I would definitely be interested in your thoughts on how to do the nouveau border curl designs.

From one artist to another, I really enjoyed this video and I think your painting came out great! Thank you!

I am a mom who does art for fun. Because of the demands of my day job, I usually work from coloring books and just bought a set of lord of the rings books that seem to be drawn in the art nouveau style, on a blank white background. And I thought I could easily embellish the pages with this style. Thanks for the tutorial. I bought some gesso and will be experimenting. 😊

My FAVE artist is Mucha and you are amazing! I am so inspired to do some projects this year!

Very nice. Your painting turned out really great using oils. Not easy. Can I ask how long it took. I used to love using oils but the wait between drying time just dragged things out. S there a drying agent you use? Your line work and fine detail using oils was especially impressive. A big fan of Mucha. As a graphic designer I feel he was the first to really transition from fine art to design

I'd say that the colors are more a light pastel than dull. Dull sounds a little bit too harsh. I like this picture. Thanks for giving us these tips. I also might have done oil painting and would have had some trouble with that because I'd be too impatient to wait for it to dry.

Thank you for articulating what makes Mucha Mucha (or even what makes much of Art Nouveau). Hope to try this in the not too distant ... but so much to draw and paint, so little time.

I love the video and it's helping a lot! But I can't get over "Mooka"

[TracyTheRed]

I am doing this. Thank you so much for the tips. Mucha is my favorite artist, so this is my jam.

Omg i'm jealous of the way you draw fabric! It looks so good

[crystalheart]

Thanks so much for this! I love Mucha style art and being an artist myself I could not figure out how he achieved the flat paint and beautiful outlines and curls in his paintings.

[jlouden]

Yes, please do a video on the curves. I enjoyed your energy in the video

[ignacioferres]

Not an artist here, just an art nouveau aficionado. Just to point out that you and your dress would be a fantastic Mucha model. I don't know if it was on pourpose, but kind of match the art nouveau aesthetics :P Thanks for the tutorial!

[oscarjimenezgomez]

You are like one of the woman that apear in Mucha painting.
Thank for the video, i like to paint like Mucha

[KelseyRodriguez]

Fantastic video! One of the best videos on YouTube for applying art nouveau concepts I’ve seen! Super informative and loved the timelapse footage!

[rongray]

Great video. I'm going to give a Mucha style painting a try after this.
