I can only agree with everyone else here that this tutorial was significantly better than most. You managed to guide new students through the terms and methods that often puzzle the beginner. Simple, clear and informative. Thank you for sharing.
beckyholt Thank you so much ! I really appreciate... have fun painting !
I don't understand why people need to take time and effort to dislike, is it so hard to be grateful? Be grateful people share their knowledge for free!
Thank you Florent, you are great!🙏🏼
🧡
This video was a god send when i was starting oils 7 years ago. Thank you so much for all of your knowledge!
I'm an art student and I meet a lot of artists, non of them explained color and mediums better than this. Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge.
how the hell are you an art student without getting color theory? What kind of institution you studying at? It was the first bloody thing I did in art school, endlessly mixing colors until I could produce perfect gradients on command. I still get frustrated when thinkin about it but it's such an elementary skill that I'm happy they forced us to do it.
Mitjell K r u really that pretentious?
@@mitjellk2186 obviously it's not that elementary dickhead
The color study is better than most "finished" paintings
dude, write a book and then let me know when you sell it because im gonna buy it immediately when its out
Thus is one of the most valuable videos I've ever seen on painting for self-taught artusts, because I didn't previously understand what a study was and what they might be for and why t do more than one- as well your 'closed palette technique' is so good to know. Thank you for doing these, you are awesome!!!
Thank you so much Dannielle 😁
Sometimes I get strong desires to paint just out of nowhere, its like i have to. These moments connects me so much to the basis of human nature that time sometimes sieze to exist and 5 hours feels like 30 minutes. Does anyone else have such feelings? It may be a part of expressing something very complex in a yet simple way, however i do not share these emotions with alot of people i meet and that fact somehow scares me.
+Handful of Sand I thought I was the only one feeling this.
I feel like I am finally connected to myself and that painting is the only way for me to relax and forget about time. I always get from people who do not paint at all "when you paint you must think a lot about what's going on in your life or whatever, don't you?" Well, I don't; and it's freaking me out. Like, I do not think for 6 hours in a row. It's hard to explain, indeed, but I have no words to express this feeling and people do not usually understand how painting is important to my life. It became an addiction.
I really wanted to comment back because it's really what I feel when I have the urge to paint and when I paint. I thought I was alone. (sorry for my bad english)
And very very good video btw!!
I don’t have some hungry urge to do anything but I only loose track of time when I sculpt. It’s weird, especially if you have an endless playlist of synth wave music, 30 minutes feels like 3 hours, but fun, it’s like a drug. I’m guessing it has something to do with heart rate, cuz when I work out I get the opposite effect.
I haven't sketched in 3 years and just last week I had a strong urge and now I'm back at it 🙂
I'm super late to this comment but yes this happened to me just the other day and i simply could not stop painting. I had to force myself to stop at the 4 hour mark lol
Agree 100%
I learnt painting flesh tones from you, now sending this to my friend who asked me how to paint flesh tones 🥰😃👍
You really know your craft.
You are also an excellent teacher.
My respect to you, sir.
Professor Fargas you are absolutely excellent at explaining the 'how' of painting to students starting out and also to those students who have had teachers that don't or can't explain. Fantabulous video! Heartfelt thank you!!!
My college professor recommended this video, and I'm glad! This was very informative.
Thank you for these videos. You are explaining so much more than in a regular art class!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about how to make skin tones, I am a beginner to painting and I have had great difficulty in painting natural and realistic skin tones, now I will hopefully will be able to paint a realist portrait. JB
great video it helped me step out of my shell of being to afraid to paint skin tones i would always make it abstract and unrealistic with a great linework but i never built up the courage to try flesh tones you made it seem simple for me and i am now trying for the first time thanks florent !
Thank you very much ! I'm glad my video gave you more confidence in your painting. Let me know how it goes, good luck !
I was the same for ages. Going to now give it another bash.
😊
love it you are awesome
Amazing explanation and demonstration! Thank you!
Thanks! This was so helpful! I mix a drop or two of clove oil in my paints to keep them from drying when using a closed palette (I call it controlled palette, but same thing) over multiple sessions.
+Stephanie Davis Cool tip, it's appreciated ! Thanks
I haven't come across to anything more clear informative and useful in youtube so far, in the field of painting as an amateur
Thank you so much Florent...
et felicitations!
Check out Yupari he is also very good at explaining things. Not to take away from this chap though as he is very good.
Thank you for this video. I very much appreciate you taking the time to produce such an informative demonstration.
+Chris Watkins Thank you Chris !
You have a beautiful way of describing the technical aspects of art beautifully ! You keep it simple but accurate, Thank You
Very good video. Well explained and produced. Thanks
i've seen a lot of video art which show how to mix and paint but i didn't understood them ..
your video was soo good and easy to understand that i already know HOW should i work now THANK YOU SO MUCH
So much inspiration! Thanks so much! I’m working on my second portrait and after watching your video I picked up great information to keep me going. I just finished my first color pass. Waiting for it to dry to continue. Great video. Many blessings.
I have just discovered your channel this was the first one I watched. I can't wait to get up in the morning and watch another one. I am working in oils and doing skin tones at the moment so the timing is perfect. Thank you for sharing.
Un grand merci Florent. I've been painting for awhile, self-taught. Before I was just winging it. Thanks to you I now know much more what I've been trying to do and am putting it into practice :)
Thank you so much for this brilliant advice on all of your lessons, I have now moved on to oils from pastels, pencils and acrylics!
I am happy my videos were helpful to you. Thanks for watching.
This is my first video and I'm already hooked. I can't wait attempt using these methods this summer!!
watching you mix paint is so entrancing *-* wonderful video!
I Have Seen hundred or videos on TH-cam about the painting .. but I never found a videos like yours .. your videos having amazing way or presentation .. thanks you ..
Wow! I was never taught about colours and how to have close colour palette for skin tone and perhaps anything? Brilliant teaching, Florentine and thank you so much!
By far the most helpful video, or lesson I have had on fleshtones. thank you!
Fantastic artist. Among the best as an instructor.
wow! I love the pleasant way your speech conveys clear understanding of your creative process!
You are very streamlined and logical in ur approach. Really educational. Thnx☺️
you're an amazing teacher. I'm learning a lot from you. Thank you so much!
Excellent demonstration and very helpful!
You have made "how to mix color based on value and comparison" more clear than anyone ever has. it finally makes sense. Thank you so much!!
+Michelle Robertson Thank you very much Michelle ! I am glad it was helpful.
I'm going to need to watch this many times in order to "get it" and then give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise, passion and time.
Barbara Alexander You're welcome Barbara, I think you can give it try and you will get it naturally.
This is probably one of the most informative and useful videos I've ever seen. Thank you.
This video was incredibly helpful with color theory. Another great video as always, thank you Florent.
Your videos are so detailed but so simple!!! best teacher ever! How have i not come across your videos before?
Thank you, for showing how to mix the colors regarding the lights and shadows. I was always told not to add black. You showed how to do that and to start with the dark's first.
I definitely learned a lot.
Black is subject to debate. The only thing to know about it, is that it is actually a blueish color. A very very dark blue so to say. So if you add black, you make the mix darker but also more blue. If you know that, it can easily be balanced by adding more orange (like burnt sienna). But I prefer adding burnt umber to my skin tone mixes instead of black , so that I don't have to compensate this effect all the time.
Thank you for the information. It is greatly appreciated.
Very good video! Your voice is very calming to listen to, and your teaching methods and planning for your videos are so well thought out. Thanks for teaching us :)
Great tutorial! Very well thought out and helpful. Thank you!
Thank You for taking the time and sharing

