Oil Painting Tutorial | Grisaille Techniques. PORTRAIT STUDY For Beginners and onwards.

- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Here is a very interesting oil painting technique I used for years... Grisaille. All it is, is having the underpainting as tones of grey. Let this dry and add multiples of layers of colour to the desired effect. You will be surprised how the finished skin tones are so different to the other technique... straight colour. Loving having the chance to share all that I know with oils with you over the months/years to come.
My passion is to help you to create realistic and soulful artwork. If you found this video useful, please give it a like. Be sure to comment and say hello and let me know what kind of videos you'd like to see

Here is a Material list for you: I tend to use a mix of Artist's quality Windsor & Newton and Michael Harding paints. The latter being my favourite choice as he makes them like the old masters did many years ago.
Please note: if you are just starting out, and price of materials are an issue, I would recommend the Windsor & Newton *Winton series... these have the same quality pigment as the Winsor & Newton Artists series but less of it, there are more fillers and extenders in them but the quality is still there at a smaller cost... just click on any link below and search for them as the cheaper option. The more expensive option below, the benefits are, they last longer as they are super rich in pigment and they are amazing to work with.

I must have watched hundreds of tutorial over the years but none that are as good as this one. It's clear, narrated in a way that's clear to follow. Your tutorials in pastels are the same but oils hold a special place for me and just hope you do more. Thanks Dave

Ive taught myself to paint grisaille but am having a time starting the colors. God bless you, ive never in years of watching other artists describe the energy that i too practice, unknowingly, just as you described. How wonderful!
You are so welcome, I really cant draw at all if I don't let go and let it flow. Thanks for watching and the kind words. All the very best 🙏
The comment near the end "I just switch off all names and just see what's there" is so simple yet profound. Great advice.
Thanks for the great feedback Karen.... not naming things makes all the difference with keeping everything relaxed and natural. All the very best. 🙏
This is exactly the turorial that I was looking for! Thank you Dave, you answered A LOT of my questions about the grissaile and glaze method.
Thanks for the great feedback Pat... reassuring that the video comes across well. It is an interesting technique for sure. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment... much appreciated. 🙏

Dave, thank you so much for sharing your techniques and experience! I have struggled for years to learn how to create good skin tones in oils and finally! This will work for my watercolor work too and I can’t wait to practice! Your color mixes and teaching have really helped to pull things together in a way that makes sense!
You are so welcome Donna! thrilled you have found value in the video. I like to keep thing simple and straightforward... I the same combination in my watercolour work as well as pastels. all the very best 🥰🙏

Amazing work! You're a great teacher.
Thank you! 🙏
Appreciate the very kind words, reassuring that the video comes across well. You are welcome... all the very best 😊🙏
So calm to watch you paint. Im very new to oil paint and Im taking a class for it. But im so frustrated because Im so bad at it. But watching your video it give me hope that one day I'll be good. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
That is wonderful feedback, good to know the video is calming. The most important thing is the surface you work on, it has to be non absorbent, I use Michael Harding's Non absorbent acrylic primer. . I would struggle without making sure the surface is prepared well. Please check out my video on how to prepare your surface... here is the link... ruclips.net/video/xdYV9zcYilM/видео.html
You are welcome... All the very best with your oil painting journey. 😊🙏
Hi Dave,
Thank you for the tips and response. Appreciate it very much. Hopefully one day I can purchased one of you paintings. My husband and I love art he purchased painting from Michael Cheval and also from Steve Harvey.
Hopefully one day you'll visit Orlando Florida and visit art gallery here and maybe you could display some of your art. Im your biggest fun.
Thanks a lot for sharing to us your gift of art and beauty to the world. I will keep watching your videos and learn from it.
Keep up the awesome work and God bless.
This is a really great video. I've tried to come back to painting from many years of illustrative doodling and lately graphite. Colour has never been my strongest point but I've come a really long way and feel much more comfortable with colour from watching your clips. Thanks!
Ps. Your channel is probably my favourite for pastel and oil portrait techniques, I love your approaches
Thank you so much for the reassuring feedback. thrilled you have found my colour technique helpful... I keep thing nice and straight forward regarding colour.... wishing you all the very best. 🙏
... that means the world to me. Thanks for watching my videos, much appreciated. 🙏
I loved this tutorial and your discussion of connecting energy with the image ❤
Thank you so much! it does play an important part of my technique for sure. 🙏
Thank you for sharing 🙏 I am going to try my first glaze over griselle today.
Very clear advice, love your connection with the subject!
You are so welcome.... all the best with your glazing... it is a very interesting method for sure. Opening your energy to the subject really transform the overall feeling. 🙏
Thanks I’ll let you know how I get on!
Best work sir 🎉❤

