Painting the Planes of The Face Broken Down So You Can Understand

[@roserousan6411]

I love how your realism art look like a painting and not a digital picture. I love your style ❤

[@pranjalshelar3830]

Exact words man...

[@7792pnaurfr]

His "realism art"?

[@Maggiewuvsrufus]

Bro every time I watch one of these my paintings get better immediately. Regret not listening to my art teachers 🥴🤣 thanks for the free advice as always!

[@bellischubert8747]

You‘re getting so good with your art 😶 😳 love seeing your process and am very grateful for your shared knowledge 💙 thank you Chris☺️✨

[@paintcoach]

Thanks!

[@SlowPursuit]

@@paintcoach Id second that- dunno how to put it but you sort of added a level of maturity overnight! Dead good chief. (Says he that is completely pants!).

[@awaitingthetrumpetcall4529]

This tutorial was instructive. Understanding the planes of the face have helped me in 2D vector animation.

[@calypsowarrior9061]

Oh my gosh this was so good I was watching tv and instantly could see the plains on the people’s faces. So cool. Thanks

[@candi6211]

This was the best video I’ve watched about planes of the face! When you talk about your experiences, it’s like I’ve been at that exact spot. Maybe it’s the Italian in us thinking alike lol

[@DS40764]

You are a very good portrait painter in oils. You capture the emotion very well

[@sakshilikestopaint3280]

Wow! just amazed by your painting style...I just watched all your videos and now I am your big fan..... I'm a student of visual arts, from India! Keep inspiring...^^

[@crystolslimbracey]

I love how he explains these techniques

[@drawstraw4483]

That is a strong painting. Gettin' good 👍

[@theMangartD]

[@heartgore3087]

Started my first oil painting yesterday! Your videos are so helpful :)

[@paintcoach]

That makes me happy to hear!

[@iskeipizm]

i read the title and I broke down

[@neu-ter]

I'm grateful Chris thank you so much

[@paintcoach]

You are very welcome

[@BarbrajoanOriginals]

Chris, I say your still one of the best with portraits. I remember your work from a couple years ago. You were in a different studio. I love your new one. 🌴. Tallahassee

[@samiam7]

I feel like this would help alot not just with portraits but hugely with "scenery" where the figures are at a distance and the detail is not even visible

[@theresadailey5809]

Great advice from the painting coach, 👏👏👏

[@katieblackmore9257]

You are the best teacher out there hands down 🙌 thank you so much for giving all this for free. ♥️

[@selftrue670]

Dang, that baby portrait is great!

[@kermit3194]

Wow! Keep up the good work!! The portrait looks just like you!

[@paintcoach]

Thank you so much 😀

[@ronreid1946]

Good heads up on Minnie aspects. Thank you.

[@galacticatv5537]

Been binging your videos for techniques for this massive 60x60 painting project I’m working on & man !.. some of your videos helped correct little habits I’ve had for years. So far, piece is looking like my best work ! Bless you!!!

[@jeanne-mareslabbert8380]

Awesome tutorial

[@gayleswellness2225]

Always good stuff...thanks!

[@nitinh2499]

Excellent info Chris 👍🏼

[@Oczamialicji]

Great tip. Thanks a lot! I’m just starting my journey with the painting and I bombed the wall, because I know how my paintings should look like, while I’m painting it looks much more different. 😂Lol

[@nicolegreenfield1249]

Good timing I’m in the middle of a series of portraits. Thanks coach!

[@paintcoach]

Happy to help!

[@alexlynn7219]

Thanks so much for this. I had a go at the exercise and couldn't believe how much it showed the importance of planes v features. Has made a significant difference for me.

[@distractedpixie4429]

Dude, no way. I'm in the matrix because I've been thinking about how i needed a video like this for like 3 days now.

[@paintingsbyjamescooper4330]

Thank you, this is good information.

[@evelynbrogli830]

You always give good advice.

[@watzupbuttercup]

Really glad I found your channel! The portrait painting tips have been helpful and I appreciate that you speak clearly quickly and get to the point. I'll be checking out your Patreon - thx for posting this vid

[@h.briseno8597]

Now I know who you remind me of…Steve Howie! Love your videos btw. ❤️

[@erniemayo944]

Love you cris

[@digi_edits]

Videos that feel that we should be paying but it´s free. Thanks Coach.

[@ChristyAWare]

Thank you for the great content and app recommendation! Just downloaded it and I'm inspired to finish a portrait this morning. 🙏

[@marie-pierjutras1641]

Your videos on face planes really helped me understand how to see the colours in a portrait. Do you wait for the layers to dry before painting over them? Thank you for sharing so clearly!

