David Cheifetz inspires us all in this painting instructional video by showing us how he uses a palette knife to make his paintings “glow”
David is an internationally acclaimed and collected artist who continues to push the limits of contemporary realist oil painting.
“Reflecting the language of dreams, these dark, hyperrealistic tableaux suggest bizarre and intriguing narratives. Cheifetz paints alla prima, an oil painting technique in which wet paint is applied to previous layers of wet paint. He works without detailed underpainting or studies, creating atmosphere through prominent, expressive brushstrokes and strong chiaroscuro.”

Amazing!! This is all painted with a palette knife. He mixes pigment in small batches (many chances to see how he mixes values), and with a meticulously delicate application, blends pigment on the panel. No distracting dialog, simple no-nonsense instruction for a dark tonal painting with a glowing center of interest. Video is well-produced. Still life, palette, and panel are all visible in a split screen. Sit back and try to guess what he’s going to do next. Round objects and translucence are convincing. Highlight on metal bell looks like fire. Just fabulous, what a great surprise!
