I am one of your supporters and a very satisfied one at that. You are MY greatest supporter by far!! ~ After a lifetime of painting, being an Art teacher for many years, Commercial artist also for many decades, but really never being satisfied with the excellence of my own work. I have been trying to get closer to the really big ones. I am informed about all the ins and outs of drawing and painting and made a good living with it. After having been able to encounter you in KZbin and receive some very wanted advice on uplifting my excellence (I never received a formal art training) I am ready to thank you for your help and dedication and above all helping me to achieve my goal! It is about time, I am 90 years old and now able 'retouch' older artwork of mine and not being ashamed of creations I am leaving behind. Thank you so much my friend!

[@parisdblack1711]

I really appreciate these videos. Please do more in the academic style. Thank you.

[@danielmcgowan4970]

Probably the best traditional instruction and artist on 'KZbin'. Always very articulate and explaining every stroke he makes.. Thank you .

[@gitboxer2000]

Thank you so much for the real time verbal breakdown of your process. Your technique is very pragmatic and useful. I especially like in the beginning of the process when you talk about using mainly straight lines to simply capture the shapes and boundaries of the figure. I don't know if I've ever worked this way before but it makes sense! Now that I think of it, I've been using landmark dots to help me plot curves, but I think this technique will be a nice new approach to add to my strategies for constructing basic shapes. The vine charcoal also wipes away very easily and completely and I love that. I find subtraction to be a great way to work. As a teacher myself , I am inspired by you and will pass this knowledge on. Thanks again from Albuquerque!

[@reneejj160]

Fabulous tutorial, Thank you for the great commentary along with the painting.

[@ARNOLDKEITHDIXON]

I was fascinated watching this demo and found it extremely instructive. I have painted several portraits using the academic approach and enjoy its laid-back style. My variation is to paint my linear drawing direct upon the canvas rather than use a tracing but both work, Thank you so much for these wonderful, clearly explained, and well executed masterpieces tha you do for us.

[@richardbaeyens1313]

Merci pour ce très beau partage. Très belle vidéo.👍

[@lizkilic1528]

Wow amazing 😍

[@josykeully637]

Wonderful tutorial 🙌🏼

[@alexjohn5213]

The first time i heard about water mixed Oilpaint....Thank you

[@tcherinacombe9110]

Very nice portrait, it has life! I never realized before that sap green mixed with alizarin or cad red can make a much nicer brown tone than is available in a tube. Thank you!

[@carolburkett7018]

You sure have given me more than several new ways to transfer drawings to canvas. I either draw portraits on paper. I use pastels paints. I did not realize a water mix a oil paint. Thank you very much for your tutorial.

[@andreabratic7506]

I was in a rutine with my painting, an accually not really knowing how to approach my subject. Your video gave me inspiration and structure that I needed. Thank you

[@tariqsiddique1383]

Great great tutorial. Thank you sir. Stay blessed.

[@josvanriswick7817]

Thnx your videos are a great inspiration !

[@duantorruellas716]

Great work, but i draw directly on the canvas with charcoal. Any measuring or correction to be done I do it on the lightly toned canvas . But everything else as for the 3 stages I follow. What you have here is indeed the academic process. The deadlayer in white gives the subject a luminosity that show through the skin. The Flemish painters took the white under layer to another level. It was really nice to see the classical technique . Thanks yet again for your priceless advice. What I got from this that I can use is your advice on subtle changes in the relation between the plains. I like it when you say , " the zygamatic ". Lol. I really like the technical approach and the way you work with color , I'm terrible with color. 🙂👌

[@massidew5654]

Once again thank you Maestro,very useful demonstration and excellent work,as usual

Your videos are so helpful. Thank you,

[@hetedeleambacht6608]

waw looks great

[@rustlephillips492]

Fantastic thank so much for sharing! ❤️

[@sayednasr]

What is the way to prepare the painting before the color painting Thank you Thank you I have benefited from you very much, but I have an oil question

[@el8638]

Would it be just fine to make an underpainting with burnt umber and titanium white and subsequently add layers of coloured glazes on top of the dryed brunaille?

[@YupariArtist]

Yes! An under painting with T White and B umber is good! Also, I think I used W&N Artisan oil colors here. I don’t recommend that brand at all, this painting never completely dried after glazing with the Artisan Medium... I’ve deleted a lot of my old videos that used this brand 😅 Please watch my most recent video for information on higher quality oil colors!

[@HorstramWieljentic]

Complimenti per i tuoi tutorial. Questa è una pittura su grisaglia?

[@michaelmcewan432]

Excellent tutorial

[@jor4288]

Wonderful video.

[@jennifergottliebel-azhari149]

Good tutorial thanks

[@jackdaly4258]

Great stuff

[@josvanriswick7817]

Hello Yupari Artist! Hm I was wondering: you probably also paint from photographs sometimes. Do you have any thoughts on this? Use a tablet? What lighting etc....

[@LynnePriceStudio]

Please don't delete his video. It's really too important to do so. You could add a disclaimer at the top? I despise W&N watermixable oils by the way. But I love Cobra and Grumbacher.

[@leonelvilela5531]

Why are you using zinc white with burnt umber instead of titanium white? because of its transparency?

[@anasouza-tx9dq]

Você é sensacional, te admiro ,gostaria de pintar como você mestre.

[@Roddicastiglia]

Yupari You are great, so many thanks for the tutorial; but I'm stupid so i did not understand how You have got the tone for the darkest shadow face ... I hope You could help me ..many thanks

[@theartofjosephadams1970]

What type of camera do you use to film ?

[@gloriapinskerportraits4801]

It's easier to do the underpainting from a black-&-white photo, isn't it? You can see the values much better.

[@demetrasoeldner522]

Yupari hello is it possible to send you a picture to paint as a video subject? it is just a portrait (do not know the artist) but I have been wanting to pant her but I am not sure I can do it on my own. thank you please reply via the facebook page.

[@jhonrobertvergarazavaleta3849]

Hola yupari exelente video instructivo gracias pero no hablas español

[@KpxUrz5745]

Guess I'm just too picky. I don't like the final result, and didn't like any of the steps along the way. This is just not how to paint.

[@111dibujitos]

Great explanations, great ideas, great demonstration... If you just paid a bit more of attention to the drawing you'd be an excellent portrait artist ;) Thank you!

[@legendaryvegangaming7761]

nice backhanded compliment

[@111dibujitos]

LegendaryVegan Gaming I hope it will serve him well ;) I like criticism when it helps me grow and that's what I try to give to others. I like what he does here in youtube. It's very useful to a lot of people. But he's got potential and he can reach a much better level. That's good to know, right? ;)

[@hetedeleambacht6608]

fantastic! But proportions…..

[@theartofjosephadams1970]
