    I needed this video for more reasons than one. This was beyond helpful. One thing it helped me clarify was not just that I need to improve my creative practice, but that i have been "homeless" in the creative practice sense for some time. I am glad you make videos.

    I just love the impressionistic look and the soft colours of your painting. Would love to see the reference picture as it would help in guiding how to deviate

    This pushed me to finally go look at more art and figure out what I even want to do besides getting better at painting portraits. I've been struggling with having any vision for my paintings at all. Kinda just been doing this because I can and I needed the money. Let's see what will truly inspire me :) Thanks Chelsea

    amazing results with a looser, drier paint approach. It gives one more control with less paint on the brush it seems. Thank you Chelsea.

    I am so happy to have found you after many many searches here on UA-cam, you have shown up. I have been following just a few of Hellen Van Portrat paintings and then there were no more. Thank you so much for being here I teach acrylics for simple painting but this is for myself after many years of not using oils I am ready to start again. I love you work and how you explain as you go.

    This is just the video I needed. I’m still trying to figure out exactly what my style is, but keep getting distracted from what I love to paint, by following the advice of well meaning friends and relatives who want me to be successful selling work and encourage me to paint the sorts of things that they like themselves. Art galleries are almost as bad. I was told only recently that people don’t tend to buy portraits of people they don’t know. What they probably mean is that they haven’t had a portrait artist sell with them yet. Which lets me know that they are probably the wrong gallery for me, rather than me changing what I do to fit their marketing skills or clientele.

    Hi Chelsea - I have just come across your channel and have subscribed as I find your explanations very clear and I love your work. Please could you tell us again how you get your reference material through what I think you said was a "reference pack". I'm 66 years old and I really dont know how to use the tools offered by Pinterest to the best I can, so would appreciate some help in this regard as my most challenging task is finding the references that I connect with. Thank you in advance

    Some portrait artists love the responses they get from capturing a loved ones likeness in a unique way. Commission artists understand this, yet I never hear that angle from vids like these.

    I have a question regarding the inspiration/mood board technique you mentioned.
    Do you assemble a different board for each painting you may do? Or do you just have "the" board which you turn to when painting anything?

    • @ChelseaLang
      @ChelseaLang  2 роки тому +3

      Good question! I have one board. That way I know all of the work I make is headed in a cohesive direction. :) But I do update the board about once a year.

    Please do... Geek out for us. Tell us how you would take a seemingly normal reference photo and "push" it to high key... I think that would be a great demo... Even if you use this same painting...

    There is an element of your videos that you don't capture in your also helpful narration ..Watching you paint..basic mechanical but it would be difficult if not impossible to describe. It's a quality of your videos ..Simple strokes very very practical..

    Pretty sure that many people will totally miss the point, as their only interests seems to focus solely on getting mass attention, that whole Viral initiative, and henceforth draw big commission's from wealthy institutions or investor's who manage artist affairs, because most people would struggle working the ropes while they plan their next big move, no matter where it's at. Just how many Banksy's can one world have at a time.

    Utmost blessings but thumbs down: Alla prima seems to me to lend itself to live portraiture and plein air ... not the mere copying of cutesy photos. Alla prima 'love and beauty' in oils requires astute planning, prayer, and many failures (in my experience). Questions boil:
    Can one not 'touch-up' alla prima portraits the next day?
    Is there not a 'spirit' of alla prima: first impressions, totality, memorable insights, etc.?
    Can memory and imagination not assert itself more with alla prima painting?
    What about prayer? Since every bold pigment and brush stroke becomes critical in alla prima ... bold contemplation of color and brushwork harmony comes to mind.
