Not a step out of place. The work of a truly professional artist. In fact completely faultless.
Thank you for allowing me to see your process and a face come to life from colors on paper. Very exciting! And what an awesome artist you are!
I really appreciate that I can see the bone structure coming to life as you create the face. Inspiring to watch.
its great to see a picture being created at a normal speed. we are able to learn far more about the techniques. thankyou!
Thank you!
Awesome! For a novice and always afraid of water colors is a great inspiration.
1. The speed of the video was just right. I could see almost each stroke of yours. I could actually see you thinking after loading the brush before making a stroke.
2. Very methodical, from start to finish. Easy to follow you in the sense understanding what you are 'saying ' without a word.
3. No distraction in terms of any music or words. For me a great help to focus on your hand.
I can go on and on....but great demo for sure and at this moment I am determined to try today a small portrait! Motivating, for sure.
Thank you Christine!
Thank you so much, Pratima, I very much appreciate your lovely comment! Means a lot to me! Happy painting, I am glad it inspires you!
WOW and you did it all with just two brushes. And they didn't even look like expensive brushes. That was amazing.
Just regular brushes, nothing really expensive :) Thanks so much Shane!
Ich liebe dein Malen, du bist eine grosse Künstlerin !
Very inspiring. I hope someday I'll be that good 😍
I learned a lot from your demonstration. I am a newbie at this and I really picked up a lot watching your video. Thank you.
Thank you!
This was an excellent video! I loved watching that face come to life. I'm looking forward to putting into practice what I've learned from watching you paint.... Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you, Mark! Happy painting :)
it's very very great artwork. you did beautifully, i love how you used watercolor and it looks very real
Wow. Gorgeous!
OMG, GREAT!!! IT`S REALLY GOOD LESSON HOW TO DRAW HAVING ONLY 2 BRUSHES! I LIKE IT SO MUCH!
Thank you!
Nice artwork, Watching while I paint. Keep up the awesome videos!
Thanks :) Happy painting!
Absolutely wonderful to observe your beautiful talent. Thanks for sharing your demonstration in real time. Love observing your technique. Definitely subscribing and watching your other videos. Thanks!
Thanks so much Rich!
This is so useful, thank you. I wish we could see your palette.
Thank you! Will try to show my mixing palette in future :)
I did just find some videos right after you sent that where you had shown it! Thank you!
WOW. Your colouring technique is so fast and beautiful
Its like pieces of puzzle like colours forging together creating this. Its inspiring :)
Thank you very much, Peter! I am happy you enjoyed it :)
you're very talented, great technique, great video!
Thanks so much Alan!
Felicitaciones.
Fine demo....sanjay patil india
Thanks
So beautiful ! You are a sculptor with a paint brush.
How do you know when you're done? I love it at minute 26, but it kept getting better and better! I tend to fuss too long.... when I should have stopped, ugh!
I guess experience helps, but mostly when it feels right. Try to finish your painting but not to overdue it by going over and over again, there is a point where you just need to let go, even when you don't like how it looks - leave it, next one will be better! I have had many paintings I didn't like and later looking back again I thought not so bad :)
nice
Great video learned a lot. Please put you color pallet in front of camera so we can see how you play with colours....
Thanks :)
Incredible to watch,thank you so much for making this video Christine! What is that white handled brush you use?
Oh,and do you stretch your paper beforehand? It never seems to cockle...
ahhahahah never seems to! good question!
It's 3/4" Royal & Langnickel flat brush (materials list is in video description) But you can use any brush you are comfortable with - I just like the bigger flat one because when I turn it the strokes are either thin or wide, whatever I need at this moment. I tape my paper before I start. It always depends how much water I use. In this one I didn't wet the paper, so it cockles less, but it still does a little - I guess it's not visible in the video because my light comes from above. When working wet on wet it buckles more (like my previous video), but I just work with it :)
Really? Wet on wet buckles more?? Thought it'd be less so...I've got a lot to learn still. I know what you mean about using wide brushes for detail - I often use a calligraphy-nib drawing pen for the same reason. And just a simple cheap Royal & Langnickel eh? That's reassuring then!😊
Mind you,Grumbacher brushes ain't so cheap...😯
The more water the more the paper buckles, at least when I paint :) All the best Tim! Happy painting!
I LOve your videos, have you made any with your voice over it explaining what you are doing?
Thank you so much
Thank you!
Your videos are truly amazing. When you do your sketch at the beginning before you wet your paper what are you drawing with?
Hi Karen, thank you! I use regular HB pencil (mechanical usually).
Awesome painting , plz can you tell me which color use for layering step by step.
Thank you! Here is a video where you can see how I mix the colors: th-cam.com/video/_BpeIGGdgpw/w-d-xo.html
The portrait is fantastic. Next time maybe you could keep the board from shaking...I was getting seasick!
Awesome!
Thanks! :)
hii, i am from India.i can get only three, yellow ochre,burnt sienna , and prussian blue. how can i get others? which brand is available here?pl suggest.thank u artist
Sorry, I have no idea, I live in Canada. Try to contact local artists and ask them where they get their paints from!? But you can also mix many colours with those three colours!
Like.will keep watching your video. Thanks.
Thank you :)
great tutorial
Thanks :)
What was the very first color you started with? It looks like a combo of maybe burnt umber and yellow ochre but I can't really tell. Love this by the way!
Hi Danica! Thank you! Yes, it is a mix of burnt umber, yellow ochre, brown madder and some darker paint mix on my palette - I made a video about how I usually mix skin colors, if you like check it out: th-cam.com/video/-ge6z4Z3OV8/w-d-xo.html
Awesome. Thanks for replying!
I had another question: what side of the paper is better for watercolor? Texture or smooth side? I'm partial to tooth side up since I'm mostly an acrylic painter but I'm learning more watercolor. What do you like more?
For watercolor I use the top side of watercolor paper, which is usually meant to be painted. But I know what you mean - watercolor paper back side is perfect for acrylic :) Watercolor paper is a topic for itself - there are many youtube videos which explain it pretty well. For me it depends what I am painting - how loose or detailed I want to go - I have my favourite papers for just watercolor, then again different paper for mixed media and illustrations.
Christine, which brand is your brown madder alizarin???? cannot find it anywhere!!! do you know a substitute???
It's Grumbacher, but you can use anything reddish-brownish-burgundy.
Thank you.
Which paper use better for water colour painting.
Watercolor paper - the thicker ones (300g/140lb) work better.
@@chkarron thanks a lot
What grade of Strathmore paper was this? (300 series 400 series etc)
400 series.
Thank you. It's a very beautiful piece.
Man who are you depicted like as criminal
I am sorry she is a woman with red hair
