It is my intention to publish in the future even more of everything I know about portrait painting .
And I want this information to be free for everyone. Some compensation for my efforts comes from the publicity which you see appearing occasionally. I hope you don't find it too annoying.
Until now I received the most nice and grateful reactions from all over the world.
And that gives me a lot of satisfaction.
In my blog you will find even more information about portrait painting and a free eBook “One hundred portraits”: www.paintingportraittips.com

Thank you , sir. Very nice and instructive lesson.
One of the best portrait painting tutorials. I watched the entire video to gather as much tips as possible for my next commission.
Glad it was helpful
This is exquisite. Thank you for posting. It has inspired me to try the oils for a figure study. I love how you use a small palette of colors and mix lots of tones... it doesn't seem overwhelming.This is truly wonderful to watch... Music is very nice too... very gentle.
Thank you for your nice comment
I love the "Tea time" timestamp
So helpful to hear your thoughts and watch your process. I could watch you for hours... and I do.Thank you!
You are welcome.
Thank you so much for giving us the pleasure to watch your tutorial...excelent painting . God bless you.
You are welcome.
How grateful I am.
I lived 9 yrs in Nederlands and wished everyday I’d have casually met an artist such as yourself to encourage and show me the way.
Now we have internet. That helps also.
Is it Nederlands or Netherlands?
Huge thanks! I have watched many TH-cam tutorials and I have to say, I loved, loved, loved your many tips and explanations along the way. Much appreciated! So generous of you x
Thank you Chris.
Wow. Just lovely. ❤️ Thank you for sharing your gift and for such a relaxing and meaningful video.
Thank you Duska
C'est merveilleux de vous voir peindre! J'ai énormément appris, maintenant, il me reste a essayer de mettre en pratique ce que vous m'avez appris. Merci infiniment
Merci a vous
Thank you! You have a wonderful way of communicating and simplifying the language of a painting. Her skin sings and her eyes just draw you in, it’s lovely piece of art.
Thank you Louise.
I'm gonna start my first portrait after this tut and I'm sure I'm gonna outdone myself this time and thanks to you for your generosity , few Artists share kind of knowledge for free
Thank you Aya. After summer more.
Thank you for showing your whole process and thoughts. I've been painting on my own for three years and this really filled in some blanks for me. And, you are very easy to listen to!
Thank you for letting me know
Thank you for being our virtual mentor, Sir! Learned a lot from your techniques. More power!
great to hear.
Thank you so much. This video at a normal speed with all those perfect and clear explications are a great gift. The use of the colors and theirs combinations seems to me even more usefull than the paint. A big lesson to progress. Thank you for sharing your time. You are a painter and a teacher
iIs my pleasure. Thank you
Thank you very much for sharing this (and all of your) video. You have a friend from Hungary, who's been painting for some 50 years.And can learn a lot from you.
Thank you Ferenc.
Your comments sharing with us your thoughts every step of the way make things a lot easier to understand and to digest. Thank you for that Ben. Amazing work!
Thank you Eliot
Your patience is greatly appreciated, Ben, for these two long hours of work. Excellent!!
Thank you.
Thank you for this. There are so many snippets of tutorials or sped up clips on TH-cam - it's great to see one complete start-to-finish, and at a speed where you can follow what is happening.
Your relaxed style really helps with imparting the information.
And, of course, it doesn't hurt that you are so good at what you do :)
Thank you for your nice words.
Dear Mr. Lustenhouwer, It's a wonderful tutorial and demonstration. Many, many thanks for your excellent explanations. Its a marvelous work and I will be going through again to find anything I missed.
You are very welcome
Thank you for your generosity. His effort to transmit his knowledge is truly admirable.
Thank you Antonio.
I'd like to add my thanks to all the others you have received for this and all your other tutorials.you are very generous with your time and I'm guessing that is because you want to give back some of what you feel art has given you, everyone who watches can't fail to learn many thanks again.
You're very welcome! Mike.
Where have you been all my life?! Thank you. 🙏🏻
My feelings exactly. I see some comments 8 years old. Why have I just found this?
It is impossible for the lower middle class in some Asian countries to buy such a good lesson with the equivalent of foreign money. So many many thanks Master for helping with these free lessons. 🙏🙏🙏
Special for you! and more to come.
This is, by far, the most brilliant painting tutorial on the internet.
Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge with those of us who love art but don't have much money.
And thanks as well to Will Sophi for the delightful music.
You're very welcome!
Thank you, what you've created here is a gift for aspiring artists all over the world. For me this is so wonderful to be able to watch an experienced artist paint start to finish, I live in a rural area where this isn't something I could do in person. I know I'll be watching parts of this probably many times to catch all the tips again. Thank you so much!
Glad you like it
some day in the future, I'll be able to complete a beautiful portrait like this in just 2hrs and 19 minutes. This was very informative to watch. Thanks you!!
You are welcome.
Your generosity in sharing your great talent and knowledge is a wonderful gift to artists and art lovers. I believe the journey for any artist is an ongoing process of learning. Thank you for making the days of confinement so much more tolerable. Your brother-in-laws music is the magic touch to a peaceful presentation.
Thank you for your kins words.
Priceless! Every minute is packed with information. Just can't absorb this in one sitting. I need to see this several times. A thousand thanks!
Good to hear!
We love the music ! It fits perfectly to enhance the thinking process. It relaxes us to take in your reasoning process of lights & darks and where you put something when you put something! Please continue to teach us. We love your slow methodical method. We learn so much more this way !
Thank you Robert
A Master Always Makes It Look Easy. Thankyou
ERIC

