- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2024
- If I had to think about the technique that impacted me the most as an oil painter, that really made me reach a new level and become the artist that I am today, it would be this one: drawing with paint. It doesn’t seem like much but I can assure you that, once I tried it seriously for the first time, it made something click in my head and liberated my entire process for good. In this video I want to explain to you how I draw with paint, how to start a painting with this method but I also want to explain why this technique changed things for me at such a fundamental level.

Thanks for watching !
This is how I start paintings as well :). The initial "wash" makes a huge difference getting the lines to flow, and being able to lift out the highlights brings the underpainting to life in the early stages. I cannot remember who first showed me this method, and like you say it's not painting by numbers, much more fun. Combined with "wipe-out" technique allows the composition to be corrected much easier than trying to correct an edge later.
This is a technique that I've used from time to time, but your video focused my understanding of its benefits. I think I will be using it much more in future.
I use a similar process to lay in a painting. I also use a hair dryer to hasten the drying time if I wish to remove excess thinner if I want to draw immediately rather than wait.
Thank you for this video! It came at the perfect time since I'm just starting my final painting project for my 2nd yr painting course in uni.
I use this depending on the painting. Sometimes the precision of the pencil is useful for stuff like geometric perspective. As an aside, and certainly not intended as a criticism, burnt umber is an extremely greedy pigment and drinks oil like a monster truck. So when used in conjunction with thinner it greatly increases the risk of paint sinking in on subsequent layers. A more prudent approach would be to use raw umber and warm it up if necessary with something like cadmium red. A book which has been a big help to me is Traditional Oil Painting by Virgil Elliot which goes into the technical stuff regarding materials.
This is also a useful technique for those of us who paint in Acrylic . I look at this as useful to have in ones toolkit, but like most things, it depends on the project.
Using burnt umber and ultramarine blue to make black has always struck me as using an expensive paint to create the look of a cheap paint. For me, I'll stick with Mars black, especially if used for the underpainting. I can always mix in a bit of color if need be.
I like paynes grey- my problem is I fall in love with my lines and do not want to paint much further.
video toujours magnifique. Merci
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Great class! Thanks a lot for sharing!!!!
Good painting advice.
Been binging your stuff all day. Thank you so much for the inspiration ❤
Spot on! Thx
Always love watching and listening, driving a taxi all the chemicals I breathe, at can't even bring my self to actually get oils as medea, I really appreciated your acrylics advice.. and I don't care that you don't do acrylics more often and I do realize that no medea out there like oils..besides maybe watercolor just as hard as oils my understanding 🙏 thank you mister Fargas
Wonderful video, very informative. Thank you for making this, it's inspiring. I want to grab a canvas now and try this technique.
Thank you for sharing. This is helping me a lot!
I learn so much with each of your videos!
Although I don’t paint with oils at the moment, I still love your vidoes and it was lovely to see you on a video I saw on You Tube about the secrets of Leonardo da Vinci😊.
Amazing Video 💕💯🎨🎨🎨 great teaching, thank YOU very very much 🙏🙏😊
Thank you for the video and your continued inspiration.
You are so passionate ! I love it
What do you think about the idea of doing the wash/drawing/underpainting in (watered-down) acrylics and painting over in oils?
Very useful video, thank you Florent Farges!
underpainting techniqe is great for begginers thank you for the video
Very nice❤❤❤
Really good dude!
brilliant thanks florent I will give this a go i use waterbased oils im not fully sure how to use them properly i think i have been making them too wet and they never dry any more than tacky not entirely sure what's wrong. i have started a canvas in acrylics but have now started using my waterbased oils thinly without water over the top to continue and so far they appear to be drying ok so maybe i have cracked it 😂 all i really understand is fat over lean i have the appropriate thiner for these oils but think in the past attempts i used too much which stopped them drying 🤷♀️
Thank you Florent. Have you tried liquid charcoal ? It may also be an interesting medium to use for this
Good stuff 👍
Top, merci.
Thanks!
Did you ever try Gouache or watercolour for underpainting,
Thank you so much for the motivation bro. But every week I get less and less views here. How do I know if I'm good? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
thanx
Fluid drawing well done😅
If I post a picture I'm working on on my channel, will someone check it out and give me figure-on-ground advice?
A layer of wash, seems counter productive to the typical use of Gesso,no?
Gesso is basic treatment for the canvas.. you could try this solvent wash and sketching after the gesso layer dries completely..
You are so great, thanks for giving us so much information
💙💙💙👏👏👏
Funny I like burnt umber and dislike raw umber :p
I show the best way to start oil painting but no one watches! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
what do u mean? your channel?
Yes bro
New sub
Twelfth minute 🙏 I've been sketching on the walls of my own rooftop, started the whole thing with pencil, but coloring it is the aim, thing that bugs me is, people that see it they keep telling not to color it because it might loose just that which you say, lose it's liveliness 🫨
What if I just go over it and block from my mind and adjust with the acrylics I chose to go with?
