About me (bio) :
I am an artist living and working in France. I learned the techniques of the Atelier of the Nineteenth century and now I try to share some of my knowledge with the rest of the world, because I think that beauty still has an important role to play in artistic creation. I do mostly drawing and oil painting, and my goal is always to provide techniques and explanations that can be useful to anyone, from beginners to more advanced artists.

He took "happy accidents" too seriously
@DJHart underrated comment right here
Me: starts with a mess and ends still in mess
moony 123 nahhh Abstract art 😉
Just like me!😂😂😂😂😂
Or "Nomatter how I start, it ends with the mess" :-)
mood
Same
If this video would have continued till 5 more minutes, she would definitely come out of portrait.
Yes!
Cool approach. But I suspect it is good only for life drawing. Because when drawing the values from imagination, you inevitably struggle with the construction of proportions, perspective and facial expression.
Taaaaaake oooooon meeeeee
Your sense of humor is too good 💚🤷...
me crying: it's okay i can fix this
😂🙃
Lol
Yeet
Holes? the movie
There‘s always room for corrections, and it shouldn‘t feel like a failure, it’s just part of the process. - That is some deep stuff, I nearly cried reading it!

Somewhere around the world there’s a person that looks like that
Before he put the white and it was the color of the paper with just the brown I was kinda of seeing Rihanna
Tyler Hutchison oh yeah true I see that too
yep its American singer ariana grande.
I see Emma Watson.
I hope she sees this video.
yesss i LOVE slowly pulling the picture out instead of tracing and filling in. feels like it's already there in the paper and you're just forming it
Only I felt like he was teaching about life?
I feel it too, wtf
I felt Like this too
Totes agreed
**Don’t be afraid to start with a mess**
My parents with my unplanned ass: yeah... let’s try that...
Well they started a mess and created a mistake :)
Take abortion and stuff it in a 55 gal drum, set it on fire, then bury it in the woods.
He didn't juat make an artwork
He made others Have a POSITIVE OUTLOOK towards life❤
1 thing before making mess.
You have to be an artist to clear that mess 😁😁😁
His "mess" is already a masterpiece.
But my "masterpiece" is only a mess.
I'm sure that's not true
Don't be discouraged. Try again. You'll only lose if you give up doing what you love
You are a poet, not an artist.
@@nagisadies7967 poets aren't artist's
(Noted)
@@fatimahrehan4468 Thank you! That was really encouraging! ☺️
There were a lot of times in this video where I would’ve left the portrait as it was and been satisfied with it. But man this is talent.
*“Happy Mistakes.”*
- Bob Ross
Human Potato it’s actually happy accidents
Happy Accidents*
This one lesson has helped me understand quite clearly some of my hesitations and fears. Very excited to try! 💗
Awesome, glad it helped :)
Not gonna work bro
You try doing it and see if it works
Trust me
Works for me but I had to use a proportional divider to train myself to accurately perceive the initial block ins
@@FlorentFargesarts can you please tell with which material you did which parts of this potrait
@FlorentFargesarts I noticed that your name and logo are obscured at the 0:21 mark because it is black over a black background.
But I like the idea that if you start with a mess, then the art piece can only get better, taking the pressure off thinking you'll be making it worse.
Its like sculpting, the drawing is finished from the first moment, you only need to remove the excess of material.
She came out of the darkness!😍
Mine would be a mess!
A masterpiece. Ill get there one day too.
I did a similar picture by rolling black ink out on to glass. Took away the highlights and then printed it on to paper. The last layer was pastels. Lots of fun
Sounds wonderful!
How on earth 🌎 can a person have such mind-blowing art? Beautiful imagination 🤩
“We don’t have mistakes! just happy accidents.”
-Bob Ross
It takes a lot of time and dedication ...respect
I love how you reduced the charcoal powder down from a full page of black down to the burnt umber shade of the paper by using an eraser! It’s a very creative method that probably took many years to master
You gave life to her and that life shone through her eyes. Absolutely beautiful art.
Me to me: Nice! Same goes with life. I might be in a mess so i got discouraged but i can start wherever i am to make things better.