thank you!
Thanks for your generosity with this tutorial, Ben. I have been following your videos and tips for some time and appreciate your work.
It is my pleasure Tim.
This is the first video I have ever watched of you painting. Your ability to see and create all the gradations of color is incredible! Thank you for a most satisfying two hours. The subject of your portrait is very lucky to have your sensitive interpretation of her beauty.
Thank you so much Julie.
Thanks a million for sharing your experience and many tips that not many masters share with all their expertise as have you these days. Greetings from Mexico
Muchas gracias. Un abrazo desde España.

This is amazing 😯😃👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻
Ben, thank you! This is one of the most instructive videos i’ve seen in the past year.
Nice to hear David.
I watched the entire step-by-step portrait painting. I so admire your technique starting from your charcoal sketch to the color application. Just a piece of cake for someone who's gifted.
I didn't have the patience to focus on details back in the day in college. I like your work, sir.
Thank you Jun.
Thank you so much!! Pure gold!

I am so grateful for your generosity !! You have no idea how grateful I am!
Thank you Yuri!
Thank you, Ben, for your pedagogical explanation! Beautiful, I love it.
My pleasure!

thank you so much.

Thank you very much!
Excelente y muy didactica obra. Gracias Ben !!!. Eres una gran persona y mejor artista.
Un placer.
Gracias por su trabajo y por enseñarnos tan magnífico trabajo. He aprendido muchísimo. Gracias de corazón. Un saludo desde Extremadura.
Muchas gracias Miguel Ángel. Saludos desde Valencia.
This is amazing. A lot of people are going to be making much better artwork because of your generosity and hard work. I heard a quote recently attributed to Edgar Degas where he said something along the lines of "A real artist is one who inspires other people". That definitely applies to you. Thank you and take care.
Thank you for your kind words.
Omg that is so true, just look at bob ross. He hangs in the Smithsonian now, and as much as his style is easy to do, and people might argue that his art is not high art, he was still a master of it. Anyway, I can't draw for jack and know little about how to mix colors etc, but bob ross got me into oil painting, and the rate at which you progress..like just paint the same painting two or three times and you will see a rapid improvement. Just start with the instructional video which teaches you how to load the brush and knife properly and how to press the brush into the canvas etc because that is really important, but yeah...I agree completely.
thank you.. master..
My pleasure.
I follow a few artists here in youtube. And always considered your work a class apart from all others. Somehow your painting gives the model a kind of inner glow. So your work is not just an exact replica/ alternative of a mere photograph. Somewhere your choice of colors and strokes add a whole new dimension to the model. I don't have words to express how much I admire and respect your artwork. Never thought we would have a free tutorial here. Just cannot thank you enough for your generosity Sir. Also thank you for sharing the little words of wisdom, "if it is worth painting, it is worth planning", "keep your kitchen clean".... They apply to all aspects of life ! Thank you so much and sending you warmest wishes for good health and peace.
Thank you Frank for your kind words.
STUNNING
Absolutely stunning!! I’m a beginner oil painter, your work inspires me!!
Nice to hear.
It was always a mystery for me that how you get all this effects ........
Thank you and I feel that I am lucky to find you on internet
Its my pleasure
Thank you! What a master! I’m so happy you didn’t speed up the video as I learnt a lot this way.
Thank you. Sometime I have to speed up because of the limited time. I try to upload every week a demonstration.
