I think that oil-painting was one of man’s greatest ever inventions/developments. For many reasons. I like to believe that if it was taught in school from a young age it would bring humanity to a new level 💡

I am happy that I found this impressive channel. Mr. Borrero, you made me very curious to understand old masters' techniques, their used paints/pigments/mediums, and what their work makes art mysterious, magic, and beautiful. I started to watch quite some of the videos and ordered oils and resins and mediums, prepping for grinding my own paints, thanks to your videos. Two of the various proposed reference books arrived also ("Vasari on Technique" and "The Craftsman's Handbook") and the two first underdrawings are transferred following your underdrawing video and the two books. 🙂 I also looked at the Kremer website, but first, have to find the budget... and quite some historic pigments are not available to "non-professional users" (lead, mercury, arsenic, etc.), like the Stack Lead White, the Lead Tin Yellow, the Vermillion, the Azurite that you listed in this video. Finding other pigments that are coming close might be possible, but for the Lead White, I am not sure. Are you using the Porphyr grinding stone, as described in the books with a muller stone, or a glass plate with a glazen muller? Anyway, the channel has lots of very informative, inspiring, and beautiful videos. All the best for 2022. Thanks for this work! 🙂

It’s interesting how the umber (a warm neutraliser) is positioned at the end of the warm colours. And how the black (a cool neutraliser) is kept at the start of the cool colours. I’m sure that’s not incidental 🍺

Thank you for the great video! What do you think, how did these artists used these colors? Did they mainly mixed them ready on the palette and used alla prima or did they work by layers? How many layers was typical let's say for Rubens? Thank you for your answers!!!

Hello Henri: I think a painter like Ruben worked on a systematic way. Chemical analysis for some of Rubens and Van Dyck paintings find anywhere from 3 to 9 layers of paint.

Awesome video Luis, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I would like to know if you can suggest me some books for paint making process and pigments. I’m really interested in making my own oil paint and I consider myself as an pigment nerd as well. I’ve already had some paint making experience, but I want to know all the tricks about handmaking oil paint, like which pigments are best to use with safflower or linseed oil, or some oil paint recipes for specific colors

Attending public school as a child did me no favors in the Art section. We were taught the basics on primary colors, drew in stick figures, and had no real Art history education. I feel cheated. I barely know how to draw, let alone know how to paint. However, I’ve grown particularly interested in classical Art & Masters. Where/how should I start first as someone who is a totally novice to Art. I want to paint as a hobby, but everything I paint is abstract, and not the good kind.

Hello MJ: Thank you for commenting! My first recommendation is to visit museums. This will inspire you tremendously. After you have decided to pursue drawing or painting you can begin by taking basic courses to learn drawing fundamentals. It takes patience and dedication but, for me the most important aspect is to love what you’re pursuing. Best wishes.

Hi, Luis, thanks for this. Have any tips on avoiding the discoloration of cochineal red?

@LuisBorreroVisualArtist 2 жыл бұрын

Hello Alex: That is a very good question. I asked myself the same question many years ago. Why use a fugitive pigment at all, and how did painters from the past managed to avoid this problem. The honest answer is that cochineal will undoubtedly fade, and that the pigment is flawed. However, it seems that the old masters partially remedied this defect by handling the pigment in a certain sequence. For example: Cochineal the majority of the time was combined with other lakes such as Madder or Lac. The carmine passages were usually under-painted with Vermilion and white or another type of bodied color. The cochineal was glazed on top of the underpainting in multiple layers with heat bodied oil and, a bit of pine resin to raise the refractive index of the color. Pacheco mentions this practice in order to protect the colors from the ravages of time. This practice works pretty well in protecting the color overall, but it will not completely remedy the problem. Another tip is to manufacture the pigment with a high saturation of color by using a large amount of cochineal. A lot of recipes from the 17th century call for textile shearing to make Cochineal, and this in theory would result in a color that is slightly less concentrated than using the actual insect as the coloring matter.

I cannot help but wonder why the “old chaps” almost all seemed to employ raw umber. Do you know what its value was for them? Very curious.

@LuisBorreroVisualArtist 2 жыл бұрын

Hello: Raw Umber was used extensively by the old masters because it was readily available, dries quickly and it is useful when painting warm dark tints for shadows. The Spaniards called Raw Umber “Sombra” which translates to “shadow”.

@PanShakely 2 жыл бұрын

@@LuisBorreroVisualArtist thanks for your helpful reply. I always like to keep an umber on the palette, I just found it difficult to discern whether raw or burnt umber was most useful. If I am painting the landscape then I find burnt umber more handy. With Prussian blue it makes an interesting range of greenish greys. But I think raw umber might prove ultimately to be the real winner overall. Have a great day painting and thanks again for everything.

Luis, I have read that a painter should not use a metal palette knife to mix lead tin yellow because it will tarnish. Is this true in your experience?

@LuisBorreroVisualArtist 2 жыл бұрын

Hello Michael: Thank you for commenting. I have not experienced any tarnishing with Lead Tin Yellow. However, My palette knife is made out of aluminum. In the past most likely they were made out of Steel and some colors such as lake colors are sensitive to metals. I do know that when making lead white your tools have to be impeccably clean otherwise, you can ruin your white because any amount of rust on a Steel palette knife would ruin the lead white. I can imagine it’s the same for Lead tin Yellow. Thank you for commenting.
