There's no greater therapy for a bad or boring day than watching Artists paint stuff!

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Amazing job with so few colours. Good to watch the palette mixing going on and establishing main tone areas at the start.Thanks for sharing.

[@TheTruth-cy4le]

Captured an emotional expression that can be very elusive.

[@AlbinVega1865]

my thoughts exactly!!

[@plerner11]

Great piece. I also love the face that happened from mixing the paint on the right side ;)

[@zinlimart]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@nunu7797]

I have NEVER seen someone use a canvas for a pallete. it seems like it would be the exact OPPOSITE of a good pallete material because it absorbs so much paint

[@zinlimart]

Using the same surface is beneficial.

+peacelrose Thanks:)

[@simplycrafted13]

Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing! How do you keep your colors from getting muddy? I can't seem to blend colors without dulling them. Any tips?

[@zinlimart]

I use limited color palette to keep color simple and focus more on value.

Wonderful!

[@mkmk-tl3om]

Thank you. 👍

[@zinlimart]

You are welcome!

[@JSG-mw4qr]

Do you use several brushes or just wipe off paint with like a paper towel or something in between grabbing new colors?

[@zinlimart]

+JsgLrr5612 I used one brush for this. But normally use upto 6. A couple for light the the other couple for dark side.

[@terainkognita5622]

I knew it was Yara!!

[@kids2138]

[@Ramesh_009]

[@writedrawpaint7920]

which canvas do you use?

[@zinlimart]

+Painterly Channel Gessoed cotton canvas pad.

[@isenso1744]

Hi Zin Lim to clean your brush do you use turpentine or white spirits, and which one has a less strong odor?

[@zinlimart]

+iSenso I use linseed oil for cleaning.

[@isenso1744]

Oh didn't know about that thanks for the info, your channel is really inspiring Thanks alot Zin!

[@moisipusi1040]

Nice

[@HimeshAnand]

Make a tutorial on Painting please! >~

[@zinlimart]

+Himesh Anand Please tell me more about what you are looking for. I'll try make them with your request.

[@HimeshAnand]

ok! so my problem is!. last month i started Digital Painting!.and i started with greyscale painting but i noticed that i wasn't good at putting values! like i used to put the same values for almost every colour(skin,clothes etc).and my painting started to look muddy!..i think digital painting and traditional are almost same it's just that medium is different!..so i'll be really glad if u make a tutorial like "Basics Of Painting"..."Fundamentels"....i think i'm really bad at the fundamentals now!!.it's hard for me to choose colours which suits well! so i'll be glad if u did that in future :)

[@zinlimart]

Right, digital and traditional painting share same rule. To paint better in representational style, you should learn basic principle of DRAWING. I recommend you to study from my playlist, 'Portrait Drawing Classic' or other video lectures explain VALUE.

[@HimeshAnand]

okay thanks a lot! i'll watch all the videos today lmao! xD

[@platiniathens8066]

Υour art reminds the art of David A. Leffel. Οf course I prefer yours. But I am not sure about ''the shapes''.It is closed to be more ''great illustration'' than good painting...I think. Anyway keep up the good work. I have already subscribed and liked! :)
