Artist Insights Will Rochfort | Jackson's Art

Will Rochfort is a UK-based oil painter with a distinctive narrative style. He constructs entire sets for his paintings, an approach that he likens to building a film set. In this Artist Insights film, he discusses the impact that Americana and the Golden Age of Hollywood has had on his work, the attention to detail that goes into his sets and props, and shares his tips for artists at the beginning of their creative journey. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw Introduction https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “I always say the only thing I’ve ever been good at is drawing and painting” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “If an idea sticks around, I know it’s a good one” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “It always starts with sketches” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “I build entire sets for my paintings” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “It’s like building a film set, but for one shot only” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “Even in the busiest painting, I’m drawing you to what I want you to look at” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “If I can find, buy, or rent a prop, I’ll make it out of cardboard” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “I take a deep breath, and then I start painting” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “I have four main methods to transfer the sketch onto canvas” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “Charcoal is easy to correct and change” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “A brown or red base coat gives warmth to the skin tones” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “When it comes to the painting, it's usually fairly set in stone” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “I’m getting better at trusting the process” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “Oil paints are very forgiving” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “I use just five colours” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “I keep it simple with the mediums I use” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “I’m quite loose with the paint” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “Long flat brushes give a nice chunky brushstroke” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “I’m really excited about collaborating with Pro Arte brushes” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “I work on one section at a time” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “A painting takes anywhere between a few hours and a month” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “I’ve got better at knowing when to stop” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “My studio is my favourite place to be” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “I’m always trying to capture a narrative” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “As a storyteller, Norman Rockwell was a master” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “My love of movies is so ingrained it comes out whether I realise it or not” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “Take every opportunity that you can” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw “Make it happen” https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/71xNErg3ndw Credits Read full article on our blog: https://www.jacksonsart.com/blog/2024/08/29/artist-insights-will-rochfort/?utm_campaign=artist_insights_will_rochfort&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=organicsocial&utm_content=youtube_social_organic_video_to_blog Pro Arte x Will Rochfort Brushes will be available exclusively at Jackson's.
