My eyes : yes, I got it ! My hand : No, you don't.
You are the best, hello I am painting on UA-cam with red brush art. Please come and watch a lot and subscribe. ^^ 😄😄😄
Sorry, I don’t understand your comment?
@@tinkerno11 You think it is easy when you are watching it but then you realise it is not when you actually try to paint it. Better?
P S oh yes, I watch a lot of these and think how easy these professionals with years of training make it look. On and off I’ve been working on the famous painting “Girl with a Pearl Earring” for 3 years, but when I try and use the information like I’ve looked at today, it most certainly will not go the same. I
will not give up on this though because I’ve already put too much into it! She may not look quite the same at the girl but it will be my version!
My mind this is easy you can do it...reality not even close
Ben: "highlights are cool"
Me: "damn right they are"
Ben: "this is a cool highlight, crimson and white"
Me: "hell yeah it is!"
Ben: "lights are cool, shadows are warm..."
Me: "oh, that's what he meant..."
Indeed indeed.
LOL
Wow! Ja, dat is het!
SAME! Hahahahahahahaa
youre funny lol
this video changed my life I just painted the best portrait I've ever made
Thank you Elizabeth. Nice to hear. For people like you my commitment to make videos.
My art teacher sent this to me and I swear it was the most detailed and helpful video I’ve ever seen. That’s some amazing work... as someone else said, I really can’t believe this was free!
It is my pleasure!
Thank You 🙏🏼
God bless him!! I am going to keep watching it till it sinks in
I cannot believe I just watched this whole video for free... it was so amazing
After summer more to come.
ikr, that's why i finish all the ads on his vids instead.

@Maria Teodora Costiuc 1qqqq1
the face construction follows the parameters of the lace line in drawing, a logical procedure well done
This video needs a love button. Like isn’t up to the task.
Agree! An amazing tutorial.
Very nice
I guess everyone that watch this video, leave this site, with loving taste of gratitude to the owner of this tutorial... so also do I..
“Maybe that’s too much(red),he’s not an alcoholic” 😭🤣🤣
I was impressed on how you never saw the artist's hand. He holds the brush at the very end. That gives his work a very loose and natural look. Amazing!
The painting movement comes from the shoulder. Not from the wrist.
"When you start making it simpler, it's easier to paint. Don't see it too complicated. Usually people see far too many colors." Oh, this is so true!!! Thank you for putting into words why I struggle.
Same!
On the nose painting at 14:40 "Maybe that is too much, he's not a alcoholic" LMAO! Anyway, a great watch and thank you so much for this! Just started painting again and this was extremely helpful!
I was just about to post the same thing re the "alcoholic" comment.
Came to say this 😂😂😂😂
Hahaha yes yes, i like his humour :D
Omg, I never understood why I intuitively knew beyond logic someone had a drinking problem.
I will be watching this several times. So much information. A great education for FREE.
Thank you Ben. You are so generous with your experience.
Thanks!❤ Years ago I studied oil portraits with a very fine artist, Bill Kalwick. He moved away and it was over. Today I found your video and I feel I’ve found him again. I do love your video and teaching and I will watch all of them. I am inspired again. Thank you so much, Virginia Perle. !!!
Thank you so much Virginia. So nice!
I have been struggling with portraits so much until I learned this! I've been through so many videos and none of them helped, so happy I came across this. You are the BEST Mr. Lustenhouwer, thank you so much!!
“not too much as I said, you don't want him to cry"
Sorry, I LAUGH
You are the best, hello I am painting on UA-cam with red brush art. Please come and watch a lot and subscribe. ^^ 😄😄😄
I must add I have never seen a tutorial where an artist is so much at ease with his brush and that really knows exactly what every stroke will do ...... I am so impressed and learned so much.
Amazing how the different tones marry up to complete the whole face.
Perfection. 29 years in art, and somebody finally explains it in a simplified manner. I took notes like Dylan.
Thank you Mark
@@lustenhouwer, no. Please. Thank you. Where are you from originally, Mr. Lustenhouwer? If you don't mind my asking.
