Here is a Material list for you: I tend to use a mix of Artist's quality Windsor & Newton and Michael Harding paints. The latter being my favourite choice as he makes them like the old masters did many years ago.
Please note: if you are just starting out, and price of materials are an issue, I would recommend the Windsor & Newton *Winton series... these have the same quality pigment as the Winsor & Newton Artists series but less of it, there are more fillers and extenders in them but the quality is still there at a smaller cost... just click on any link below and search for them as the cheaper option. The more expensive option below, the benefits are, they last longer as they are super rich in pigment and they are amazing to work with.

The painting is outstanding and Finally! Someone that speaks normal😂
Lol, yeah I am down to earth for sure😂 ... Thank you for your kind words... all the very best 🥰🙏
Indeed, and minus any unnecessary music.
Hi David. I appreciate your Great Art 🎨 work a lit. I , too ,am an Artist. Specialised in Realistic Paintings and particularly Portraits. So, I would like you to dhow more tutorials like this one , where you brilliantly convey how to mix the best skin tones in order to create dramatic and outstanding finish in these Amazing Portraits.
Thank you very much!
And Congratulations ❤🎨👏👏👍😇💋
Hi Marina, thrilled you like my art so much. Oil tutorials are mainly on my Patreon as exclusive Realtime auto and video where I upload two a month. TH-cam is mainly for my Pastel work. Thank you for watching... all the very best Dave🙏
Thanks a lot for sharing your precious knowledge and skills. First time I see that someone is trying to teach in so easy way, again thanks.
You are welcome Adeeba, I love to share and keep things nice and straight forward. 🙏
This is a great guide as other painters convolute their lessons with different barriers and color ranges, you just dove right into it without “starting with the dark areas” or using only 3 colors for the painting, I hope other artists find this within time as it really helps with showing how easy painting is while hitting all the right marks to get a nice outcome
Thank you so much for the kind feedback. In the 80's I researched how the Old masters used a simple palette. I use the same colour in all the mediums I create with. I like to keep things simple and straight forward. All the very best 🙏
You have such a comforting voice
Thank you for the reassuring words Lisa. I try to speak from my heart like the way I paint. 😊🙏
I really enjoy your calm style. I started oil painting back in 2016. Set them down for a bit. Today I had a very important commission of a landscape, river, with people I know in a boat. Tiny people faces are not my favorite. Getting the detail to make it look like the correct person in such a small space was quite a challenge. I was looking for new ideas on how to build a skin tone palette to assist, and yours was it. The people are in the boat. God Bless. Subscribed!
Hi Vicky... what wonderful feedback... so thrilled that my straight forward way to skin tones has helped you with your commission... all the very best... thanks for the sub and watching my video. 🙏
Brilliant, I recently picked up my brushes again after a 20 year hiatus and am excited by Dave’s approach to portrait painting. I’ve never tackled portraits and Dave has excited me that much with his approach I’m finding myself getting up at 4 am to enjoy the experience and his videos . Thank You.
Wonderful new John, thrilled my technique has given you inspiration to start portraiture painting. All the very best 🙏
You are amazing artist and I love your voice is very calming. 😊
Thanks for the reassuring feedback... thank you so much for watching 🙏

It is easy to be frightened and intimidated by the mere mention of oil painting but your tutorials take away all the preconceptions and make this one of the most relaxing and enjoyable pastimes anyone can do if you just breathe and open your heart. Brilliant again Dave.

You are an awesome artist! Can these same techniques be used with acrylics?
I have not done many Acrylics, What I have produced was using the same approach without the long wait with drying times. All the best. 🙏
I'm seriously studying your work to learn from. Question: Some youtube sites say emphatically, that Liquin fumes are highly poisonous and carcinogenic. Since you are a wise man and have an open container of Liquin on your palette, you must be breathing in some fumes, help me to understand .... Have you used it many years? How do you stay safe? I only ask because I want to paint along with you to learn from you and I would love to use Liquin to speed my oils drying time.
Hi Joyce, Thrilled you like my technique. I have heard the same. My bottle of Liquin has no health warning printed on the label. For about 13 years from the age of around 20 I slept in the same room where I painted and used a lot of liquin in those days... I always kept a window open, there is a slight smell with liquin but I never had a problem unlike turps and white spirit where I found it hard to breath using them. I only put a small amount of Liquin in the paint now. Mostly I paint with no medium at all... this has been possible by using Michael Harding paints, they are buttery ( made like the old masters used) and not as dry like the Artists quality Windsor and Newton brand. All the very best 🙏
Thank you very much for a very informative v. I enjoyed watching you paint and liked your way of commenting, it’s the mineral spirit and turpentine that are toxic not the liquin. Thank you for sharing your experience and I have subscribed to your channel.
Hi again , please can you let me know what lake are your brushes especially the small round ones you used for glazing , many thanks 🙏
Just came across your channel. Enjoyed very much of your wonderful videos of oil painting. I learn acrylic portrait painting from last year. Never touch any oil painting. Can I follow your steps using acrylic paints? What about signing up your oil painting lessons but learn to do my acrylic painting?
Hi there welcome to my channel... my technique applies across all mediums. The colour I use etc. All yhe very best Dave. 🥰
You are amazing artist😍On what material did you paint this,cause I tried on a white backround and cant see colors🤣
Thank you for the kind words... if you check out this video on the surface I use I talk all about what you are asking for... here is a quick link... th-cam.com/video/xdYV9zcYilM/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching 🙏
How do you feel about the color study? I notice the reference is warner than the study. Was that a conscious decision to bring the piece back into the real world from a digital display? Beautiful work, I see you didn't do any formal color matching and just experimented towards your colors. This looks like a fun and liberating approach, though I feel I'm not at that level yet.
Hi Kevin, it is an issue I have with different devices seeing different things. the colour is the same as reference in real life, but the video camera sees it different... I am constantly trying to improve my editing skills. It is a fun technique very flexible and liberating too. give it a go it is easier than you think. 🙏
@DavePortersArt I've subscribed. In my journey I recently only became aware of the importance of color. Before I would just select the colors arbitrarily, but lately I've been really into trying to exactly replicare the colors of a reference. My worry it that I revert to just using what I think the color is rather than what the color actually is. Absolutely the end goal is to confidently and organiganicslly color match when possible. Ill try to step out of my confort zone and give it a shot soon. I also work with colored pencils often and there you have no choice but to be bold with colors.
Hello there! I really enjoyed this video! Entertained the entire time. What did you use for your palette? I can’t make out what it is 😊 wood? Or metal?
Hi Jack... thanks for the great feedback... reassuring to know that the video comes across so. The palette is a plastic one. I have a large wooden on to I sometimes use for large paintings. All the very best. Thanks for watching 🙏
@@DavePortersArt thanks so much for the speedy response! I’m new to the painting world and trying to absorb as much knowledge as I can! Looking forward to future videos! Keep up the great work 😍
@@jacksparrowarrrr Hi Jack... I have made a decision to just create oil painting videos for my Patreon. Please check this link if you would like to know more. If you support me on Patreon it will unlock all the oil painting tutorials on offer... here is the link... https//:daveportersart.co.uk all the very best. 🙏
Question: is painting a portrait like the way you do also possible with acrylic paint?
The way I mix colours will work with any medium... all the best 🙏
Liquin? What's that?! :/
It is a Artist Medium made by Winsor & Newton... fast drying and improves the flow. Good for glazing.
Is that a hat jumping into the instruction?
