Hi Bryan, I just keep out of the way, the energy has so many names, universal energy, the muse, God and so on... I just go with the flow and observe and keep out of the way, we all have this in us, I have spent many years searching within to uncover the essence of the feeling. Thanks for the kind words... all the very best. 🙏

[@bryanharen8212]

@@DavePortersArt make no mistake, it's God given!! Not some unknown energy, I'm an artist too and I was born with it, God given!!! I'm a realist portrait artist as well.

[@talkinpictures1903]

You are so very talented Dave and I absolutely love watching your videos 😭 When you mention in your videos about opening the heart to the picture, well I always thought it to be a magical type of experience when that happens too! It's fantastic to hear someone else explain just what I have experienced as an artist too but couldn't quite ever put into words - that is shutting off our monkey mind and channeling our heightened sense of connection/vision. Keep 'em comin'! ☺️

[@DavePortersArt]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Thrilled you love watching my videos, thank you. Wonderful that you sense the same feeling I connect to when creating work. The mind plays tricks on us for sure, from about the age of 12 years olds I have been interested on how the mind works. All the very best. 🙏

[@daveswallow8291]

Hi Dave, to this day this is my favorite skin tone tutorial. I've gone astray with some method where the face starts off looking like the incredible hulk or Kermit the frog. Not sure if that is for me, I'm only 1 year into this and with your method at least I can produce a pleasing painting. Thanks for everything- Dave

[@smolsmol1159]

Hey :) If you had to explain the process in a few steps what would they be ? From what im seeing,at first you put a few layers but its still not the actual skin tone,and then you put colors on top that look more like skin tone colors + you blend with your fingers,and then you do details ? Also,do you blend the eyes using your fingers? Like the iris and all the smaller parts? Cause i cant the color goes everywhere my fingers are too big to blend it.

[@DavePortersArt]

Hi Dave! I have a question: do you do the basic drawing with graphite or black pastel pencil? I think if it is in pastel pencil, will be easier the lines will be absorbed by the colored pastel pencil….Thanks!

Hi Loreto, I use a Carbothello 708 grey pencil on Pastelmat dark grey board. . and you are quite correct as its grey it doesn't cause the colour to muddy up and melts away. You are welcome. 🙏🙏
