Eyes are never round, do not be afraid of darks, do not do lipstick lips, do not use black or blue they do not do the job, people start blending too early, if you see 100 paint 10. So much valuable advice! Dear Ben, I am very grateful to watch you and learn your lessons.

@lustenhouwer 2 года назад

Thank you Judith.

@yyguuyg 2 года назад

I love everything about this. The calm way you explain your process, your loose painterly style, the focus on simple blocking in of shapes and approximations of local color/value, and (being a guitarist myself) the short break to play some Blackbird (one of my favorites to jam out on). This is how I like/want to paint. Thank you.

@carefreedelight2355 2 года назад

How kind and generous of you to share your knowledge and amazing talent with the rest of the world. You have done some incredible reductionist work on the craft of painting while at the same time enhancing the artistic magic of the whole experience. I am grateful for every step you have talked us through, but in particular the use of the Gesso, the white spirit, the type/colours of paints and brushes and not least the gel and the subtlety of it uses - the hardware that underpins the personal marks of a painting. Sincere and grateful thanks. You have made me want to paint again!

@lustenhouwer 2 года назад

Thank you for your kind words.

@Utube6762 3 месяца назад

Very nicely done. What many accomplished painters miss when they do instruction videos is that novices, like me, need to see your palette and the reference photo so we can see what you're doing and why. Good job. I learned a lot.

@lustenhouwer 3 месяца назад

So good to hear you learned from the videos!

@miroslavkostov6403 7 месяцев назад

Andrew I just wanted to say that you're a true inspiration to everybody who loves painting. Your passion about all the tiny things around creating a beautiful piece is amazing and very inspiring at the same time. Watching you explain all those tricks and secrets that everybody hides is giving me the needed courage that i didn't have. You may not realize how much you're giving through your videos and appearance. The attitude about what you love is gigantic and resident. I love your style and paintings and really wish I could afford buying some of your pieces some day. I know that I am just another subscriber and just noone in the ocean of fans you have, and probably you won't even go through my comment, but in case you do, I want you to know that you've got a big fan out there from Bulgaria (oldest and most beautiful country in Europe) who supports you and who appreciates what you have been doing. As a starting self taught artist I find your content priceless. I would love to find out more about the lights you use in thr studio. The ones you use when paint and the other ones that create that warm atmosphere. Andrew keep the good work up, stay safe and wish you much inspiration. Greetings from Bulgaria!

@pe3559 2 года назад

Absolutely brilliant. Extremely instructive, in a way that is usually only found in live classes. Thank you for taking the time and energy to make this available to everyone. Your powers of observation for laying down shape and value are incredible, but what blew me away the most is your ability to observe a tiny spot of colour on your reference and then recreate it effortlessly for your canvas. Unbelievable.

@lustenhouwer 2 года назад

This is probably the best teaching video ever made. It can be used both to teach how to teach and how to make teaching videos on the highest level. I make great art, but I do not make paintings like this. In the future, I will paint portraits, and I will copy all steps from the best teacher ever!

@stellab8870 2 года назад

My grandfather used to do oil paintings as a hobby and I used to watch him do them. I never had the courage to do oil paintings myself as it seemed a very time-consuming and expensive hobby, but your videos are helping me gather the courage to try! Thank you, Ben. Your paintings are wonderful.

@lustenhouwer 2 года назад

@danielleparent8505 2 года назад

A sentence you said in several of your videos struck me: "you must be courageous". I wrote it on a watercolour paper, and surrounded her by beautiful colours. Four words, whit a great strength. This sentence has greatly changed my artistic advancement. As if,I welcomed a strong dose of courage and confidence. So now I have this quote in my workshop, from a master portraitist who has had a tremendous impact on my life as an beginner artist. A deep thank you Mister Lustenhouwer. Danielle Parent 🇨🇦

Thank you Mimi

@joycehandersonfriends3225 Год назад

Oh Ben this is a huge help! I can already see a great way to improve my own work from watching your video. I must now start making a quick color and composition study before I start my portrait, just to help me visualize in advance how my portrait might look. This will give me the confidence I lack and will help me to stop procrastinating because I will then have the confidence and enthusiasm, since I can see with my eyes the design for the whole painting & its colors. After that it will be easy to simply copy the whole idea into a realism style. I also love how easy you show us we can match flesh colors from a photo without guessing! A thousand thank yous Ben! God Bless You!

@Raeburnsart 2 года назад

Mr Lustenhouwer you are an absolute breath of fresh air to listen to. I just love your approach and how you tackle your work. I enjoy listening, watching and i watch all your videos from start to finish. To be honest some other art/youtubers i watch i cant help myself but "fast forward" but you have so much to give when you paint and explain... you are a fabulous teacher and i am always excited to watch your stuff! thank you for the lovely video and your excellent commentary (you always give me a little laugh too lol)

@lustenhouwer 2 года назад

Thank you for your nice comment.

@phyllishoneysett8639 2 года назад

Thank you for showing us how to achieve a beautiful portrait with planning, having foundation colors mixed, keeping the early layers thin, then building, building up. I never went to art school, so your color mixing is valuable and key to achieving warm or cool areas. Everything you shared is quite beneficial. “Keep it simple,” is a great phrase to keep in my mind!! Huge thanks! God bless you and many years with your granddaughter!

@CherylMcMahan1953 2 года назад

By my good fortune, your videos were the first I studied when I started painting portraits about five years ago. I have watched many other teachers. But I only appreciate your methods all the more. I have been scared away from using turpentine in any part of the underpainting so I use Griffin quick-dry oil paints for that. This video is a great review of your earlier ones. I see now where I went wrong in my last painting.

@lustenhouwer 2 года назад

Thank you Cheryl. I try to slowdown the drying time so I don't use mediums in the beginning that speed up

@lustenhouwer 2 года назад

Thank you Martha, so nice to hear.

@mdoty36 2 года назад

I struggle with “noodling” my paintings to death and ruining the freshness of the brushstrokes. I believe the trouble comes from not taking the time to block in with care. Can you explain more in depth how you simplify during the block in stage? For example, how do you decide what to leave out? What planes are most important during this stage? And also, solutions for my issue. You briefly mentioned walking away from the painting more, and I know I could benefit from that. As always, thank you.

@lustenhouwer 2 года назад

Maybe in the future I will make a video on the topic on seeing the different planes to block in.

I really appreciate this video. I wrote down the main points in my sketch pad, and refer to them and this video when I need to. I spent about a year getting up to speed on my drawing ability, and came back to learn how to paint. Recognizing the subtle differences in values on the face and translating them correctly to the canvas is now my main focus. I get great satisfaction seeing a gradual improvement in my ability to convey a likeness. Thanks so much for offering these tips!

This is awesome. I've been painting non stop as a kid but at some point forgot about my passion. Now that I've finished my PhD it came back full force and I just can't hold the brushes still. Sadly where I live there is nobody offering professinal instruction but thankfully there is youtube and masters like you sharing their knowledge. I really, really appreciate your calm and detailed explanations, they really help a lot!

I didn't paint for 30 years. Always liked to do portraits since my childhood. Found your videos. Thank you very much for detailed explanation starting from mixing colors. It helped me to refresh forgotten. I have started to paint again! I would like more videos. I enjoyed watching.
