I approached making this video very thoughtfully and figured it would be better to go into the very basics so that beginners can easily follow along. So I apologize if it feels too detailed for more advanced artists- I didn’t mean to be overly thorough or state the obvious 🤍 I’d love to hear your thoughts after you’ve watched it!
The eyes in this oil painting are captured by the artist with extremely delicate brushstrokes, as if they can insight into the inner world of the characters, extremely vivid and breathtaking. The clear layers of pupils, irises, and whites in the eyes not only showcase the three-dimensional sense of the eyes, but also endow them with profound emotional colors.
I am very thankful for the amount of attention to detail with this video! Although I know some the basics of color mixing it was a nice refresher. It was good to see and hear the thought process while mixing. Thank you so much for this video! I'm hoping to give oil painting (a try) again.
Thank you for your kind words-I really appreciate it! I’m glad the video served as a nice refresher. Good luck with giving oil painting another try ❤️ I hope it goes wonderfully for you!
You are a wonderful artist. Your video was helpful and as a more advanced artist I didn't feel that it was too obvious. I believe that art is a constant process of learning, experiencing, experimenting, but also refreshing previously acquired knowledge. So thank you very much for this video 😊
Thank you so much for saying that! I’m glad to hear that the video resonated with you as an advanced artist. I completely agree-art is a continuous journey of learning, trying new things, and revisiting what we already know. I appreciate your feedback ♡
I really enjoyed this video!!!! Your paintings are truly masterpieces!!! I'll definitely try to paint with this demo! For me portait painting is just like magic!!
Oh, that’s lovely to hear, thank you so much!! And I agree, portrait painting is something magical! I hope your attempt at painting this turns out great :)
Useful introduction, thanks. Glad to hear oil is forgiving. I've wanted to try oil painting for a while now but it always seemed like it would only be suited for artists with a high level of talent
Yes, I personally find oil painting easier than getting into watercolor or acrylics. Oils may seem complicated on the surface (like needing to use a medium), but in reality, that’s not a hurdle at all. And in my opinion, they’re very satisfying to work with. So good luck-I hope it works out for you as well!
Absolutely loved this! Recently started learning oil paints and this is a perfect little beginner guide. Going to try recreating that eye now. Would love if you did more videos like this. Nose, ear, mouth ? as things to paint along to.
Dieses Video ist einst der Besten in diesem Bereich. Ich habe lange nicht mehr ein so informatives, lehrreiches und schönes Video gesehen. Sie sind eine hervorragende Künstlerin und ich danke Ihnen, dass Sie uns dieses tolle Video zur Verfügung gestellt haben. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, weitere Videos von Ihnen zu sehen.
Thank you so much! It can definitely be a bit intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of it, there’s so much to love. I’m glad you’re enjoying it now ♡
I'm so grateful for this tutorial! I've always loved oil painting, but I was too scared or confused to try it. This video cleared up my confusion. I'm going to buy paints and give oil painting a shot. Thanks again!
You are an amazing artist. But, it's impossible to express in words coz u paint so wonderful ❤ I didn't even imagine that much beautifully you paint💞 nd I have a question plz can u answer me ? My question is which brand oil painting are u using plz tell me the name of the oil paint nd I want to start oil painting, so plz give me some tips 🥺
Радий бачити, що знову зʼявляються відео на каналі. Дуже хочу спробувати помалювати фарбами, передивився вже всі ваші відоси) лишилось тільки у відпустку попасти. Дякую за вашу працю P. s. Сподіваюсь розумієте українську, ми білоруську розуміємо чудово))
I noted that you use Rosemary & Co Brushes for oil painting. Can you show what serie and type of brush are . At your next videos sooner if was possible. Thank you
Hi Daria! First of all, I wanted to tell you that I really like your work! I wanted to know how to frame canvases because I also use block canvases but not being mounted on a stretcher, I don't want the pictorial layer to move? PS: Sorry for my English...
Hey! Usually, I dip a brush in medium and then wipe it with a paper towel before picking up a color that’s very different from the previous one. When I’m done painting, I wash the brushes with soap and warm water-it’s important to clean them while they’re still wet.
Hello! I would appreciate if you read this message. I have a question. Is it actually harder to draw such soft, and delicate things with acrylic painting? Or is it the canvas that is important? Should it be really really smooth? Cause mine looks like it made of threads.
That’s a tough question for me because I don’t have much experience with acrylics. However, I assume it's possible to achieve very soft and realistic results with them too, though the technique would be quite different. As for surfaces, I personally prefer smoother ones. When I use canvases, I like to apply a few extra layers of gesso or acrylic primer and sand between each layer to create a smoother texture. This isn't necessary, but I just prefer it that way, and I do find it easier to blend paint on a smoother surface.
I have noticed that you are showing paint brands - I have been using Master Class finding them to be of astounding quality for the money - I find, when being encouraged to follow a tutorial, it is advised to use the paints that are being used b the artist - using other paints can be very surprising - especially if they are very high pigmented - you just can't get the color out of your brush without really washing them, and I try to just clean them using walnut oil they hold the form much longer - you are now bringing Winsor & Newton into your work - I am personally picky when it comes to my paints - Is there a reason you are doing this? Are you opening up to experiment with other brands - have you used high pigment paints like Old Holland, Blockx, Gamblin, Wiliamsburg, Michael Harding ? Do you have some wisdom on that - input would be highly appreciated - thank you.
Another thing artists forget when painting from a computer screen is that you have to make sure the screen is not so bright you cannot match the values.
Thank you for the feedback! I spoke more slowly in my past videos, but then I’d get comments saying I was speaking too slowly and might be boring people. It’s tricky to find a pace that works for everyone, if that’s even possible. I appreciate your input
