  • I hope you all enjoy this quick session on portrait painting. I wanted to express how I think about building up form and being more expansive with your mark making rather than being beholden to your drawing.

    RUclips has really brought out of the darkness all this talent of painters and really puts in perspective that there's a lot of better artists out there and if you want to compete you better be original and have your own style. Don't try to mimic someone else's art just be you and you'll be just fine and don't be intimidated by others that's just gonna make you not want to be a painter.

    I found this video hilarious. The painting bumbles along for six or seven minutes of it, and near the end you talk about "thinking of leaving it there". And then, suddenly, apparently out of nowhere, in a laugh out loud moment, it "turns out alright". Really? I can't honestly say that it's one of the best paintings I've ever seen - for the simple reason that it is THE best painting I've ever seen, above all others, ever. The quality of light is beyond superb. I could look at this for hours. Truly, this is the work of a genius, it really is. Thank you for sharing it with the world.

    Enjoyed the video. I think the antipathy against tracing or projecting the drawing is that it is an effective way to get accurate proportions and easy to do. Whereas drawing is hard to do and it is easy to make mistakes on the proportions. So it’s natural to resent artist that use techniques that to a lay viewer appear “better” but take little skill /effort. Woodworkers who use hand tools can feel the same about someone who uses a CNC milling machine. Why not resent someone that gets the results without having to pay in terms of skill .

    • @talbertart
      @talbertart  3 года назад +2

      Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks! I wouldn't say I resent people that trace or project their drawing, but it's just not a method that resonates with me and often times I don't think the results are all that interesting. However there are times when I've seen it done in a unique way that I like. I just think its important for artists to learn the fundamentals of drawing and painting and working from life. If you jump right to tracing and filling it in with paint you'll miss out on a deeper understanding of painting.

    The colours you are using in the 1 layer and in 2nd layer are different right ? Did you use light colour value as compared to the 1st layer ?

  • @bjarkiaxelsson1449
    @bjarkiaxelsson1449 3 года назад +3

    How are you layering so many paint layers ? Do you go gradually from thinnest to thickest with each new color ? Mine always blend with the previous layer :(

    • @talbertart
      @talbertart  3 года назад

      When I put a color down I'm thinking about what it will be interacting with on the canvas. There are many factors involved in how the paint layers will interact, like how thick or thin your paint is, how hard or soft you press your brush down when applying it, how much medium or thinner you're using. I think its just years of practice and knowing what will happen when I put this color on top of that color. Sorry if this is confusing. Thanks for watching!

      Yeah, it's frustrating when my camera stops recording and I don't realize it. I wouldn't call it a composition change. It's just me refining the placement of the nose and mouth, basically fixing drawing errors as I paint.

    @art-ion 3 года назад

    Nice tacking on the portrait. However, in my opinion, you could easily start right away with 1:12 without any outlines. I agree that you need to put paint on the surface, in order to have material to work with. So block in big color shapes and move them and refine in the process. You want a loose and spontaneous portrait? Set yourself free out the cage of outlines!
