About me (bio) :
Website :

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.

Florent Farges - arts, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!

Wouldn't call it cheating. I'd call it being accurate. Appreciate the helpful tips you explained throughout your video.
-
This, for sure, would be an awesome class as always! Thanks, Florent!
-
I've been away from the atelier (ARA Toronto) for years. Thank you for the welcome reminder. I will set-up a Bargue, a Hogarth or a Fechin as a model, and do a 'size-as' study. Excellent way to remove the "block"!
-
Good advice, you make it look easy! Thank you 😊
-
Thank you, you've got a great way of explaining things!
-
What a great way to lay out proportions, common intercepts between what you are trying to draw with what you are drawing. This idea never occurred to me yet it was right there for me to see and utilize. Great class! Thank you for this. I really enjoyed following your class and I actually learned something useful.
-
Just taken up drawing and painting again at 75, after a life of being a graphic designer and digital artist. Your tips Florent, are excellent, so much so I've subscribed! Thank you.

Thanks Florent, this would be very helpful to me🙏
-
Perfect timing for this video. Struggling with blowing up a portrait from a small photo and just not having any luck. Now I’ll draw out in scale on paper first then use that for canvas transfer . Thanks for tip
-
You're the man!! Thanks.

That was a nice run-down on how the brain works when measuring at different scales, I had no idea. And as someone who's been making good use of grids for measuring, I know that being overly dependant on these rulers could turn into a crutch, so I try to keep that in mind.
