    I’m 76, but as a 12 year old, I got to know a major portrait painter. The first thing I learned was to do a green underpainting. I’ve used that complementary color idea ever since, whether it’s with oils, acrylics, pastels, or pencil. It’s always aroused confusion, wonder, and questions about the extra time it takes. This video is an excellent demonstration of the idea. And the extra tips on the different characteristics of pressure and brands of pencils are very helpful. Great job!

      This reminds me of classical layering / glazing oil painting techniques where Earth Greens were used in the underpainting / grisaille in particular in the flash tone areas. I did not realize that this would also work great in colored pencil drawings. Anyway, it is a very inspiring video, and one day, when my current creative block is overcome, I definitely will remember this video and try it out. Very inspiring and great drawing skills.

      Does this green under painting only apply for light skinned painting?… can it also be used for a dark skinned painting?

    Its interesting how similar the unfinished product looks to how someone looks when theyre dead. When the pigmentation in the skin thins out as skin cells die, there is a yellowish, pale color that happens. It makes sense to use an organic base to measure an organic result

    Hi po, Kuya BMD. After watching this video, it made me remember the time na drinawing ko po si Padre Pio. At first, natakot po akong gamitin yung Verdaccio (Green base) technique thinking na magrereflect yung green sa buong mukha nya. However, I trusted the process of adding more colors after the green base technique, and yun, my Padre Pio portrait turned out to be realsitic...

    I'd probably be cautious implementing this technique for subjects with a cooler undertone when portraying their skintone truthfully - it could give them an aged or muddy effect that may not be flattering. For those with warmer "olive" coloring this would work beautifully.

      I've been adult colouring for around 3three yrs now, and one of the biggest problems I have is seeing what colours are actually in skin and hair etc. I would never have seen the green in skin unless it was pointed out to me, in videos such as this. I was the same with hair, I just didn't see, for example, the amount of blue there is, in black hair. It's such valuable knowledge to have and makes a huge difference.

    Your accent sounds Arabic. Are you from somewhere in the Middle-East? Israel or Saudi Arabia? I always wonder if I can guess where someone lives. I may be wrong but it sounds like Middle-East somewhere. Green cancels out red. They are opposite on the color wheel. So, if you start with a base of green, you simply have less red intensity for any orange and red pencils you use. Less saturation. The light green (light meaning small amount) is enough to dull the red from too saturated to more naturally saturated for skin color. You could have used blue also. Blue cancels orange and orange is basically where skin (CAUCASIAN) resides. You probably could have used gray also. It's sort of like saying hey I found a great math.... 3 - 1 = 2! But someone else says 2 - 0 = 2 and someone else says 1 + 1 = 2. Many ways to get to 2! I like the idea of getting your very darkest darks in EARLY so you have the full value range already there at least in parts so you can better gauge the amount of color to add. Be careful adding green to the very lightest areas. Don't want them to appear green. Tip of nose seems to exhibit this adverse effect. If you have enough color choices in your pencil set, I think you could just use a dark dull brown to sketch the basic shapes then just start using the correct colors instead of shifting the entire face toward green. But whatever way works best for someone is what they probably should do. Thx for the idea.

      @TruthSurge Месяц назад

      @@BMDPortraits ah, okay. I was not sure if it was Middle-East or where. But you know, using green or blue or gray, you can still get some good results. MY opinion is that lots of artists choose to use COLORS only (no black and very limited white for reclaiming the hilights at the end). So, using green or blue as a base can work and possibly it's up to the artist as to what result is best. Sometimes it's just easier to put a base of some color and shade but you know, if your idea is to keep it artsy, then color is not as important as shape and values. :) Keep rockin! Your results look really good!!!
