Thanks for checking out Dave Porters Art. My name is David Porter (Dave) and I'm committed to sharing all my techniques and tips with Oil Paints, Pastels & Graphite art.
On this RU-vid Channel you will find weekly uploads of tutorials, exploring difference mediums and subject matter.... portraits, animals and landscapes. This will be mainly speeded up along with some real-time footage so not to make the videos too long.. There will be narration explaining each procedure as you watch.
My passion is to help you to create realistic and soulful artwork.
The colour palette I use can be applied to every type of medium i.e. watercolour, Oils, pastels etc. So I'm excited to share with you all my knowledge.
Be sure to comment and say hello and let me know what kind of videos you'd like to see.

Thank you for doing drawings freehand rather than grid. Much respect. I learn so much from you. I joined your patreon but still love these RU-vid short videos. Beautiful drawing!
You welcome Darnelle, thanks for the kind words. Thrilled you are learning so much, thanks for the support be joining Patreon, and watching my RU-vid videos, very much appreciated. 🙏😊
I like that you use subjects of all kind, the ages, the young, etc. I really enjoy your work. It helps me understand the colors you work with. 🙏 thanks!
You are so welcome Denise! I like to create all ages, it is fascinating to connect to all the different energies. Thanks for watching... much appreciated. 😊🙏
I love your videos watching you made me better thank you. I have a question to ask. When you finish with u ok your work what do you use to steal it? Is it ok to use fixable spray?
Thanks for the love! I don't fix my work as it dulls the subtleties. What I do is wrap the work in glassine paper for storage... or I frame the work under mount and glass. Thanks for watching 😊🙏
Fantastic drawing and such a gorgeous little guy. Cheeky, funny, loving, strong willed and just full of energy. You captured him perfectly if these are his traits. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Mr. Porter, I have so much respect for you, sir. I try to do pastel portraits what I would like to know, sir, how do you build up the values without the portrait looking dusty and overloaded? Perhaps the paper I use?
Thanks for the kind words Charles... you could be right... it sounds like the paper you are using, Sanded papers are the best I have found... my favourite being Pastelmat dark grey. All the very best 😊🙏
I agree so much about the feeling the heart and receiving the energy back. I was painting an elephant from a picture once. There was something about his expression. I had a real feeling of connection with him and my brush strokes just felt right. It's the only way I can describe it. Beautiful picture.
It is a wonderful feeling. We all have this ability to connect in us , once we let go and open the heart it all seem to flow from there. Thanks for the kind word and watching the video. 😊🙏
Thank you so much for this! I am sharing to my granddaughter. Already have given the granddaughters all the art supplies they need. Now on the lookout for tutorials like this.
Very nice and informative video. you are very skilled. I'm mainly using coloured pencils but your video has inspired me to try pastel pencils. Caran d'Ache is a great brand
