  • This guy has a big head. This is 7 x 7 inches, oil on hardboard, using photo reference. This is sped up 5x, so if you use the video controls to playback at 0.25x, it's pretty close to real time.

    you are disgustingly good my man. there will be a dark part that's completely amorphous and then with one stroke it completely changes the context of a whole area. beautiful.

    Brilliant. It's frustrating that you get such realism with so little rendering! I love it.
    Video title is misleading. You used a paintbrush throughout.

    Stunning! Love that you took time in beginning to create the primary colors for the portrait. Love that you leave the paint and don’t beat it to death. My only criticism is I would have picked more of a color for the background value. Overall, absolutely gorgeous.

    I've always wanted to try starting with a black/dark background since I learned batman the animated series was done that way. it does so much for the shadows/shading you can't get working the other way round.

      Everyone starts somewhere, but you have to start. Learn from Proko and James Gurney. Read 'Art and Fear.' In the end, experience will hone your skill.

    Are you mixing any mediums into your paint? I looked through a bunch of comments on a bunch of videos and can't find if you've answered that already, I'm sorry if you have.

      Score! Yes, these are hardboard/masonite panels primed with acrylic gesso and toned with acrylic paint.

  • @Cassie-on3gq
    @Cassie-on3gq 6 років тому

    When you prime your canvas do you use the oil as it is or do you thin it if I may ask. Love your stuff!!

    • @LarrivaArt
      @LarrivaArt  6 років тому +1

      No thinner. Turps, kerosene, even odorless mineral spirits all give me a headache.

      That's walnut oil, just to make the surface more slippery.
