Grisaille Painting, Part 5, Refined Edition
Added 2020-10-06 14:39:52 +0000 UTC
Working on finishing a portrait painting can be one fo the most difficult challenges you can face as a painter. The struggle is real! Trying to attain a great likeness of the model while keeping your colours and values fresh are just a few of the challenges that are “up in the air.” In this lesson I focus on teaching you about simple and actionable goals for this final painting session. In my experience this is the best way to help you stay focused and moving forward.
1. Let’s talk about blending and how much if it is okay to do. This is often a misunderstood practice in painting and during this session we are going to make a good use of it.
2. This is the final moment to bring a sense of balance and harmony to the elements in your painting. In order to do this the details in the focal areas have to be crisp enough to draw the viewers attention. In this lesson I will show you how I approach the application of the final touches to the features of the face.
