[@abdealirangwala1121]

Those eyes are magical. Each stroke is a master stroke.

[@vacabalo]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@abdealirangwala1121]

The sketch itself was mind blowing, let alone the detailing.

Wow, that is a stunning watercolour portrait painting!

Thanks a lot! ^^

Жаль , что контур резкий ! Детали контура на дальнем плане должны быть смягчены , размыты , не вылазить на первый план . Автору надо показать , как он работает не с фотографии , а с натуры .

[@vacabalo]

Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you! I need to select some important steps to show in the video because it usually takes me 4-6 hours to finish a painting.

Do you sketch directly or with the help of grid ?

[@vacabalo]

Hi, I sketched a portrait directly using the Loomis method vacabalo.com/how-to-draw-a-face/

[@mdharmarajan65]

[@vacabalo]

Thank you! I used cold-pressed, 300 gsm, 100% cotton paper

How can someone paint such a detailed potrait with watercolour?... I can' t understand...chapeux bas!

[@vacabalo]

Thanks a lot for your compliment! I means a lot to me ^_^

[@richardfuchs5131]

The jump from shadow to wrinkles and white of the eyes is a big missing feature.

[@vacabalo]

Thanks for your feedback! I will keep in mind to record more detailing steps in the next videos.

[@pcolca6700]

Вы скрыли один секрет. Покрыли сверху, светло желтой.......нехорошоооо......

[@vacabalo]

Thanks for your feedback! I didn't hide any secrets. Could you please explain in more detail?

[@vacabalo]

Thank you ☺️

[@augustleo7434]

BEWARE ALL - there are some HUGE edits in here where the creator purposely leaves out shading and detailing techniques. Very disappointing.

[@vacabalo]

@@augustleo7434 Thanks for watching my video! I don't purposely leaves out shading and detailing techniques. I recorded every time I started a new stage or layer. If the technique is the same to paint other details, for example, using the same techniques to paint all wrinkles, then I showed in the video how to paint some wrinkles and skip the rest. I wish I could record the whole painting process for you but it would be 4-6 hours long including waiting time for the paper to dry before painting a new layer.

[@augustleo7434]

​@@vacabaloI watched a couple of your other videos and you DO NOT skip over the eyes, mouth, and nose. I apologize for the initial reaction - this is one of your best paintings and I suck at watercolor. Thank you for sharing your talents.

[@vacabalo]

@augustleo7434 Thank you! I don't plan too much on what I recorded and what I skipped. I just hit the record button when I started a new stage. I will keep in mind to record more feature detailing. Thanks for your feedback!

[@ulapettit6269]

Podmalowanie zaplanowanego portretu fotograficznego i manipulacja komputerową! Czyli pic i fotomontaż, tym to jest i nie ma się czym ekscytować.

[@vacabalo]

At least, thank you for watching the video and leaving your comment ☺️

[@lunz1343]

​@@vacabaloyou are very gracious in your reply to that unwarranted comment.

[@hjharte3996]

​@@lunz1343 I do agree with you ! @vacabalo, thanks for sharing your wonderful work, as watercolor painting is not that easy, I think, as a very beginner. Greetings from The Netherlands. Harley