i feel like we are investigating on such a serious note here. I love all of your knowledge and approach.
Thanks a lot. Very helpful and informative
You have a lovely calm and soothing way of explaining different points. I really enjoy your videos and they have helped me a lot. Thank you.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching !
Your videos are extremely helpful. Thank you!
Beautifully explained.
This is the video I've been looking for for years. Very clearly explained. Easy to follow, without being overly simplistic or condescending. And the presenter doesn't feel the need to be all perky and annoying like 90% of these other art videos. Just straightforward, to the point. You know this guy loves painting because the video is all about painting rather than the painter.
+Michael Davis Thank you very much ! Support is appreciated !
You are a fantastic instructor.
Thank you so much for this video! It has helped me a lot!
I enjoyed watching this very much. It was also very helpful.

Florent, you are wonderful. I love the way you explain things and don't rush through the process. Showing how you mix the colors and the explanations make me understand why things are done. Keep the videos coming. I have subscribed to your channel and anxiously await more tutorials. Great work !

VERY NICE DEMONSTRATION.. THANQ FO SHARING
i hope i can get it this time, thanks for ur explanation, im having a hard time doing the skin tone.....nice video :)
Great Job love the outcome!
Honestly so helpful, thanks!
This was very informative. I use acrylics and mix more intuitively and until now I never really knew why the colour combination I use works. Now I know why my colour palette works, well most of the time anyway lol perhaps knowing this I'll help me to be more consistent with my mixes, as I do tend to wing it and experiment 😊🎨🖌
thank you this was very helpful and loved the way you explained everything.
+Maxine Kristi Morris Thank you very much !
