Hey everyone ! Thanks for watching. If you want to see part 2 with the colors, let me know in the comments section and I'll make sure to record the next phase.
Florent: You managed to capture in 17 minutes everything I have learned over the last 2 years of painting and learning about grisailles. Every detail was in there like you have been watching over my shoulder. Watching it, I would think about some obscure fact about the process (like the bluish tint of Ivory Black) only to hear it confirmed a few seconds later. I honestly hope everyone watches this video multiple times because the smallest details are covered and put into such a wonderful explanation. I can't wait for part 2 as grisailles can form the base for so many different painting methods and you cover the material so well.
I love the fine points that you discuss, the things that go through your head that us less experienced paints don't know about yet. What you are watching for, what you are avoiding. Etc. For example, the idea that you leave the eye details till the very latest you can. Eyes are driving me nuts right now, so I need to try this!! Thanks again. Yes I want to see the glazing part. Definitely.
Yes, please do a part 2 with color! Your lessons and TH-cam videos have been the main reason I was able to do my first self-portrait in oil. I usually work with graphite. But now playing with the oil paint, it’s my new favorite medium! Mostly just wanted to say thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent👌🏼
Thank you for the instructional demo Florent, I enjoyed it as I do all of your free videos and online paid-courses! Yes, please share part 2.... and 3, 4, 5, 6 and how ever many more you care to offer!
Thank you for explaining the reason for a grisaille. I get it now. Once the grisaille is done, I realized that half of the painting is completed. It just needed more colors.
I would love to see part 2. I hope you will be able to include a mention regarding whether or not an alkyd, like Liquin, can be used during the grisaille phase. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
Merci Florent Farges, j'ai pris ton guide sur la peinture et je pense que c'est peut être le meilleur achat que j'ai pu faire. Tellement de connaissances partagé, encore merci ;)
Tes tutos sont top florent, une des meilleures chaines YT dédiée a la peinture; je m'y remets salement. Par contre la petite musique de piano omniprésente dans tes vidéos ce n'est pas obligé, ca empêche d'écouter soit même de la musique et tes propos sont suffisamment intéressants pour t'en passer.
Thank you Florent for another excelent video. Always informative and beautifully filmed too. I hope one day to be able to make videos as beautiful as yours.🤓🖌
I've learned a lot I've been practicing Grasille more than one year now but you added more information because I only used burnt umber and titanium white now I will try to use your way and your colors. I would love to see the color layer also ❤❤
I have a lot of difficulty using oil for a fine drawing medium. For those who like to do a detailed drawing for the underpainting, a neutral grey watercolor pencil works very well for laying out your basic lines and even details. Since it's water-based, turpentine or mineral spirits will not disturb or dissolve line like they would in the wax binder of a regular colored pencil. If you make a mistake, you can wipe it off with a damp cloth, let the water dry and start over with no harm to the gessoed canvas. Also, if you are working from a color photo or even a model or still life, get a piece of red glass to look trough at your grisaille and subject. A small red photo filter works well. The red negates colors in your source material and you can compare your value drawing/underpainting to your subject much more easily. If, when holding the red filter to your eye, the light dark values in your grisaille match your subject, you're on the right track.
I love this, painting this way seems easier than figuring out what colors to use. I am so stuck on color that I am scared to paint, knowing that I can only learn if I do.I do more drawing than painting because of I get frustrated with not getting the colors right.
Thank you very much Florent for this tutorial video! For me, since I'm really bad at oil painting and have plans to practice it on the future, this grisaille technique looks like a very useful and essential one to begin with. I hope that you'll share and upload the second part of the process focusing on applying the full range colors. By the way, I have a question: I'm not sure if you've posted already a video discussing models and references for portraits and still paintings&drawings. If you've already posted a video on it, I would like to know, but if not, would you share some tips regarding this subject? Thank you as always for sharing your knowledge and thoughts! I'm very inspired and encouraged by you to keep up with art, as I've decided to dedicate myself to it, just as many other viewers do feel and think.
HI this was very helpful to revisit again and understand what the purpose was. So yes for part 2 and also can you tell me the name of the pallet box easel you are using. Love that the paint is next to the canvas not down below. thanks
Thanks for the great videos! If is very convenient, but this technique produces a dead-looking portraits, or it needs to apply a lot of color layers. These black shadows and grey face will absorb a lot of light and the painting will be dark and dull overall. I decided to not using such method.
Great video as always! Your using odourless mineral spirits to thin the paint, but I've also heard that you can use linseed oil, is that right? Is there a difference in the result?
Soo, it is possible to create the grissaile without solvent? At least if you use a fat medium in the glazes and a thin later of paint in the grissaile? I would be happy to hear so, sometimes my grisailles (with mostly OMS and a little medium) get a bit transparant. I would love to see the effect of glaces on a opague grissaille 😊
Thank you for the informative video! You use glass for the palette? Where can it be purchased? Or do you just take a piece of glass from an old picture frame?
Hi,how to mix the media and in what ratio (linseed oil: tempertin: damar varnish) for oil painting ? That medium into which painters dip a brush and then into paint to paint and mix colors.
at minute 2:38 you apply white to the face. is this a conte crayon or a white oil stick? i wish you hadn't omitted this in your explanation. otherwise i love your videos
I have a question; when you use this technique, or underpaintings in general I suppose, how do you avoid the paint cracking? I’m sorry if this was covered, but I’m still very new to oil painting. Also, I really appreciate these videos, they're very helpful. And I would like to see part 2 please.
This is my first time watching you paint. I’m very intrigued by your talent and method and would like to see more of your instruction. However, the way your camera is situated… a lot of your demonstration of brushwork is blocked by the back of your head. I’m wondering why you don’t watch your own video before you post it so this problem could be corrected? I might try to watch other videos to see if they are any better..technical wise. Your talent is very apparent..sorry, but not your photography ability though.
Hey everyone ! Thanks for watching. If you want to see part 2 with the colors, let me know in the comments section and I'll make sure to record the next phase.
Yes please! I would love to see how you glaze it
Yes, plz 🙏
I look forward to Part 2!

I'm torn. I want to see part 2 with the colors, yet I think this painting is perfect as it is!
Thanks for the great videos!

I finally realized this is the step I needed after thirty years. Yes I’m a slow learner 😂
Would love to see part 2.
your drawing skills are amazing. ~~^^😊😊😊Please play it often in my room, too. ~~^^🧡🧡🧡🧡

I love your contact 😽💖
I would like to see the color added. Thank you.
Can this be done without solvents (or acrylics)?
Hi,how to mix the media and in what ratio (linseed oil: tempertin: damar varnish) for oil painting ? That medium into which painters dip a brush and then into paint to paint and mix colors.

Always fat over lean to prevent the cracking
Is it possible do Alla Prima as the Grasaille? Do B&W values in one session?
Hello. Can I use acrylic paint for grisaille?
Would to see pt 2
Do you thin the grisaille layer with an orderless mineral spirit?
He does
I want to watch you add oil-paint colors to your under painting.
Merci beaucoup... dommage que ce n'est pas en français ou tout du moins traduit. Amicalement
