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. I do mostly drawing and oil painting, and my goal is always to provide techniques, thoughts and explanations that can be useful to anyone, from beginners to more advanced artists.

Hey everyone, thanks for watching. What would you say is the most complicated painting thing to understand for a beginner ? Leave a comment below and maybe it will serve for a future video. And finally, take care ! Now more than ever : Joy and Inspiration to all.

I would say: The hardest thing for a beginner is to see light and dark values consciously in reality and while painting.

@cynthiamarston2208 2 жыл бұрын

I’ll say the hardest part of beginning oil painting is the use of medium. I will recommend to not use it until you learn the actual drying times for your own particular style and thickness of paint that you use for at least one painting. And notice some colors dry more quickly than other colors. It seems fundamental to learn this through experience before considering medium. And just do small paintings like 5”x7” to get used to everything. Small isnt the easiest but just the least worry about wasting supplies. Doing such small painting is a good exercise anyway then to always go for standard size for whatever…portrait or landscape still life etc.

Great video. Being a new artist myself, I struggle with the type of surface to start painting on and how to prep it properly. There are so many choices it's hard to decide what type of canvas/board to start painting on and how to prep the surface. Also, some videos show people starting with a mixture of mineral spirits and paint to make a thin wash to cover the surface and start layering thicker paint after the first thin coat but other videos state that this is NOT a good way to start a painting because the thin paint will not hold up (bond) properly.

A cheap electric orbital sander from the hardware store is very useful in getting an even texture on the gesso layer. When we do it by hand, we tend to develop patterns in the ground layer that may later dictate how the surface accepts the paint.

@peteannells4218 2 жыл бұрын

...and, especially when machine sanding, beware the dust !. Gesso makes fine dust and you need to keep it out of your lungs. Mask up !

Thanks for the video the shoots are amazing by the way🖒 But can you please make advanced oil painting video ? And recommend free books about oil painting? Cause in my country i can't participate in patreon for lessons or even buy books or anything online😓

@chaconne0488 2 жыл бұрын

You explain everything wonderfully. I have a problem of this kind: I cannot understand why some painters use oil from the very beginning, even first they re-paint the primed underpaint with a thin layer. Of course, they no longer use turpentine but oil, but how does this compare to the fat-on-lean technique? If I need a thick coat, can I then use the paint straight from the tube and the painting will not crack? When I tried to paint like that, it didn't work out at all and I went back to building layers. Best wishes

I used to make my own black oil - lead carbonate mixed with linseed oil heated until the linseed turns opaque and appear black. Now I use Liquin Fine Detail which has almost the exact same working properties of black oil. Regular Liquin imitates the Maroger medium which is black oil mixed with mastic varnish. The varnish gives the black oil the gell like properties.

@FlorentFargesarts 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, never been a fan of Maroger and black oil. It's overkill with the modern products we have today.

Merci Florent pour tous vos conseils, c'est toujours un plaisir de vous écouter. J'aimerais m'acheter un chevalet d'atelier car je n'ai qu'un chevalet de table. J'ai entendu dire que la marque Mabef était une très bonne marque, gage de qualité, mais c'est assez cher. J'ai vu sur Manomano un chevalet à manivelle de la marque artina qui est moins cher. Avez-vous déjà entendu parler de cette marque et si oui, savez-vous si la qualité est bonne ? C'est un investissement et j'aimerais ne pas me tromper mais ce n'est pas facile de faire le bon choix sans expérience. Vos conseils me seraient précieux. Encore merci pour ce partage.

How to wash colors in between colors?

@jeffcoffey8970 2 жыл бұрын

How would you mix the oil and paint, still in the tubes? I am currently using Bob Ross paints and they are very oily and some tubes are usually separated. To dry out the paints, I put all the colors on a piece of cardboard or a paper bag, to draw out all the excess oil. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

@mb9599 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Florent ! Just a question : how do you keep the paint tubes: straight up with the cap on or upside down? I have tried both ways and the oil runs down the tube and sticks the tubes together. Also, how to avoid the oil coming out first on the palette ? TX

@FlorentFargesarts 2 жыл бұрын

I keep there flat and have ko problems. Clean the caps before closing. If oil drops, there is no real option unfortunately, just remove the excess oil.
