As a portrait artist myself, I have to tell you my friend, my hat's totally off to you. You achieved an incredible likeness and a beautiful (miniature) painting in a remarkably small amount of time (and you did it with the distraction of livestreaming!!!!). I soooo respect your relentlessness in trying to nail down the tiny details (and again, to do that LIVE as people watch AND COMMENT is truly impressive). I absolutely love painting portraits (mine take considerably longer to complete), but I often have to explain to people that there's simply no more challenging thing to paint. If you paint a bowl of oranges, and you get the shapes wrong, or even the local colors, no one will be the wiser. But when you're painting AN ACTUAL PERSON, and you get ONE EYELASH wrong, it can change the entire look of they eye and strain the likeness. ...and people are VERY OPINIONATED about how exactly right a portrait artist was or was not. Then too, the portrait artist can perfectly nail the likeness, but the clients see a different side of the subject, that the artist may not see or care to portray... The challenges are endless. So, again, the fact you tackled all of that, LIVE, WITH AN AUDIENCE, on an extremely small portrait, with virtually no margin for error, and then you produced such a gorgeous painting which absolutely nailed the likeness, is extremely impressive and inspiring. Congratulations!!!
Mon but: peindre comme toi!! J’ai toujours griffonné maintenant à 53 ans, je veux peindre des visage à l’huile. Tu es mon inspiration. Mon exemple à suivre. Merci !! M.J du Québec, Canada!!
I'm just mesmerized and shaken by such beautiful work! New subbie! Your painting felt and looked more alive than the original. I loved hearing the family in the background enjoying themselves too, lol.
Thanks for another wonderful painting. It surely takes a lot of skill to paint and instruct at the same time plus using English. The children were a joy to hear.
I really like your approach to portraits. You've relaxed, comfortable and confident. It get from your sessions is that its not hard to obtain such beautiful artwork as you do. We just need to put in the time and effort. And for the record, I thing your painting is much more beautiful than the photo Reference. I also love the sounds of the children laughing and playing. Most studios are deathly quiet, but your's is full of life, love and laughter. Its a life that inspires much more than art.
Hello ==> from Jacksonville, Florida. This is my 1st time seeing a LIVE painting on wood. I'm Adrienne by the way. Multi-tasking while I prepare for breakfast and work.
Beautiful 😍 i learn a lot of watching you. Soo happy for finding your video. I am new in painting faces. Sorry bad english..it's a long time since i go to school🙈
When you do the blending think is the brush dry or medium or thinner or anything. Ps you are so amazing meanwhile so chill your channel was a golden find. Thankyou
Hello, I messaged you through instagram earlier today and I would like to thank you for making this video. Thank you. It has helped to inspire me to finish a wax figure head of Shania Twain that I am currently commissioned to paint. You had said that you might want to move to Canada. I wonder if you've done that. Have a magnificent day, Love, Nicole
I yelled up to my daughter thinking it was her screaming untill she was alone watching a show of her own and I heard it again in the background of this video. Sounds like a dog is maybe playing also. Your concentration is on point my friend
Man i really love your style and deminer. Do you only paint portraits? Can i ask if you do landscape also. I saw a few still lifes but was lioking to see some landscape from you i think you would do an amazing job at it.
good likeness however, you messed up on the nose, the mouth and most of all the eyes! Her eyes are much darker and her nose is definitely not that fat! As for her lips, they look a little jacked. sorry, but it needs more work!!!

Amazing video my friend. Have a wonderful day. 🤩 Like 558
Renso que pena que no actives los subtítulos en castellano, tus palabras son muy importantes.
Un saludo.
if you fix her nose and darken her eyes that might help?
1:09:46 those children are having entirely too much fun!
I yelled up to my daughter thinking it was her screaming untill she was alone watching a show of her own and I heard it again in the background of this video. Sounds like a dog is maybe playing also. Your concentration is on point my friend
Good evening, Renso.
what if u went over the top eyelid again so the highlight is halved
Man i really love your style and deminer. Do you only paint portraits? Can i ask if you do landscape also. I saw a few still lifes but was lioking to see some landscape from you i think you would do an amazing job at it.
What Experience can do ! Def Experience?
Так то живописно. но только как будто девушка всю ночь плакала: глаза красные, опухшие, носик тоже припух. А ведь на фото воплощение изящества.
good likeness however, you messed up on the nose, the mouth and most of all the eyes! Her eyes are much darker and her nose is definitely not that fat! As for her lips, they look a little jacked. sorry, but it needs more work!!!
Fix the nose, darken eyes darker hair space between eyes? Highlight on nose wrong
MY FRIEND OUHAVE ISPIRED ME TOLEARN HOW TO PAIT PHOTO REALISTIC PANTINS EVEN THOUGH I AM 64 EARS OLD NEVER TO LATE GOD BLESS YOU 🙏🏻
Keep going there are stories of people your age and older starting careers and loving it good luck and keep painting I'll be rooting for you
👍✌️
It is interesting that the face in the painting is sad, maybe the eyes are too bright? It's like she's crying...
The portrait looks good.........but you made her look sad.....😅
Looks like she was crying. Too much red arond her eyes.
yeah you are right
Все хорошо глаза как живые не хочу обитеть ноздри внутри дырочки не так выражено щеки слишком округление а так все классно
OK much better.
The nose needs work the rest is good . Bien a vous
Se c'era la traduzione in italiano...capiremo meglio
