Monochromatic Portrait Painting by 5 Value Scale. 

Thank you very much for adding the values and edge control in the captions as well as not speeding the video up. This video showed me how to get passed "ugly" phase of the process right after putting in the division between the shadow and lit areas. My edge control is bad. Very helpful.

very methodical approach in explaining creating the facial features from scratch. It is very important for beginners how to have precise proportions without using the square method. I am experimenting with creating monochrome black and white portraits. Have done many pencil sketches in the past but using black and white paints, brushes and medium are way different than working with pencils and erasers. It is always good to learn new techniques anyways. Thanks for the video.

wow, such disciplined painting. not a brush stroke wasted. impressive!

Zin, you're awesome! Stroke by stroke until it's truly a masterpiece. Fantastic work!

Pity you speeded up the end... I was really enjoying watching the painting in real time. Terrific!!! Thanks.

Great Skill, and a fine approach. I appreciated the discipline involved in reserving values until you moved on to the next, saving highlights and darkest darks for last. Brilliant.

I am totally trying this tonight! can't wait to get off of work and PAINT! BTW I really appreciate this video it is one of the only one where we get to a: see the palette AND b: see everything in real time

Thank you so much for posting this. I’m about to paint my first portrait and amounts all the other vids I’ve found for black and white portraits this one was the best by far. Thank you so much for posting ♥️ keep it up 🙂

Lovely. Thankyou so much. Best video ever on Portraits!

This is amazing ... thank you so much for sharing

amazing amazing loved it

I can already see the soul of the person in the first few minutes...i appreciate the real time, although it is fascinating to watch it appear quickly as well.. gorgeous skill sir)

Magnifica obra, gracias por sus enseñanzas fabulosas!! Un grande maestro 💯❤️😍👍🌹

I love your videos, they are very instructive. You are a great artist, my respects.

Finally, a very nice result!!!

Video hadn’t even started and I liked it instantly. 👍

make more videos like this!! You have such a methodical approach, I'm a beginner and you make it look easy! you're so good!!

This is freaking awesome this video is a gem

Even if you leave the forms rough its still beautiful. I love zin. Learned so much. Much more than my art school

That's beautiful Zin. Been looking for a video like this for a while, i will take some ideas from your technique and hopefully will make mine abit easier

It requires a lot of patience to watch this video. I really liked your demo in pencil.

Great job Zin!

Great video. Magic pieces coming through. Like your use of darkest grey under her nose in two strokes and her nose became 3-D! Thank you:)

Love it ,would like to see the finished rendition

Beautiful work

Awesome tutorial!

Wow! Your process is very similar to drawing using charcoal! Amazing

Stupendo . Complimenti e grazie. Elvira . Italy

Your so great a big respect for you and god bless you🎉🎉🎉♥♥♥

Such a amazing vid, and I also would've wished If you had your refrence open for some seconds at the start so we know what your working with and try to solve something with you

J’ai adoré merci maitre la Colombie

Gorgeous

you made it look so easy ;)

this is amazing, I wish I could give it ten likes,, I have been painting my whole life but in a coupe of minutes you have taught me something quite profound about the power of the darks, you could have stopped with the darkest tone and still had a perfectly readable picture, thank you.

Superb.

very nice work!

It is wonderful and easy

So so so nice

Amazing, thanks a lot for sharing it

Your videos are wonderful, i can't thank you enough. Hope you are doing well 😊

Thank you so much!

that is why it is pretty hard to make a default black paint when it comes to portrait. Better make use of your own mix of black! tho of course it still depends on how you want the painting outcome. enjoyed the video!

>me "poor artist" >just can afford two colors >saw this video >happy momento

Awesome

thank you so much for taking your time to share. it is very gracious of you and greatly appreciated. i would like to say i wish you didn't. speed up the eyes portion. I'm not sure how many people would like to see your technique for painting eyes. however, that being said, thank you so much for taking the time to share

Thank you

Thank you.

Can you do an acrylic one too?? This is amazing I love your style

I love bw portrait but on youtube I don't see many of these. You are great as always. Can I ask you what type of brand oil color do you use and how you deal de support (canvas or board) ?

Lim, I love your work, you're a real talent. But please...don't fast-forward the final details at the end, it's the icing on the cake and yet you rush it. We don't get a second to enjoy the final result!

Would you use the same paint colours when using a glaze for colour afterwards or would you prefer to use say raw umber, white and ultra marine blue perhaps then?

More monochrom !!!

Hi again, I got another question! at 25:20 you start blending. I was wondering if thats because you started using a medium? Im new to oil painting, started just like a week ago... so I was wondering if from the beggining were you using mediums, or at 25:20 ? Really thanks for these videos. And sorry for two questions!

Hi! I am new to this but really interested in an amateur way. I don't understand the edge control.. Do you just use a new color that is in between the lighter and the darker shades or a different brush or both? Thanks for all you efforts in putting this video together for us to enjoy!

29.00 is that just a dry brush? blending the two values together?

Awesome video, but it would more great if reference is also shown, this will help follow along the video and learn 😁

What's with the ending? Why the rush?

I want to see one done in black and white pencil

May I ask which black you used? Nvm found it in description

Hello. Do you think liquin would work for a painting like this instead of linseed oil? Also, did you do this in one sitting, or did you wait for layers to dry. I’m very new and trying to get into oil paints, thank you.

Which brush you use tell me please

what kind of paper wud u prefer for oil paint?

Would you be able to share the reference you used? Would help in order to be able to follow along.

What do you use to make your drying shades of paint fluid again. Like at minute 23:00

How do you know it's 5 values and not 12? I want to learn to paint... i have had no formal education but I'm just trying out things...

How Old Are you? and when did u started painting? i'm 17 and i just started learning painting on my own from videos!. i'm good at drawing and the beasics like perspective,anatomy(but havn't mastered them)..but the thing i suck at is painting!! can u give me some tips? And yeah i paint digitally! because traditional is pretty expensive xD

sooo thats what it looks like to see someone paint perfectly the face plain for plain.

🙏🇩🇰

I was mesmorized.

Hi Zin. First of all thank you so much for the educational videos. Will I have big problems doing this exercise without any medium at all ? I mean, the paint will be too sticky ? I am alergic and I have heard about people painting without any medium at all, only strait out of the tube. My only experience is with watercolor. Second, becoming a patron will I have access to this full video in real time, without the speed up on the end ? Thank you so much . (sorry any english mistake)

what brushes do you use?

Why did you fast forward towards the end?

?thank you for sharing .. can i now what is the brand of brushes

и у меня получилось что то !!!

40:10 when you realize you took 5 hours at something that could have been done in 20 mins lol

;

ty for video but pls do video like this x2 speed
