Oil Pastel Portrait | Draw With Me✍️ 4K art process

[@abibaz22]

I don’t usually write comments like this however I feel that it is necessary to tell you how grateful I am to you and your art. As a young artist, I have a habit of comparing myself to others and getting disheartened and lacking motivation. I only recently discovered your channel and find it very inspiring and motivational. I have felt quite put off on drawing recently and your channel has inspired me to start again. I hope to, one day, be as incredible an artist as you and I just wanted to thank you for, well, being my role model (sorry if that seems a bit weird). Love the channel and hope that you continue creating amazing art.

[@MisakoFlodin]

I almost tear up reading this, thank you so much for commenting here. I get overwhelmed by painting art sometimes, so I always try to share something calming and relaxing🥰 it's so important to take time to create something that you truly love💌

[@Saba15-t9d]

Such a lovely feedback to the artist! Keep learning, keep being inspired, you can do this. Greetings from Norway.

[@danthomas6587]

Artists don't paint because they can. They paint because they have to.

[@EMMYK1916]

Greetings from Ireland everyone, in relation to your statement I agree, and think every artist or budding artist goes through this. Through our quest for "perfection", we are learning & creating so it's a win win. If we pay attention I believe, and try listening to the best, we can then hone our craft to whatever we wish. Good luck with your artistry, I too am returning to pencil. Wish me luck, and of course thank you Misako for sharing and reigniting my love of art. 😉

[@abibaz22]

This community is so kind and heartwarming. I am glad that I found it and I thank everyone for their nice replies. Thank you

[@Judith12T]

It’s so crazy to me how you started with these unnatural colors and in the end they ended up blending perfectly into a natural skin tone what is this sorcery! You’re so good at blending and picking the right colors!

[@necipdemirbuga7024]

tbh if your values are correct you can literally get away with anything

[@biazacha]

Skin is translucent, so it naturally shows glimpses of the flesh, nerves and blood underneath, we just don’t think about it. What she did was set all the color that is hidden before bringing the “skin” onto it and that’s why it looks so vivid.

[@ron8090]

@@biazacha THIS IS SO A GOOD ANALYSIS

[@someonerandom5210]

@@necipdemirbuga7024 agreed

[@itsgonnabeanaurfromme]

@@biazacha true but those colors arent deep purple or forest green so it still took a lot of thought and planning. Also nerves aren't visible and dont have colors under skin.

[@guyfawkes4935]

I tried to use the oil pastels, but did not get a result so absurdly fantastic as you, I imagine how long you trained and trained to achieve this perfection, I love your paintings you are amazing.

[@kunokoaeri3505]

​@CozyKode a good quality makes the difference for sure. But ur pastels r a great way to try things that you wouldn't try with an expensive one

[@danlewis7707]

It would appear that your approach was to begin with an underpainting of cooler colors to reflect the cooler tones buried in skin then you slowly built up to warmer colors and highlights in order to denote the flow of blood, and suggest the illusion of youthful light in the face of your young man. I would also surmise you were inspired to take an impressionistic approach to your mark making so that the final piece had contrasting beautiful "brush strokes" like with Renoir and Van Gough. Especially below the left eye and in the area near the cheekbone. I was absolutely rapt throughout. Stunningly beautiful and a lovely ode to the world of the great masters. Thank you so much for sharing it. 😁

[@tarsilaguimaraes]

I'm over 40 years old and this is the first time I've seen how a painting is made with this technique. At first I thought, astonished, "everything is going to go wrong". After I saw layer by layer being put on, the tears started to fall. Is it normal to cry over something like this? Despite my name being in honor of a famous Brazilian painter, I didn't inherit the talent, but the art of painting moves me as few things in the world are capable of doing. Thanks so much for the video. I subscribed and will come back more often to see your exhibitions

[@Hermionee-Jean-Granger]

Crazy how many layers you can add! This really is a “trust the process” situation 👄👌

[@theaveragechemist8464]

Hello Misako! Can you share with us some of your old art from back when you were still in the beginning stages of learning? Honestly, after observing all of the great artists at work we need some motivation 😢.

[@MisakoFlodin]

Of course! I'll do that in the future👍

[@Vishnu__Art_luca]

[@hayleypbop6997]

I love watching you lay down colours and to think they can’t possibly be correct for the subject and then to be proven absolutely wrong.

[@sqjmkyswpgfzv]

こういう動画って観てると気持ちよくなっていつもは寝ちゃうのに、この動画だと顔に深緑とか紫とか入れて、サムネみたいな透明感のある肌にどうやってなるんだろうって気になって29分間じっと観てた…。何気に初めてかもしれない。 目が生きてるみたいで凄かった。美しい。 凄く素敵で、何かコメントを残してみたくなったけど、語彙力なくてうまく言えなくてもどかしい。

[@laurenagnes8435]

Beautiful. The video as a whole is a work of art. Therapeutic for my soul.

