Finally I found a normal lesson on writing sketches . You portray a living person on the canvas , not copying nature. How beautiful it is . It is a pity that so few good videos on KZfaq .

"throw in a few curls to ...HAVE FUN!" omg hahah

I saw this video almost 12 years ago and I see newer things I had never seen in the first place or missed first time around. Mr. Liberace is a brilliant painter. His approach and technique and brush work excite me every time I see him paint. He has such a clear vision of the process and the medium of painting. I remain an avid fan even 14 years later. Thank you for making this video for meant to enjoy today.

Oh my gosh. What an incredible portrait. The set up was actually masterful and colourful too. A very complimentary scheme! That man was a great model as well. Wonderful explanation.

Liberace is one of my FAVORITES! He is a MASTER FIGURE PAINTER and a THROWBACK to the GREAT RENAISSANCE PERIOD!!!

Can't wait! Your such an inspiration!

Absolutely wonderful at capturing expressions in the eyes. Exceptional work!

Fra tutti i ritrattisti che ho visto sei il più bravo !!!!!!! Grande capacita di inerpetrazione !!! BRAVO ; e sei pure giovane !!!

i love how effortlessly he paints!

Amazing painter....a modern master......now I through my art supplies away!!!!!

Exciting to watch!

Robert, you are really a great artist. I so wish you were here in Texas.

Really wonderful, good work ...... Keep it up !!

Really happy I finally got to meet you today, it's so wild I like have a copy of this painting that I did when I was younger, taught me a lot honestly. I thank you :)

Thank you!

Beautiful.

Wtf! Was that? No wonder I like this artist's artworks. Now seeing this snippet of him actually rocking this canvas (never seen him in action) just blows my mind away! Amazing!👊👊

Bravo...maestro !

super...wish it was longer! I would love to see the eyes from start to finish. Excellent...you also show that art is fun! This is the secret artists know ! lol!

Fantastic!!

Very impressive demo. Liberace has the qualities of mark that I love. His "bravura" brushstrokes are reminiscent of the Munich school but his palette is lighter. I have always found doing a loose tonal underpainting to be very helpful. In the first minutes of this clip the form is established through the use of tone. Although his marks are loose he never sacrifices accuracy of the drawing. The idea of drawing with paint is very evident here. Great stuff!!

You really captured him, especially the eyes.

Some of what he said was actually pretty obvious....yet I didn't know it! Great video, and thanks for the help!!!

wonderful

Really useful. Worth the price just for the first few minutes.

I'm with you Yukari. So good to see a maestro at play.

Muito bom. Parabéns e obrigado pelo vídeo!...

"If you break things up too early, the overall form is lost" - Thanks for that hint. That is one of my faults...

have fun, yes

I added this video to the PLAYLIST: Painting Demonstrations Art Videos.

Muy buena, me pongo a practicar

Robert is my favorite master painter ever...just how do I have the privelage and opportunity to apprentice under this greater master?

I hope I can painting like this ^^

WOW!!

great

Wonderful!y robliberace Question: what do you use other then turpentine as a medium to thin out the paint? linseed oil? I heard Liquin was good, and minimizes glare. I have an issue with glare and have tried many things, and am having a bit of a hard time. Would really appreciate some advice. Thanks! Pablo

Wonderful texture. What type of brush are you using for the detail work?

Muy bueno

holy shit!

i bought this video i tried to do this painting for the third time as i watch the video and i just dont understand. when i apply paint and i rub the brush on the canvas like Rob does the brush always remove the paint under but when Rob does it that doesnt happen, why??? is it the paints he use? is it the brushes????. i dont understand alla prima seriously . What brand of paints and brushes he uses in this video?

i love and i like you... i am happy to see your video my friend... i find it useful to watch your work, keep it up and keep up the good work.... greetings and greetings of friendship from me in Indonesia ... may we always be healthy so that we can continue to work ... and from here I hope for your support and guidance from you for me my friend, I like you my best friend and I love you.

DAMN THIS DUDE IS A BAD ASS!! I WISH HE WAS MY INSTRUCTOR!!

Do you observe "fat over lean" principle here? since it is a wet on wet process?

I notice that you paint with a lot of planes. How do you identify the different tones? The violets and greens ect?

nice

"We'll throw in some curls to... HAVE FUN!!!!" hahhaha

Nice painter.

Great! Барельеф "Бойцовская рыбка". Леонид Ким

eccezionali le tue opere! mi puoi dire che MEDIUM usi???? grazie

what brown did you use for the first shadows ? and what colors did you use to make flesh color ?

Очень мягко и свободно

It seems that the canvas is not prepared, do You prepare them with gesso or you buy the ones that are prepared?
