The Alla Prima Portrait: DVD Excerpts. This clip shows several minutes segments from the dvd by painter Robert Liberace. More info at www.robertliberace.com.
Finally I found a normal lesson on writing sketches . You portray a living person on the canvas , not copying nature. How beautiful it is . It is a pity that so few good videos on TH-cam .
I saw this video almost 12 years ago and I see newer things I had never seen in the first place or missed first time around. Mr. Liberace is a brilliant painter. His approach and technique and brush work excite me every time I see him paint. He has such a clear vision of the process and the medium of painting. I remain an avid fan even 14 years later. Thank you for making this video for meant to enjoy today.
Oh my gosh. What an incredible portrait. The set up was actually masterful and colourful too. A very complimentary scheme! That man was a great model as well. Wonderful explanation.
Really happy I finally got to meet you today, it's so wild I like have a copy of this painting that I did when I was younger, taught me a lot honestly. I thank you :)
Hey Gil, Great seeing you at Cooper. Congratulations on your success there. Your family must be proud. Saw some of your work, looks intense--loved especially your Sumo wrestlers and your early Chuck Close-like portrait. Hope to see you again soon
Wtf! Was that? No wonder I like this artist's artworks. Now seeing this snippet of him actually rocking this canvas (never seen him in action) just blows my mind away! Amazing!👊👊
Very impressive demo. Liberace has the qualities of mark that I love. His "bravura" brushstrokes are reminiscent of the Munich school but his palette is lighter. I have always found doing a loose tonal underpainting to be very helpful. In the first minutes of this clip the form is established through the use of tone. Although his marks are loose he never sacrifices accuracy of the drawing. The idea of drawing with paint is very evident here. Great stuff!!
super...wish it was longer! I would love to see the eyes from start to finish. Excellent...you also show that art is fun! This is the secret artists know ! lol!
nice someone which use emotion on pictures , many which paint portraits ... the picture looks death on the end ......great work.. and also for the short time.
@@lulilua9603 Its a discipline to keep stepping back to take in the picture as a whole - Its very easy to get sucked into detail ( especially if you're working from a photograph) so you loose sight of the wood for the trees

i bought this video i tried to do this painting for the third time as i watch the video and i just dont understand. when i apply paint and i rub the brush on the canvas like Rob does the brush always remove the paint under but when Rob does it that doesnt happen, why??? is it the paints he use? is it the brushes????. i dont understand alla prima seriously . What brand of paints and brushes he uses in this video?
Wonderful!y robliberace Question: what do you use other then turpentine as a medium to thin out the paint? linseed oil? I heard Liquin was good, and minimizes glare. I have an issue with glare and have tried many things, and am having a bit of a hard time. Would really appreciate some advice. Thanks! Pablo
Linseed oil is most commonly used, but any medium that says "matte" finish will not be glossy. Also, gently sanding the surface of your painting with sand paper or an auto sander will remove glossy surface. I have this same problem. Best of Luck

Nice work.
"If you break things up too early, the overall form is lost" - Thanks for that hint. That is one of my faults...
Hello a decade later 👋🏻 I agree!! That hint is very useful for me as well

Очень мягко и свободно

Do you observe "fat over lean" principle here? since it is a wet on wet process?

Nice painter.
