Such a nice tutorial! First of all thanks. 🙌 I have a query, do you soak brush with water/ any other liquid before working with colours or just use a complete dry brush?

[@Vri_ag7219]

Nice tutorial yet again 👌👌 What kind of lights do you use for painting? I often struggle with the lights in the evening. The colours turn out different. Do let me know which kind of light to buy. Thanks!

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Glad to know that you found my videos helpful 😊 Thank you so much. Try to use lights with 6000 to 8000 lumens for a small room. Fixing lights on the cilling above your art area is a good idea if you paint vertically. I use three bulbs. If you paint on table, use a ring light with 55 watts. It will be enough. Hope this will help you.

[@Vri_ag7219]

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt Thanks👍

[@Vri_ag7219]

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt Another question! How many watts are each bulb? Have you placed them in a line, next to each other on the ceiling? Are all of them cool white? This will help me a lot in having the correct lighting

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

@@Vri_ag7219 Watts doesn't matter. See how many lumens it has. Usually 20 watt LED will have 2000 lumens. So go for four bulb. 5000 - 5500k temperature is perfect for artwork studies but if not you may go for regular 6500k which are readily available. And cilling fitting is a good idea. Do not place it near your artwork. Maintain an angel of around 30° with your vertical canvas space from the light source above. Hope this will help you.

[@Sky-wj7jz]

Hello Sir. Do you mix colours on the same canvas? Because on pallete it dries out fast.. Is there anyway to prevent it?

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

I use colors on same canvas or on a separate piece of canvas vertically only to show it for my youtube videos. You can use any surface for your comfort. Just spray water to keep paint moist. Thank you so much for your comment😊🎨

[@porselvisundar5325]

Sir how to tranfer the pencil outline.directly sketch in the canvas or using carbon sheet drawing from the paper.

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Same here. But you can spray water mist on your palette to keep it moist. I do the same. Thank you for watching 😊

[@sreeramuluart]

Which brushes are you using for minute details?

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Mostly smaller nylon round brushes. Size 3, 4, 6are my favourite.

[@sreeramuluart]

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt I too using the small brushes but I am unable to mix the multiple colours at minute places. For example in miniature work I am unable to draw the eyes and small face features could you suggest me any idea.

do you just paint on the canvas or you first prime it?

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

I just start without any priming most it the time. But you can use prime for a different texture or smoothness..

Can you plz tell me, what did you use to sketch the outlines .. Coz everytime I use pencil to sketch it and after applying 1st layer of colours the sketch vanishes 😓

Underpainting random base coat kya hota he, why we do this??

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Kuch bhi painting start karne se pehle ek base coat se start karna jaruri hota hai. Ye layer upar ke sare layers ko connect rakhne me madad karta hai.

Can Fevicryl Acrylic colours also be used for realistic portraits? And is it a better idea to try acrylic portraits from the very start of using them?

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Of course, you can. But I will suggest you use professional artist-grade colors from any reputed brand. This will give you good feedback while painting. And acrylic is a very versatile medium to start with.