I feel like I could reach in and touch the face like a real person. So moving. Thank you
I'm doing drawings for a submission at the moment... This is exactly what I needed. I've been so obsessed with doing the final drawing first lately that every drawing I do looks shit in the end.
Does anyone else feel a kind of bittersweet melancholic peace when they watch Florent's videos? I think it's mostly the music choice in the background, but it's such a calm atmosphere yet as if contemplating life...like a shared space where creative people come to learn and appreciate someone else's art. It's a beautiful thing...
If that art was a real woman she would destroy every beauty contest in the planet
it looks very similar to ariana grande sooo
The girl he draw is so beautiful.
TBH THIS IS ONE OF BEST ART VIDEOS I HAVE SEEN. AMAZING INTRO TITLECARD + MATERIAL LIST INCLUDED! + FLORENT HIMSELF.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your message !
I love the combination of medium and working from a dark spot. I'm so use to starting from the light and create one large coloring book that I end up painting. This is very diffrent.
I can't find another word but... WOW! Master, this NOT a virtual studio. Yours is a studio of magic and wonders. And you are the great "wizard". The great artist! The portrait is so sublime and beautiful and the music selection is just perfect! Thank you. Thank you.
Ok but I just want to let you know that having a mistake in your work can make it a lot more beautiful. If there's a stain on your Aquarell painting, or you spilled tea over your drawing, or the colors you used are too dark etc, you just have to integrate it into the picture. Outline the stain. Spill more tea on the painting. Create a contrast between dark and light. It always gives the picture such a unique beauty. Like if you fuck up something in your work, there's a 99% chance you can make it even better.
I'm glad you finally found her eyes and nose. Intense work.
When I was at school I had a teacher make us do this as an exercise. It can produce interesting effects and helps take you out of your comfort zone allowing for more freedom. Very valuable exercise pulling images from the darkness using removal instead. Definitely recommend trying this.
I love it very much especially the title " don't be afraid to start with mess" 👍🏼👍🏼🥺🥺
All it takes is *one great teacher* to make a world of difference.
As an artist who struggles with OCD, attention to minutiæ & line detail from the get-go has often led to paralysis from being overly-committed to unrealistic 'perfectionist' ideas.
These pressures were instilled at an early age by misguided parents & frustrated teachers who said, "If you can't do it perfectly the 1st time around it's not worth doing at all..." ~ terribly destructive advice.
Fascinated by ciarosciuro, I taught myself to draw at age 4 by studying & copying works of Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt. It upset many people around me for some reason, although I don't fully understand why- even to this day.
*Thank You, sincerely* for this brilliant approach which circumvents all the nonsense stuffed into my head.
I've started artwork all over again, fresh at the age of 65.
It's given me the enjoyment I once felt as a child.
You have a new, enthusiastic subscriber.
Bless You!🙏✨
Pitch black and then a beautiful Lady appear out of nowhere, just like she shine out darkness, mate you are talented painter COOL !
This is what I needed. I’ve hit a point in drawing where I can draw good sketches, but they end in a mess. So I guess -the trick is- start with a mess.... and end with a light sketch. Thank you!
Thank you for this video! The constant drawing and then smudging it off and then drawing again and smudging off again really makes me feel better about my drawing technique. That's that you don't have to get everything right the first time. And that a good drawing is a process. Really thank you! 🙂
Im always afraid to make a mess in my drawings but as I keep learning, I realize there's a harmony of colors in every mess.
She looks like my mum. Amazing woman, I'm so blessed to have her in my life.
You are a true Artist. Thank you!
This is what i love about art, even a mess/mistake will end up being an art no matter what.
"Don't be afraid to start with a mess"
Well, not all of us are professional artists like you.
Well, we* can strive to be one, Practice does make perfect.
@@aeloxztan2045 "practice makes perfect"... yeah right.. let me correct that phrase for you "Practice makes better, but never perfect" remember "Perfect" is a big word meaning "zero" mistakes.
