Painting with oil is a completely different compared to pencilsketches. To get used to the new medium you can start with painting a tomato. Less difficult to sketch, less shadows, but you'll lose the fear of painting with oil.
Well done, Sergey. One of the better tutorials I've found on TH-cam. Sometimes it seems artists do these just to say, "This is what I can do and you can't." But in his narrative, Sergey gives enough info to make it useful - a light pencil sketch to start, and of course be able to draw all proportions perfectly because otherwise your portrait will never look right. Then he describes the paints he uses for the eyes, cool & warm shadows, highlights, etc. All in all, well worth watching.
This is not a tutorial, but just a skill. You will not be able to repeat it, because the person does not show you the stages of work (which he was taught), but only the end result.
correct. if you cannot make a face with a pencil, pen or any other medium, you can't with paint either. Same rules, same hand and arm techniques, understanding of anatomy, light and shadow, drapery, color theory and general experience.
I am a very good sketcher but now learning how to paint. I love your tutorial on portraits which is my specialty in sketching. I will apply your technique. Thanks for revealing how to mix the different oil paints and expressing the importance of shadows understanding light (warm) and dark (cold). It makes all the difference. I have subscribed.
Great video Sergey, and beautiful portrait. I've painted with acrylics for years and never had the confidence to try oils, but you make the techniques really accessible, will give it a go this weekend!
Same here. but then again he's using oils. I've been used to acrylics lately and their short dry time and having to use extenders and medium. It's about time I get back into oils! Great vid
I wanted to learn to paint in oils because I find acrylic doesn't give me that soft realistic look in portraits. Great video with so much valuable information. Also Sergey's voice is so calming, I could listen to him for hours. 🙂
i love your simple way of explanation especially on the part of color mixing, very informative and easy to follow...you are doing a great work and just want to say thank you ...
it was my first time painting with oils today but i was surprised when it didn't look like a beginner piece at all. it was probably about the fact that i haad experience from painting with acrylics and already learning the basics about light and dark already but never the less it made me really happy. so dont look at it and give up because it looks too hard cause besides the extra stuff to use, its pretty simple.
Very fine tutorial. Very easy to follow because it was so well photographed that it was possible to follow every little step in the process and you also talked and explained what and how you did every little step. Thank you very much for sharing this approach to painting a portrait.
A lot of this I already knew, but a little something extra for me just clicked while I was watching you paint! Not all the light parts of the face (or the dark parts) get the same amount of light (or shadow). It seems like a pretty simple observation, true, but there was a bit of dissonance with the thought while painting previous paintings. I feel like I can apply the concept more effectively, now. :) Sometimes it's impossible to put what's missing into words, but I feel like I got it now
Brooklyn “....not all the light parts of the face get the same amount of light.” Correct. The face is composed of curved forms...nose, cheeks, eye lids etc. You might review videos that show how light shining on a sphere creates a sense of volume . The gradation of light to dark shows how light behaves as it shines on a rounded surface.
Way to go. I really 👍 like the simple process. Especially the advice about going lighter and darker.. And what happens when you mix them up.. Looking flat and boring. Well done
Merci pour cette super vidéo, car même si je ne comprends que le français, les gestes sont tellement précis, que cela suffit comme explication...merveilleux , cette façon de montrer la peinture car cela devient une réelle langue internationale ...BRAVO
Chantal Mandayi j aurais aimé comprendre pourquoi il n utilise aucun médium et aucune préparation de la toile ´ il dessine et appose directement la peinture ?
I have just started with sketching my late wife, just looking at my sketch is very emotional. Vaseline on the lens was a Movie cameraman trick - want a soft flattering look. Impressionist if you like. Wish me luck with my first portrait. My 'copies' if Van Gogh and Picasso are worthy.
Amazing job! I really like this process, I've been meaning to paint with oils for a while but have been discouraged alot. But this motivates me! thank you!
Yes I agree - it is the best tutorial I have seen. So amazingly well shown that it is possible to follow every step, but of course you have to do many portraits before you get as fast and secure in actually mixing, painting and drawing so that you are able to make portraits that resemle the model
Do you generally use solvents or mediums or do you actually always paint straight from the tube? If you do, what kind of mediums/solvents do you use and where do you use them and how much do you use them?
if the paint is really good as new with enough liquid inside, then you can directly from the tube, if the paint is little greasy and creamy then its convenient to use.
I love Liquin to smoothen older oil paints and I also use it if I want something more transparent. Liquin is also great because it quickens the drying time and you can use it as a glaze if you mix it with a tiny pit of colour. It's hard to say how much medium/solvent you need, since everyone of those is different. But the manufactures often state either on their website or product how much you can mix into your oil paint.
it's a wonderful painting, very good explication, thank you you helped me to understand the proportion of shadows and lights everywhere in the portrait
Paperbackwriter Stop being a sissy and go spend $50 on some basic oils. You'll never know if you never try, right? Start with a basic colors set and some medium and solvent. You won't regret it. It has a reasonably steep learning curve if you're just starting, but if you can already paint with WC/Acrylic, you're 90% there already. Good luck and happy painting! 👍
Very helpful, thank you. In my perception the shadows above the upper eyelids are a little bit too dark and hard so they stick out from the rest of the face. But that is only my opinion and does not interfere with the masterskills you have.
I think this guy is fantastic as an artist but beginners should not paint like that, the way this artist paint is for more advanced people. If you are a beginner I would suggest to start with broad brush strokes and mixing just three colors or four at the most, the color of the darkest shadows of the skin, mid tone of the skin, lightest color of the skin but not the highlights and the local color of the hair, nothing more and nothing less, dont even think about the eyes. Once this colors are correct then add only two more colors for the general blue and grey of the sclera, once you have those two colors right, then add the pink tones of the skin and the shadow of the hair, once you have those colors accurate enough then start adding details if you feel comfortable and with a small brush but never ever start with a small brush because the amount of colors and detail can become unmanageable. Always start from broad as you can to specific. This Russian guy is a beast and to paint the way that he paints require a lot of skill through practice.
Thank u sooo much... Plzzzzz... make video on how to use mediums and minirals and there proportions while painting oils on different stages of painting... would be greatful to you...

