Portrait Painting Techniques & Concepts, Part 2
🕑 Added 2021-01-01 16:01:33 +0000 UTCWe are almost all the way blocked in now. In this video we will get all the way there.
The colors will be almost as specific as we want to be at the end and our main focus will be to establish the éxisting values as colors without too much contradiction.

Hi Debra, working on the refined editions just now. First one will be out today.
Debra Schulman
hello, I am wondering if you will be poducing a "Refined " edition of this and the previous session...I love the Real Time, yet The Refined lesson Is easier to fit into a hectic schedule....Thank you!

Thank you Gilberto! I agree, of course, versatility is best for a painter.

Hi Gilberto, I can remember using some gel mediums when I was a student and I found they were satisfactory. When oiling out with, for instance, Rublev's Oleogel I recall a slight sheen or disruption of the light from the fumed silica that I didn't like- hence now I only use linseed oil.

Speaking of techniques, I would like to hear your opinion and recommendation for use of medium to "correct" the situation with dry-sinking effect of paint on canvas. You advice to use just the right amount of medium, never too much, to stop the sticking factor and let the brush flow better. What is your thought about using gel medium, like the Gambling solvent-free gel, instead of linseed oil medium to improve brush flow?

Hi Stephen, thank you for this wonderful demonstration. At some point in this second video you seem to "throw the book" of named techniques in this painting, like scumbling, glazing, velatura... are all going through your thought process as you do the work, this is very reassuring to me, as a learner of techniques, about the dynamic freedom that goes on in the painting process. Very neat.

This is such a beautiful painting and it is not even done yet...!
Stephen Bauman Artwork
Haven't yet. Maybe need to make a short varnishing tutorial.

Great videos Stephen. Was looking forward to you colouring the grisaille. Im working on a paint along plus another pose of the same model together. Question, Will you be covering or have you covered varnishing of this kind of painting?
