I love how into movies and tv shows you are! The main reason i started to paint (a little) was because i wanted portraits of my favourite characters, so i decided to do it myself. You're a great inspiration. Thanks and greetings from Brasssiill 🇧🇷🫡

Myself included. Certain memorable scenes as well. It also helps me gage my improvement when people can recognize the familiar faces without me telling them. That way a customer could be confident I could paint a family member.

@@JohnnyEffitawl those all sound great, here's tip though, don't know if it is "ethical" but I go on you tube and "pimp off" some guy's model he is painting, or drawing, some are really nice, and the light is often good (like Rembrandt) for the shadow pattern as Chris was showing us here!

Amazing how simple it seems if you follow what you see, in broad strokes, to tiny light and shadow with colours adjusting as you go. I might finally try portrait, you are so detailed in your description, but ultimately all artists learning or advanced are visual learners. Nothing makes more sense than to see how easy it all looks if you follow your reasons for doing things. From here as you progress down this path, most will develop their individual style. Thanks Chris

@ronschlorff7089 2 ай бұрын

Chris, great vid, among many others you have done. Yes, it is shocking how simple portrait painting can be if you follow some basics as you showed us here. Of course, you have to be able to draw well, so, that's another story; but given that and use of the tools you showed it is far easier than say a landscape and still life or even a figure which will involve more elements not usually included in a portrait. And you can be as loose or tight with the image after you get the "bones" of the portrait down. I'm primarily a landscape painter, plein air often, but studio too, and so much more needs to be included, and each one is a different challenge. But as you say, "a head is just basically an egg", with plains and shadows to show the forms. And some guys with no hair at all are even more "egg-like", so it's easy peasy!! Well, ...maybe! LOL ;D

You most likely need to apply thicker paint so as not to mix in with the wet paint. But waiting still works.

If you paint wet on wet, do you need to also use the thick on thin rule? I have seen some artists simply "wipe off" extra paint in their initial layers and no use any thinners or mediums. I haven't started painting yet, just trying to learn a few things before I start.

Question: Do you ever worry about adding so much wet on wet and getting "muddy" color mixes? Any suggestions to avoid doing that? Or is it mostly a non-issue?

@vincentmarotta9800 18 күн бұрын

So I actually answered this question by watching a different tutorial. And if you look, you'll notice he's doing it too! The important thing to get use to is repeatedly loading paint back on the brush. So you mix paint, apply a few strokes on the canvas, wipe on a towel to get rid of most of the paint on the brush, go back and LOAD more paint AGAIN, apply a few strokes on the canvas, wipe on a towel, etc etc. Notice when he applies new colors after mixing, it's usually on the "load the brush again" stage. This is VITAL for questions like the one I posed above 2 months ago. Because by re-loading your brush and using plenty of paint, you're not mixing what's on the canvas and creating muddy colors between what's on there...but rather....bringing in more fresh paint to apply between, so when you mix a little on the canvas, it will prevent the colors from getting muddy. But thank you again for this great tutorial.

Hello, if I want to grey out a skin tone, are there rules for when I should and shouldn't use black? I'm a bit opposed to using black because I'm trying my best to use opposite side colors on the color wheel for graying out colors, but if there is some logic to when I should use either method, I am curious.
