The MOST Important PAINTING EXERCISE I Ever Did was not EVEN DONE WITH PAINT

- What if I told you that this simple exercise made me a much better painter but it doesn’t require the use of any paint whatsoever. You might find it ridiculous but, think about it, the deep, fundamental connection between drawing and painting is well-known, it’s actually hard to know where drawing stops and wher painting starts. One thing is for sure, it’s extremely hard to master figurative painting if you struggle with drawing.
Set-up
We’re going to do a master copy of Velasquez’ the Waterseller of Seville, you can do this one, or any master picture you like, preferably with a strong chiaroscuro. You can either print it like I did (and as you can see, the quality of the colors is not super important so you can print it in black and white with a standard quality printer it doesn’t make a huge difference, it’s just practice) or another option is to cut it from an art magazine, as you prefer. Next, you want to take some good quality watercolor paper and make an acrylic, gouache or watercolor wash. Any type of background color works, for this one, I tried to make a yellow-brown similar to the model. Just tape the surface right next to the model on a drawing board and gather some charcoal material, here’s what you’re going to need : some charcoal, my favorite brand is Nitram but for this exercise, any good quality charcoal might do the job, a kneaded eraser, which we are going to use extensively and a small brush (dry and clean).

I am an artist living and working in France. I learned the techniques of the Atelier of the Nineteenth century and now I try to share some of my knowledge with the rest of the world, because I think that beauty still has an important role to play in artistic creation.

Thanks for watching !
Dear Florent, maybe at one time you will publish a book about your condensed knowledge of art/drawing etc albeit in a different manner compared to the zillion of books on painting which are already available. Something really unique
A great exercise! Thanks.
And my compliments for your art.
Merci florent c'est une technique que je ne connaissais pas je vais la tester merci😄
Merci Florent, j'ai hâte d'essayer cette méthode !
I love your video.very educational.thank you.i wish to see more of your videos.thank you.
Florent, I can't thank you enough. Today I was able to do this exercise (i've chosen the old lady portrait from Caravaggio's Judith and Holofernes), following your great pieces of advice. I just can't believe how awesome was the outcome!! Thank u so much
I love this portrait you chose, it is a great model for this exercise. Happy my work helped 😊
So glad to hear you have another course coming. I just bought your other classes and have watched all the videos. The idea that I don’t have to match each color to my reference photo, that color is relative to a painting, was mind exploding. I’m a beginning beginner and found your classes filled in a lot of holes 9n my understanding. I really understand the components of color so much better now.
I love this!
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. It is absolutely a great exercise to train one’s eyes to focus on shapes and proportions instead of being drawn to details. Thank you so much!
Thank God... He explained the process of learning painting also... I was always tried learning values of portraits first but never found out myself
I can’t try this quickly enough.
Thanks 😊 take your time though...
Oooo. I like. I'm going to have to try this out. Thanks.
Awesome, let me know how it goes then 😀 👍
Thanks for showing practically each step detaied also...
You're so welcome ☺ 🙏
I am learning so much and I want to thank you for giving so much insight about your journey of drawing. Since technical info is at hand everywhaere but you give a deeper insight 🙏♥️I guess it also depends on where somebody is in their drawing jouney
Great idea
Wow!! This is the first video of yours I've seen. And I am so happy you popped up in my feed! Thank you!
I did this exercise with Rembrandt's "Head of Christ." It was a very good exercise! Thank you. I am going to do it again, and probably yet again!
Excellent Job!!!!
Amazing exercise, many thanks for sharing it 👏👏🥰
Excellent as all your tutorials
Yoooooooo!!!!! This was Brilliant 👏 I loved it
Glad you liked it!!
Thanks!
No problem!
This is incredible!
Thankyou this was very informative xx
Thanks fot this tip, will surely implement, much love from india
Great👍👍👏👏 ❤❤❤
Thanks 😊 🙏✨👍
Florent, have you tried the same “erasing” technique with dark oils colors instead of charcoal? I’m wondering if one could get a decent claroscuro painting in that manner. Thank you for this great video.
I have, you can even still use a kneaded eraser but you'll probably want to start with a rag or paper towel.
I thought the thumbnail image was actually a self portrait 🤣 I like you Velasquez style.
Thank you for the exercise.
You're welcome, glad you like it.
Gracias
When finished with the charcoal painting, what do you spray on to seal? Do you frame below glass? What is the name of the reference painting you used? You are a master. Thank you!
Hi Juanita, I do two light coats of spray fixative and then (ideally) put it behind glass or in a protective portfolio.
The painting is called "The Water Seller of Seville" by Diego Velasquez
Wow
What is carascuro you mention- is it a light effect?
There's a face at the bottom right corner of your base wash color!
Une grâce de dieu magnifique
It's always good to draw but I think the more useful exercise is to directly paint after the masters in oil.
👍
This painting looks like Justo Gallego a man who built his own cathedral in Spain.
good exo here
Alter Schwede!
🤎
Okay but that's not a painting
painting is drawing, with paint...
Are you tired and bored or that's your natural way of talking?
Florent , I am Alejandro Lopez, I sent you a message to your Instagram about the Practical Guide to oil painting
Hi, I responded, check your emails.
@@FlorentFargesarts thank Florent , I found the email , it was on another account I have :) , so I found the link to download the videos again
