when painting with oils?
I love this!
And thank you for the information on tackling a really large painting.
I would looovee to take an online painting course from you. I love your dogma and method
Thanks dude that was solid advice. Keep making videos.
