Hullo Alain, thank you for sharing this video and so much good information for getting just the right balance in creating wonderful imagery and truly lovely hair! I know that anyone wishing to advance their portrait skills will benefit from your portrait classes! I have certainly enjoyed watching you work.

Please take care, be safe and enjoy the rest of your day!

[@KathyLeeParker]

Thank you for this video. I struggle with hair and tend to push too much detail.

[@AlainPicard]

Glad this helps, you can do it! Focus on the big shapes first!

[@barbarascott1774]

Thank you so much for this tutorial and all the brilliant Do’s. ( would love to see you do white dog’s hair) thanks again for sharing your talent with us

[@AlainPicard]

Ahhh, white dog's hair. It's very fun, yet white is always a challenge if you don't have good shadows. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@subhasishdhar5184]

Great information sir🙏

[@AlainPicard]

You're welcome Subhasish!

[@FRAN2639]

Thank you!!

[@AlainPicard]

You're welcome, keep painting!

[@KK-so2fg]

Lovely! thanks so much Alain. Your portrait unlike the photo is not centralised which I prefer. Do you have any videos about composition, as I find this one of the hardest things to work out, and I can end up disappointed about my art work simply because of the composition not feeling quite right? Your videos are a pleasure to follow :-)

[@AlainPicard]

Thanks for the request about composition, such an important theme that deserves attention. I cover this in my Painterly Portrait course, did you get on the waiting list? In the meantime, I have one lesson on designing with shapes here on KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGHbgqZ_eb55bqM check it out!

[@gunterblas1158]

hello alain very beautiful video More please wish andrea and gunter

[@AlainPicard]

glad you liked the tips Gunter!

[@dawnafreeman9069]

Thank you. I have found it difficult to get white blonde hair looking natural. This could help.

[@AlainPicard]

Totally understand, be sure to have the shadow values correctly massed in Dawna! You can do this!
