I paint mainly imaginative realism. I’m mostly self-taught, I learned the techniques of the Academy of the Nineteenth century by myself 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. On YouTube, I do mostly drawing and oil painting techniques videos in the Atelier tradition, I share thoughts and explanations that can be useful to anyone, from beginners to more advanced artists interested in picking up realism and classical figuration. πŸ›’ Visit my shop : https://atelierfigurativearts.com/ *** Materials list: ✍️ Drawing βœ“ Kneaded eraser βœ“ Small mirror βœ“ Graphite Pencils 2H, HB and 2B βœ“ Charcoal: Nitram charcoals (H, HB and B) 🎨 Palette βœ“ Titanium White PW6 βœ“ Flake White (or substitute) PW1 βœ“ Cadmium Yellow light (or "lemon") PY35 βœ“ Yellow Ochre PY42 βœ“ Raw Umber PBr7 βœ“ Transparent Red Oxyde PR101 βœ“ Burnt Umber PBr7 βœ“ Venetian Red PR101 βœ“ Pyrrole Red PR255 βœ“ Quinacridone Rose PV19 βœ“ Ultramarine Blue PB29 βœ“ Ivory Black PBk9 βœ“ Cobalt Teal Blue (turquoise light) PG50 βœ“ Phthalo Turquoise PB15 + PG7 βœ“ Phthalo green yellow shade PG36 πŸ–ŒοΈ Brushes βœ“ Filbert hog bristle and Synthetic sizes nΒ° 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 βœ“ Flat Synthetic brushes (same size) βœ“ Round sable brush or round Kolinsky sable nΒ° 4, 8, 10, 12 (from the size of the nail (about one inch) or synthetic imitation Medium βœ“ Linseed stand oil βœ“ Odorless mineral spirits βœ“ Or Alkyd medium (Liquin, Galkyd, Flow'n'Dry etc.) βœ“ Safflower oil Surface βœ“ Linen canvas, fine grain universal coating βœ“ For studies : Canson oil-acrylic oil paper Figueras βœ“ Gesso and MDF panels are also great for studies #art #painting #inspiration
