Good information, most of the time we as beginners don’t know how to approach studies and if it looks ugly, we have the bad habit to make details to make it look “better” but no. The painting should look good just with graphic shapes, same with colors.
Criminally under-viewed. Aaron has a great way of explaining everything, and because of his mastery is able to demonstrate quickly the principles he talks about.
I have. If you're going to buy it, I'd say make sure you know some fundamentals to get the most out of it. But it works for anyone of any skill level. So, it's your call if you think it's worth it to add it to your library.
Thanks for the input. I know fundamentals. I've been painting for a while and I've been taking classes at an art school near me. I just feel like I can never learn enough.
Thank you so much for the explanation of warm and cool! I low key thought I must be stupid because I felt like 'warm' and 'cool' colours didn't fully make sense beyond the really obvious blue/red business. That was so so so helpful to have it explained as a relational phenomenon that also plays with value rather than some colour rule that I just couldn't see or something.
i even like his sketches, more than the finished art. they've both got their unique charm but, i wouldnt mind seeing more of these bold, simplistic brushstrokes which really bring colour to the forth.
Thank you guys for sharing this amazing and well explained lesson!!! I truly beleive it will improve my painting process!! you are so nice! Cheers from Quebec/Canada!
This dude sounds like he spend his entire life with Jeff Watts. The accent, the cadence, its so similar Edit: He actually did stufy with Jeff: "Notably, Westerberg honed his drawing skills under the tutelage of master draftsman Jeffrey Watts, resulting in his emergence as a portrait painter of considerable finesse and skill."
Hi Stan, thanks for all the great content and your labor of love. The painting world needs a demo of this kind with Steven Assael Please please please!
Excellent broken colour examples. One thing did surprise me though, that almost pinkish skull did not seem to have brush strokes that followed the forms. I think it could have been stronger had that been the case. (Just my newbie 2cts of course though). I really enjoyed this video, thanks!
following the form isn't necessary at all to build anything well. when i first started painting people made me think stroke direction was really all this and that, but I found out over time that its really about values and what shapes you arrange them into, not which direction your strokes follow.
Hi Stan & Aaron, thank you for tis excellent video! Colour is really complex and interesting and I have a queation to both of you as well as to the community: What is an ideal artifical lightsource in the atelier for painting? I was in the artstore in Zurich today and they had this 6000 K daylight bulps... really cool in an atelier... but does it make sense to use those? Thank's for your recommendations! cheers from Switzerland Dominik
+gschwind11 for lighting my painting and palette, I like 5000k because it’s very close to daylight. If you’re referring to light for the Model, there is no ideal. It depends on what colors you want.
hi Stan, thank you for taking time to send an answer on my question. I am glad to hear that you recommend 5000 K. The 6000 K which they had at the artstore was just so cool that I intuitively didn't buy it. However I also learned in the meantime the cooler the light on the canvas and palette the warmer we tend to mix our colours... so when these paintings later will come in a warmer lighting like 2700 K which is very common in a cosy living environment the danger is that the colors gonna look too warm. And I also heard from several other artists in the meantime that they prefer 5000 K. So I'll try to get one of these :-) cheers from Switzerland Dominik
ok.. I have bought a 5500 K Truelight bulb (LED) with a broadspectrum Ra94 which is recommended for paintingateliers (5000 K was absolutely not foundable here in Europe however). But it is so incredibly cold beside all other lights in my house. I just wonder how you guys think of it... don't you have that feel too? Do I maybe just have to get used to it... Well yesterday I was in an artmuseum and realized that they are using these cold daylight tubes as well. But whenever people have paintings in their house on the wall the mostly use warmlight to lighten them up... so the colours get kind of overwarm in feel when the painter originaly used daylight. yeah... it's a complex thing that atelierlight question... comments and experiences of anyone here are welcome. You Stan you are using 5000K too... do you know what Aaron is using?
One thing I don't agree with here is that there IS neutral gray. Gray that doesn't tend towards anything else. A neutral gray does look cool or warm depending on what surrounds it, but in isolation you can mix a neutral gray.

Nice job! I hope you all the success with this one, I'm sure it will inspire. Say hi to Aaron.

I spy a Veselka painting in your avatar pic :}

Have you bought/watched the demo? I keep putting it in my cart but haven't purchased it yet.

This is one of the most amazing discussions I've ever seen on the process of nailing down your ideas on how to build a painting.
Absolutely AWESOME! This and the one with Steve Huston just earned you my subscription!
Just bought this lesson and can´t wait to get started! Thank you Proko for offering such quality art lessons from other artists as well.
+Ady Almanza Great! Hope you enjoy it :)
Highly recommended !! love it! this is helping me a lot to improve my painting knowledge thank you .
What's your favourite flesh tone?

Hi Proko! Been watching you since you began and I've been an avid follower ever since.
Aaron is a big inspiration.
Can't wait to see more in your series! Priceless opportunities. Thank you so much and thank you Aaron!
Excellent stuff! Especially the talk about color temperatures!
Wow, this video is gold. Adding it to my favorites so I can always refer back to it.
such a great deep into talk about the color universe. I just love it so much. Thank you!
I realized that I had watched this one before only when I started watching, but couldn't seem to not watch it yet again...interesting stuff.
Proko watching ur tutorial I improve so much.
me too. greeting from china
Thank you for this! He's such a wonderful artist 🎨
Thank you guys for sharing this amazing and well explained lesson!!! I truly beleive it will improve my painting process!! you are so nice! Cheers from Quebec/Canada!
amazing interview Proko. I have been studying Aaron for some time. This is just good luck on my part that you interviewed him.
Question: what about cooling the colour with translucent paint. Like terre verte for example. Would you also match the values first?
This dude sounds like he spend his entire life with Jeff Watts. The accent, the cadence, its so similar
Edit: He actually did stufy with Jeff:
"Notably, Westerberg honed his drawing skills under the tutelage of master draftsman Jeffrey Watts, resulting in his emergence as a portrait painter of considerable finesse and skill."
Glad to see I'm not the only one who uses a box of shells for a bookend.... Great work Aaron Westerberg. Have you studied Fechen and Repin much?
The first time I saw this I was like "58 minutes? what...." then here I am watching for the second time in a row
Good information!!!
Really useful as always. I have really been enjoying the interview videos
Awesome video thanks guys. My favorite part was the 52:33 mark
Hi Stan, thanks for all the great content and your labor of love.

Please please please!
beautiful 😮😮
Does all this analyses make you have more enjoyment when viewing the picture?
Prokooooo!

This was super helpful! Thank you for this great resource!
this is best . it would be cool if you can do videos like this of other artists like Jeremy lipking , Scott Burdick.
I just saw a program about bows. English long bow is held in the middle. An Asian long bow, one third up from the bottom
Like always excellent video, Thanks to both of you!
Amazing video !
So should i shift my base colour "skin tone" depending on my light source? I always am afraid to do so, because i fear muddy colour etc
so cute，that dog

Is the free version coming out or not?
+Renu Sharma we will release a free short clip from the demo in February when the demo is released.
Hi Stan & Aaron,
thank you for tis excellent video!

What is an ideal artifical lightsource in the atelier for painting?

You Stan you are using 5000K too... do you know what Aaron is using?
51:40-52:06 reminds me of jazz
good stuff
Aaron's voice is so close to the Jeff`s one. watts atelier tribute lol

Is he using oil or acrylic
Seve Diago oil

Woe
