Painting a Portrait for Sierra Club
I paint portraits for each quarterly issue of Sierra Magazine. This video shows the process, with some explanation along the way. The original piece is acrylic and colored pencil on 11x14 bristol paper. Feel free to ask questions below, I try to answer what I can!

Process video of a painting I recently completed for Dreyfuss & Blackford, an architecture firm in Berkeley, CA. In total, this took roughly 2 days to paint, and about a week of conceptualization and sketching. The finished painting is 24x18, acrylic and colored pencil on canvas. If you have comments about materials or process, please leave them below, thanks!
Painting Stanley Tucci for The Washington Post
มุมมอง 45K28 วันที่ผ่านมา
Here we discuss the illustration process for a commission I recently completed for The Washington Post. The assignment was to create a portrait of Stanley Tucci which would be published alongside an accompanying profile article. A bit of a ramble as usual, but I try to cover the conceptualization process, the drawing steps, and the thought process behind color decisions. The final work is acryl...

The painting begins with an underdrawing, done in Faber Castell pencils. Then sprayed (in a well ventilated area) with workable fixatif, to prevent the drawing from smudging. Painting begins using a muted green color as the undertone, with colors getting progressively brighter, defined, and detailed.

Walkthrough of my portrait painting process , from the drawing to finished painting. I was recently asked to create a couple portrait illustrations for Esquire UK, who I've worked with several times over the years. This art was completed using colored pencils, acrylic paint, and bristol vellum paper. Apologies for the overexposure on video- this page is, and always will be, a work in progress.
Making the Cover Art for Jon Benjamin's "Jazz Daredevil", from start to finish
มุมมอง 1.3K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
I was commissioned by Subpop Records to create the album artwork for H. Jon Benjamin's "Jazz Daredevil". Working with the art director, the assignment was to create a sort of 80's style film poster featuring the Jazz Daredevil and surrounding characters and scenes, for a film that has not yet been made. In the video, I describe the process of creating the painting, from sketch to drawing to com...

    I always really look forward to your videos and get so happy and excited wheb you put out a new one! I learn a lot and they're also very relaxing to watch! It'd be great if you could include your photographing process and setup of the final piece in a future video. Do you retouch it somehow on photoshop after you've photographed it?

    Hi Jon, I've really enjoyed watching all your videos. Love the loose, expressive underdrawing. I'm curious what happens to the originals for commissions. Do you send the original to the Sierra Club or whoever? Do you just scan it and email and keep the original? Ever gift it to the subject of the painting? Thanks

      I own the original- the commission is for using the art in print and online for Sierra Club. Sometimes the subject buys their portrait off me later, not all the time though. I own a lot of portraits of people I've never met. Appreciate the kind words!

      @artbyjonstich 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Appreciate the kind words- for portrait commissions, the reference is usually sent to me, unless it's a very recognizable person, in which case I work off many images/video stillframes and sort of frankenstein things together so that the painting captures the likeness but is unique in execution.

    I notice that in your reels on instagram you often really experiment with colours. But with most of your paid/serious work you just stick to those 4 or so primary colours. Are you making a conscious choice to keep to that style of colouring? Is it so that you can focus one the work itself (composition, story telling, etc)? Are you attempting to have all your work be harmonious? I'm just curious! your work is great and I emulate your approach quite abit :)

    • @artbyjonstich
      @artbyjonstich 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I pretty much always start with primary colors or a limited palette in general. The experimental stuff is just that, and bits and pieces of those exercises make themselves into all of the work in more subtle ways usually.