This was so helpful, detailed and extremely well taught! I've watched other oil painting videos about this topic but I always felt like it was way too much information but this really makes it simple and easy to understand. Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you, I am glad you liked it.
@@lustenhouwer Thankyou - so appreciated, you are a wonderful teacher
Your work is amazing detailed and extremely well taught! I've watched your video plenty of times
@@princeyem2684 igualmente // Él es como un buen libro .Cada vez que entras aprendes más.
Sometimes (very rarely) you come across pure gold dust instruction. This is one such. This is simply brilliant!
Really sweet of you to post such a detailed video online for free!
Thanks a ton!❤
Thank you
“If you need black, don’t paint black “
Where has this been my whole life. So that’s why my hairs look like they’ve been forced in a bucket of black wall paint
Thank you so much for the video💕💕💕💕
my pleasure.
Просто шикарное объяснение!!! Полный восторг!!
You are welcome.
not gonna lie,, youtube teached me way more than my art classes...
You are not the first one who says so
@@lustenhouwer Ditto for me - I've had too many art teachers that really did't know much and taught me even less.
This is an art class!
Nice, nice. Wonderful artist. Can tell youve been doing this many years. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
My whole life indeed. Thank you
I’ve always wanted to paint portraits and have been so intimidated. Your video showed me so simply and clearly how to begin, I started painting alongside you and am so excited. I’m now comfortable to start and keep learning. Thank you so much!
Thank you, Keep painting.
How are you doing now?
Hello Mr. Lustenhouwer! This is the simplest and most ingenious tutorial I've seen. Thank you, sir.
I agree!
I agree!!! Thank you so much ❤️
one can only simplify if he knows it good enough
Very calming video in a time of great chaos. Stay well and continue painting. Thank you for sharing.
I clicked like when I heard the direct opening word, simply thank you for saving audience time and I know it will be good cause when somebody have really important thing to say they normally straight to the point.
Maybe . Thank you
The level of detailed you add in picture shows , in what level of dedication you imagine and notice small and a bit of detailed nature . You definitely learn a beautiful skill of portraying what you imagine in life .
Here's my respect ❤
A good painting is always about imagination. Thank you
Sehr schön
the face of the sir in the end made me want to cry, I want him to be my grandfather, lo quiero mucho sir
I hVe done 6 paintings of my daughter and it has been awful each time. I will now try o paint it using these techniques. Oh I wish it will work for me! Thank you so much for helping to keep my enthusiasm alive.
Вау, какое полезное видео! Как хорошо, что есть русские субтитры. Спасибо большое :>
Thank you.
Thanks so much! I have a child’s portrait I have started over and now have a solid plan!
Good luck!
It’s fascinating that you
can do this from memory.
Здравствуйте ,мистер Люстенхауэр!! Это замечательный урок,особая вам благодарность,за русский перевод .Если можно,сделай больше уроков с русским переводом.Пожалуста.
Thank you so much. Was the translation ok?
I've been struggling with shades and shadows. After watching this, I'm going to practice to hopefully get the right colors. Thanks a million Ben.
No thanks.
Meisters Kurs! Thank you for filming this!
You are welcome.
If you want to learn how to paint fine art, go Dutch, you’ll hardly go wrong. Just as great as the Italians with the bonus of explanation in clear plain English.
We’ve just seen a perfect example here, thank you.
Thank you also on telling me to toss using black while painting humans. The temptation is huge though, especially when painting dark skin.
But it’s true also in real life, shadows are never pure black.
mrebholz I didn't find the channel you recommended. Please help
But always warm? That's confusing.
Moses Jungai: i believe the recommendation is not for a channel but for the type of painter/painting. The Dutch painters and their techniques are amazing.
Well, the dutch did teach the italians to paint with oil:)
I just love this and your not wanting to make him cry sure made me laugh you are a sweet heart, thank you for this
Как все понятно. Всё разложил по полочкам.как бы я хотела учиться у такого учителя.Спасибо вам огромное❤
!! You are a genius !!
Thank you.
my ENGLISH is BAD to tell you How happy I am right now while I am watching your videos . I save my artwork.. Thanks you so muchhhhh
not only this was very educational and useful, but also watching it was weirdly soothing and calming
i had very anxious day and this helped me to relax
thank you for this video!
