Portrait Painting Process Broken Down

[@dorrisgonnawreckyou7111]

Nice, always find myself staring at your many cage's, theyre awesome.

[@phylliss2851]

As a huge Nicholas Cage fan, you couldn't have picked a better subject for expressions. Bravo

[@amandateoh1164]

I was just looking at my empty wall thinking of what to hang up......... Yup, a Nicholas cage oil painting.

[@Omer_Latif]

After watching this one i am now more confident to put my landscapes aside and start portraits finally👍 nice one Chris. Thanks

[@paintcoach]

Awesome!

[@markh7523]

Great clear communicator

[@paintcoach]

Thanks!

[@patrickwelch3274]

Good patience. I could never do this . The planning alone is impressive. I realize how you drew each head to get these expressions. When this is done you will have grown so much . The future creations are there for you. The creativity you have is endless. Impressive

[@paintcoach]

Thank you so much 😀

[@erols.8800]

I like the way you paint. It's a building blocks process

[@paintcoach]

exactly!

[@erols.8800]

🥰🥰🥰

[@jennifernewmanart]

These cages are phenomenal ,so incredibly inspiring and a fun project ! The different expressions are mind blowing

[@burak5601]

Chris, I really appreciate what you’re doing. You are giving invaluable lessons about painting with one of the most clear and learnable way I’ve seen in a painting Jedi. Your methods are really simple and helpfuI and I’m quite sure you’re making a lot of people’s life easier and more enjoyable with these lessons. I sincerely thank you for your effort and time that you put in to making these videos for the people you don’t actually know or have a connection with.

[@paintcoach]

Burak thanks! I’m glad you’re finding the videos helpful

[@mikeb7526]

Another great painting and tutorial 👍

[@paintcoach]

Thank you so much 😀

[@madisonsomuah7142]

I like how you explain everything and show it and don’t go too fast so I’m definitely subscribing 🥰, also love your viewpoint on painting

[@BlueEyedMatt42]

Great video to watch with my coffee this morning.

[@paintcoach]

Nothing like some coffee and Cage in the morning

[@jessicathayer3151]

this is an awesome painting

[@deannagosling6069]

The thumbnail is honestly what made me click on this video haha Truly helpful tips! Thanks for sharing!

[@fereshmahta6113]

Chris! thank you for the tutorial! You make me feel more confident with portraits. it was fun and exciting! now ready to paint my homework J. Surgeon.

[@jenniferverette6303]

Thank you for your videos. Your advice is so helpful. I see a Bruce Willis collage in your future.

[@BJBreukelman]

I agree with your stand on "flesh tones, and there being so much more color. I think that's with anything. It's about breaking away from what our minds assume and opening our eyes to what's actually going on in nature and our reference materials. Great information! Thank you for sharing!

[@paintcoach]

Thanks!

[@citaw517]

I used to work at moca....before you were born...lol. I used to take pics at our openings, and I got a pic of Nic and his Dad. it's a great shot of them...When I meet you in person one day....I'll give it to you. (I know, in my dreams!)

[@ErikdosReis]

Conair Cage steals the scene 100% man 🤙👏

[@atia4495]

Chris thank you for the tutorial!!!!! You make me feel more confident with portraits 💖💞❤️❤️

[@paintcoach]

My pleasure 😊

[@purelovepaintings5075]

omg your early rough stage is still better than my exhaustive finished product. if you are this good now, i am excited to watch you evolve

[@jrlakin370]

Nice 👍

[@40bdg]

You were definitely talking to me when addressing blending. Ha ha I have such a strong need to do that and it's a big downfall for me since I'm new at oils because I end up with a mess. I am going to try your method/tip of just adding a different value next to the previous one to get a good transition. Thanks!

[@40bdg]

@Sherry Doodle-All-Day We will persist and prevail! 👍😉😃

[@paintcoach]

Glad it was helpful!

[@paintcoach]

You can do it! I believe in you!

[@40bdg]

Thanks Coach! 😀

[@RatusMax]

This was a video I saw about a year ago that put me on my path. Thanks.

[@hassaanahmed23]

I always painted portratis in black and whites and always used pastel pencils, i have practiced flesh tones using your help Coach. Now i will start my linear mural full of portrairts. It is 9 feet long and 3 feet tall wish me luck. I have done the underdrawing tho. Could u do a video on sfumato cause i never get that.

[@paintcoach]

That sounds awesome!

