Bro...👏

I'm always so insecure when it comes to portraits but breaking it down into these steps really helps a lot. Thank you :-)

Love how in depth you got with this one. Love the "step" process. Really helps organize the project. Always with the heat Slew, and you portrayed your girlfriend beautifully!! 👏👏👏

The amount of detail in this is amazing. Loved seeing the full process! Amazing work as always~

Great job Slew. I just discovered you in the last week and noticed how you’ve improved since your videos from 2 years ago. I’ve also learned a lot from you. Thanks!

Bro makes me want to paint again, I’m glad he follows his own process I mean we all have different way in which we work. Keep it up with the amazing work.

Very well done and the processes seem so simple when broken down. Beautiful finished piece.

Portraits are super hard for me but watching your videos fills me with confidence to hopefully give it a shot someday!

Remember that you could also use transfer paper and print the photo on like 60% opacity. Just open it in Paint and use preferences of printing to print it in poster mode so you could then combine all sheets together and put them on the transfer paper that is on the canvas. When you don't really know what block of colors to paint, you can use photoshop to posterize the photo so you can see where and what colors to paint on the canvas. Both these tips will help you save a few hours :) I just want to share what I learned back when I started painting two years ago ^^

You need to make a video of your own. Sounds interesting.

That's great tips for students! That's what I do with them! I show them the posterize version so they can see better the values and it changes so much their perspective!

I love how the glaze sort of wakes up the painting, it's a beautiful thing to see. It's like it smooths and brightens the whole painting.

Slew's studio is very huge and all the works hanging on the wall shows that he is worth watching and to learn from him. Thanks Slew for your free tutorial !

Thank you for sharing. This video is so informative and educational. I believe more college art instructors should watch this one and incorporate in their teaching because the way you simplified it and made it so easy to follow is top notch!

amazing as always! Contrasts very nicely to the last one! The naturalistic colors are done so well!

Absolutely amazing! I have to say one of the best paint tutorial videos I have seen.

This was an amazing tutorial! Love your methodology!

Chapeau bas Mr Artist. I was watching without sound... And still I have learnt a lot! Thank You! ❤

Always awesome content. I have enjoyed following your journey.

Slew, you do a wonderful job! This is how I learned to paint. Your tutorials are awesome. Keep it up my friend. Thank you for sharing your time, your skill and your adventure👍🤟🪡🎨

Your girlfriend have beautiful, soulful eyes. This classical style you paint is by far my favorite you do! ❤

Hi SLEW. -.ZeS.- from Madrid, Spain (a fellow artist and a New Yorker expat living abroad). Joined your channel a few months ago but I don't post much (not a lot of spare time, if you know what I mean!). Love your channel! Very interesting and full of cool new ideas and creative process... I like the limited palette approach! I use it in Watercolor and Gouache (my current preferred mediums) and I'll be starting into Acrylics soon too, but always with a limited palette (less costs and you learn soooo much more quicker!). Your Cyclops also inspired me to do a small piece (no copies, I swear!). But I follow your channel since I subscribed (I found you through Jess Karp's channel when she visited you in NY). I also watched some of your podcasts (I sometimes put 'em on while I'm doin' my own stuff)... you got a nice voice for radio! 😁😁😁👍 Well, good stuff and keep it up (NY & Brooklyn costs must be a killer nowadays!)... and I'll keep watching (with my all seeing eye!). 😂😂😂 Cheers from Sunny Spain, Dude! 😁👍😎

Forgot to ask a question... I don't have a KZread channel yet or anything but... Why do people usually send a message just saying... "Fist one"! (To send a message...???) Is there some kind if competition I'm unaware of? ('Cause what's the frigging point? If you know what I mean). 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Anyways... DONT EVER STOP! Your Art is inspiring, as well as your approach! Cheers from Sunny Spain! 😁👍😎

You can use hairspray to solidify willow charcoal

Great Job Sir love your work and your attitude.

I like your presentation n 5 steps. Thanks a lot.

Superb young man

Hey Slew, was curious how you add a hanging feature to display your painting?

You are awesome painter

Enjoyed your video. Thanks.

Excellent

I sometimes do the outline with a Sharpie and in case of a mistake, I can either white-out with gesso or erase with sandpaper.

the editing on this video is great, but the painting is much better!!!,can´t wait to watch the next vid.

Great vedio. I learned a lot. Thanks

You make it look soooo easy....

Thanksss man I used ur technique and painted marilyn Monroe it turned out great I just gotta practice more

which paints you are using? My paintings don't dry this soon. Cab you do a video about how to do commission portraits in oil in short amount of time ?

Nice!

Thank you so much ❤

I paint since 2016 and used to do acrylics but now I am doing oil but I am not able to do portraits. Really hard. Congratulations you are extremely talented. I did one Portrait for my daughter on the top of a mountain but just the back view! 😂

I love that mask!

Very good 👍

wow!

Great video thank you

Probably one of the best and least intimidating tutorials I’ve ever seen here on KZread :-) and believe me I watch a lot of them! currently, I don’t even paint and oils and/or acrylic… I do watercolor mostly and pastel, but your explanation makes it pretty easy to apply to any medium :-) i’ve always heard of the grid method, I know it’s absolutely fundamental and age old reliable technique, but it always looked boring and intimidating and I’m actually considering trying it because of this video!

THANK YOU

Gracias desde Bogotá Colombia

Im 66. This is how I learned to paint a portrait. Thanks. A great easy basic understanding of creating a portrait.

Rembrant! ❤

Where did you find such a large glass palette??

Would the grid method work well for figure drawings and paintings also?
