[jetsonjoe]

great info on skin tones....are people even listening to what you have to say.

[hahasamehaha]

You're very amateur, and your signature ruins all of your paintings.

I just went out and bought a HUUUGE cowboy hat, so I expect my paintings to improve dramatically.

[theartofthecovenant]

the very second you put on that ridiculous hat.... you lost the integrity of the mission..... just sayin"... imo

@MARMARR1 Hmmm. Interesting. I just checked your page and didn't notice any examples of your work. I wonder why that is.

[MateWiggy]

I would imitate old masters school a little bit more, adds the charm and richness of expression

[MateWiggy]

Do you reckon the colour transitions are too smooth? Makes for a bit of poster like effect, doesn' it?

[konzwambii]

@MateWiggy  Hahahahahaha! "reckon"... now you're talkin' his lingo!

[antoniokabeity10]

do you mension what color u used

[Akenaw]

you should make a painting using only the primary colours and black and white. mix your own paint, instead of using pre-mixed colours.

[dgcasey0325]

@Akenaw Everyone has their own ideas when it comes to setting up a palette. I think there are as many palettes as there are artists. You like your primaries. I like a palette that has a warm and a cool version of each primary, along with white and usually burnt umber and maybe, if doing a landscape, some sap green. But, there is no "correct" palette. The correct palette is whatever you want on yours.

hi, this is very educative and easy to understand, thanks lancenporten, I live in mexico and models are latin brown flesh, what about the colors you use in the video can I use to get the latin skin? cause mine paintings look more red than brown. Please help me. I really like your paintings.

@VivaLaRevolucionViva

mix your own browns. start with the primary colours, make a dark brown, and add white to lighten it. re-add colours as needed.

or a simpler way, instead of just making brown,

make a sencondary colour based on the base of the skin. if the skin has a slightly red hue, make a green to mix with red (mix complimentary colours)

[borgabear]

If you stop painting through photographs and actually start to paint from life, you'll realize that titanium white, burnt umber, burnt sienna and cadmium red aren't the only colors that are present. There is secondary or reflective light in the shadows; a little bit of blue actually brings more life to the painting since blood is actually blue. Our eyes trick us into believing that these are the only colors present. This could mean the diff between a realistic painting & a good mechanical one

great vid, I'm a miniature painter but you gave me a few interesting ideas.

one day I'll be good enough to work on canvas but I have no idea where to even start.
