More on http://artpapa.com Classical oil painting technique video workshop, by Alexei Antonov. How to paint a portrait in the Flemish technique in the process of painting a portrait of a beautiful young woman. I believe that the quality of the color layer and the likeness to the model in this portrait are exceptional.

  • @TheCamelCollector Can you tell me how there is no rules to painting? if so, how did masters learn to paint?

  • technically their are rules to painting but it depends what is your style of painting is. classical styles are strict, impressionism is not so strict and modern painting really don't have restriction rules because of the many styles that have come out in the past 120 years. though art is judged by the knowledge of how it was created much like abstraction. all in all it is up to the painter to build his or her own rules much like the old masters. but it does not hurt to know certain techniques.

  • @CupidbiquO because the rules were developed by the old masters over a matter of time

  • Nice. I'm in that art part of YouTube again. xD

  • @MrThemedivalwarrior (continued) Leave a little space on the side of the face for the eye to be placed. Now, remember that the space between eyes is roughly one eye length. The tear ducts can act as a guide to measure the outer nose. Ears are located on the side between the eyebrows and the bottom of the nose, so the middle third of the face. If you want to learn more just email my channel. I would be happy to help out. :D

  • @MrThemedivalwarrior when drawing the face you want to start from big shapes to small shapes. Start off by lightly sketching the overall shape of the head. After you do that, you want to find out where the middle of the face is by LIGHTLY drawing a line down the middle. Then draw a line approximately 2/3 from the bottom. That is where the top of the eye brows are. The bottom of the nose is approximately 1/3 from the bottom. Next you want to figure out the size of the eye.

  • Great video!

  • cool

  • @CupidbiquO The ends justify the means.

  • Amazing stuff Alexei