Thank you sir for giving me such inspiration with your fabulous paintings! I truly admire you!
Thank you. it is my pleasure.
Thank you very much for this,sir. It is going to be really helpful for many new artist like me. i personally want to see a video about mediums and their proper use in painting OR a video about how u clean and care your brushes. Love from Bangladesh.
maybe in the future.
Amazing gesture, thank you so much Ben! This will help me out a lot. Also I wanted to let you know your pronunciation of stingy is wrong. The G is said as a J. However when it comes to videos and sharing your artistic knowledge you are certainly not stingy!
Thank you. I did not know that. Again sometihng to pay attention to.
You have such a calm voice and perfect was of explaining your technique and your talent is astounding...you make it look effortless in creating such beauty....I'm so so inspired.
Thank you Calvin
Thank you Ben for sharing you're expertise. I have learnt a great deal from this video.. I will watch it again. I love your attention to detail.
Keep safe.
thank you Margot for letting me know.
Hoi Ben, geweldige video! Het is erg informatief om het gehele proces te zien. Heb je ook tips voor het werken met acryl?
Dank je. In het verleden heb ik wel geschilderd in acryl maar ik weet te weinig van de techniek om er over te kunnen vetrellen.
That was really great. Thank you. Could you please state the size of this canvas?
50 x 40 cm.
Thank you so much for your generous, high-quality videos!
Thank you Marianne
Wow.... perfect. No words for you Mr. You are amazing
thank you.
That is truly brilliant sir. I'm wondering if you used any mediums during the process. Or maybe at chapter 23 for the dress?
By the way It's really hard to capture the likeness while trying to maintain the abstraction and that painterly brushwork.
One can easily bogged down in the details and make the painting tighter and duller. Could you teach more about this aspect? Thank you so much!
I diluted the paint of the dress with turps and tried to let it run.
life painting is so expensive now allmost easier to learn from home
I'm watching this while I'm painting! Totally a big help for me, also the background music is so calm and relaxing 😌 thank you for this ❤️
Thank you Dan
What an excellent tutorial have you made Ben. Thank you for sharing so much valuable information.
Thank you Remi. My pleasure.
So grateful for your generosity.
Thank you
So generous to post a full length demonstration for free. I've learnt so much. I've just gone out and bought some terra rosa to have a go with.
Thank you
Thank you. Terra rosa is a fantastic color to start for a fair skin.
I admire your palette colors. Going to use it for my next portrait. Thank you for sharing - you’re a very good teacher, your explanations resonate with me!
Thank you Kathy. Good luck!
This was incredibly helpful, enjoyable and soothing as well. Thank you for not playing horrible loud music, and especially thank you for speaking softly and at a reasonable pace, your whole manner is really conducive to learning and comprehension. Newly subbed. 🌹
Thanks.
An excellent teacher , he teaches with so much of details and patience ❤
Thank you Anita
My wife & I are thoroughly "Enjoying" your "Mentoring"! We appreciate your patience in showing us each stroke in normal speed with explanation of the making up of the color palate in use on the different zones. We absolutely consider you to be a 'Master' in your field and we look forward to learning as much as possible.
It is my pleasure Robert. Thank you for your kind words
You Sir are a great teacher. Thanks for your real time videos.
Thank you very much
Ben, you are a master of capturing a moment with as few brush strokes as possible. Great work.
Thank you.
Loved this tutorial! So nice of you to share freely!!! I am going to use your exact palette this week. So excited to try it out. Thank you so much! I am sure I will watch it several times. As the other person stated - It helped A LOT!!
You are so welcome!
