Greaaaat work!! love that ink sketch at the beginning. im trying to figure what media was used? ink gouache? but a sometimes i see some thick layers like at 3:09 the yellow blotch under the chin…then i thought it was oil. Any idea?
Great stuff though!

Hi Guys! Glad you all like this brilliant piece, Rick is a very cool artist and it’s great to hear such nice feedback. He gave me a breakdown of what he used when we shot this , here ’tis! L.
“Permanent ink, bamboo quill, acrylic and gouache on watercolor paper…I
thinks that’s all. I’m kind of a everything-and-the-kitchen-sink kinda guy!”

Thanks Lily!
As for the color I used acrylic and then white gouache at the end. Thanks for the comments, everyone. I’m lookin forward to the next session.

Your palette and shape-masses, and the gouache overlay give this piece a very Egon Schiele-like appearance. I really enjoyed watching it come together.

I love it. The ending is always unpredictable, you never know what the artist is about to sketch. It is my opinion that the paint would have been much better without the white backgroung.

Absolutely wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for anything better to watch before I fell asleep.
