If you enjoyed this video here is another Portrait Oil study for you to check out... kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z2ysrcGwj5ipo6w.html

I must have watched hundreds of tutorial over the years but none that are as good as this one. It's clear, narrated in a way that's clear to follow. Your tutorials in pastels are the same but oils hold a special place for me and just hope you do more. Thanks Dave

Glad you enjoyed it Cyril! Thrilled you have found this video clear and easy to follow... means a lot to me. Loads more Oil Paintings videos to come, focusing on Portraits first, then landscapes, wildlife etc after. Thank you so much for your support and watching... much appreciated 🙏

The comment near the end "I just switch off all names and just see what's there" is so simple yet profound. Great advice.

That is wonderful feedback, good to know the video is calming. The most important thing is the surface you work on, it has to be non absorbent, I use Michael Harding's Non absorbent acrylic primer. . I would struggle without making sure the surface is prepared well. Please check out my video on how to prepare your surface... here is the link... kzread.info/dash/bejne/qpiNuJuzk7zPnLA.html You are welcome... All the very best with your oil painting journey. 😊🙏

My husband and I love art he purchased painting from Michael Cheval and also from Steve Harvey. Hopefully one day you'll visit Orlando Florida and visit art gallery here and maybe you could display some of your art. Im your biggest fun. Thanks a lot for sharing to us your gift of art and beauty to the world. I will keep watching your videos and learn from it. Keep up the awesome work and God bless.

Thanks for this nformative video. Question, are you painting with oil directly over graphite? I sketch Bargue plates with graphite and charcoal, and wanted to try applying the atelier technique with oil. I assumed I couldn't paint over a sketch as graphite will show through especially in lighter values. Thanks.

@DavePortersArt

Hi there, thrilled you found the video informative. To answer your question... I draw the outline with a HB graphite pencil, then I ghost this by rubbing over lightly with a Faber Castel Kneadable Eraser. I do know of artists that spray over a loose Charcoal drawing, and then paint over it... so it can be done. Best to try it out to see if that way suits you. all the very best 🙏

Hello Dave, is it possible to do the color with soft or pan pastels on top of the greyscale?

Perfect tutorial of course. I was hoping to find a fast way to simply quickly glaze clear flesh tones over a monochromatic portrait's flesh areas so that I could paint a portrait every few work days as a small business. I can do good likenesses in graphite but want to switch over to oils for the open wet paint time and the color. Is this possible, and if so, thanks for any help. joyce

Thank you Joyce .. I would suggest adding more liquin so each stage dries overnight. Be sure to put the painting in a heated room to help the drying time. 🙏

Dave... facing the painting the left eye isn't quite closed enough, up to the bottom of the eye color. The right eye is good. 😉👍

* thankyou! Scrubbing the colour in* is the phrase i needed to hear. Otherwise, I am finding brushstrokes in the colour glaze are mucking up the surface effect...which as i understand it, needs to be as flat as possible (no texture)

When you are glazing over the grisaille, are you using the same colour you would use if there was no grisaille or has the colour been modified BECAUSE of the grisaille? Thanks

Hi David, Actually the same colours, the grisaille creates a different feel to the colour. Still, it is the same colour combination for sure.