[@MisakoFlodin]

Glad you enjoyed it❤️

[@kyla1080]

I used to think oil pastels can't make beautiful art because its hard to control and its messy but this just changed and blew my mind. Your oil pastels process videos are amazing (everything is amazing honestly). Thank you for sharing them with us, I never really saw any artist make beautiful art with oil pastels. I'm curious on how you picked this medium and studied it because it is not usually popular with artists but you made amazing art with it. And at first glance I thought you were using oil painting. Thank you once again ^^

[@Avi-sr7tj]

Misako, if you had an online masterclass, I would definitely pay for it. I would really love to learn from someone who has gained such mastery over the years. As a young artist, you inspire me and I look forward to all of your videos everyday. Thank you for doing what you do

[@larakeziahmangilit8736]

This portrait looks incredible and the craziest part is he looks exactly like my uncle (saw his younger photo)

[@milipede678]

did i rlly just watch a 30 minutes vid of a person making a masterpiece? yes did i felt sleepy? yes its so calming bro

[@parttimeprojects1293]

I’ll say it again…… Absolute Masterclass. I really hope people who are interested in getting into oil pastel get to see these videos. Fabulous.

[@anushkaverma2203]

You posted this at the exact moment it turned 12 am in my country haha i love that

[@MisakoFlodin]

Omg happy birthday!! 🥺💓 hope you're day is going to be amazing☺️

[@Alexcutspie]

I love it when I see an artist use unsuspecting colours

[@qamarasghar4875]

I don't know why I'm feeling so enchanted while watching this, having tears in my eyes. To me what makes a human, human is his ability to distinguish between beauty and crudeness. All the art, literature, the man-made beauty comes from this extraordinarily simple trait. A true artist is the epitome of humanity. Not an artist, but loved this piece. The music in the background makes it mesmerizing. How lucky would be the person having this genuine piece of art.

[@loganswrld2622]

Found this channel a couple days ago, now every morning I drink my coffee and watch your videos 🫶

[@carylpark7192]

I have never worked in pastels and its fascinating to watch how you blend the colours together and not get dirty colours. The detail also when the pastels are quite chunky to work with. Thank you for sharing it was educational.

[@delonat]

Wow those brief clips with the sound on while you drew with the oil pastels were so satisfying. I could listen to that for hours.

[@MisakoFlodin]

I'm glad you enjoyed it☺️✨

[@delonat]

@@MisakoFlodin just thought I’d let you know this video inspired me to crate one of my best rendered drawings I think I’ve ever done! You made me realise that being picky with my colours was holding me back, and I should put down whatever I wanted without fear. I’m so much closer to achieving my dream artistic style now, thank you so much!

[@sampritmodak7577]

this colour choices are crazy!! only by experimenting thousand of times one can do that.. it's just shows how much practice-just!! how much effort you put in your work, your passion towards art...it's crazy really. i have been drawing my whole life since i was three years old and i still can't draw that well, i also don't have that passion. for me it's just hobby so it's given...what i wanna say is GOOD JOB!

[@willywonka1854]

Hello from Germany, I really enjoyed this video! Beautiful portrait! What I love the most is, you show how much dedication and work goes into a portrait, in instagram reels people see 7 seconds of a "process" and have therefore no true feeling for artistic WORK. It takes days... finding inspiration, starting, correcting, searching, immersing and not giving up. Your videos show the beauty of making art and the lifestyle of an artist. Cheers from a fellow painter

[@Familylawgroup]

As a hobbyist with zero training, other than watching videos, I try to absorb as much as I can from videos like this. Thank you for sharing some of your techniques with the world and with me, in particular. I am curious how many of these techniques would work if you switched to acrylic pastels. I have some of each and I have just started playing with them and I was trying to figure out how to keep the oil pastels off of my fingers. Then, as I watched your videos, and others, I realized that the fingers are intrinsic tools for oil pastels. I just hate that it gets under my fingernails and can be a pain to clean up after. I loved how the blending worked and I know color theory is a behind the scenes element to your success. I wish you had put up some type of caption as to the color name when you switched to a color so we could try to find it, or a similar color, in our own collections. Your final product is stunning. Thank you, again, for sharing!

Thanks! This was a Masterclass of inspiration. I’ve wanted to try oil pastels but I keep hearing that they are not considered a “serious” art form. In my bones, I felt this wasn’t true. And then your painting videos have shown the lie to that erroneous statement. I feel more inspired than ever to try. I also love the way you show the passing of time as an integral part of your process. ❤️ I’ve never given to a You Tube creator before. But you have given so much to me, I felt compelled to.

I've always wanted to see a picture like this. delicate and beautiful. When I look at it, I feel like my heart becomes beautiful. You layer colors on top of each other. It's like creating a person's inner self. I also draw pictures. But my paintings are dazzling. So I was looking for a beautiful painting. A picture that expresses what I can't draw. It's a little selfish wish. I am Japanese. I have visited many museums in Japan. I see pictures on SNS every day. and, I came across your picture today. i am impressed. your picture is Amazing.