Prachtige en leerzame instructie!!!
Dank je Camille
I'm sad that I only came across this channel today. I cannot believe this is free. Thank you so much, Ben!
You are welcome.
Thanks sir for this lesson
My sister and I thank you from our hearts. I always learn so much from your tutorials. Cheers
The color you think you see! Klasse!
Thanks
A million thank yous Ben!
You are welcome
Ben thank you so much for being kind to share this free lesson. This is really great. Love it
I think it's important to point out that, while this is a good technique for beginner painters, you should understand *WHY* this works and *WHEN* this works. This technique works best when there is a lightsource at 45 degrees above the subject's face - which is the case for many paintings, especially beginners' paintings. Why this works in this context is a matter of colour temperature in respect to a light source. As demonstrated by Vincent Desiderio in many lectures freely available on UA-cam, there must be a shift in temperature throughout the form respective to changes in zones of light, which I believe is what Ben's technique is accomplishing. There must be a difference in colour temperature between the incidence of reflection (highlight), midtones (turning of the light), shadows, and reflected light. This needs to be considered when your light source is not in the conventional direction of 45 degrees above the head.
Thank you. Yes
Huh?
Barbara Sylvain warm colors protrude & cool colors recede.
Dont just feather 2 pre-existing colors together to create a mid tone (the color between light & dark) Instead mix them by considering color temperature. Also edges: soft edges create the illusion that something is curving gradually like a hill & sharp edges r steep like a cliff.....Turning the form is a phrase used to describe representing 3 dimensional shapes on a flat surface (canvas, etc) Having the cheek for instance recede back or the nose sloping across the bridge with soft edges between the dark, mid tone, & lights or the jaw line having a sharper edge representing a quicker turn from light (cheek) to dark (under the jaw connecting to the neck).
I hope this helps....u can find more under ‘color theory’.
.....and the principals can b used painting any form, not just skin &/or people. Landscapes & still lives too. Happy painting!
Love Life, Make Art
@@friedricengravy6646 I look forward to trying this today. Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply! I printed it out so I can refer to it as I paint art, love life and learn!
Barbara Sylvain Big smiles!! My pleasure.....thank u for saying so.
This is such a wonderful tutorial. Thank you for sharing your incredible skills , I have learnt so much in just half an hour!
Zeer instructieve video! Dank je wel, Ben!!
Graag gedaan Leon.
I'm glad to learn those 3 color zones; this was a nice show.
Wounderful tutorial,so helpful for beginners and artlovers, thank you sir
Thank you ❤
C’est magistral, votre manière d’expliquer est tellement limpide, aussi limpide que votre main est sûre. Et, de plus, votre anglais, votre diction, le rythme lent avec lequel vous parlez sont parfaitement compréhensibles pour les non anglophones.
Je tiens à vous remercier de la générosité de votre enseignement et de l’apport indéniable que vous faites à notre pratique amateur.
C’est toujours avec un plaisir non dissimulé que je suis vos vidéos.
Thank you for writing me, it means a lot for me.
i'm so happy i discovered your channel, keep up the great work sir : )
It is very satisfying to be able to learn so much in just 35 minutes. I need to watch this a few times more, then watch it while I try to do it myself. I expect that session to involve a lot of pause and rewind. Self-isolation isn't that bad after all, thanks to people like Ben. Thank you very much for doing this video.
Reverend George ... yes, well said.
Ben - excellent as usual - thank you
Thank you Thomas
grazie, maestro! Un saluto dall'Italia.
Gracias Victoria.
Thank you, I have the confidence to try painting a portrait now
I've watched so many of these kinds of videos, but this was one of my favourites. I love that you can see the palette and the painting at the same time, and your explanations are nice and simple. Thank you.
Sir: thank you much, for your empathy towards us artists. Please do not stop. With gratitude, R
Thank you Ruthe
Your generosity is only exceeded by your talent.
Thank you.
Thank you
Fastenating! You have a voice that's calming to listen to, you simplified so even I can do that. So glad the man is not an alcoholic.
