Hi everyone, sorry for leaving you so long without any video, but it's hard for me to combine my painting schedule and my videos. A tutorial on glazing was supposed to come but I lost all my video footage... so it will be for later.
Please be indulgent with me, as this video didn't show a finished painting but a painting in progress. I have to say that I sort of went out of my ways to provide the footage for this video, as I normally work the painting in its entirety without leaving a blank canvas... but right here it was just easier to skip sort part to shoot the video. Hopefully you can still learn a little bit from this quick demonstration.

Thanks for watching.
Grisaille lets the artist fine tune the values and shapes and then concentrate on color later. It is a brilliant method.
Umber and chromatic gray grisaille were huge turning points for me.
Thanks I try that also.
Part 1 & 2 are simply awesome. Magnificent advice and explanation of techniques. A lot of people will benefit from these videos. Thank you for sharing.
+Kalembastudio Thank you very much Tony !
Thank you so very much for all this wonderful information! It has been decades (!)since I have drawn regularly. Now that my children are grown, it has been my desire to learn again to draw & also to paint. Your videos are clear & very informative. Thank you for a place to start from. Maybe I can go back to school to learn more after mastering these important basics. You have the heart of a teacher as well as an artist. :)
Thank you very much Marjorie, I really appreciate your support. Have fun painting !
Thank you for the encouragement. :)
I’ve been recently studying about the Renaissance art and I love it and your work reminded me of it, you’re amazing!
Love this grisalle and all of your teaching as you visually show us! Thank you!
Florent, your videos are so helpful and your advice is wonderful. I have subscribed to your channel, and enjoy everything you have posted. I must compliment not only your immense talent, but also your English is excellent, and your accent is beautiful. Thank you for generously sharing your skill and knowledge.
I am very happy to count you as a subscriber ! Thank you for your support and your nice compliments.
Wow, I wish you could be my personal teacher! But this will do. Thank you so much for the video, very informative.
Ive found that by doing the grissale... the quality of my work is far superior... It allows me the freedom to make changes as i go along more easily... plus u can't compete with the depth of the scene by skipping it. the eye doesn't lie.... So i think that to expedite time to be more productive faster to increase sales.... coupled with peoples laziness is why that most modern artists Opt out and skip it... For me its essential.
so it's basically a traditional art version of digital gray-scale! Man that's awesome I didn't know that was possible! Great videos!
thank you for taking the time and effort to explain as you go along.. you inspire me! You have great talent!
I started painting yesterday. I didn't know how to start properly. This video has helped me a lot. Thanks so much for sharing, Florent. ,V,,
+Jocelyn Sarvida Thanks ! Good luck with your first paintings then !
+Florent Farges - arts thanks ^^
Thank you very much for taking time sharing tips and knowledge. Really good explanation and helpful techniques. Makes me want to try this out. Thank you again!! :)
You're welcome, I hope it works for you !
Great video! I have been waiting for a video on this subject for a long time. Thank you.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!
+ronanthem You're welcome, my pleasure !
Thank you. I am very much an absolute beginner with oils, so this is brilliant advice. Subscribed!
+Patricia Harris Thank you Patricia ! I am glad I earned your subscription ! Best of luck with your first oil paintings !
Thank you for sharing this demo. I'm going to do my next painting starting with a grisaille.
+Darlene Young Great ! Happy to hear that ! Have fun painting...
I think with modern mediums more people start with a grisaille like drawing before moving on to color, photoshop lets people layer paint without waiting for paint to dry, I'd love to see you trying out digital mediums
Florent, your tutorials are really good man, awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing man, everything is just on point. I agree with Kalembastudio, a lot of people will grow from this videos :) God bless
+LETHAMAGA RICHARD Mabula Thanks a lot !
Great video, thank you for sharing!
Absolutely great!
Thank you for posting these lessons. I am enjoying them. Do you not find that the burnt umber will bleed through to upper layers of your painting as the patning ages, burn umber is used in the grisaille? It would be interesting to learn how much paint you used in making your grisaille marks, and how much medium...would love to see your palette and brush as you pick up your paint just prior to transferring the paint to your canvas?
Great video! however, what is the idea of painting a grisaille if you will cover it later with opaque color? In that cases it is not more efficient to start the painting with a simpler sketchy underpainting made with transparent color, e.g. burnt/raw umber and and a bit solvent? Great channel.