U r really great artist ❤
Thanks for the kind words and thank you so much for watching. 😊🙏
Wow 🎉
Thank you so much! 🙏
Thanks for sharing Dave
You are welcome Kristie... thanks for watching 🙂🙏
brilliant!!! I think the same gray process could be done with pastels? due to the ease of evaluating the tones.... greetings from Ecuador
Thank you so much Anibal.... here is a link where I use grey first then colour over the top using pastels... this is the first part of a 3 part series. ruclips.net/video/a0SUjxdZLpg/видео.html All the very best... thanks for watching in Ecuador 😊🙏
* thankyou! Scrubbing the colour in* is the phrase i needed to hear. Otherwise, I am finding brushstrokes in the colour glaze are mucking up the surface effect...which as i understand it, needs to be as flat as possible (no texture)
And what you said about opening up your heart to the subject of the painting, great instruction thsnkyou 😊
I find paint gets a bit slippy with too much Liquin in the mix... thanks for watching and the reassuring feedback, thrilled you found the video useful. 🙏
tbh I can't draw or paint a thing now if I am not focused in my heart. You are welcome... all the best. 🙏
And to you!
Dave... facing the painting the left eye isn't quite closed enough, up to the bottom of the eye color. The right eye is good.
😉👍
You are correct, this would have been adjusted as the painting progressed.
@@DavePortersArt
... but I've slacked my desire to paint through the years.
You are a great artist by now... good for you Dave for sticking to your love for the fine arts. It does pay off after all. 😊😇🥰😁🌿🙏⚘
Perfect tutorial of course. I was hoping to find a fast way to simply quickly glaze clear flesh tones over a monochromatic portrait's flesh areas so that I could paint a portrait every few work days as a small business. I can do good likenesses in graphite but want to switch over to oils for the open wet paint time and the color. Is this possible, and if so, thanks for any help.
joyce
Thank you Joyce .. I would suggest adding more liquin so each stage dries overnight. Be sure to put the painting in a heated room to help the drying time. 🙏
Maybe the energy is why I am struggling with this particular portrait that I am working on. Hard feelings between the two of us.
Connection to the energy of the subject makes all the difference for sure... All the very best 🙏
Thanks for this nformative video. Question, are you painting with oil directly over graphite? I sketch Bargue plates with graphite and charcoal, and wanted to try applying the atelier technique with oil. I assumed I couldn't paint over a sketch as graphite will show through especially in lighter values. Thanks.
Hi there, thrilled you found the video informative. To answer your question... I draw the outline with a HB graphite pencil, then I ghost this by rubbing over lightly with a Faber Castel Kneadable Eraser. I do know of artists that spray over a loose Charcoal drawing, and then paint over it... so it can be done. Best to try it out to see if that way suits you. all the very best 🙏
Why did you paint in black and white first please?
This is the Grisaille technique... painting black and white first and letting this dry before painting over it creates very interesting effects, the skin tones seems to breath and glow. 🙏
When you are glazing over the grisaille, are you using the same colour you would use if there was no grisaille or has the colour been modified BECAUSE of the grisaille? Thanks
Hi David, Actually the same colours, the grisaille creates a different feel to the colour. Still, it is the same colour combination for sure.
@@DavePortersArt
Thanks
Hello Dave, is it possible to do the color with soft or pan pastels on top of the greyscale?
I reckon it would work well... I would suggest having a go and see, personal I would fix the grayscale then go over it. All the very best 😊🙏
Do you also do watercolours & Acrylic
I love Watercolour and have dabbled a bit to with Acrylics. 😊🙏
Are the layers mixed with a medium? or straight paint?
just a little liquin... not a lot. 🙏
hello
Hello Jeff... thanks for watching. 🙏