I Can’t even comprehend this type of gift. Beautiful. 🌹
Don't be affraid to start with mess, maybe we still can create beautiful thing on it... Nice video, thank u...
Me: If he erases an eye one more time!
I have seen many type of arts , but your's is something unique and it looks beautiful, it is so attractive and fascinating. I wish I could make it
I swear people who can draw like this see the world differently
That wisdom/encouragement was on point! I needed this video. The inner critic needs to be silenced to find the beauty from the rough messy start. Takes out the drama and makes way for everything to flow.
Absolutely beautiful. She’s gorgeous
The height of an art...no need of colors.. ☺️☺️😍😍😍
True !Once i mistakenly dropped paints in water but then i hydrodipped my volet in it ..! And now its my favourite
Only artists have this confidence.
I can’t believe how many times I thought, ohhh that’s it. Then he would wipe it away and kept going until BAM she’s alive. Beautiful Mess ❤️
Literally one of the most satisfying charcoal portrait time lapse’s I have ever seen. Exquisite. I am falling in love with using charcoal. It is like creating the most beautiful memory. Absolutely timeless. Thank you so much for sharing your gift❤️
That's a really beautiful lady! You're very talented. 👍
Could you imagine if you saw this and it looked like you or someone you know!? I mean a person that look exactly like that picture actually exists 100%
Dark to light...my kinda artist.. so beautiful
You take your art to such a beautifully finished level with your focus-when you added the white this went from already great to stunning ❤️! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Many thanks!
Son : dad I mess up with the charcoal.
Him : thank you son. I will handle it from here.
Amazing!!...very nice to watch👌
Thank you very much !
She is so beautiful. Your art is so great.
How are his hands so clean? If I even breath next to a pen the ink covers my hands.
Rofl. Yup
This is so true. Im never satisfied with my initial rendering, but I have found (after much practice) if i persevere, and look, work, and learn I end up with what i originally intended or desired. Or even am more so amazed at, that i could do such thing. I do find that it can be painful and euphoric at different stages.
The human hand of god. Perfect render thank you, I needed that.
To have that talent is like being a superhero 😊
Wow 👍... ❤
Love the painting and more than that the thought and the commentary .. very critical to start without fear ..
Absolute brilliance and beautiful render
Real Art takes so much time and patience so beautiful. Amazing soul.
Reminds me of what my art teacher in college told me. The one class I had to take. Don't start with a solid canvas. Take take a wrag dirty with charcoal and smear it
Such a lovely drawing and technique
She’s beautiful! Wow! I envy your amazing talent.
Beautiful as always. Thank you. Love watching his videos.
OMG! so beautiful! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for making this video! I had started a painting in acrylic and got my tubes mixed up and put oil down for my subject. I was about to give up yet again. I put painting down for the last two years, I went on my phone and this is here. 2 hours later I'm finished and I felt so good. It's ugly, but it felt great. Thank you for making videos like this, I hope to be half as good as you one day.
From Florida
I'm glad I read your commentary. I felt like you were speaking directly to me.
Awesome demonstration. Also felt like I got some life advice from that sweet commentary
Wow! Just beautiful!
Absolutely stunning!
Wow! It's so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
It's called talent!
Bravo!!
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this technique.
Great work! I'm blown! Keep the good work up.
Amazing work of capturing emotion in a portrait. Beautiful.
Incredible and Beautiful work of Art!
Oh this is a wonderful find for me, I've been doing this sort of thing for years and find the process so inspiring, I didn't know it was really a thing I thought I was just weird! Thank you for the inspiration! Looking forward to more! 💛
Just Beautiful.. thank you for sharing with us, Florent ♥️🎨🧑🏻🎨
Thatsxamaxing! You teach do much about values. Lovely work!
You are great. Thinking in reverse is difficult.
*ABSOLUTELY STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS*
Breathtaking
So relaxing... In the flow just watching this...
His painting expresses his beautiful feelings...Really amazing
Nice approach and beautiful work too 😊 Thank you for sharing!
I absolutely love this. Thanks for sharing!!!
Wonderful! Candor and tenderness on her face..
Love your technique! Beautiful,