This one of the best portrait demonstrations with perfect explanations I have seen. Thank you!
6:34 Yes, master 🥲🥲🥲
indeed
Great job Mr.
thanks
Lovely! I haven't tried painting portraiture in over 15 years.....This makes me want to do so again. Very enjoyable video! I will definitely be subscribing and watching more of them.
うますぎる…
I've watched every second of this video and i learnt so many things I've never heard of, also im so impressed of the professionalism you've shown. In one word thank you for making this tutorial, it was super helpful.
So nice to hear!
Fantastic video! You explained it very well
Thank you
I envy your students Maestro. Thank you for your lesson. Probably one of the best video-tutorial.
My medium isn't even oil paints, but this video alone is worth subscribing. Thank you for conceptualising something I've struggled with for a long long time! Words cannot describe how helpful your video is. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much! Your video helped me a lot! And you are beautiful!
It is my pleasure Valentina
Very bold strokes. really enjoyed.
thanks
Without doubt the best portrait painting tutorial I've ever watched. Thank you!
So fabulous in breaking it down into bite size pieces! I love how you talk about facial anatomy in layman’s terms. Great palette. Great advice about falling into pitfalls like using black straight up. Love hearing about light/shadow and soft connections. My students will love this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👌
Oh! Mr. Ben! you're a wizart of the paint!!!
Well well, thanks.
Mr. Lustenhouwer, I am so grateful to have had the chance to watch a true Master Instructor! Your technique with oils remind me of what my Grandfather taught us during his lessons that he lovingly shared whenever we had a question. I miss him dearly and you Sir, would be kindred spirits and fast friends who believed in teaching the next generation the gift of “creation” from the spirit.
Wow, thank you!
Finally! Something that I can follow, and then experiment with! Thank you, it’s simple to begin, and you explain without extra talk. Subscribing for sure 👍🏻
This was a great lesson in portrait painting, love the technic of the three planes of color. I especially enjoyed watching you paint and explain while you are painting. Thanks for sharing your expertise. God bless you for your generosity.
I just learned so much from you in this video. Thank you so much for sharing.😊
Thank you
Super colour mixing
Thanks
the love you have for what you're doing puts me in a trance everytime I watch.
thanks ....
I learned so so so much from this video! You are a wonderful teacher. Many artists have a hard time explaining as so much is just reflex for them. You however, break it down perfectly. I’m sharing these videos with all my artist friends. I painted with you and I’m very happy with my painting. I think I’ll do it another 10x to cement it in my brain.
Yes Alison. Keep paining. Its never ending
What an amazing video! Thank you so much for this unique lesson 🙏 It´s a pleasure to watch ❤
Thank you
@@lustenhouwer I and everyone who watches your videos are the ones who must thank you for your availability and immense generosity for sharing these lessons. I discovered your channel this weekend and since then I have been following them all with great pleasure, and I hope you continue to publish many more 🤗. They are true pearls of knowledge, talent and sensitivity ❤️
Thank you Ben! I had some medical issues and now coming off a creative block. My drawing skills are there but color has been a struggle. With this reminder I can begin to paint again. I started with a tonal painting. You have helped so much! #BenLustenhouwer.
Thank you Dana.
Absolutely brilliant I learned so much and just what I needed to help advance my painting. Thanks you. You have a great teaching style
The Great ones always make it look so easy. Beautiful work and style of painting. : )
What a beautiful color
You can recognize is a quality tutorial when is traditional art, but you can apply perfectly in digital art too. Thank you!!
Indeed
Wonderful Maestro. When I was a child, I would watch my father and others at work, doing all kinds of tasks. I would always bother them with my inquisitive questioning; what are you doing, how does it work, and on and on. I would always get the same answer, watch and learn. The same is true here, by watching and listening to you I have learned, thank you, Maestro.
Thank you so much
thank you very much. What a lovely class!
You are welcome
I like the music. You make painting faces easier for me. Thank you
You are welcome.
Thank uhh sooo much sir for this helpful video 🙏🙏🤝🏻🤝🏻👏🏻👏🏻
