Рисунок сбит полностью , пропорции не точны , лицо перекошено ... . Автору надо ежедневно делать наброски с натуры , тренировать точность глаза .. Стараться делать очень похожими на натуру .

@@edlal4716 Thank you! I am an artist Not a photographer.

I always say that in art, less is more. When I see those 10 or 12 step portrait painting demos in books I always think the portrait looks much better at step 5 or 6 than it does at step 12.

[@Milozandiart]

I agree with you! It doesn’t need to be complicated. If you have basic drawing skills and understanding values it gets much easier work with colors. By practicing you eventually get there. I’m still practicing 😊

[@louiswolfe5012]

​@@Milozandiart I think past step 5/6 is the background or glazing

[@Milozandiart]

@@louiswolfe5012Yes! It can be many steps. But simplifying as much as possible is the key 🔑

[@kascialelonek8757]

Wow great video!

Beautiful presentation, thank you. The woman pictured is Evelyn Nesbit, who, shall we say, led a colorful life.

[@Milozandiart]

Thank you! Yes. Beautiful model, I love to draw/paint her 🤩

[@myalicioglu]

I love this Sargent's loose style. Congrats

[@Milozandiart]

Thank you! I’m glad you like it 😀

[@anick6265]

You are an amazing artist. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, you are very generous also with all the informations you share, I just subscribed, you are a gift for us, thank you again 💕🙏

[@Milozandiart]

Thank you so much for your kind and friendly words ☺️🙏🏼 I’m glad that I can provide with these little information I know and very happy to share with others 😊

[@carlanderson6205]

Wow! Thats great. You show a kinda simple straight to it approach. I always wanted to try portraiture, but too difficult. The way you demonstrated that makes me feel I can do it. Reminds me a bit of a John singer Sargeant. Hope you do more in that same style. Thank you.

[@Milozandiart]

Thank you! I’m happy you enjoyed it 😀 I love Sargents portraits 😊 it’s actually simple but needs a lot of practice and Not giving up! I tried to show as simple as possible to follow the steps. I’ll try to do more demo alla prima painting 🎉

[@ARNOLDKEITHDIXON]

I really enjoyed how you painted this potrait. You nailed the likeness and I think your version of the Zorn palette really works. Many thanks!

[@Milozandiart]

I’m glad to hear that 😃 thank you! I love limited ( zorn ) palette to work with 🎨

[@francoistourigny3006]

My reference of success portrait is rendering equally! Or even better of the model, yours is from my point of view above the modèle figure! Even if this model face is beautiful.

[@magnuswootton6181]

shes great

Thank you for this portrait lesson .

You are welcome 🙏🏼

Lovely!

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@MaverickSeventySeven]

If you need "...raw umber to knock down the white...." then use raw umber in the gesso!!!! And a broad brush to "lay off" the paint!!!

[@nofearnow8190]

I like the subtle pallet. Very nice!

Thank you!

Beautiful! Will the neck remain unfinished?

[@Milozandiart]

Thanks! Yes. I mainly focused on the face.

[@19pgs85]

Yeh the draftsmanship is poor, but the rendering is great. It was great to watch, thanks for sharing.

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it 😀

[@marwan1766]

Hi Milo, Please, I have a small question. It is known that turpentine is volatile, and the question is: If I mix turpentine with oil painting will it also be volatile in this case?

[@Milozandiart]

Yes. That’s correct! I use turpentine in the beginning ( first layer ) it helps to cover the big shapes very fast and underpainting gets thin and washy which is nice and dry very fast. You need less and less turpentine on other layers instead if you want it Volatile use linseed oil ( dries slow )

[@dressforthegrave563]

which oils do you use?

[@Milozandiart]

Linseed oil and Windsor & newton liquin original :)

[@TharadolKT]

How do you make it look faded like watercolor?(First layer)

[@Milozandiart]

I used liquin original winsor & newton! Turpentine works fine too :)

[@TharadolKT]

[@majorhughes2791]

Ok so quick question. Acrylic over a previous oil layer?

[@Milozandiart]

Yes. Just a Gesso ( acrylic White Gesso) to primer the panel :)

[@majorhughes2791]

@@Milozandiart Ok so just for future work. Never do that. It is 100% going to fall off. Acrylic cannot properly adhere to oil. Vice versa absolutely. I get if this is just practice and you don't care so much, but rest assured it will flake off if that is oil underneath.

[@Milozandiart]

@@majorhughes2791 I’m not sure. Almost every artist I know use gesso to primer panels. I’ve done before and it works fine :)

[@majorhughes2791]

@@Milozandiart Yeah acrylic gesso is fine as a primer. I'm asking if you've put gesso on top of a previous oil painting. That you can't do. When you primed that panel in the video it looked like you had a previous painting on there.

[@Milozandiart]

@@majorhughes2791 Oh now I see what you mean. Sorry. Yes I did. I do that to paint over Just for studies and it’s cheap to reuse ♻️ materials 😅 thanks for your attention!

[@nicklegg61]

Just beautiful, im going to try and have a go.

[@Milozandiart]

Thanks! Nice to hear that Have fun 🤩

[@knut124andre]

raw uuber , did you pic it up from me ;)

[@Milozandiart]

I don't know ! Did I?😅

[@user-nk6jn3jk7q]

Очень хорошо. Техника оригинальная. Но, маэстро, левый глас на портрете-косит. А так всё класс.

[@officiallymrp]

Left eye needs to be slightly lifted or erased and repainted from scratch

[@Milozandiart]

Thank you! This is not about perfection just have fun ☺️ while painting 🖼️

[@nickFullerton-tb7dz]

Very nice. But its not the same woman.

[@Milozandiart]

Thank you!🙏🏼

Miloz whatz wrong with her eyes buddy

[@Milozandiart]

Nothing! It’s me 🫣

[@yunlongzhu9523]

Really bad portrait painting shows, because you don’t even catch the main point on the face, it was distorted.

[@Milozandiart]

Ok! 😅 where is the main point?maybe I can’t paint better But I’ll try harder. Thanks for your comment!
