How to Paint Portraits in Oil Trailor

[aniknatsa]

It's was kinda annoying in the beginning because of his not funny jokes and coughing and uncleared voice. And where is underpaint?

[MrEzi0n]

My opinion is that you should have worked it all together..too much time spent working the eye socket without any general progress.

[tiilli]

i think he loves to paint :O

[akeithneal]

I am highly inspired by your patience and technique...

I am not an emotional man but the amount of joy and wonder that comes from watching you paint almost moves me to tears.

You are so patient with your art, do you always work like that, or only in tutorials? I have a problem with pacing myself, I keep working so fast to the point where I can't go on anymore. I wish I had patience with my art.

[sheldonsartacademy]

@bettyjoon3

Yes, slow and steady! I can work fast, but generally when and I work I am going at this pace. Its about keeping focused and relaxed, this is what i enjoy doing! Take your time and think before you put the pen down.

Thanks for the question.

[DanniCoconut]

Tht's the way I clean my oil brushes !!! :D

[alientrail]

don't eat the paint

[NinjaGiraffeAttack]

I wish I had a similar style as you.

I like the kind of crossover between realism and abstract, but I can't seem to do it! I always have to make sure all of my colors fade in and out of eachother. No harsh lines. Or else I'll throw it away.

But I do LOVE the way you did this. I simply don't know if I'd be able to use the same technique.

[sheldonsartacademy]

@NinjaGiraffeAttack

Relax and have fun

The viewers eye will go were ever the contrast is.

Keep the painting soft and then make one area sharp.

Kinda cool huh?

Talk soon

Shel

[srm8ib4]

how do you know so much anatomy? do you have a science background?

[sheldonsartacademy]

Nope

Just love anatomy

Kinda study it for fun.

Talk soon

Shel

[159tony]

@sheldonsartacademy did study it from a book? I am studying "human anatomy drawing guide" named book. it's very good and i've learned a lot from it.

[dougodude101]

hah what an intro " Just shoot the guy". Cheers for the vid

[kymrhymer]

SOOO PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iluvtomsturridge8579]

i wouldn't call the subject all that pretty.

[MissGingzRus]

You should draw me, ur such a good drawer, u inspire me. even thou im only 14 and im very bad at painting :(

[sheldonsartacademy]

I use the palette knife to mix paint.

It does sound like fun to do a painting with one.

I may give it a try.

Take care

Sheldon

[yarmamzer]

Finally another painter who doesn't use a darn palette knife! I don't have the patience but my professors are so meticulous o___o haha

[Valleyartify]

I have a question for you. I've had some issues with the initial graphite sketch contaminating and creating a shade of the color mix I intended to apply on the canvas. Am I laying down too much graphite? Or is there a specific technique?

[TheFutureLooksGrimm]

@Valleyartify What I do is put a thin watered down layer of gesso over my pencil sketch, or spray some fixative over it. One or the other. My painting 101 teacher gave me that tip when I asked him the same question you just asked.

[J4zzyG]

This guy is hilarious :L

[KazzyEss2k9]

you sound like robin williams

[loogkwan]

Very slow

[airscrew1]

One thing I love about oil paints is the smell. The turps, linseed oil and of course the paint. Makes you really feel like you're creating something, it's not the same using Corel Painter. These are excellent trailers sir!

[santawade]

@airscrew1 im sure u just getting high on turps watch yourself! lol

[ZenOneMike]

dude, that's cool.

[Mikehaelife]

Shoot him LOL!!!!

[kingofthieves772]

Too sick!

[paintbrush0300]

YEAH MY TEACHER PUT THAT OILY BRUSH IN THE TEA INSTEAD OF THE TURP HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA THAT WAS EPIC HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...... U REMINDED ME OF THAT MAN GREAT :)

[Auricdeath]

@paintbrush0300 What's wrong with you?

[airscrew1]

@paintbrush0300 I've done the same thing many times! LOL! Makes the tea taste better.. Make Tea Not War!

[HereisyourMother]

I have to say this has been one of the best step by step videos in portrait painting! Now I have a much better understanding of the mosaic technique as you described it. Many thanks for sharing. Learning to paint a portrait was never so much fun too:-)

Keep up your good work!!!

[Yusrararts]

very nice drawing ..

[Annaishmint]

haha your funny and an amazing artist

[atndybeach]

How much to canvas's cost. I want to buy one to start painting.
