Dear Artist,

 

John Singer Sargent … the great master painter of timeless portraits and elegant figures. His paintings have inspired and influenced artists for over a century. But due to limited documentation, artists have been trying for decades to understand Sargent’s techniques. 

 

Wouldn’t it be great to understand Sargent’s methods to help you become a better painter?

Artist Thomas Jefferson Kitts has been on a lifelong quest to understand how Sargent painted. Was Sargent slow and deliberate, or fast and reckless? After intense study, Kitts believes he’s found the answers artists have been searching for. We asked him to capture these techniques on video for all to discover.

Through this video, you can immerse yourself in an in-depth exploration of Sargent’s working methods. Follow along as Thomas Jefferson Kitts paints a full start-to-finish demonstration of an original painting, Up in the Old Apple Tree. Through his painting, in the style of Sargent, you’ll get a glimpse of how the master may have painted two figures in authentic period costumes.

Generations have been inspired by the beautiful paintings Sargent created with so much flair and style. Artists all over the world see his work as the standard for painting beautiful portraits. In this video, you will learn compositional tips, how Sargent painted edges, and when to use texture and when not to. You’ll experience the mastery of Sargent’s brushstrokes. See how a modern, award-winning master painter like Thomas applies Sargent’s principles to enhance his own work — something you too can achieve.

Sargent is most famous for his commanding brushwork. From early on, he demonstrated a remarkable ability to draw with a brush that inspired admiration far and wide.

Thomas Jefferson Kitts explains Sargent’s brushwork in detail, including how to lay down visible expressive marks or how to conceal them, and why. Sargent believed brushwork tells the viewer that a human being — one who has hopes, fears, thoughts, and feelings, just like yours and mine — executed the painting.

Discover why it isn’t hard to take brushwork risks — you’ll see how you can scrape off your failure and make another run at it until it works. This is a classic Sargent technique you’ll be able to incorporate into your own work right away. Making use of the forgiving nature of oils allows you to have a “do-over” so you can maintain the feeling of freshness and spontaneity.
