Kirb .o Colors that are complimentary should create the color brown. Yellow and purple, blue and orange, and green and red. You want to use richer colors like blue since it’s a cooler color, you can use it to make the color brown look darker. But make sure it’s the desired color you want.

Amazing! Love how you drew her. The colours and blending look so realistic!

You just described exactly-what took me 20 years to learn.. your paintings are bright and fresh. I love that about them!

Love how you simplify the theories, makes me feel much less overwhelmed starting new pieces ♡

whenever you roll the background it gives me huge anxiety but I love it

Best advice ever, especially the last one. I never feel that I’m done. There’s always ONE more thing to do. Your suggestion that if “another brush stroke doesn’t enhance, but just makes a change, then it’s probably time to stop” (paraphrased) will be my new mantra.

"I decided to do something quick and simple"

Anyone can gain talent in art if they’re willing to put their mind into it and is willing to understand the concept. Thank you!! 😀

Your accent is sooo lovely, I could listen to you talking for the whole day +art and teaching skills 👌🏼

I used to be such a great artist and fell off for years. I am getting back into it.... Thank you so much for fast forwarding what may have taken me a long time to re learn!!!

BRILLIANT!!! Thank you for this video! I’ve recently started painting again (I tattoo for a living) and this is probably the most informative video I’ve seen to get me back into my flow.

Painting complex areas first makes perfect sense seeing as you're energy and focus are sharp in the beginning and can take a small break being loose while filling out bigger areas

Thanks so much for articulating the process extremely well!

Brilliant content once again Alpay, I appreciate all this free content its amazing. While it’s still coming can you maybe do a video of your palette? how you mix your colours and keep them so clean and mudless.

Love the eyes, specifically the white of the eye. Looks like glossy effect. Really cool

I enjoyed this tutorial a lot. Thank you! I struggle with knowing when to blend and when not to, and listening to you say "loose but convincing" gave me direction!

subtle but varied palette..i love your portrait painting! thank you. blessings

This was great. I've been struggling with black and white underpaintings (portraiture is not my comfort zone) but this feels much more intuitive. Also I love what you do with deconstruction!

All the videos i have watched have all diff techniques but they all make sense. I love how this is broken down into steps. The technique used is what works best for the artist. ❤️❤️

You were spot on. Your tip made a huge difference. Until I tried your method I was saving eyes, nose and mouth till the end which caused me to paint them in a very loose impressionistic manner. This lead to I could only paint males up until I tried your idea. I drew a quick sketch of a gal on a small canvas pad and within one hour I completed a wonderfully done female image that had all the soft features I had not been able to pull off prior to the change. Thanks a ton.... Mike

I agree with each step! Very well said! 👌👌👌

It's refreshing to watch you painting oh my this so beautiful .. thanks for sharing your art and knowledge with us

Thank you so much. When I paint a portrait in graphite, I like to do the eyes, nose and mouth first so I can see the likeness in those areas in great detail and the person in the portrait begins to pop out in 3-D. Now that I want to paint portraits in oils, I see that most tutorials don't do that, and the chaos in the early stages makes me uncomfortable. Sooooo a thousand thank you's for showing me I can paint an area and almost finish it as I go along, to tweak it later. What a relief!

Wow...You made it look so simple and your commentary was specific, short and to the point even with adding in the personal discretions you use to bring everything full circle, Bravo good job

Watching you paint all the skin tones was soooo satisfying. I’m trying to figure out how to do that myself. You made it look so easy. Unfortunately the medium I work with doesn’t blend well. If you blend it too much with too many colors it will look muddy, I have to find a way to see where my painting is going in layers instead of being able to blend everything at once. I work in nails with gel polish that needs to be cured. I’ve painted faces but I want to learn how to paint more realistically.

Yea I’m going to experiment with oil paint soon. I love how smooth the application is, unlike acrylic paint

The face is the mirror of the mind, the eyes of people reflect the desires of their heart...

What you said are exactly opposite to what my teacher told me. She always asks us to paint the background first, block colours， then move to details. But to be frank, i like your way better. Blocking colour without outlines is extremely difficult as i always forget the actual layout and eventually end up with a distorted painting. Anyways, thanks for sharing a new way of painting。
