What I learned from your video is to have a relaxed attitude, which is important for doing anything.

[@RobertF-]

Those are really interesting points, about how too much detail makes a picture less picturesque, how leaving a painting a little unfinished makes it more lively, how you can subtly change colors and tones, and making the picture half abstract. Painting more abstract, especially in the beginning. Play with colors. You don't have to paint exactly what you see. Paint what you feel more. Really, really brilliant video. Also, your ability to get a likeness of a portrait is amazing. It seems like you barely try and it comes out automatically looking just like them. Great work.

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

thank you so much))

[@marydaugherty9442]

You are so generous to share your knowledge and talent in this way! What a wonderful teacher you are . Thank you!

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

[@daveh9521]

Always paint more than what is seen. True; paint what you feel - don't be a copy machine; we have cameras for that...

Definitely inspiring...you have given me courage to attempt a large portrait with only the knife!!

[@danielmcgowan4970]

Hi Sergey, Love this and I think this is by far, your best on line painting I have seen, also, the likeness is there. Thank you and well done..

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

thank you)))

[@maldoori238]

I liked your video Sergey. Informative and inspiring experience. I will have a go in painting a portrait using a palette knife. Thank you for sharing your wonderful skills

[@francesbartlett9564]

Fantastic thank you. I will give the pallet knife painting a try!

[@julieforster2356]

I love your videos and I love your technique in this video very useful tips especially with using the pallet knife! You are a master at what you do and I understand where your coming from when you say it’s not a good idea to paint in detail from a photo I generally can’t help myself when it comes to detail (I am a Virgo) but I am now only just beginning to steer away from that by creating my own style...I am currently looking for an oil class as I’ve never worked with oils before I love the way you can move the paint ‘sculpture like’ on the canvas......no other paint can do that! Thank you Sergey 😍🙏

[@MightyGames-uf5nh]

Your art reflects a story.

[@sanazmhm6587]

Ooo my god that’s grateful art👌👌👌👏👏👏👏

[@rangdhanuartacademy587]

Excellent portrait painting

[@lilychen4805]

I won’t believe what a pallet knife can do if I didn’t watch this from the beginning to the end...Amazing, masterful skills! Thank you so much for illustrating this incredible magical process!

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

Thanks 😉😊😊

[@paulmk2290]

Excellent video. I only tried using a knife once before and it ended up being pretty poor, but you have convinced me to try again.

[@zhangyongzhen123]

I like your Explained, very well.

[@lancejames9228]

brilliant! thanks. Hard to break out of photo realism.and minute detail. Freedom from the construct is a difficult transition. Harder than you think.

[@BabsHaake]

That was really fantastic.

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

Thanks 😉😊😊

[@youbuddha1]

Fantastic and very inspiring, I prefered the painting at an earlier stage, very good and thank you

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

[@meramadly2444]

Thank you ❤

[@jeremiahembs5343]

Another excellent tutorial by Sergey Gusev! Beginners should keep in mind that painting thick can be very expensive so only use inexpensive paints when trying this. If you don't like your first results just scrape the excess paint off with your knife and lint free rag and either start again immediately or let it dry and you have a very well primed canvas for another portrait that will be neutral in color.

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

thank you)))

[@jeremiahembs5343]

You are very welcome Sergey. :)

[@lynnvallons6029]

wow this is amazing, thanks for sharing! Did you paint everything wet in wet or did you let it dry before finishing up Sergey?

[@HunterPh]

I am an artist but wow! Just wow!

[@philiparundsouza6411]

Excellent Sergey its very beautiful god bless you

[@cr370]

Best best thing about using a pallet knife - no brush cleaning!

[@anotherblonde]

It shows skill level when an artist can replicate a subject, which differentiates the artisan from the dawber.

[@saynotoextremism7026]

Hello Sergey....when do allow the paint to dry.....between every layer or completely after the painting

[@OmnipotentO]

I think the styles can serve different purposes and that's fine. but I always prefer the painterly look over photorealistic look

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

Me too 😊😊

[@TheSujitbhise]

Inspiring

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

thank you)))

[@killteameddie]

yhank you very much for sharing knowledge love your work and channel!!! BIG FAN!!! I would really like to know whaT your palette looked like foR this painting, did you prepare the tones in advance or did you mix them on the go ? if you prepared them could you share please ?

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

hi thanks)) no I didn't prepare them) actually in my opinion the process of colour mixing is going right on the canvas, I was just picking paints up from the palette that's it)))))

[@e.dantas6039]

excelente..

[@user-vy2fm9dh5e]

great， unbelievable. totally painted with knife.

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

Thanks 😉

[@user-vw1pz5ck9n]

Круто! Поначалу думал, что Ленин получится, но в конце копия фото! Класс!

[@lovelystarsee9632]

I agree so much with you, I don't like to paint with details like a photography because it becomes so boring and unemotional.

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

thank you ))nice I am not alone)))

[@edgarej]

What about hyperrealism and artists like Chuck Close, Ron Mueck and Don Eddy? Do you think that approach to art is not valid?

[@franciscaviani786]

Do you know how fortunate you are? It’s kind of like Mozart telling us how to write a symphony. Easy fit him, but impossible for us. I have Parkinson’s and draw faces and paint in acrylics. Also I am 85 years old.which doesn’t help. God bless ,Fran Cavaiani

[@glasgowgaragegallerycurato8647]

Quick tip - mix all the paints that you see on the still life on your pallet. This should take the longest. What ever color you see, mix that as a small little pool on your pallet. When you feel ready, start applying the darker colors where you see them, and last will be the light colors. Use yellow to make things lighter and Burnt umber or blue to make things darker - try not to use white or black as much. Start with a very small canvas and work your way up. Good luck

[@renemireles9921]

como no fui Ruso chingao jajajaj

[@publicojornas1787]

So les bian...

[@kingsleysaxon9710]

Why would you? Machines can and will do that and call it art . Take a damned photo if you want an image of what you see! What you see isn't particularly interesting it's already complete. No great artist of the past ever did that. One of the reasons image makers like to argue that what you see is a valid subject just as it is is to justify the use of projectors and other technological crutches in their process. No imagination = no artist. Painting what you see and calling yourself an "artist" is analogous to a court reporter saying that they're a crime writer!

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

thank you))) great example)

[@georgimavrodinov4500]

Good plastic, but very bad color. The blood makes the human face a little bit red and purple, not orange like an orange fruit. This portrait is a portrait of an orange, not of a human face

[@hussamyaghy737]

Thank you

[@saynotoextremism7026]

Hello Sergey....when do allow the paint to dry.....between every layer or completely after the painting

[@SergeyGusevArtist]

this one wet in wet, so I dried it after finished))

[@saynotoextremism7026]

@@SergeyGusevArtist thank you very much Sir. One more question. ...Can we do glazing on wet on wet...
