About me:
My work focuses on the human figure. I've given drawing and painting workshops and demos throughout the United States and Europe. I have been making realist drawing and painting tutorials for two years now that I release through my Patreon page. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I work in pastel and acrylic, and love one sitting portraiture. Most effective method for building confidence and on demand skill set
I agree . It’s been a while . I’ll maybe start again. Thanks
@@georgefenning4844 good luck. Starting is the hard part... you got this.
@@fortnag Thank you for the reply. It gave me the much needed push to set up my space to make it happen! cheers.
@@georgefenning4844 @Fort Nag You guys are awesome! Motivating me to want to try painting!
@@ChrisW777 You definitely have to achieve and not to try painting.I mean, being the same type of diY guy, up to crying during trying allmost enything , , iI faound first in drawing , now finally in painting a lot of understanding about me, things and the whole of life.. It helps me with the order keeping, also .And it seems like a huge finalisation and gathering of all I have learnt in life.
I did that when I first started digital art and had no idea how to really work with digital paints. The programmierest back then only allowed three layers so that didn’t help either, but after I did my sketch I worked my paint just like this. Section by section just blocking in the shades I thought worked, sometimes color picking when I felt my eyes were deceiving me (how could a shadow on a pinkish person be dark green?) and it was a wonderful experience, in all honesty.
i usually paint digitally too, so does this mean u use smaller brush often? i need some insights to improve my painting skills
@@mattkavelli absolutely! Currently I use a Solid color as my underpainting and then I put small sections of color on there and blend them. I usually devide my colors into layers nowadays, but sometimes you just have to blend the Shadows directly into the color for the look you want
@@BekkiUndSo rad, thankyou for the insights
In the past 5 years I have not made a single painting, this past summer I started painting again and I had only 3 hours for a painting, made it in a single sitting. This gave me the confidence to make all my paintings in one go, since then ive been happily painting on a regular basis while making 2ftx1ft tall paintings in 5-6 hours max! And my technique has drastically improved!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge for free here. I am starting to learn how to paint and hope to get better with time. It’s refreshing to know that everyone has the this looks like crap phase while working on a project. 😆
You are so welcome!
It didn't look like crap though. It was a very good milestone. I think he did that for you (the viewer/student) because he's generous.
You absolutely will get better with time.
What I loved about this painting was how you took a photo of totally blown out in the skin tones and brought a beautiful tone and feeling to the portrait. When I saw you mixing the flesh tones I thought, whoa, he’s going way too dark. Well done, sir. Thank you for this!
Thank you! Cheers!
Alla Prima is definitely the shiznit. I used to make really detailed drawings before painting a portrait, fixed it, and then layered on top. Over the years I've been drawing less and less in the inital stages, now I practically just go all in with the painting from the beginning. If a mistake happens, I just paint on top, and sometimes certain cool effects appear as a result. Great tut Stephen!
I love when TH-cam suggests just right, it doesn’t happen often. Great tutorial, thank you! Subbed :)
Thanks for the sub! And the positive vibes!!
I was just thinking this! Also subbed 😊
Totally! Sometimes it hits the spot! 👍🏻
My thoughts exactly.
Honestly it’s cool to learn stuff from the video and comments even though I’ve never painted in my life and I have no idea why I’m here
i'm 2 mins in and stopped to comment on how clearly you have conveyed the process, the line 'linework to mass' and the term middle values, then light, then dark. it's a road map! thanks Stephen!
Important point: it's efficient only after repeated exposure. A beginner won't have a one sitting session and make it look this good.
Came out excellent, well done. :)
when Stephen says "as absolutely Messy, as craps as it looks" I see perfection in the process. thank you Stephen this is golden
i studied art and illustration (which included painting courses) at the university level at a pretty well-known art school for 4 years, and i never once heard anything like this in my painting classes. thank you, this would have helped me in my struggles so much!
Happy to help!
I don't even know why I am here, I suck at drawing. But i watched till the end because it's mesmerizing.
This practice and technique seems like it carries lots fo lessons across many disciplines, not just art.
Fix your flat tire, _then_ wash the windshield.
Love it !Nice work.
Beautiful work.
Fantastic lesson ! !
This is something I've been doing with sketching for months, just to improve my technique. It's good to see that the old masters were in agreement about it!
Excellent work Stephen!

Great information
Great tutorial and amazing painting!
Thank you! Cheers!
I do not paint portraits and will probably never paint portraits but am I saving this video? Yes
Thank you so much for this video! Your art is magnificent and I've just recently been researching Alla prima painting, even though I am an artist, I've yet to venture off into the many different forms and techniques of painting. I primarily am interested in portraiture and finding out this method fits right into what I am interested in doing and also more so of my desired art style. Thanks again!
Tremendous Stephen, thanks so much for this and for your channel. Such amazing instruction, I can hardly believe it! Subscribed.
Beautiful work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Really nice lesson!! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Amazing 👍👍👌
This was so interesting! Thank you for showing your palette/color mixing too. Can't wait to binge the rest of your channel :)
Welcome!!
I think this is great! Just what I was looking for. When I'm painting I often (unintentionally) start perfecting the detail right away. But because of that I forget about the greater picture of the composition. This technique really helped! thank you!
Amazing 😍 Loved it 😍
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm only half way through this, and it's a great video. I work in digital, but this is a great video for understanding colour value and mixing colours!
Great vid
I may work digitally with drawing, but this definitely helps put into prespective how to make a drawing that has a painting feel to it. Thank you alot.
Glad it was helpful!
do you use smaller brush or bigger brush mainly? i paint digitally too
That's beautiful. You're inspiring me
I'm so glad!
Thank you for this tutorial. It was a great breakdown of the method for me.
You're very welcome!
This was really helpful! I thank you so much! Leaving a thumbs up and an abo!

Very nice work. Thankyou for sharing it! I shall try that approach next time.
Thank you! Cheers!
thank you very much
I really enjoyed this tutorial and appreciate how you explain the painting theories in detail. Subscribed!

Thank you so much, really enjoyed watching your skill and experience. Portraits are my weakness but want to persevere as I love to capture souls on canvass whether human or in nature.
