It Doesn't Have to be Complicated - Oil Painting Time Lapse | Commentary

Activate the subtitles for the commentary. For this Oil Painting Time Lapse video, the commentary is in the subtitles. This way, you can watch the time lapse and only listen to the music if you prefer. Enjoy !
For this episode, I would like to talk about simplicity and its implications in the painting process. To a lot of people, especially beginners, painting is an intricate chain of events including very complicated techniques... And of course, when someone see the finished result, and only that, it's hard to find simplicity anywhere. Everything feels complex from an outside look

About me (bio) :

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 and explanations that can be useful to anyone, from beginners to more advanced artists.
