Sebastian Salvo Applies the First Layer of the Portrait of Gloria Bedoire

Jan-Ove Tuv visits Sebastian Salvo to observe him as he applies the first layer of a frontal portrait of the Swedish model Gloria Bedoire. You can follow her on instagram:
/ gloria.bedoire
In this video you will learn about:
• Starting “dry“ with a color similar to the ground
• The importance of the eyes
• How a schematic approach to painting may go against nature
• “Hand memory“ (thinking with your hands)
• Combining sharpness and softness
• Slowing down (because you demand more)
• Being on guard against hubris (which makes you “blind“)
• Avoiding dark shadows in the beginning
• Continuing until you get a clearer idea of the point of the portrait

That would be a long time for me in position like that (Gloria smiled at 12:00 & 14:55 though! 😁🥰) but on the other hand Sebastian is quite quick to paint a portrait like this. Thx for the video, always interesting to see the actual progress and process behind the artwork

You captured the esence

[@blancodeplomo]

What a beautiful woman

[@y04whitmorej]

is it a pot of oil or turps that you store the dirty brushes in?

[@hmro1978]

Beautiful portrait and you did it incredibly quickly. But it is too difficult a position to maintain.

Yes muscle memory in the hands

[@KpxUrz5745]

The model herself is quite beautiful. I will have to reserve judgment on the unfinished painting.

[@monicalelli5369]

What an attitude …

[@hmro1978]

It is too expensive to pay a good model for several posing sessions for a single work.
Isn't it better to use a photo?

Hermosa modelo, pésima ejecución