[@Lanelle_bella]

I tried to do a portrait the other day.... It was a complete disaster. I believe this was my problem. I think I'll go and find a picture of that head model and paint it a couple times. Thank for the tip!

[@changemymind06]

Wow it's been a while since I've watched any oil painting videos, but your art has noticeably improved!

[@claires9100]

Awesome help. Thx P.C!

[@TheRealHelenaDeluca]

Amazing thank you!

[@gracebres]

I literally didn't know how to draw a realistic looking nose until I saw a video on documenting the planes of the nose and all of a sudden, I could draw a realistic nose

[@oliecrone12]

You have improved so much over time ( if that's even possible ), thank you so much for these videos I'm going to start painting portraits again because of this lol thanks

[@maggietattersfield2859]

You are amazingly good. 👌

[@reneeharold7358]

That portrait of the baby at the end of the video turned out really well! It looked cuter than the real baby.

[@1956paterson]

Excellent instruction

[@5850terry]

Very helpful.

[@wizzardofpaws2420]

You are so awesome. I love the mean mugging your'e doing!!

[@margobrouwer8229]

Wow…this is a very good self portret. It’s so hard to get a good one…Struggling to get my own, but your explanation about the planes is great. Thanks

[@rebeccanewberry3176]

I procrastinated watching this video because I don't do portraits (yet). But the planes idea is super helpful with my landscapes and painting rocks! I should've known lol Thanks 👍

[@johnwest4097]

outstanding! thanks so much!

[@Jackie-kd8wd]

This was so helpful!!!!

[@dianelake7802]

so interesting. I can do an illustrative kind of face in pencil drawing. I shy away from painting faces. Making them realistic is difficult and then, how to go about painting the face seems even more so. I'm glad I watched this video as it takes some of the intimidation away. I know that I also have to practice at it as you stress. I will need to rewatch this a few times and then make an effort to try it.

[@claires9100]

Go for it!

[@sandycaracciolo8015]

Awesome video. Looking forward to trying this out. Thanks so much for sharing this great info!

Gahh I’ve been struggling with an acrylic portrait for a few days now! Happy I found your channel! 😵‍💫👍🏼

[@williammeck3466]

You’ve just answered a question that I have been unable to find keywords to research. It’s been a forever struggle to not understand how to become more detailed in my work. I do more fantasy oriented paintings with creatures, more sci-fi leaning. However I would spend so much time struggling with direction of light for details, that it just didn’t feel real enough because it didn’t shift properly. I can see the image in my head, but could never make it make absolute sense when only using shifts in value, and not my now newly added word PLAINs!!!! Thank you!!! (Hope that made sense 😂)

[@ipitrader]

@ Williams > is Planes ( a Flat surface that has one common shade value)

[@bartsenders]

Thanks for this interesting video!

[@KayInMaine]

The baby painting you did is amazing! Came out amazing! Thank you for sharing these tips with us today, Chris.

[@lisavandermeer6859]

Wow I just learned so much . Thanks ☺️ 👩‍🎨🎨👩‍🎨🎨

[@paintcoach]

Glad it was helpful!

[@recoveringsoul755]

Seems like you could maybe get small post it notes and stick them all over your face, to "see" where the planes are and how each paper surface catches the light differently. Or use that head app, that looks cool too

[@marcyperrier7030]

This was such a good lesson. Also my favorite self portrait of you.thanks Chris.

[@40bdg]

Great timing for me. Super helpful, thanks!

I would love to know which colors you use as well ♡♡♡

[@crisalidathomassie1811]

Wow! Nice video Chris. I’m lost for words to describe your work. This video in particular is of great help! Thanks so much. I struggle with very light skin values, but I will keep trying. You are an amazing Coach! I truly appreciate all you do to keep us in check! Question: when using blues, is cobalt blue, ultramarine blue or Prussian blue equally used in portraits? Blessings and take care.

[@dayledodwell9938]

I been watching and enjoying your video’s for a while could you post the app you used I would love to check it out. I do look forward to all your video’s thank you.

[@44rick44james44]

What's the name of the app again?

[@phoeberulesall1294]

I can't find the face model app he mentions 😢

[@dennishebert9139]

Chris, I really like your style of instruction and the quality of your work. Due to the chemical aspect of things and painting in my home I am using acrylics. My question is do you have students following you on Patreon that are using acrylic paint rather than oils? It seems to me a lot can be gleaned and only a few modifications would need to be made. Any others out there in this situation? Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thx

[@AngeloBonaveraArt]

I noticed that you paint in layers and sculpt, while other artsits like 'Alpay Efe' seem to just fill in the blanks with splotches of color. Do you know what these two different methods are, if one is easier than the other, or have any other opinions on them?

[@prettymaladies]

i can't find this app by that name on the google play store, is it only for apple? does anyone know?
