hi .the video is very interesting,but the video i downloaded is not playing till the end…i see a message”Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file ” and it stops playing where matt says “the brush i am using here is incredibly small…overlapping some of the shadowed area(stops at this place)”
please help
Hi Sumita,
I would suggest using a different player to play the video. You could try the VLC player which is free to download…http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html
Thanks.. I tried that but the problem persists..it stops at the same point.I am facing the same issue with the lesson “GLAZING PART 2” and “The Pen and Ink Experience – Mixing Methods-SD.mp4{stops at 4:27 min)”
Plus the following videos are not opening either with VLC or windows media player or quick time player(the 3 s/w i have)
1.The Pen and Ink Experience – Ink Wash
2.Portrait Drawing The Smart Way – The Eye – Frontal View-SD
so what do i do next
regards
sumita
Hi Sumita,
Thanks for that. I checked into a couple of the videos that you listed (Ink Wash and Mixing Methods) and I was able to play them completely with QuickTime. It’s possible that the files became corrupted when you downloaded them. You may try giving the downloads another shot.
Words almost fail me! This lesson is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen. Meticulous in detail, so easy to understand. Can’t wait to have a go. Since here in Portugal it is now 01.15 on Wednesday April 19th, perhaps I should catch up on some sleep first!
I shall send in my effort for your comments in due course. Thank you Matt.
Regards, Mary Bentley
We are now on British Summer Time, so it really IS 01.22!
Hi Matt
It was indeed very beautifully crafted teaching! Thanks for this simple and fabulous teachings methods.
YOU ARE PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST INSTRUCTORS, SO CLEAN, PRECISE AND ARTICULATE
EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND HAVE WELL PLANNED THE PROGRESSION OF THE PROCESS OF UNDERSTANDING NOT ONLY HOW TO DRAW BUT ALL MEDIUM APPROACHES
YOU ARE FABULOUS
Wow, Thanks Ann!
Learning a lot here. Please continue to develop lessons, would love to see a mountain range in acrylics. I still have issues with getting the textures right.
I vote for a mountain range also! Please!
The problem is, I’ve fallen in love with my under painting and I’m not sure I want to glaze it.
What to do, what to do.
Hi Matt. I know this is probably a really old video, but I’m wondering about the consistency of the underpainting paint. Have you thinned it down any? Straight from the tube? Could you point to a video that might address what to consider when choosing the consistency of the paint for an underpainting? (The video library is huge.) Thanks for some great instruction!
