    Apart from obviously being a skilled artist, you have a real knack for conveying information in a clear, organized and understandable way. Pedagogy is its own skill set, quite apart from making art, and I really appreciate your way of teaching. This was very informative.

      Yes indeed, very helpful. There are so many demos/tutorials that I like, but don't fully understand why they're doing things in a certain way. This was a really well planned lesson and I will certainly give it a go.

      That’s because it literally is a “master piece!” She did what’s called a master study of Rosa Bonheur’s painting “The Horse Fair.” Many classically trained artists will essentially “copy” an artwork to study how a master would paint. It helps train for colour precision, lighting, subject composition, etc.

    • @Erinba
      @Erinba ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Allmylovelyc thank you that’s very helpful to know- I struggle with not wanting to ‘copy’ artists even though I know I will learn from
      it as I’m scared to then venture out on my
      own and most times fail 🤫

    @papayapuffin4927 3 ปีที่แล้ว +568

    I love that you never had and solid “do this” or “don’t do this” statements in this video and instead focused on possibilities and experimentation. So many tutorials that I’ve watched seem to just be about telling people what to do and not do which I think can hurt beginning artists’ creative journey. This was a very good and inspiring tutorial!

    • @MarySanche
      @MarySanche  3 ปีที่แล้ว +67

      Thank you!! That means a lot. A long time ago when I was a wee artist, one of my art friends online (whom I really admired, they were already an art director at a company before I had gone to college) told me that they never took anyone seriously who thought their art tips were law. So... I try not to do that! Everyone learns for their entire life.

    This is the best underpainting tutorial I've ever seen.
    I am still a beginner with painting and color theory, but I didn't know that underpaintings could make such a huge difference! The drastic differences in the various demos also make it so much easier to understand how they work and I am incredibly grateful for that! I've always heard people comment how they could tell whether a painting has one or not and maybe guess what color it was, but they were never elaborated beyond that and this video has finally helped me understand! Thank you!!

    Just, wow. Talent plus!!! I kind of understood the concept of underpainting but didn’t think it would make much of a difference. However seeing the three paintings next to each other really opened my eyes. Very very well done. Thank you!

  • @jourdanhamme4065
    @jourdanhamme4065 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    This was interesting. I knew what an underpainting was but I never thought to let it be seen. I have always used my fine detail brush to cover the underlayer completely. I can see the colored halo effect is nice for a whimsical-cartoon art piece.
    Thank you, you reminded me that putting a compliment wash under the main color focus enrichens the focus of the main color.

    Started following because of your gouache expertise then noticed you have a paleontology focus. Then found out you work at Tyrell which is supercool because I’m a big fan and followed their Speaker Series each season on TH-cam. What this means is I’ve followed your work for years and didn’t really know it. 😏
