Oil Painting a Portrait: TIME-LAPSE 

Every spect of paint is so precise like the tiny dots of white which make the eyes so real, like a tear could drop from them...

Reason for mixing properly... Just Truly PAINT what ya SEE!... Forget the rest till its necessary.... Be well all

That's what I thought too

His canvas is very smooth, he explained it in a video I think

😂

You should check Carl kronberger portraits, he was 19th century painter and you'll like the details considering they were made like 150 years ago

Ha, I was transfixed by the very same thing. A single dot of white put the full realism into that eye (in my eye).

@@imacmill I'm learning to draw and the first time I learned this trick of making eyes look realistic, I was blown away myself and I still don't quite understand it fully. You add that highlight and suddenly it looks like a film of transparent liquid is over the eye. A similar thing happens when you learn to draw water droplets.

Cesar Santos, Mark Carder and a couple others are this good as well. Probably some more but these are the only ones ive seen so far.

Thanks so much Dave! I appreciate the comment

Thanks Lynda!

Thanks David! Yeah, that music is great and really added something to the painting. Thanks for the comment

@@waddellwebisodes what is the name of the music?

Thank you!!

@@waddellwebisodes Of course! No problem! 😊just keep being awesome! 😎

thanks so much!

being creful with transitions gives the smooth impression . lots of nuetral colors rather than sharp cool or warm .this is part of trick . 2nd most important point it using small brushes

@@muhammedmoazam4851 thx!

@@muhammedmoazam4851 yes tiny slooow gradation makes it smoother.

it feels too smooth and lacks texture and rhythm. it is also one of the less skill-required ways to paint a painting. Still gave a like tho, good nuance in the skin tones

As an artist I find the portrait quite insightful and inspiring…awesome painting…smooth and color tones are amazing…❤

@@lastbot7383 I find your comment really interesting. Can you explain and elaborate on "it's the least skill-required way to paint"? What would be a more skilled way?

@@kalilavalezina first of all there are different ways to paint a painting. You can do wet on wet like Sargent or you can do glazing like Bouguereau. I for a bit dislike some hyperrealistic styles where you get a big canvas and do a pixel-by-pixel copy (disclaimer I do not dislike this artist), because it is first easy to do unlike many people say, and second because of this painted process it lacks painterly quality or aesthetics. I like this artist's work in general, but I do not like this particular style which I think is overrated on the internet like those hyperrealistic charcoal drawings you see on social medias.

@@lastbot7383 Thank you for your reply. So a more skilled way of painting is to work from imagination? Do you paint?

This says more about the TikTokkers than about Scott Waddel's work. You have to accept this that most of us never bother to understand the better things.
