Bust Painting in Oils - Painting Figures Faces

[@SmallSoldier]

It's like I'm getting a master class in my own style... but with a cooler accent and better hands!😀 You keep getting better with each piece and I sincerely mean that. It's all about the layers and building those tones on top of one another and you've achieved great success! I noticed you bought some of the Princeton Filbert brushes... they're the bomb for blending oils. I appreciate your fondness for my work and am flattered that you want to emulate how I paint figures. Keep up the great work! I look forward to each video/post you make... I'm a fan! Well, it's now time to get busy editing my next video... are you using Power Director as well? Cheers.

Thank you very much, I am really blown away to hear you are a fan of me😲 and my accent😉 really happy to hear you like my work, obviously that's somehow the ultimate goal to achieve with painting a bust. I bought the Filbert brush when I started my first bust, with a lot things I saw in your videos like the same paints, so I can't say it's the fault of my material.😂 The Princeton brushes are one of the best I ever used, no matter the shape or sizes. And I really felt that I learned a lot stuff again while working at this piece. Looking forward already to the next face. Yes I use Powerdirector, a great easy to use program, never let me down. Now I am really looking forward to your video and your approach to acrylic figure painting 👍😊

Those Princeton Velvet Touch brushes are under rated. I also use those filberts for blending OPR on my armor.

Awesome work! Plan on referring to this set of videos often when making my next bust.

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Thanks a lot, happy to hear my videos are helpful 👍

[@CWModelling]

Stunning 👍

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Thank you mate🙏😊

[@evanaugust2682]

Great video. I've struggled with acrylics for years. Thinking that I need to give oils a shot.

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Thank you. Yes why not. For me it's easier blending oils and achieve a smoother transition, maybe give it a try. It's great fun.

[@ScrubbersGhost]

One of the best teaching videos I have come across. From leeching the oils on cardboard to brush movements for the actual blending process. Amazing work

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Thank you very much, happy to hear you like my video and it was helpful 🤗

Brilliant work. The helmet , too is a work of art. I have to learn to take my time, be patient, as you clearly do and are. And your narration was great. Thanks

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Thank you very much, really happy you like my work and my type of narration, which is not always easy for me as a not native speaker😅 so really happy to hear. Yes patience is important but sometimes hard to achieve, but especially using oil paints you need to take your time.

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Thank you very much, happy to hear you like my work and especially oil painting. A rather rare part of this hobby, but very joyful. I will continue using oil paints, but as there are other fun parts of this hobby, it will not be the only topic here. Thank you for watching 🙏

In this genuinely inspiring series you combined real artistry with such careful attention to detail, all of your layers of refinement of the skin were absolutely worthwhile to produce such a beautiful rendering and such realism to the eye. In the process you really demonstrated the value and possibilities of oil paints. The finished work is remarkable to enjoy looking at, but watching how you painted it was an absolute inspiring joy and I thank you for that friend. (In addition to your painting talent the videos were very well made too, and that's a quality work all of it's own)

Skin color for me is one of the hardest colors to get right. Thanks for the video.

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

You're welcome. Skin tones are tough yes, but they also have a lot variation as almost every human is slightly different. So there is almost no wrong or right 👌 good luck

i just came across this video and it's great to watch. and I have no idea if you will see this comment, but I was wondering around 7:40 when you are applying the very thin filter, are you really using mineral spirits as thinner there and if so how is it not lifting or removing the previous layers of oil paint? I'm wondering if it's an oil medium but would love to find out. thank you so much for sharing this work!

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Hello and thank you for your kind words. Yes I use odourless thinner for thinning the paint and for this filter too. I guess white spirit would work too. It's important to let the previous layer fully dry before applying the next one, so it doesn't get reactivated. Then it's no problem to work with thinner over painted areas. You can also use Liquin as a thinning medium, but that drys out glossy, so thinner is my choice here👌

[@IanPotts-lv6os]

Hi have you seen the nuts planet figure of the William Dafoe character in platoon I might start this one next

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

[@PhatYeti]

beautiful video! I am new to oils but why did you dry it out on cardboard at start?

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Thank you, happy to hear😊 there is oil in the paints to keep them more liquid so to say, and you want to get the oil out of the paints because when they dry after painting the oil would cause a glossy shine. When dried out on cardboard, they dry out matt. But some paints like some green tones can still dry out a bit glossy, so thinning them with thinner can help here too to reduce the gloss.

[@PhatYeti]

@@biberhunter_scale_models ohhh ok so you only did this because you didn't want the face glossy that makes sense. Is that correct?

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

@@PhatYeti yes exactly. On a face it's maybe not that bad because skin can have a glossy look, but on the helmet and uniform you definitely want a matt finish.

[@PhatYeti]

@@biberhunter_scale_models ohh gotchya that makes so much more sense haha thanks so much! Do you mainly paint scale military models, any wahammer?

Ciao scusa se disturbo avrei una domanda spero tu possa rispondermi. Quando finisci di dipingere con colori ad olio che tipo di vernice protettiva usi? Se la usi Grazie E complimenti per i tuoi lavori sono magnifici

[@biberhunter_scale_models]

Guten Morgen. Ich benutze nur nach dem Vorschattieren mit Acrylfarben eine Schicht Mattlack von AK Interactive ultra matt varnish. Danach wenn ich mit Ölfarben male benutze ich keinen Klarlack mehr. Vielen Dank, freut mich das ihnen meine Arbeit gefällt.
