Nice painting, reminds me of when I used to watch bob ross back in the day... Do you ever use air brushes in your work?

[lindseycormier]

Thank you. I've never used an airbrush before, I'd like to try them sometime.

between 2;03 and 2;04 her skin color changed, I assume it was the light? I like your technique how you make a circle and make the face.Thats the right way :) 10-15 hours? I know its a lof of work because you have to wait to dry.

[lindseycormier]

Thanks for watching!

The skin color changed because I re-painted it. I didn't like the way I painted it the first time. I didn't include that part in the video so it just jumps.

It took me 10-15 hours because I'm a perfectionist. I repaint sections all the time so it probably takes me twice as long compared to someone who is satisfied with their first brush strokes. The paints I use dry almost instantly so drying time's not an issue.

[arkano01]

that was really awesome, but what kind of technique did you use?? is that oil? or acrylic??

[lindseycormier]

Thanks! I used acrylic paints on canvas for this one. I paint in many layers, starting with dark colors going to light colors. Each layer is a little bit lighter in value than the layer beneath it. I use a "dry brush" technique for blending (using a dry brush with a little paint and then scrubbing it into the surface.) Hope that answers your question :)

[EdyPegasus]

How long did it take you to paint it.

[lindseycormier]

Probably about 10-15 hours. I didn't keep track but I spent a few days working on it off and on. This video only shows snippets of me working on it.

Beautiful painting. I love that her wings are leaves.

[lindseycormier]

Thanks!

[Ginasart]

thankyou i loved this art work im learning the same way practice every day

[lindseycormier]

Thanks! Yup, practice is the best way to learn!

[skang144]

so which art school did you attend?

[lindseycormier]

I never went to an art school. I took a few classes at the college I attended but I learned a lot of what I know from books,the internet, and lots of practice, hehe.

[CinnamonGaze]

I'm speechless... her wings looked amazing, and the music matched the autumn mood :))) What kind of paints and paper do you use?

[lindseycormier]

Thanks! In this video I'm using acrylic paints. I use a few different brands, but my favorites are Liquitex Soft Body and Golden Fluid. I'm painting on a flat sheet of canvas. It comes in pads by a company called Fredrix.
