Sioux Elder oil painting

Painting the human face can be daunting to paint. Where do you even start? Follow along as I show you how I do it from start to finish. Along the way, I'll talk about how I approach potential models to ask them to allow me to take photos of them for painting reference.

Thanks Steve, another great demo. I always enjoy listening and watching you paint. I love your art style, keep demos coming. I live next to the White Mountain Apache Reservation. They have some beautiful young ladies I think you might like to paint in their native dresses.

Beautiful as usual. Would be cool to see the reference so I can see what is being done how. No pun intended

[@SteveAtkinsonFineArt]

Hiya Dougg1075, I appreciate that! You probably noticed that I did post the original photo reference near the beginning of the video, but probably should have had it up on screen in the corner all along the way... well, there's always next time! 😉

[@bab-cast1973]

Awesome work! Can you share what colors you used?

[@peterthomas6991]

This is wonderful. Also who sings this song? Ty

[@MatijaVuk-z9n]

can I use linseed oil instead turpentine to thin the starting layers of painting for faster application of the paint ?

[@hpyle5592]

You OK man? Miss your stuff...

[@artruistic]

Who sings the song?
