This section contains a selection of tutorials on oil painting techniques to assist me in the understanding of the possible process Max Beckmann use in his paintings.

This series of videos by Florent Farges are brilliant. He methodically explains not only the how but the why of using a certain technique or material. He is very easy to listen to and a fabulous teacher. It’s so wonderful that artists such as Florent are so generous in sharing their knowledge.

I will be following the Flesh Tones tutorial to mix my fleshtones for my project. My take away from this video is the importance of a systematic approach in the preparation of the paint before I start. Also, to test out the technique before launching onto the canvas. Since I’ve already started my painting I’ve decided to take a step back, test out my system then start again.

A NOTE ON BRUSHES FROM FLORENT:

“I like the hog bristles more than any other to move around a lot of paint : the graduate series by Daler Rowney really work well for me, and they’re quite inexpensive. Generally speaking, I choose filbert brushes with long bristles, the longer they are, the more control you get. I also love to use a few Kollinski sable rounds for finer work.”
