Painting a Portrait in Oil

[@justinwilliams8157]

You're the best! This helps me even though I'm winging it on materials. I'm heavily invested in acrylics; both in years of usage (yuk!) and a huge supply. So I underpaint with acrylic then switch to water based oils. Somehow your advice still helps me a great deal! Thank you!

I just watched your first videos and your progress to where you are now is actually insane !!! Thankyou for all the great tips and tricks ❤❤

[@StankaKordic]

You are an excellent teacher and brilliant painter

[@stevedrago7216]

So nice, I watched it twice! Thx, Miriam!

[@wmasmk]

Would it be possible to show the photo on which you are basing the painting, or is it from a mirror? It would be better viewing it than watching you narrate. Although you are very lovely, thanks very much!

Hi! ☺️ I am fairly new to your channel and I just wanted to let you know I am really really enjoying it! I love your work and your style and your teaching style as well! Oh, and also that was quite shocking to see what happened with your little jar that had solvent in it lol I think the company should just stick to glass!

[@Miriamhoffmann]

Welcome and thank you!! And yes I was completely shocked haha! It says on the packaging it’s made for solvents so I figured it would hold up lol

[@jeanbyrd7444]

Do you use the medium to oil out with?

I am crazy about your art process honestly you’re so good at explaining and have a great mindset. You need to drop a art book one day, I love your work. Amazing self portrait ❤

I discovered your chanel in the past two months and I loved your vibe. Your work is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your process and thoughts with us.

[@Miriamhoffmann]

Thank you so much!!! 🥰

[@BBardot]

You should make the painting process footage more close up, I can’t see the details because it’s so zoomed out. Thank you for these tutorials I just really can’t see the magic from that distance

Stage 2, 11:49 it has a bit of eerie look, I kind of like it.

[@bobcatnm]

I love that you’re self taught! Beautiful work! Stunning!

Hi! Absolutely love your videos, I am kinda binging them at the moment, you're a really big motivation. I wanted to ask what grey base are you using for the palette? Is it just regular paper? because it doesnt look like glass.

[@Miriamhoffmann]

Hi!! Thanks for watching! It’s called grey matters palette paper 🥰 I buy it from Blicks.

[@mystiquealfa8847]

Great tips. I just used the gel to paint a portrait, and like you I never really loved it until this painting. Go figure 😊. Thanks for all your hard work

At long last a KZbin artist who can actually paint! Thank you

More than light , the shadows define the shape of the objects.So learners should follow the shadows than the light.