[@balorprice]

"Value does all the work but colour gets all the credit". Damn.

[@roserousan6411]

I was waiting for a video for this painting !

[@paintcoach]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@fereshmahta6113]

i painted! it was a good challenge!

[@RJPalat]

very nice job! (that thing looks huge, so good on ya for keeping hacking at it.)

[@marcyperrier7030]

Best portrait video ever.!

[@paintcoach]

Thanks!

[@alibi4876]

So motivating! Thank you!

[@ManinderSingh-uo3kc]

Working on a portrait. Needed this complete face of the portrait

[@Artist_Crafter]

I just like to stick around for the ending cause you never know what he’s going to say! LOL!

[@ionlyemergeafterdark]

Chris, you mentioned creating a print from your work. I suggest that you make a video on making a print from a painting, for selling for example.

[@TheBuldog2000]

Great idea!👍👌

[@nikkiswenson54]

Thank you...all good info!

[@fereshmahta6113]

first, I painted on my scath book and used colored pencils. then on canvas with oil painting, it took me 4 hours!

[@beccajane3056]

Great advice

[@paulsemenoff1386]

Hey Coach-Doing my first portrait. Can you please let me know: What are your main tips for going from patchwork quilt to finished smoother looking portrait? You went over quite a bit of it here. Would you say using the “transition values“ is the most helpful? Any others? “Typically” how many layers are there of thin to thick to done? Thank you!...Paul

[@laurel_ashes_art]

My eyes! MY EYES!! 🐝

[@Meemorp_]

You mentioned prints. If you haven't already, do you think you could make a video discussing your process for making prints of artwork?

[@paintcoach]

I have actually never made prints before. I'll let you know how it goes

[@carolinabotta1607]

sei fantastico

[@yasminshima]

Great tutorial thanks!

[@paintcoach]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nixi-fv4wo]

Love your teach

[@whitetanuki232323]

I know your not into the idea of a skin color paint, but I think windsor and newton should have a hue called "clean shaven cage"

[@aesaehttr]

I paint pictures of Barbara Streisand...i mean Nicholas Cage. Lol. (Really though that is halarious and awesome. Super great technically also. They look like photos!)

[@rori_hughes_artistry]

Loved the video! Tutorial on painting mouths+teeth? I can imagine so many people struggle with this along with me

[@paintcoach]

It's coming very soon!

[@jillkidd60]

Hi Chris, I just found your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I too love to paint portraits. I've been using Prismacolor Pencils and Acrylic. Now I would like to learn Oil Painting Portraits. My question for right now is, What do you use to draw the original portrait before the painting?

[@annalizmarie]

Love the outro 😂

[@yematosan8837]

Beautiful cage's 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@magnolia2]

I bet this would make Jenna Marbles and Julien very happy!

[@fjfnsp]

Thanks Chris. Would you mind sharing your thoughts on whether this technique could be applied with acrylics, successfully to some extent at least? From someone that is also self learning and has started with acrylics

[@shanedufty128]

[@elizabethbell1077]

I kind of want Nicholas Cage to buy it and even request a favorite of his to be added to it............

[@Virtualvinyilradio]

New painter here at 34

[@gigas1001]

Paint Axl Rose with the flag USA

[@careywanabe]

I'm curious your thoughts on copyright or if it worries you or not. There are paintings I want to do but I hesitate because they use a photo reference similar to these Nick Cage photos some of which are sourced from movies. Where is the line for a painter to create prints and profit from copyrighted material? This gives me a lot of anxiety when I'm creating work.

[@bjornviir3333]

ive done 10 portraits of trump but not on one canvas....might just try that....he has so many expressions....good info, i m just starting out with oils....its like going from a honda to a ferrari.

[@coopergurl90]

Do you have special brushes you use at each stage? Can you share this? Thank you!

[@isabellelib1381]

Where do you find your royalty free reference photographs?

[@datboibutters]

Who these men are?

[@Strega_del_Corvo]

Do you ever wait for the paint to dry or do you keep layering while it’s wet?

[@paintcoach]

Most of my my portraits I work wet into wet

[@GabrieleSchulz1963]

Leider viel zu schnell gesprochen....ich hab nur die Möglichkeit über Untertitel zu lesen!

[@jenniferhines8533]

Has anyone told you that you look like a younger Nicolas Cage?

[@paintcoach]

No ahaha

[@zenithgh2250]

This is not as easy as I thought, my head is literally spinning
