Paint with Me | Painting from a Photo | Oil Painting Process || Dark Skin Tone

Hello everyone!!!! This video is about my oil painting process where I combine a mixture of speed painting and more of a slow down version of my painting process. A relaxing ASMR, paint with me, chill out and watch me paint type vibes. I used a combination of some acrylic paints and oil paint throughout the duration of this painting. And I am painting on an unprimed wooden panel. The texture of the wooden panel that was primed with professional Liquitex gesso and it made the surface super smooth and nice for oil painting.
Thank you so much for watching and I really hope you enjoyed the video. My painting style is a combination between photorealism and cartoon ish/ drawing style. I paint the same way, I would use color pencils. Very tight painting, not very loose.

You are truly an Amazing artist. Dark skin tones do look purplish and I think she looks perfect.

[@Ink.-]

The combination of the music and the stunning painting transported me to another world where this woman existed. I have been trying to achieve this very rich deep hue in my own art so thank you!🙌🏿 Seeing another black person who creates art of black people makes me so happy!😊

Thank you for discussing dark skin tones. I painted a picture of my "friend" who is of a darker hue and it was dark brown but not in a good way. I couldn't get it brown enough it was a chocolate mess. One day he asked me to paint his portrait again and I happened to use a purple and black mixture for his skin, it was just what I needed to use to get a better skin tone. I had taken a few classes in portraiture and the European model and skin tones were shown but never was a chocolate model or skin tones discussed. Beautiful work

[@rsvp89]

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

Just incredible! I’m a self-taught artist. I started drawing and painting in earnest maybe a year and a half ago. And I am very encouraged by people with skills far beyond my own. Your work is beautiful. I work in acrylic, charcoal, oil pastels, gouache, watercolor, colored pencils, ink, and whatever else (including digital art), but I’ve only ever done oil paint once, for a tiny landscape painting. I’m building up to a portrait in oil paint. I don’t know why I’m so scared (😅), but videos like this help me.

[@EllieMandyArt]

Wow! That’s super awesome! You’re so well versed in so many different mediums. I’m gonna be branching out and using different mediums soon. Maybe, i’ll film some of those videos if you wanna see that as well. And don’t be afraid of portraits you got it! 🥰

The surrounding colors alter the way we precieve the skin tone. The purple is still there but it doesn't look odd because the white is colored in.

holy molly…. this is amazing. Okay. you work section by section. I paint the whole painting in a light wash then work on layers.. do you recommend small sections?

[@EllieMandyArt]

Hey! Thank you so much! And tbh! I work like that sometimes too! Section by section can be tedious. It just depends on what i want to accomplish. I go section by section if I want a more tight & rendered painting off the jump. Hopefully that makes sense.

Wonderful work of art . Which website has such reference images for photorealistic paintings, I need help in this regard

[@EllieMandyArt]

I’ll be honest with you my friend. You can find a lot of high quality photos on instagram. You may need to ask the photographers for permission though if you do decide to paint their work. Or try Pinterest. :) there’s also free websites like Pixabay. (But i never used it)

[@ArtBuddyIndian]

@@EllieMandyArt But the file size of images found in Pinterest are in kb while a detailed photo from DSLR have at least 6 to 13 mb per file

Do you have patreon? Or do you post full length tutorials anywhere?

@@EllieMandyArt I think lesson videos because I enjoy rewatch and I'm a student so don't have the time and money for full lessons at once! But I'm sure other people would be delighted to do 1 on 1 lessons
