Hi everybody, my name is Michael Knepper and this is my first KZfaq video!
After 30 years of painting I thought it would be time to share some thoughts and some of my work with the KZfaq community. After decades of hard work I am finally at a point where my work is internationally recognised and appreciated. This is the dream of every artist - so one advise- stay focus and always believe in what you do. The world needs artists that use there hands not photoshop to create their masterpieces. Visit my website www.michael-knepper.com for more of my work!

God Bless you , and thank you for sharing your talent!!! PS: I LOVE all of your work that I have so far seen especially this of your very handsome son, Jesus, Jimi Hendrix, Jean Michel Basquiat, Nelson Mandela, Kurt Cobain, etc... You other artwork is phenomenal too!

Ist die Frage erlaubt, an welcher Hochschule für Gestaltung oder Malerei beziehungsweise bildende Künste sie hier, sich möglicherweise weiter gebildet haben? Aber ich schätze mal das bedingungsloser Fleiß und Praxis hier das allerwichtigste sind. ✌️🤩

Excellent work Michael! I have a question. How do you go about getting the right size and proportions of the eyes, nose and mouth on the face? Do you measure the proportions out or you just lay it out and hope for the best? This, for me, is the hardest challenge I have when painting - I am a beginner. Thanks.

Great work ...so this is all done Alla Prima in acrylic ? I'm thinking that because if oil you would have to wait a long time for the underpainting to dry . Some years back I worked with Yigal Ozeri so my appreciation for photo realism painting started there . Thanks for sharing this video .

@michaelknepper7639 8 жыл бұрын

+Boots Zara Walken, it is hard to say since sometimes I put them aside and start or work on a different painting. Especially when you work on a size like that you might need some distance from time to time. Additionally, the Oil sometimes need a long time to dry properly so then is when I start working on a different project and get stuck ; ) But from beginning to end it was about 2 months with on and off periods!

@michaelknepper7639 8 жыл бұрын

+weMASSIVE it depends, the foundation is acryl and when I go into details and or try to achieve the smoothest transition possible I use oil - feel free to send me a message through facebook or my HP if you have additional questions.

Hi! I did the groundwork with acrylic color and the elaboration in oil!

@jennyp9091 4 жыл бұрын

I would love to know at which point you transition to oils and why. I am an oil painter myself. I have only combined the two when I use acrylics to color the canvas.

@michaelknepper9085 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Jenny, I use acrylic for priming and groundwork because of the longer dry time of oil!

@Ryan-ih6km 6 жыл бұрын

Hi michael..thanks for your video.you artwork are amazing..i have a question..usually i use acrylic painting .but i found that my painting have a rough stroke ..and i cannot make a smooth transition..do you think that acrylic can make a smooth transition like oil painting ?

@michaelknepper9085 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Ryan, thank you ver much for your compliment , I appreciate it very much! To your question:To get a smooth transition with acrylic colors you can use a retarder and of course you need the right brush . I know that there are so many different brushes in the market that you easily can loose track of . But I think you'll find the right brush by detailed exercises! I personally like the combination to paint with acrylic colors (groundwork) together with oil colors for the elaboration . Kind regards from Hamburg /Germany Michael

@georgiadavies1988 7 жыл бұрын

Hi I'm learning to paint myself I was wondering how you get accurate proportions on large pieces like this? I have been trying to grid method but i always get a bit lost

@LIjah97 7 жыл бұрын

agreed, and feel exactly the same way. Proportions are much easier for me when in a smaller scale. When done this big, it's always a wonder how they get so accurate without the use of a grid. I think it's all from experience

Hi Georgia, you can large pieces like this divide into small squares to get the right proportions (like old masters did)or you can use a projector.
