BETTER color in your PORTRAIT PAINTINGS! (oil painting demo)

[@AlyssaAleksanian]

Scott- you are the most generous artist on the net. Love the humour, love the advice, love the everything. Thank you

[@DorryRice-yn9ez]

I love watching your portrait painting. It makes the “form” tutorial come alive. Tonal compression makes sense when I can see the gradations live.

[@AquariusExtract]

16:00 that magic with such a simple touch! Thank you for real time explanation videos, so helpful!

[@jimmiesutton8468]

This man is a teacher! Will follow closed! Thank for a teacher that shows and not just talk a good game!

[@Big2bees]

Thank you for being so generous in sharing your knowledge. You're one of the very few artist who give detailed explanation while doing demo. I've learned a lot about color in portraiture. More power to you!

[@marylyons1444]

Fabulous!! So talented!! (and entertaining too!☺️👏) Your descriptions are also wonderful. Thanks again for the demonstration.

[@sukilu1964]

Consistently great channel, always producing and sharing super quality, informative and instructional vids. Much appreciated.

[@tomhighsmith]

Thanks, very good information.I like your 'dynamic' use of words to try to explain it as best as possible to the viewer.

[@ThurmanArt]

You are currently my favourite artist, I am watching all your videos and learning your process ❤️❤️❤️

[@vmangani]

I had to step in here. You are an accomplished artist. You could have told that fellow artist where to go. Most of us are light years away from what you can accomplish.

[@debburge6694]

OMG! Your tips have worked for me and thank you so much. Love your painting by the way 🙂.

[@stephenodey5147]

Excellent

[@dtrevan]

Well done Randy! ❤

[@lewicron]

Not really apropos of the video's subject, but I find it really useful and interesting to see how and where you have simplified/idealised the forms. Bravo!

[@rahanme7906]

Thats a masterclass thank u so much❤u dont know how much u helped me

[@nikkiswenson54]

Good teaching from a master Artist!

[@Musicmansteve]

Love your artwork : so talented. Also, I love your dry sense of humour . Scott, why have you chosen the colours you use in your palette for your portraits? I notice you have no warmer reds or any blue. Thanks for all your help and advice. 👍

[@prichardgs]

You have really helped me in my practice-thank you!

[@harshadk4264]

Amazing!

[@ytmm11]

so useful. Scott is truly great.

Soooooo talented person!!

Another enjoyable video, Scott. Thanks and keep them coming!

[@ahmetcancakmak8098]

Thank you for your good explanation, you're a very good teacher. I look forward to see your new videos!

[@borregodanet]

Thank you!!

[@lefthandstory1280]

Beautiful , nice sharing friend❤️❤️✌️

[@tencarver9101]

Had to pause at 2:36 because of the realization that I have a really long way to go 😓 also, thanks for this video 😎

[@fayee8986]

I would think no better than I can see with or without my glasses. I'd have to have a magnifying glass to examine these detail colors all alive model. Which wouldn't work for me at all. LOL how on Earth do you do it? Just beautiful work!

[@acilegnab]

Fantastic and well explained! 👏🏼

[@patriciamartinezg]

Thank you! You explain everything really good

[@petergooding784]

Great video, fab explanations - thank you. I have been struggling with this exact issue so your video has helped me greatly. Cheers

[@StanleyKowalski.]

buy his book, and support him i did because i learned and improved my style with his helpful videos thanks Scott

[@crystalleach4785]

So good! Hope you’re doing well! These videos are awesome (as per usual!) :)

[@THEOTIVITY]

So helpful! Thanks Scott for these sorts of tutorials. Definitely gives me some ideas on how to progress in my oil painting. I’m curious - have you ever experimented with using a CMYK pallette for portraits? I’ve recently been experimenting with using primary cyan, lemon yellow, and primary magenta to see how wide of a chroma I could mix through that combination of a limited pallette and been quite surprised... however, haven’t yet tried it for a portrait.

[@jorriffhdhtrsegg]

Didn't find cmyk useful. There is a reason why red, blue,yellow are paint primaries is how paint mixes not necessarily physics and biology....its chemistry of pigment. (That said Y+M is a nice red but do i really want the high chromat magenta? Does magenta even get that high in paint? Isn't it expensive? Its not even a spectral colour with a wavemength Etc! CMYK is a good way to LIMIT chroma. Unless you use printer ink glazes. Mixing lines ARE NOT STRAIGH on a colour wheel.

