How I Paint my Portraits Loose yet Accurate

[@danielsutton2290]

Finally an artist who knows the benefit of holding your pet while creating. I’ve been doing the same thing with my 9 foot reticulated python-anaconda mix named Squeezer for several years now. Can use him as a strait edge as well.

[@stormcorrosion176]

Weird

[@lenalomonaco2727]

hahah that’s awesome!!!

[@chichi_DRW]

Anaconda 💀

[@angoosearts2084]

You’re so underrated but so amazing!!!! Your channel is 100% gonna blow up soon! Love the vids!!!

[@paintcoach]

Thank you so much!!

[@reignleonardo1217]

A trick : watch series on Flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies these days.

[@chaimricardo4267]

@Reign Leonardo definitely, I have been using flixzone} for years myself :D

"Give yourself the freedom to mess up..."...magical statement from you...you truly are my hero lol😍

[@berniserodriguez6287]

So happy I found this! Perfect timing. I’m going to paint my first portrait... of a person. Lol. Bruce lee! This totally helped. Thank you!!

[@Leabruh]

How did it go?

[@Ates187]

Really good. Got his expression down

[@beeARTcanada]

You are a really good teacher. Thanks. Your landscaping pleine air work is terrific. The black t-shirts you sell need big colourful brush strokes on them!

[@phillipash8258]

Love the levels of concentration as you cradle the pupper!

[@lardo444]

thanks again coach. you really are the best.

[@maureennecleirigh6002]

Thank you for your videos. On this occasion I was able to focus on tour face and watch the shadow play on the right hand (My left) side of your face.. I focused so well that I had to replay to hear whet you said. A little fast for me at 84 post heart failure and video but you have helped me immensely having decided to do a commission in oils, my first post heart trauma. Biggest problems sitting painting flat and it looks ok until seen from from vertical. Need to support my hand whilst using table easel Thank you so much for helping me have the confidence to do this. Scary, but so rewarding. Wish I was like Daniie (next comment) and yourself and had someone to help me along. But Usually animals and now this long dead trying to rescue his mates Miner has stopped off to encourage me along the way.

[@patrickwelch3274]

Thank you . You are a great coach. I have painted maybe a thousand live models. I have had some of the best artists in the country as teachers. Most could not communicate or teach they could show. i would be a much better artist , a lot long ago , if you were there.

[@patrickwelch3274]

Sorry one more thought. Painting loose- My eye Doctor used to review paintings. She would say to me you need to paint loose. When you paint loosely your paintings are much better. More interesting ,etc etc

[@paintcoach]

Thanks! I'm glad the videos are helping! If you ever have any questions let me know

[@tudorvafe9214]

Been following over a year!!! huge fan of yours.

[@paintcoach]

Thanks for the support!

[@neu-ter]

Thank you so so so so much for your help!!!!

[@roachthekid273]

Your portraits are really nice dude. I started painting landscapes but this is a great video for anyone who wants to start with portraits one day . Thanks for your time and effort making this video

[@nightynightshade]

You are amazing and you just got another subscriber! 🔥

[@mogalcat3091]

I've always had a prejudice toward people with backward baseball caps. Seems I have to change my mind about that now. I love your videos ;)

[@paintcoach]

hahaha its mainly to keep my hair out of my face.

[@abdainawi]

One point.. Is the keep the tones closer. Avoiding sudden transitions.. & let the layers play the role

[@eleftheriageorgiadouart7156]

You are very talented and clever artist!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!! Can I told me how to analyse the photo to colours?

[@agiusbennett]

Love you poodle doggy! That was a cute caption.

[@ubimelibiapes333]

And most important of all: always - always!! paint with a white poodle on your arm. ... just messing with you, couldn’t resist 😁 Good video, very good advice 🙏🏻

[@brennerfineart]

Loose but accurate - that`s more difficult than "tight" and accurate ;-) But you are able to do so - thumbs up :-)

[@paintcoach]

Thanks 👍

[@Yahsbsuq]

Agreed. There are a lot of videos out there on how to use grids and a whole mathematical approach to painting basically a photograph. But the reason I love looking at a painting is because it adds a whole new dimension to the subject that can't be captured otherwise. This style definitely does that for me.

[@kyledunn7941]

i love your videos, would you ever do a video on acrylic paints. i have been following you for a long time and im just wondering if i can still apply these principles with acrylic as u do with oil.

[@dalehallmark9174]

Fun video, Thanks! Off topic...A subject I would like to see in Paint Talk is about avoiding (maybe) painting cliché's. Like oh look I painted a nice redbird! Or at least how to approach such subjects and scenes that have been done a bazillion times with a fresh or different view. I like many cliché paintings but not actually satisfied doing another "ho hum, isn't that nice"

[@peckerdecker]

GREAT artwork. Gotta ask.... Your views on *using photos as reference material for a drawing* ? Or _is it better to have a 3D OBJECT_ / draw from real Life situ? Cheers

[@Lee-lx3bw]

Wow that is incredible

[@hrstackhouse]

I absolutely LOVE your videos and am a subscriber.. but I cant get over this ONE thing 😂... "Drawling" "Drawl". There's no "L", but that is my only critique!

[@heatherhuggins5888]

It’s a regional accent.

[@TheInevitableSloth]

Only helpful oil painting Channel

[@paintcoach]

Glad you think so!

[@lynjoyce7039]

Fabulous tips on painting loose! Good job. Thank you.

[@paintcoach]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kavitabhandariarts205]

Very nice

[@claires9100]

3:25 Always paint with a lil buddy.

[@mango6345]

anyone know an app that has a filter similar to the dry brush filter from photoshop? 3:40

[@lukamm5010]

This helped so much!!! Like it really did, he was spittin fax ❌🧢. Guys if you just clicked on and are reading through comments please pay attention!!!!!!!! He’s a god....

[@scootmcgoot570]

This might as well be magic

[@nsuarez]

The secret for a accuracy is to draw with the paint. Make sure every brush stroke is thoughtful and loose but imagine it before laying it out.

[@amandawalker33]

You're awesome!!

[@jessicathayer3151]

i want to buy the collage paintings of nick cage... are you selling?

[@painterlybrushes4035]

Painting with my non dominant hand helps me get looser looking paintings

[@paintcoach]

That's a very good exercise!

[@nightynightshade]

DUDE WHAT A GOOD IDEA! 😱 I have a bad habit of overthinking and over detailing my work

[@jesusbapt]

Nice mixture of Nicholas Cage and Alex Jones. No jokes, Thanks for your tutorials. Helps a lot.

[@peterwillems8721]

Very, very helpfull coach, thank you ... now, let the trainings begin: BANZAI ! (Note: if I painted while holding a nice white poodle, it would soon be véry colourful. So, better not buy one ...)

[@iamasoldierofgodkingofking1244]

God bless you and your gift in Jesus name Amen. Thank you for sharing your experience it's helpful and I appreciate your time and work.

[@austexstef]

hahahaha your pup.. so cute lol

[@mediocreshakespeare9354]

Who knew a painting video would remind me that I can a Nicolas cage mask.

[@Evita1]