You should never start working from the eye bro. The ideea is to separate light from shadow in the beginning
Hi!I appreciate the effort put in this video. But I have a question: How much did it take to finish the painting?
Hi, where can I buy the oil paint used in this video?
Do you know roughly how long this took you without the time lapse?
yeah I think we have a different defination for beginners....I can't even do the starting sketch
Maybe try pencil sketch book? I started the way.
I also began with the color pencils...
Yea, I was going to say, if you can’t draw, you can forget about it. Should be called beginning oil portraiture for skilled draftsman.
Painting with oil is a completely different compared to pencilsketches. To get used to the new medium you can start with painting a tomato. Less difficult to sketch, less shadows, but you'll lose the fear of painting with oil.

I love how ur showing us the sketching process before painting, not alot of artists do that!
I think before learning portrait painting...I need to learn portrait sketching.
correct. if you cannot make a face with a pencil, pen or any other medium, you can't with paint either. Same rules, same hand and arm techniques, understanding of anatomy, light and shadow, drapery, color theory and general experience.
lmao duh
“Quick sketch”. Boy. My quick sketches are happy faces.

Sergey you certainly are a talented artist. I found this tutorial very helpful with skin tone, hair and eyes and the use of shadow tones. Well done
Great video Sergey, and beautiful portrait. I've painted with acrylics for years and never had the confidence to try oils, but you make the techniques really accessible, will give it a go this weekend!
Thanks so much .I was having shadows on face problems this tutoral helped me so much. And what a very beautiful lady she looked so content
I,m a big fan of yours Sergey. Love that you look at almost all the comments on your video. Thanks for the tutorial
😊😊
Thank you for the tutorial Sergey!
You are not only an awesome artist but a good dude too!
I'm surprised that you do the 2 eyes at different times
And different ways

One of the best illustration of how to paint portrait- Thank you 😍
I love how you explain and how you paint!
i't seem to be easy to do! but in reality it takes a lot of talent and work. Congratulations Sergey, greetings from Quito - Ecuador
My first time watching. I love the way you explain the colors and slow down in real time. Beautiful work!
Благо Дарю Вам!
Спасибо большое Сергей! Вашим мастерством кажется так просто рисовать портрет.
Учусь, беру art classes Loveland, Colorado
Lovely work. Amazing how a frame adds to a painting too.
i love your simple way of explanation especially on the part of color mixing, very informative and easy to follow...you are doing a great work and just want to say thank you ...
Thank you for your time of making this painting and explaining to us every single step!Your comments were very helpful!

@@renzo6490 Then, there is also drapery, which not only teaches you how cloth behaves, it also applies to muscle and fat deposits.
Awesome work!
I enjoyed so much your step by step tutorial. It was so clear & on point. Thanks for sharing Sergey!
Вы не только талантливый и трудолюбивый рисовальщик, но и великолепный художник!!!!! Красивый, комлиментарный портрет. Удачи, успеха и достатка вам
Сергей спасибо за ваш урок, вы красиво и чётко изъясняете суть техники. Очень классно. Thank you.

Great tutorial, I would have loved to see slowly what happened after 14:00, that's where the face gets all those details!
Wow. Nice. I am loving it. Thank You.

beautifulllll work indeed thank u so much that was so useful
Thanks 🙂
It's amazing I'll try it on my portrait and am momorising your tips I think it will help me allot because I love perfection

Just got a new fan ;)))
great to speak in english
thanks
I like this because for Van Gogh's oil
Thank you for this demostration! Very informative
Necesitaba un video así,muchas gracias 🙏
Thank so so much Sergey you are amazing 😉
Thanks Sergey...Teşekkürler, in Turkish. :)
Awesome video and great instruction! Just subscribed
That is beautiful. Thank you for the video. I am going to try this soon
Wow, just subscribed. Thank you for sharing. This is really great for us newbies learning to do portraits. Much Appreciated...
Awesome waiting for more !
This is superb 👌🏻
This is beautiful. And fairly easy to follow. Thank you
wow... it's so nice.
I wouldn't consider this a beginner tutorial but great process. Seems more advanced if you are already familiar with color mixing and drawing faces.
When you tape white paper ont the back of the palet you can see the proper mixed color on the palet
Fantastic art...you do very well 👌
