I ‘m 88 and still learning.Young man you are my new favorite artist and I appreciate your videos so much. Thank you,maybe by the time I ‘m 100 I’ll be as half as good as you
Oil Painting Secrets From A Master by Linda Cateura -artist & teacher: David A. Leffel shares his secrets for making professional-quality paintings I found this tonight at the local new/used book store. I couldnt believe it!!! An awesome book to collect & use as a reference....Most of the book, published in 1984, is based on concepts (seeing, values, approach, etc) Not just a 1-2-3 step guide. Thank you so much for the uploads to youtube & now the knowledge & experience I will find in print. You r a modern master, a great artist, I sincerely enjoy your paintings.
I have watched this little clips more times than I can remember. As I am learning to paint and at each corner I discover something new that I apply to my sketches and like painting. I have Master Leffel book and advise anyone, artist or not, to get it and enjoy all the amazing texts and of course artworks. Master David is on up there one of very few my favorite living artists. He is up there with the old masters. His legacy is secured already. I only wished that he paints couple big story telling paintings or allegorical pieces soon.
I thought he was doing a self-portrait. Haha. What an awesome influence he has been on my painting. Long live Leffel! I would buy a Leffel but I probably won't live any longer than him.
Watching how he steadies his painting hand with his left. I have problems with essential tremors that I usually rely on a mahlstick to overcome when they present my own steadieness issues. Found this very helpful . . . not to mention simply watching him paint. Wonderful.
Anthony C Also, I own a book written by a student who shares her notes from his teachings. Oil Painting Secrets From A Master, author: Cateura This contains full page photos of David Leffels work with direct quotes from him on everything from color theory & composition to light & shadow, etc. A great deal of his philosophy of painting too. Either book should b a great buy for anyone who enjoys abstract realism.
U can use a Burnt Umber for a wash with a warm tone. As u thin this color down to a wash & the transparency works with the white of the canvas, u will see the color as very warm. Burnt Sienna is much more extreme as a wash, but also a candidate if u feel the Burnt Umber is not warm enough. Best of luck!
Technique is limited, ideas, limitless. My admiration to this Master grows by the day. One of very few masters of our times🎨 compared to the crap called art for the last, what? 70 years

I really love the way you paint and hold the brush. prof.Leffel. You are such an outstanding inspiration *_*
Fantastic demo , great job sir
why haven't I heard of him before, amazing
My question is this: how does Leffel prepare his ground? Is that a wash of some oil color? I like the warm tone.
Yes....according to a book he was involved with.
@@friedricengravy6646 which book was that?

Very nice 👍

Thank Teacher,
is he using filberts? why do they seem pointy
check rosemary brushes..long filbert
His name is Bill Cowdy, not Cody.
The model looks quite a bit like David Crosby.
Many of his still life paintings are among the best I've ever seen; his painting of people, however...not the best.
It ,s orignal art please give lesson in hindi
or hinde
hahahahhahahhahahahahhhahhahahahahha
Is the mouth done? It’s good, but not his best. Nowhere near his best, but it may not be finished
Excellent work, highly inspiring
