BETTER color in your PORTRAIT PAINTINGS! (oil painting demo)

I think this could be a useful video for beginner and advanced artists. I try to show you how I go for various color relationships while modeling. At the same time, I demonstrate how it is I keep them relatively unified so things don't get too crazy.

    So helpful! Thanks Scott for these sorts of tutorials. Definitely gives me some ideas on how to progress in my oil painting. I’m curious - have you ever experimented with using a CMYK pallette for portraits? I’ve recently been experimenting with using primary cyan, lemon yellow, and primary magenta to see how wide of a chroma I could mix through that combination of a limited pallette and been quite surprised... however, haven’t yet tried it for a portrait.

    Didn't find cmyk useful. There is a reason why red, blue,yellow are paint primaries is how paint mixes not necessarily physics and biology....its chemistry of pigment. (That said Y+M is a nice red but do i really want the high chromat magenta? Does magenta even get that high in paint? Isn't it expensive? Its not even a spectral colour with a wavemength Etc! CMYK is a good way to LIMIT chroma. Unless you use printer ink glazes. Mixing lines ARE NOT STRAIGH on a colour wheel.

    @@DrWhom when I started to paint portraits the first advice I read was that the painter should paint the jewelry much larger, the face and body less fat and the skin less wrinkled. So perhaps having a very smooth skin in the painting pleases many older ladies whose prime years are long gone. Nobody likes a portrait that looks like a driver's licence picture, though we know we look exactly like that. Cheers.

    try a more delicate touch. use an almost dry brush to blend in truth, blending is a bit kitsch-y in fact, you can achieve a highly naturalistic look without any blending - see tips on channel Draw Mix Paint
