Video Rating: 4 / 5

Come inside the inner sanctum of a professional artist’s studio where a masterpiece seascape is created in rare Fine Art Techniques and shown in time lapse for you. Over 3 months work in 6 minutes. Thrilling mad experience and some serious art on YouTube. It is painted in 9 stages. Each of those stages has been carefully edited and made into an exciting DVD available at our website artbytv.com. By way of interest, artist Robert Bosler sometimes paints in over sixty stages, which is quite rare in today’s ‘fast food’ world. Thankfully, these techniques originating from the time of Titian will go on through time for many centuries to come. Available also at the site are Premium Quality DVD products to help you obtain thrilling results for your own painting. Foremost of these is the Fine Art Techniques DVD, which gives you the tools you’ll need to create masterpiece paintings. We hope you enjoy our time lapse film of this painting, and look forward to having you as satisfied painters through our products at artbytv.com. Distributors welcome.

    Well, despite the mean-natured comment below, (konzwambi – just because something isn’t to your taste doesn’t make it “bad”. You need to read some art theory to give depth to superficial judgements.), I found this very useful. The layering of complementary colours was interesting. Is that to give vibrant spots between the more naturalistic areas? We could have done with more close-ups. Thanks anyway – I learned something and it was generous of Philip Craig to share his techniques.

    Dear dreaminglygrounded, by adding layers of paint we allow all the different advanced techniques to combine together, this creates effects not possible any other way, and it’s actually also much easier.  On this one, I had a rough idea of the end image, as it was all filmed and had to be done within production time-frames, but it’s not necessary in your own work, and, once you’re familiar with the techniques and their combinations, it then is just up to your feelings on the day when you start.

    Dear sofarat, thanks for the questions. This is not the best forum for me to answer you, and I see you’re committed, so please feel free to contact me through the site, I’ll do my best as I can. To answer in brief: drying time is absolutely the downside to advanced technique in oils, large canvases are the same as small, do a dozen paintings at once and soon enough one will be ready to work on each day. Remember too: these works last 500 years. Early stages done with knife & brush. Good luck

    Robert, how long did this painting take? Im painting the seascape tutorial on your site but absolutely hate having to wait for it to dry before each next application… Does a larger canvas give you more workable real-estate while other areas such as the thicker palette knifed areas are drying? Also were the creamy yellows that went on in the early stages all done with the knife? I owe a debt to you for lighting my fire and will purchase the DVD’s as soon as I can afford them.. Thanks for the i

    Glorious…I want to dive in…..!!! Is there a reason why you kept on adding layers and layers of paint,…was it because the painting was unfolding? Did you have the picture in your mind before you began? Do you cook??!! Lol!!
