Good grief that’s so beautiful I almost fell in love with the girl 😂. Even with the plain background it was pretty stunning but it’s amazing how much more vivacious and captivating that sky background made it. Really illuminated your points about color scheme. & That color blocking tip was super insightful and makes perfect sense. Thanks a lot for that!
Beautiful portrait, absolutely agree on use of acrylic as underpainting and oil to finish. Oil blends and the colours live. Hope you feel better soon👌🏻🎨💖🌹
You make your process so interesting and educational. Sharing your history on the learning curve is also helpful for us wee folks to understand :) Thank you..
wow, this is so beautiful. I started my art career making portraits using graphite, but painting them was never good for me. You make me want to try again
Hi, thanks for sharing your process. I'm a charcoal portrait artist and also found it difficult to paint in colour. Your advice was invaluable to me and made a huge difference in my work. Thanks again for sharing.
I really love this portrait and thank you so much for sharing your technique. It helpt me to learn paint looser strokes and you warning not to blend but put paint on in strokes really helps. Hope you get wel soon.❤ ❤
You have a way to make it easy to understand the prosess of painting. Thank you for shearing and please put out alot more videos, the best teacher on yotube. Love it!
Fabulous, thanks for all the informative explanations that you use with your oils. Ive never used oil but really want to try them on top of some of my acrylics . Thanks for sharing!
1:07 Your voice is beautiful Lydia , just this popping sounds make ma brain popp out of my head when I listen to you with my headphones 😂🤣btw. I love your videos 😘
Wonderful! I miss the polka intro (I'm Czech), ...... but find the...Irish?...music a nice soothing compliment to this painting. The painting....I really liked the lips early on, around the 3:00 minute mark. I was like, well hell, no need for oils there. Were I feeling like the crud you describe.....I'd be in bed, covered up, peeking out to see if I'm still of this world, Ha! Thank you for sharing your creativity.
Thank you John! I'm Polish (my dad's side). Nothing like a good Polka. I was pretty much in my cave of sick for the better part of 3 days.😵 Slowly starting to feel more like a human and less like a swamp thing.😁
“ A puddle of warm sick” is not a good look 😳 but I hear where you’re coming from. 😂 Your painting is beautiful and once again you inspire me, and I’m sure many others, to delve into oil paints. Thanks for another great video. 😊❤
Beautiful as always. I am a decent portrait artist. Better in graphite sketches and decent in oils. I am trying to transition into the blocks of color instead of blending. It has been hard, to bet away from blending so much. Watching your techniques is helping me to paint what I know and less of what I see.
Hello Lydia hope you are doing well. I came across your channel and have watched most of your videos in awe at how you mix media so well. I am one of those who likes detail and precision and find it hard to understand abstract however your work actually balances your portraits so well! The colours, the composition and it doesn't look like a 5 yo painted it. Stunning work. So guess what happened next, yep, yep it happened. I went and got myself acrylic paints to try and I have done 2 Cyber City ones and the 3rd is almost done however my love has always been fantasy vampire characters. So after watching your videos, I have the courage to try it. Yeah, thanks for that. 🤣 However, what I wanted to ask is how do you go about doing a blurred background in acrylics? For example, building structures, walls, curtains etc etc, Is that something you would do? I have tried with the Cyber Citys and couldn't get that blend as much as I would have liked. I also picked up that you have started to use Open Acrylics so yep, I bought a set of those as well and am waiting for delivery. So I am going to try a few portraits once I get the paints and see how I go. Take care and thank you so much for encouraging me to try.
Hi Nikki! Thank you! I really appreciate your comment. Fantasy vampire characters... Yessss! As far as blurred backgrounds go with acrylics... I used to used a fine spray mist bottle to keep the acrylics wet enough to blend, but it's so much harder than oil paint. However, now that I am using the open acrylics, it's way easier and a nice compromise. I have a concept that I'm working on right now that has a gothic vibe with blurred buildings in the background. We'll see how that goes. I'd love to see your work! Are you on Instagram?
@@lydiabroderick867 I have my own website but it's all just practice art as I haven't painted for many many years and I wanted to see what I am capable of. So I have been pushing myself. If you want to see my "nice" stuff I can email you my website. I am getting my Open paints tomorrow via delivery so I will work on the pieces this weekend. So then I can show you once they are done.
Did you paint while you were sick or did you do the Lydia voice over during your illness? Another beautiful painting… I was surprised, knowing how ill you’ve been! Enjoyable and good instructional video😊

Thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you like it! ❤❤❤ The background just makes it pop! I love blue and orange together.😁

Getting sick 🤢 is ugh, all kinds of ugh. I got sick in mid-August when my mom brought a bug home. Hope you feel better soon! ❤
Thank you😊
👍
Gorgeous! I learned a lot, too. Do you blend the oils a little bit, or do you stay with the blocked application?
I stick with the blocked application for the most part. Oils kid of blend naturally on the canvas as you overlap the blocks.😊
Gorgeous painting! Just curious are you still mainly using the landscape color set of the golden open acrylics or have you purchased more colors?
The only other colors I have added are a burnt sienna and a transparent red oxide. Otherwise it's just the landscape set with the open acrylics. 😊
@@lydiabroderick867 thank you!
I think we have the same learning source (Milan Art)😁💝
Beautiful! Do you have a name for this piece? BD
Not yet! Do you have a name???😃
How about “Autumn Beauty”?
Did you take the Milan Institute program?
I HOPE YOU FEEL GREAT AGAIN SOON , TODAY ….YOU ARE LOVELY!!!
Thank you!!!❤❤❤❤❤
I need help with this more, blocking in.
