Thanks for sharing techniques for different skin tones and textures. Your instructions help me see color more clearly.

I purchased your Paul tutorial and I am currently working on it. This really helps explain your palette choices to get the colors you do! My Paul was looking a little orangey 😂

Thank you for this incredibly generous wealth of Hue, Value, and Chroma knowledge in this video! Finding that balance of the three is the challenge; however your technique shows that it can be done consistently. I have been using Utrecht's Davey's Gray, in place of raw umber and it seems to be a more subtle addition than raw umber (semi-opaque).

Damn dude, you paint a lot like Bouguereau !

You do beautiful work! The old masters had natural, gas, or candle light to paint. Before electric. That has to throw a whole different approach to portraits I'd guess. Color of flame, one light source. I've seen classes on y.t. but none with non electric light source. I'm guessing the painter would have their own candle, with the light blocked from the sitter? Pretty sure that in it self would alter your colors. They say carrivagio painted by candle light. His colors seem like that to me..orangish. might be a fun thing to try, just to see the differences.

I know that my question is a little bit off topic, but it's kinda important to me, so here we go.
Coming from traditional media like oils, gouache and water colors, I switched to digital painting recently because I have no decency room to establish an atelier at the moment.
So, my question would be, given the right tools, is it possible to recreate your way of painting digitally.
I use Krita, a free and open source software which comes with a broad variation of brushes, including some who emulate wet paint on canvas.
I really admire the realistic portraits and your flesh tones are unbelievably well done.

Digital is nothing compared to using real paint or pigments.

[@MarcoKrieger]

@stephentravis2250 I think that's not entirely true.
The pigments/colors are pretty much the same.
The difficult part is mixing the colors, because there is no mixing pallet in digital painting.
That's why I'm interested in his particular style. It's the blending part of the process I think does the work here.

Fuck yes!! Awesome Scott!!

2:33 Yep. It can be a 💩 of a vocation.

[@alanjane4605]

Christ. Haven't you done this before? Scott. No more of your colour.

[@bobymox]

You need a blue colour on your palet.🫠
