Portrait Alla Prima

[@kaizaee]

how can one video leave you completely impressed, amazed and cross-eyed all at once?

[@Xplorer228]

I really enjoyed the double portraits! They went very well together.

[@missmortifer]

I'm deeply in love with the first portrait, the little girl's face is stunningly adorable! You have what in Italy is called "a beautiful hand" when it comes to doing things such as painting or drawing, sculpting and like. Kudos to you!

[@Barneymum]

Wow - I'm in awe. I am so impressed. Thanks for posting this for us lesser mortals trying to improve!

ich liebe das Video, wie man ein Porträt zu malen. Ich habe auch mache keine Skizzen, bevor ich mit dem Malen beginnen und deshalb habe ich wirklich genossen haben Ihre video.Chege

[@mickyleachlover]

I would really love to know the key to "overpainting" light over dark! Whenever I try this I end up with a brown mess. I wonder if some sort of medium is used. Also who is MrPicment ! Does he have any DVD's on sale. He is obviously a very gifted artist and I hope he may share his great skills with others. Really pleased I found his uploads and now subscribe. Great work, please keep posting, many thanks...

[@coldsphagett8910]

Maybe using opaque oil color like cadmium yellow, blue etc will help you painting light over dark

[@coldsphagett8910]

Also, you can look up the lists of opaque and transparent oil color to help you

[@BlaiseBougouin]

I like your videos very much .

[@noumine]

Magnifique!

[@MrPicment]

@cybrid1940 As said by Leygoes it´s wet on wet. Alla Prima means that´s a one session painting.

[@Diymarta]

How long in real time did this take? Beautiful work!

[@incognito3620]

Very nice how you can do two at once…and so fast! 😄😜 Seriously, very nice.

[@MrPicment]

It´s a composition by Rachmaninov Vocalise op 34 n 14.

[@kimpeinture8480]

j'adore toutes vos peintures..

[@robertmartino7548]

Great work

[@mwill6611]

awesome demo! what size canvas did you use? great music too!

[@NowIAmAwake]

Mooi en leerzaam om te zien. Ik vraag me af waarmee u de verf voor de onderschildering verdunt. Gebruikt u daarvoor terpentijn of terpentine?

[@queenoscottydogs]

What references do you use. Live models, photos that you've taken? Beautiful work!

[@MrPicment]

@NowIAmAwake My mom is Belgian but I don´t speak AN. I hope i understand you question correctly. Yes i use terpentine for the underpainting. The underpainting should be a thin layer.

[@oedalis]

I don't think that he did since this is a very fast painting technique. There is a little blending that will naturally happen but if you're applying gradually increasingly thicker paint (using less solvent or medium and more straight paint from the tube) this helps minimize undesirable muddiness. You may notice the tones he used do tend towards brown neutrals for most of the process and this is at least partly because of colors blending on the canvas.

[@xolusia3x]

good painting!

[@Leygoes]

@cybrid1940 It's an Alla Prima portrait, which is "wet on wet" :)

[@RonWilsonFineArt]

The twin portraits are a novel way of retaining attention.

[@kmackenz7]

I wish I could see his palette.

[@oedalis]

Did you have models sit for these or were these painted from memory/imagination?

[@Feyrerei]

Hi I have question, did you let the first layer dry before painting with the different colors? Wouldn't the brown blend in with all the other colors ? This is the problem I have.

[@chellesnail]

That is amazing! :) I'm mainly a watercolourist and acrylic painter artist, but really keen to learn more on oils. I'm deaf and wondered if you could subtitle this video if ur able to?

[@NowIAmAwake]

@MrPicment I don't know why I wrote my question in Dutch. Sorry for that. Thank you for your answer. In my lessons traditional techniques sometimes we make an underpainting with acryl, but I prefere your way. Thank you for your inspiring lessons!

[@Ivaalsa]

Amazing 😭❤️❤️

[@SardinhasEmAzeite]

amazing! Congrats!

[@MaryHayesMA]

amazing technique - thank you

[@MrPicment]

@mwill6611 Thanks :) Board size is 18cm x 24cm (7.09" x 9.45").

[@Leygoes]

Smashing job :)

[@MrPicment]

She is an angel :)

[@VENUS734]

Un réel plaisir des yeux.

[@MrPicment]

@Leygoes Thank You:)

[@oedalis]

Alla prima is wet-on-wet painting so, yes, it is wet at all times. If you're applying paint fat over lean, it shouldn't get muddy---the different consistencies of paint don't mix easily, although there will be a little picking up of color from different areas but this is desirable to a large extent. It helps to unify the painting.

[@Ivaalsa]

Amazing!!

[@xolusia3x]

what is title of this song?

[@MrPicment]

@unblesseDK In this case from photographs but they are not copies. I use them for inspiration. Expessions and colors are imaginary.

[@lisengel2498]

Very beautiful but why two portrait at a time ? And it would have been very informative with a short written explanation of choice ofcolors and eventuel medium.

[@Rodo2870]

beautiful Jobs

[@MrPicment]

Hi, thanks for the sub :D For those paintings I used a noname sythetic filbert brush. But now I´m only using Eclipse and Mongoose brushes by rosemary and co. Linseed oil is a slow drying medium. I need a quick drying medium like Liquin Original, Liquin Light Gel or terpentine (don´t like the heavy smell of terpentine). No experience with linseed oil :|

[@homercavazos]

Incredible

[@kampuami]

u r crazy man

[@singsong1940]

Marvellous

[@jfujiwara777]

[@MrPicment]

You´re 24 :D Thanks for your comment. See, understand and practice that´s the "magic secret".

[@izemfouzia]

[@Leygoes]

@MrPicment

[@ScowlingBat]

It's weird. The one on the left is pretty damn good, the right one really sucks.

WOW!!!

[@Moniranan]

OMG OMG, where do i look DDD:

[@LorenzoCommedy]

already awesome at 1:40

[@MrPicment]

@ifuckinghateyoubitch You´re on the right way. I´m sure you can! If you need some good teaching videos look for Portait Painting Duo (Dan Gerhartz and Scott Burdick) or Alla Prima Portaiture (Rose Frentzen). You can download it for 15$ each.

[@sciosciooo]
