Abstract Portrait Technique... Black, White and Gold!

  • Hey everyone!
    It's been 3 weeks since my last video. I was quite ill for over two weeks with a nasty virus which attacked my lungs. However, I am back to normal (whatever that is) and I'm really pleased with this abstract portrait.
    I decided to do a black, white and gold theme because up here in the northeast it's relatively colorless outside. I like the idea of black and white with a splash of color in the mix so that's what I decided to do.
    I'm using Golden Open Acrylics for this entire painting with the exception of one color... Iridescent bronze (looks like gold) by Golden.
    I hope you enjoy the video!!! If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments!

    Oh my goodness!!! This is stunning on so many different levels. The painting process was art unto itself to watch. The music you chose to go along with it was magical. Everything was. The world would be a boring place without Lydia Broderick!!

    Oh my goodness, this was absolutely magical to watch! The painting, I honestly don’t have words, it’s just mind blowing. Lydia, I really hope you know how incredible you are?
    The music you chose to go with this piece is simply beautiful. I felt like I was watching a scene from Edward Scissor hands, your production was THAT good Lydia.
    Thank you for this amazing experience and thank you for your art. 🫶🏻🙏🏻✨

    Oh wow! Lydia, you have done it again! To watch you paint is to watch MAGIC happen! I don’t even know what to say. In the blink on an eye I see a plain black canvas turn into a masterpiece. I ABSOLUTELY love this painting done in grays. I think now I want to run and buy a black canvas!

    Have we gotten snow yet? LOLOLOLOL!!! We got freezing rain on December 1st, immediately followed by 4" of snow, and then had snow every day for about 5 days after that. Until this Saturday night, when we had rain, we had an entire week of total winter wonderland! The trees were so laden with snow, and getting heavier every day, that some had bent right over to the ground. South of me some of the trees were breaking off, some limbs off, though not so much up my way. It was absolutely spectacular and everybody's Facebook pages were full of stunning photos. Everytime I had to go out I was just in awe of the beauty, and the hush all around. We got a bit more snow up here (I'm on the windward side of "mountain") last night/this morning, so it doesn't look quite as bleak as it looked yesterday. I don't think I've ever had an entire week of such beautiful winter landscapes before. Hope you get some soon, too! I imagine out on the Cape you don't get as much. And it sure changes the light for painting!

      Wow!!! Sounds beautiful! We actually did get some snow last week. Not much, but enough to make everything magical for a few days. We usually get more snow after the New Year. It can be hit or miss though. We either get buried or it rains. It's that whole "sticking out into the ocean" thing. 😂

      @@lydiabroderick867 So glad to hear that you had some magical days too! I'm guessing your weather is similar to Newfoundland's. They get a lot of wind off the Atlantic on the east coast, so everyone wears what we call "toques" (two-ks - rhymes with spooks). I spent Christmas and New Year visiting a friend there many years ago. Have a fabulous Christmas, and maybe after New Year's you can have some nice snow without being buried! Ciao bella!

    Beautiful, love the imagery. I have always been fascinated by crows and magpies ever since I (a 6 year old) first met Aunty Rina, a neighbouring farmer that had 2 x tame crows, 1 black and 1 with the white chest.
    When she drove to the corn fields in her (bakkie) truck, the crows would fly above the truck and her greyhounds would be running next to and behind the truck. Our local labourers must have thought she was part witch. Thanks for triggering the memory❤ I hope you feel better soon 🌹

    Hello LYDIA, you are back!!!! I am so glad you are feeling better. 🍜I am sitting here in awe at how you produced this in a week. Would have taken me months. I do envy you how you just pull a rabbit out of your hat and produce work like this. You know what I am going to say. I love the classic white and black and gold combo. It almost has a goddess/oriental feel to it. (the symbols to the left side). You are amazing and are producing amazing work. Good job. ❤

    from what i can tell on the video, your use of acrylic has improved every time you have used it. I think you had so much time in oil that you naturally seemed to be more comfortable with it, but you have got acrylic down pat (do you say that in the US or is it a Bri expression?) anyway, just lovely.

    • @lydiabroderick867
      @lydiabroderick867  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi and thank you! If you use a reference photo, try to find faces that have good light and shadow. I try to break faces down into shapes instead of features. Sometimes flipping it upside down will help. I tend to use straighter lines when sketching faces. Curved lines can make a sketch look more cartoonish. It can be hard at first to train your brain to see a face as being a puzzle of shapes and colors, but that's what helped me draw them more accurately. I hope that makes sense and helps.🤗
