Absolutely stunning 😍. You should have more followers.
This makes me want to stop giving in to my frustration and actually paint for fun❤❤❤
And, i love the guitar music! 👍👍👍
Привет! Потрясающие портреты, я смотрела весь процесс как завороженная от начала и до конца. Отдельный респект за музыкальное сопровождение 👍 весьма неожиданно было услышать liquid dnb 🥰
wow, wow, wow....just WOW!
OMG. i am in AWE of these paintings!
Yes! This definately inspiring!! Thank you!
Both of the paintings are absolutely beautiful. I love the color scheme and the whole painting.
I’m so glad that you liked it!!!! 😃✌️
Beautiful painting!❤ I loved watching this all come together.
Amazing 🤩
Ooooo was that a Jeremy Mann study at 0:32? looks so similar to his style of painting. LOVE IT!
@@CoreFineArt 😃yes!!!! He’s work is so inspiring !!! ✌️
Beautiful! Really enjoyed watching you paint from start to finish. Please do more! ♥
@@lindapham1013 thank you!!! 🙌 right now I’m working on a new video 😁
Such beautiful artwork!
@@beccogiallo thank you 😃!!!
Incredible art❤❤❤
😃 Thank you!!
so beautiful! loved it
Maestro...
love the art and advice! I am just wondering can you pre-prime a few pages and then paint on them later whenever you want to?
Thank you!! And yes you can pre-prime it … if you use acrylic gesso or any acrylic primer the paper will not get sticky (personal experience) ✌️😃
Hi. Your portraits are great. I'd like to ask a question in case you know the answer. I'm interested to work in my sketchbooks with oils but I have to use due to allergy the water soluble ones. Do I have to prime my paper with regular gesso or with watercolor ground instead?
Hello, the water-based oil paint once dry works the same as traditional oil paint, so I recommend priming with gessoo or any acrylic primer you have.

@@leogalvezart OK...Thank you a lot for the info. :)
Your work looks amazing, wonderful use of colour and tones. Very beautiful 😍 ❤

18:01 très motivée oui merciii
Thank you for the inspiration! what do you cover your work with at the end?
Hi! Sometimes I apply a coat of retouching varnish and sometimes just leave it as it is
Some colors when they dry tends to get opaque so with a coat of retouching varnish the colors and tones get even ✌
Do you use medium to make the paint flow or just go with straight out of the tube? I see a lot of people layering, and even though I get it intellectually what you're supposed to do, it is very difficult to do it cleanly without using a really thick paint.
I used to use "liquin" but now, like in these paintings, I only use linseed oil as a medium.
Some of my colors are super thick right out of the tube so I thin them out with linseed oil 👌… I’m trying to keep it simple as possible
So I always finish the painting in one siting if it’s possible, that’s helped me to loose my brushwork
@@leogalvezart Oh that's interesting. So you had a video a month or so ago where you seemed to be using really thinned down darks in the beginning, but that was actually linseed oil? So for painting alla prima it works out okay to do that?
Sorry to bother with technical questions but do I take it those are synthetic brushes, and what do you paint on surface-wise? My biggest problem in trying oils has been this grabby sensation, I've tried gessoing different surfaces, but it always drags too much whic then makes things hard to control, but I haven't tried tiny brushes, I think that might help, possibly even oiling out...
@@callmedeno oooo that was oil thinner 😃.. I use it to clean my brushes and sometimes to make color washes to tone the surface and get rid of the white background…
To avoid that dragging paint feeling I suggest you to start with thine layers and always try to block in the darkest colors first (like shadows or any color close to black ) it’s easy paint white on black but really messy the other way around… and apply the right amount of medium just to make the paint flows out of your brush if you put a lot of medium the paint will run out all over the surface…
I paint with any surface I have at hand and paper turns out to be cheaper and faster, at least for me.
I’m happy to help with any questions ✌
@@leogalvezart That's great. Would you bother gessoing oil canvas paper, or do you mean literally any paper which you apply gesso to?
Am I right in thinking that when you apply a thin wash with darks and thinner, essentially you are 'oiling out' at the same time, because even though there is thinner, the oil in paint is also filling in some of the surface texture?
Finally, I really want to try tiny brushes, here it seems you have something like a raphael hog? What tiny brushes would you recommend?
Thank you, that is the last round!
@@callmedeno It really works on any paper heavier than 100gsm for sketchbook size.
I recommend acrylic primer over gesso for priming paper surface…
When you apply thinner, the oil in the paint will disintegrate and just left the pigment so I wouldn’t consider as a oiling the surface, but it will depend on how much thinner you put on it.
Actually I use “Rosemary & co” brushes (the black handle ones) and a few really cheap ones.. in my opinion they’re never enough lol
You always welcome to ask anything ✌
🎉🎉🎉❤❤
nice! is the moleskin a wet medium book or is it just a regular paper sketchbook?
@@garrettgoldsmith hi!!! Its the regular Sketchbook version 165 g/m2 … in the label says “Art collection “
@ thanks! I’m gunna gather materials and try this this weekend!
I never thought about the masking tape trick. Thank you, def trying this.
I don't like how the book cress goes across the face, but good painting.
✨🫰🏻
Then what? Leave them open a week? Varnish?
It’s dry within 24 to 36 hours depending on how thick you apply the paint layer … but you can always use “liquin” (fast drying medium) ✌
@@leogalvezart so you’re saying after a day or two you can close the book and they won’t stick together? And that you have to basically apply some pretty thin layers? Because I had the same question…
@ yes you can close it without a problem. There’s people that put a sheet of baking paper to prevent that.
So far I haven’t had any problems
The reason why i paint on my sketchbook is because it’s faster to prepare and much cheaper than canvases or wood panels
Its for practice and I don’t have the pressure of showing it to anyone 😆
I recommend you to try it on a loose sheet of paper and see if it works for you
If your brushstrokes are smooth it’s going to dry within 24 to 36 hours . But if you use impasto technique I will recommend you to apply a drying medium 🙌
@@leogalvezart yes, I agree doing things and sketchbooks is faster cheaper easier and low pressure oil painting is not some thing I ever thought I could do that with, however, I have seen other people do it. I just never understood what would happen once you painted it regarding drying time and pages sticking, etc., I have even gessoed an entire sketchbook that I repurposed just so I can do oil paint or acrylics. But I couldn’t get past the part of where to put it once I painted in it and how long it would take to dry, etc.… Thank you for the in-depth reply and explanation. I really appreciate it :-) now I’m just gonna have to try it and see for myself!😉
It's complicating life for not much
Say more?
@@aku26 1. There are cheap supports already ready
2. Maintaining the notebook (heavy and unstable) to paint.
3. But above all, where is the point of creating an image "cut in half" on a notebook?
4. It is not "exploitable" and it is not aesthetic.
It would already make more sense to paint on a single sheet to have the entirety (and integrity) of the image on a single surface. If his notebook were to unravel, for example, he would have pieces of paintings. On a single sheet, he can at least recover his image.
@@richarde1294 the paintings are for practice and do not need to be separated individually which is why they are in a sketchbook. he could do two separate images on each side if he wanted to but seems to prefer the larger format of two pages.
@@mf-- I understood. But as much to make the useful to the pleasant. It is still easier to paint on a larger notebook if the author wants a large format than to use a small notebook on two pages.
@@richarde1294 That makes sense. A bigger notebook. Besides if you really like it, you might want to hang it on a wall, or sell it. You can rip out a single page, but not so much two pages which also ruin the paintings on the back. I like his stuff.
Yes! This definately inspiring!! Thank you!