Love it, thank you very much
How did you draw your subject before starting to paint? She is drawn so precise ! Awesome!!! Thank you!
great video!
Hello,
I am working on a still life which would be expressed in dark background (as Caravaggio did) and I am planning to use Gesso as my first step towards sketch with 'Ivory black' and 'Mixing white.' Then values would be added with the the help of earthy colours (Burnt Umber). Eventually,It will follow with opaque colors and glazing at the end with 'French ultramarine' and 'Terre Verte.'
Do you think that I am in the right path (as I am a beginner)?
Thank you
+Kaygan Zemin It sounds like a good plan ! I think you just have to do it to see how it goes. And if you're not sure about something, a good idea is to make a color study first. Good luck !
When you are glazing, do you want for the paint to dry before adding another layer, or the glazes are wet in wet?
Mark Alexander i know i’m super late, but dry layers
Awesome! Grazie mille!!!
Florent, great tutorial! This helped me out a lot.
What type of brushes do you recommend for oil painting?
Thank you very much ! I recommend mostly hog bristle filberts for oil painting and a few round sable for finer work !
Brilliant! Thank you very much! 😊
Nice info! I paint good landscapes but I always struggle with realistic flowers as well as still art... This will help me a lot... Question: would you recommend oils or can I use acrylics to for this technique ? Since they dry faster
If you struggle, you might want to have more time to correct before it dries, therefor I think oil is better.
Thank you it is awesome
!
I am new to oil painting can you please tell should i do the grisaille part of my oil portrait with oil colors or with acrylic colors , I am drawing a realisitic potrait
thank you sooooo much for sharing.
+Mei Ye Thank you :)
J'ai préparé une grisaille récemment, et après des semaines d'attente, la peinture n'était toujours pas sèche! Est-ce que vous suggérez un médium qui permet d'accélérer le séchage? J'ai souvent entendu qu'utiliser un medium pareil peut causer deux trois problèmes :)
Can I have a tutorial of grisalla please????
Do you have this course for sale??
Great video thank you!
+Patrice Robinson (“Patdowart”) Thank you so much Patrice !
Florent Farges - arts You're welcome.
you lighten up with white ? lol
are you did that ? not leaving the highlight lightened by being under-painted trasparently ? just want to know
Hello, thanks for the amazing videos.Sorry English is not my first languaje,
Could you tell me the composition for the medium? one part oil and four parts...........?
I couldn't get it.
Ever appreciated.
+Raul Guerra 4 parts Odoress mineral spirits. I made a video on medium if you'd like. th-cam.com/video/z7DWCoS-eiE/w-d-xo.html
What is the point in having such a grim colour for the grisalle stage as one is going to paint skin colour later on?
Fabulous, do you know any exercises to do to get good monochromatic paintings?
The best thing to make good monochromatic paintings is to master drawing and values. Once you know how to draw and get accurate values, painting a grisaille only challenges you to handle the paint, but the rest is as easy as drawing. This is why I recommend this technique for beginners. For training, you can paint plaster casts, tea pots, all sorts of white objects... Or translate any colored picture into a monochromatic painting.
Florent Farges - arts Thank you very much.
Hello! I learned this technique in college I have trouble with color mixing can I do black and white underpainitng for painting portriats?
Sure you can. It's a good technique to overcome some of the difficulties of color mixing.
I do only white an mixed with raw umber. Thats als o good grisaille.
hi florent I have a question: why paint a grisaille if you will cover it with opaque paints?
+ghostvillage1 Hi ! I don't always do it but I often suggest it for beginners. It's like a building with sturdy foundations. You don't necessarily see them but it supports the whole. Plus it's easy to do, easier than a painting in full colors. Also, you don't really paint 100% opaque on top of it. So it gives a cool grey undertone that can be desired here and there, especially for skin tones.
thanks alot Florent , very kind as always.
Hi! how much medium do i need to work lights over darks as you did the lights in the grisaille?
+thewalrus906 It depends on what type of flow you want your paint to have. I generally add a few drops of medium util my paint has the consistency of a nice cream. Not too liquid and not too sticky. Also the pile of paint should hold together and not spread like a liquid, and reflect light nicely. It's a matter of feeling. I made a video on medium if you want...th-cam.com/video/z7DWCoS-eiE/w-d-xo.html
Florent Farges - arts Oh thank you very much!

+Fifi Benavente Hi ! No this is oil primed canvas !
