Portrait Painting Broken Down

thanks you are amazing

I watched this 3 times in a row while working on a painting.

Thanks so much man this helped me so much

Every word informative and clearly put. Precision unparalleled.

Good!!

Super helpful!

Thanks. I found this helpful as I am usually a landscape painter but have got a few portraits to do. I went to art school for 5 years and the content of this video is exactly the way we were taught, so this 12 minutes has been a great refresher for me before I start.

Excellent

Painting is like making cake.

Amazing! It s like I read one huge book about the subject! You made it in 10 mins! Thanks very much for your effort to educate us

Terima kasih pencerahannya

Thank you for the quick and concise summary.. good for people like me that just want to jump in and start..

Good stuff!! The essential information condensed and demonstrated.

This was soo well explained. Thankyou. 🙏🏼

anoither great video!

Excellent tutorial....

Hi Chris I think you are cute!!

Do I need to use oil paint for portrait paintings? Or can I use Acrylic?

Loved the video but you talk much too quickly. Slow down a bit so I can get what you are saying. Thanks

I think portraits are the most challenging as proportions need to be correct to make the subject recognisable. Although caricature artists manage to get away with distorting proportions and still having a recognisable subject.

Making a greyscale of my reference pic and also taking a pic of my painting to desaturate the colours to check tone is one of the most helpful tips in my painting journey.

It's harder to learn to see tone over colour.

i know this video is uploaded years ago but im hoping someone could help me: if you want to make a sketch with charcoal, can you do it on top of canvas thats been applied with linseed oil? because i came across a tip that you can apply linseed on canvas to make smoother outline with oil paint

Great channel. Appreciate that

Because I started late in life I never had the talent to do this so i take my portrait photos and feed them into my InDesign program, edit to enlarge or decrease to actual head size, print in b/w and use it to trace a copy on the canvas. I know that is terrible, but there are no rules in art😎

I can’t measure anything, I go by sight

This is a great video! Thanks for sharing!!!

This is possibly the most helpful video I have ever seen! Not just a painting video.

lol “their both great , just pick one “ love that !

Hi, great tutorial, however where are the links that you mention? 😊

How to you find subjects with good shadows in the image.

" i know when to stop when the painting stops annoying me ". ❤

Super🫶☺️😊

Your work is amazing and your instruction is clear and concise! Thanks for sharing your expertise!

I was looking for a paint with me with explanations, and it would have been more helpful, if you had focussed on the one portrait and showed the others in the end maybe, bc the fast forward is partially too fast for me (sorry) to see what you were actually doing - how you were laying down the paint. I'm new to this. I'm sorry.
I might not be the target group even but wanted to leave feedback. 😊

Thanks for sharing all this information. I’m new to oils and your explanation and teaching of the methods and process is wonderful.

Hi I have a question
Do you wet the canvas before painting on it to keep it moisturized, or do you just let it dry as you paint??

Can you do a step by step for using filters to highlight the shapes and values of your subject?

I have an underpainting that came out really well and was wondering if I wanted to keep it like that, but go back over it for a final layer to cover up some pencil marks, would I just do an oil out and glaze?

Every time someone does a "painting for beginners" lesson they drastically misread the level of experience and understanding a beginner has:

"Think of it as a sculpture"

Uhm, sure, but also... hoe much paint do you put on your brush? Does the paint dry between layers?

Great summary of the steps at the end. Speak a little slower to let what you say soak in. Could be bullet points.

genuinely bro, you helped me so much, thank you man

Trade teaching art? Subscribing yesterday.

thank you this was info

I've only ever done colored pencil portraits, but I wanted to surprise my boyfriend for valentines day and only had a canvas. So I'm gonna try this out!! Thank you man ❤

I’m new at portrait painting. You made quick sense of form/value/technique. I’m going to try these tips on my current painting. Thanks!

Amazing - it's like a two hour lesson condensed into 12 minutes 👏👏

Thank you, this was very helpful !