[@cristinafernandez2169]

You are the maestro

Excellent video. I’m going to subscribe. ❤️ Shirley

[@susanthomas8732]

What brushes do you use?

[@mariamosnaya5341]

Love your videos! I wonder, why you don't have a blue (ultramarine) color on your pallet? How do you get bluish/violet tones?

[@TheNopeDude]

Are u painting with just a single brush?

[@simonhiggins3723]

Excellent work. Truly a Master. But why don't we EVER see talented artists worry about there palette drying? Their mixing is very thin. Mine would dry in 30 secs tops.

[@henrydegroff4282]

You using acrylics? 😂

[@jrcanimation]

Master

[@peg7929]

Scott, what colors did you use to mix your "base" flesh tone?

[@wendyroseartist2178]

Yes to the question about mannequin paintings. Grrrr

[@fayee8986]

To answer your question no I have not my victims look dead LOL as the color blue. I was trying a glaze technique I said trying. LOL of course I had to redo the painting, with little more success the second time.

[@jimmylagouache8388]

Belle vidéo, dommage que l'on a pas accès aux sous titres, merci !

[@Spookyboi1893]

HAHA I once had a critique where I was told the person I painted looked like a victim of assault. Very blushed cheeks and dark shadows in the eyes.

[@harshadk4264]

19:26 is not grey in the reference..but it is in the painting..

[@myalicioglu]

İ LOVE this video

[@To-be-or-not-to-be-]

do you often use photos for your portrait paintings?.

[@chandranichakraborty709]

super ❤❤❤😘😘😘😘

[@Engelhafen]

I think we have the same hat 😁

[@rosanna245]

You are the best, but please there is no translation option..!!

[@eishazulfiqar3412]

For some reason my oil painting always shows the brush strokes no matter how thick or thin i keep my paint, why does that happen? I cant achieve that soft and blended look

[@DrWhom]

try a more delicate touch. use an almost dry brush to blend in truth, blending is a bit kitsch-y in fact, you can achieve a highly naturalistic look without any blending - see tips on channel Draw Mix Paint

[@StrawberryLegacy]

What kind of canvas are you using? A painting on a rough canvas will never look as "soft" as one on a fine textured one.

[@gianfrancovagliati7185]

I love you art! please subtitulos in spanish !!

[@jaykishanart6630]

Best

[@ayeyuh6920]

"looked like they were wearing clown make-up" damn.. that's tough lmao. I can't lie though, those kinds of criticisms are what I miss about critiques.

[@MegaCityPatrol]

Yeah, social media is all about telling people how awesome they are 🙄 Very difficult to give or receive real criticism

[@fritzmasten7675]

Your subject's skin has a ragged texture. Can you discuss why you choose to give your subjects highly smoothed out low texture skin?

[@redangrybird7564]

That's his style and I think he doesn't realise that his portraits are so smoothed that look like plastic masks. He mentions at the beginning of the video that he has received that same criticism but continues to paint that way. Go figure.

[@fritzmasten7675]

@@redangrybird7564 the work is both impressive and lifeless. Reminds me a lot of late Ingres when he began doing devotional subjects and it became kitch.

[@DrWhom]

@@redangrybird7564 I agree about the kitschiness but it is a style that sells well. He does it quite well and I hope he makes a decent living out of it, whether we like the style or not.

[@DrWhom]

@@fritzmasten7675 Yes, see also the work by Carel Willink

[@redangrybird7564]

@@DrWhom when I started to paint portraits the first advice I read was that the painter should paint the jewelry much larger, the face and body less fat and the skin less wrinkled. So perhaps having a very smooth skin in the painting pleases many older ladies whose prime years are long gone. Nobody likes a portrait that looks like a driver's licence picture, though we know we look exactly like that. Cheers.

[@Engelhafen]

I’m kinda surprised you use black - what about colors?

what lizard?

[@lawrence3521]

Why don't you make a video from the beginning of the drawing to the end of the painting step by step. The videos are always short and I don't understand anything....

[@Thesamurai1999]

That would be a video that could last up to 30 or 40 hours. It’s not good for the algorithm as it’ll turn a lot of people off.

[@lawrence3521]

@@Thesamurai1999 It can be published in several parts, not all at once

[@salrunfola4739]

Do you think that you can get your videos shortened to the average attention span of an average viewer? Like less than 5 -10 minutes? And a little, not much, less talking? Otherwise, you're fantastic!
