Not a single word spoken yet I learn so much from these videos. It’s a testament to all the time and effort you’ve put into your trade. And as always brilliant work, thank you.
Nice painting...tho how do you make the smoke transparent..never tried to paint smoke coz it looks kinda hard to make those waves and make it look realistic
I only know how to achieve this with oil paints. Here goes: - This is easier to achieve with a flat brush(es) - Clean your brush bristles with kerosene (or any other solvent) and wipe them clean and dry. - With paint on the brush, gently wipe the bristles on a different piece of canvas to leave very little paint on them and evenly spread it through the bristles. - Apply as though you're trying to rub it against the (by then, dry) painting. You can't do this when the rest of your painting is still wet. - As you apply it try to 'kill' all visible borders or lumps that may form - but if you wiped your brush well you won't have to deal with this. Ps: I sort of explained it in a recent Q&A here th-cam.com/video/DyyhAyIVsWY/w-d-xo.html Thanks for the compliment :)
I exaggerate them to begin with, just so you know. They're actually more like little bumps than pores/holes and other than on the nose and ears, they align in patterns, sometimes creasing into wrinkles. The important thing first is to follow those patterns all through and using small brushes (No.0-3 depending on the size of the painting) start with the shadows the pores cast (5:24-5:57), followed by the mid-tones (5:59-6:02) then finish up with the highlights (6:46-6:53). Explaining it in text may not do it justice so I'll do a video tutorial on this in not so long.
lovely painting my G. I've watched all your videos, i'm curious about the undercoat that you begin in black and white, does it have a purpose? and if so.. then why "delete" it at 3;44? Thanks in advance G.
That coat is the *underpainting* (also 'Grisaille'). In the first layer - the lines leading up to 0:51 - I get all the proportions right. In the second - the underpainting - I get the contrast right i.e. lights and darks; that is why I do it in monochrome (one color). Its main purpose, however, is to act as a base for the final layer and if you notice at 3:44 I don't completely cover it up. I instead apply a lighter coat of the final color that leaves the underpainting faintly visible underneath (hence the name) so it can guide me when applying the final (actually correct) colors later on. Ps: Recently in answering a different but related question I partly explained it here th-cam.com/video/DyyhAyIVsWY/w-d-xo.html
Hey Delores, the painting took ten days, and as for waiting, it doesn't apply to all layers but where necessary, a day is usually enough with oil paints (provided you paint using reasonably thin layers)
@@ClaversOdhiambo wow amazing! Thank you for answering 😊 . I just started oil painting and one thing I need to work on is patience with layering. You're my inspiration!

Beautiful... Its so impressive watching you give it life from scratch. I'm curious, How do you do the skin pores?? Cheer mate.👏
I exaggerate them to begin with, just so you know. They're actually more like little bumps than pores/holes and other than on the nose and ears, they align in patterns, sometimes creasing into wrinkles. The important thing first is to follow those patterns all through and using small brushes (No.0-3 depending on the size of the painting) start with the shadows the pores cast (5:24-5:57), followed by the mid-tones (5:59-6:02) then finish up with the highlights (6:46-6:53).

@@ClaversOdhiambo Thank you, i now have a rough idea on how to approach it. God bless.
Hi
How do you come up with smoke effect
lovely painting my G. I've watched all your videos, i'm curious about the undercoat that you begin in black and white, does it have a purpose? and if so.. then why "delete" it at 3;44? Thanks in advance G.

@@ClaversOdhiambo Thanks much, it was enlightening for sure
How long does this take you and how much time do you have to wait between layers
Hey Delores, the painting took ten days, and as for waiting, it doesn't apply to all layers but where necessary, a day is usually enough with oil paints (provided you paint using reasonably thin layers)
@@ClaversOdhiambo wow amazing! Thank you for answering 😊 . I just started oil painting and one thing I need to work on is patience with layering. You're my inspiration!
Oil or acrylic?
Acrylic flat background, oil/acrylic underpainting, oil final layer.
