    Hi, I am the son of two artists and began painting in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia before I could walk. I was a rare combination of artist and athlete so I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to play football for USC. I left the team my sophomore year to focus on painting and filmmaking, applying the same focus and discipline from my football career to my art. I primarily work in oils, and spend most free days painting "en plein air" in my new home of Sarasota Florida.

    Oddly enough I work primarily as a digital artist yet I find these trad tutorials more useful than than the digital ones. I think it's because they deal with the substantive nature of colour which really needs to be learned no matter what the medium.

      I actually tried this recently. For a couple or years or so I set my drawing Program's default canvas color to brown instead of white so it hurts my eyes less at night.
      I noticed whenever I used my airbrush or watercolor brushes my values were thin? I never used enough watercolor first of all until my last piece, but I could always see the brown showing through.
      And then in my latest piece I used a different color background and I realised using, at the very least, lighter backgrounds in general, just made everything look a lot better, as well as using a thicker opacity watercolor brush in general.
      All this time I forgot the background color was a factor xD

    Because it dries quicker than oils, I'll sometimes prep the canvas with a base color and block out basic shapes and colors with acrylic paint 1st, & then building on it with oils.

    I am on my third portrait painting (of the same subject too), I just started because I got a bunch of paint and supplies for free. I use a grid to sketch out the features to be the right proportions and then start with the darkest parts/biggest parts, then go back in for smaller spots and then detail, since I’m not finished on the third portrait I’m not sure how it will look but already compared to the first two I did, it’s SO much better! My first two almost looked like barbies with their features, but this third one has a much more realistic look to it. I’m hoping to paint like Rembrandt, his portraits are my favorite. I’ve been teaching myself to draw portraits for a few years but hadn’t made much progress until quarantine happened

    Thankyou Chris some excellent tips, I did have a fear of drawing without gridding at the start but I began pencil drawing and practicing and then started to draw my portraits freehand, I find the drawing now so enjoyable once I stopped being afraid of not getting it right, taking your time on the drawing and if its not right you can always wipe it and start over.

    I absolutely love your videos and took your fundamentals course. This video is especially helpful as I am trying to hone my portrait skills. I get so close as I have developed my drawing skills and learned how to see a subject, I find that I can't always translate what I see to what I can paint. I'd love to see you talk a bit more about the detail work - loading and controlling your brush for those thin lines and hitting the color notes that bring a face to life. Thank you!

    I'm going to attempt my very first portrait. I'm nervous it won't turn out good, but I know I need to expand my subject matter if I expect to become a better artist. Last night, I painted a hand with a butterfly and some flowers. Painting that hand was HARD. The painting sucked, but I learned a lot from it. I'm just going to take this portrait I'm about to attempt as a learning experience.

  • @RatusMax
    @RatusMax 3 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    The biggest problem I would say beginners (like myself that's why I comment just in case someone can relate) have is not painting what they see. I can only go by my own experience though. When I see a person my mind tries to super simplify everything. So it makes a rough image in my head to what I SAW. When I stare at the canvas and NOT THE SUBJECT for too long I start painting the image that has formed in my head.
    For example look at something for about 10 seconds then walk away from it and try to draw it from what you recollect about it. Now go walk back to that object. Looks bad doesn't it?
    THAT RECOLLECTION OF THE IMAGE IS WHAT YOU DONT WANT TO PULL FROM WHEN YOU PAINT/DRAW/ETC!!! THIS IS WHAT IS RUINING YOUR PAINTINGS/DRAWINGS!!!
    EDIT: Think about how a computer screen works. What if your screen refreshed every 10 seconds, would that 10 second image be useful in an First Person Shooter? Could you think trying to make a decision on something you saw 10 seconds ago? Heck NO! The screen is constantly being refreshed 60 times per second. Hell some people do 144+ times per second. This is because they want to make sure they are constantly viewing an object in REAL TIME so that they can make a decision. THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WHEN PAINTING!!! SWITCH BETWEEN THE SUBJECT AND THE CANVAS WHILE PAINTING STROKES!! :END EDIT
    The way to stop that is to look at the subject most of the time and glance at your canvas. If you are PAINTING AND LOOKING at the canvas for more than 4 seconds, you are painting a recollection of the subject and not the subject itself.
    You can look at your canvas for however long you want to compare it with the subject. However, once you start painting you best be getting the eyes moving back and forth.
    Paint Coach solves this problem by bouncing around the painting and never dwelling to much on one area.
    If you spend too much time on one area that will cause that brain recollection to kick in and ruin your painting.
    To me painting is a fight between what I see in front of me vs what my brain recollects me seeing. My best paintings come out when I dissolve the world into alien objects that light bounces off of in various ways. I am constantly looking at the subject most of the time and letting my arm movement follow what I see in front of me. I don't even think about the hand or arm movement as it is suppose to adhere to the subject in front of me.
    When you are thinking about your hand movement, you are more likely to go back into brain recollection and not actually paint the subject. So what I did to solve this was to paint with my non-dominant arm. When I did this, my arm movements were so interesting, so strange, so different. The way it solved (because I still don't have a damn clue how it happened) how to capture form was angelic, liberating. All the worry, doubt, planning, etc. of how my hand was suppose to move was thrown out the window. I no longer stared at the canvas and continue to draw a recollection of what I saw. I could focus on the subject and whatever my hand was doing, I didn't care!!
    You have to really let go and let your hand follow the shape of the subject. Then after like a week I went back to my dominant hand and then I was able to incorporate both styles into one.

    2:02 Off. That was my mistake.
    I came to this video looking for tricks after my particular mess.
    I transfer a portrait onto watercolor paper, and oh my that was a beautiful drawing, she has the perfect expression, the woman was recognizable.
    But when I finished painting, it has nothing to do with it, the subject was no longer there. What went wrong??
    Sometimes painting is expression, and the illussion of it! Something more similar could actually become less similar, in lack of expression and smart choices.

    How do you determine the color zones for the rest of the body? The explanation with the fae makes sense, but how do you determine with hands, arms, the torso, etc? Is it knowing where major collections of fatcells or blood vessels are or is there something else to help figure that out?

    Hello Chris, would your course on Patreon help me if I wanted to paint with Acrylics instead of Oils? Is it too much of a difference?

    what is this paint thinner? if we use it can we mix it with water or do we have to take it crude for painting?

    @paint coach beginner here. Im taking your course, have been watching videos and practicing. I got some brushes from Amazon but the bristles are coming off on my paintings! Is there a specific kit on Rosemary & co you suggest? I don’t know where to begin on there lol

    How do I work in a way that I never have to wait for the paint to dry? By knowing when and how much paint thinner to use?

      Use galkyd instead. It’s wonderful for speeding up drying time. As for how much to use, I like to dip just the tip of my brush in and mix it into each individual color I’m using. I swear it’s like liquid gold. Went from an average drying time of two months to a day

    Trying to get better. I draw pretty well but, when it comes to portraits I stink. I want to be able to free hand. How long did it take you?

    can this be achieved with acrylics? i havent gotten into oil painting just yet but want to get in more realistic style painting. i know that oils tend to dry slower so it give range for mixing and overlaying as opposed to acrylics but can i still apply these techniques with acrylics? or does anyone have any suggestions for painting with acrylics?

      You can buy a mix in for your acrylics to make them dry slower, behaving more like oil paints

    I don’t think "identify the big shapes" can be overstated.
