    Watching this before a figure painting session, thanks for the well timed guide. Those subtle value shifts are delicate enough in black and white, color is gonna add some extra difficulty. Really enjoyed the brevity of this guide!

    Morning Chris, seasoned artist and I’m still finding value in your observations, ty. Jumping in to portraits of my grandkids now. Hope you’re not counting on fellow artists for your income. Even good painting sales don’t last long enough from my experience. I have a grant now and that pays the rent TG, but jeeze how are you doing it yourself ? Do you ever talk about that end? Been looking for the practical side for a long time … ❤ty again.

    dude you're a life saver.. I've been really unmotivated after painting digitally for most of my life, and with all this AI stuff going on it's just making me feel "why bother anymore".. so I've ordered an oil painting set to try my hand on traditional painting to get my creative juices going again.. watching your videos whilst I'm waiting for my package to arrive.

    I would recommend you to use greyscale instead of black and white filter.
    Because it does perseve better the values of the image.
    Image->modes->greyscale

    Stop painting details? I think it depends on the subject and the artist’s unique style. If we all just stopped painting details and painted only shapes, then we’d all have a similar style of artwork, which would be very boring. I paint pet portrait commissions and my clients love seeing the details that make their particular pet unique from others of the same breed. So to stop painting details is kind of a blanket statement that isn’t really relevant to all artists and all mediums.

      Even if you want to paint details it helps to start with painting the big shapes. Too many people try to start with details and get overwhelmed and lost

      Amen
      Sometimes I tile
      Sometimes I blend
      If Leanardo went to a modern art school he would fail.
      I got most of my painting education from Bob Ross and the remainder from the paint Coach.
      They come out how they come out. Always different. Sometimes more detail than I’d like but as you say it depends on the subject
      I’m starting to see a style emerge after 30 or so portraits

      I don't paint details until the very END. They aren't needed and won't make or break the painting. I use details to create points of focus at the end of the painting. It's kind of like when one uses a lens to focus on one area and the parts I don't go into details and leave as shapes of the painting are the locations that are out of focus.
