How to start painting a portrait. Let's start painting some details of the face. Let's start painting a nose.
The portrait is one of the most fascinating subjects and it is one of those subjects that puts a painter to the test.
The choice of colors for the complexion and the method of painting volumes with color are the main parts of the approach to life portrait.
We often say the art of the portrait because the painter's profession saw inside many figures who dealt with different subjects and therefore also and specifically with the portrait.
There are numerous portrait painters who have alternated in the history of painting many of them very valid and extraordinary today are unknown as we are after all but who continue to cultivate this extraordinary passion and try to get to know each other also through this medium which is painting.
There is no embodied color, or rather, each of us has his own color which is determined by his own pigmentations.
So how to regulate how to mix oil colors to get the complexion color.
The pigments that can be used are really many and in the course of the video we will hear some examples.
In this video I will use for the complexion these four colors the titanium white, the guarantee lacquer, the natural umber and the medium cadmium wafer, in the second part the van dyck brown will also be added to reinforce the tones of the shadow.
That's all.
The brushes are synthetic and the passion as always is great.
I will show you a method for sketching a nose, defining its shape and trying to build its volumes.
We approach the portrait on tiptoe and above all and preferably with a person from life who poses for us with whom we can dialogue that we can get to know and of whom we can also highlight
through our pictorial portrait traits of the character that not even our model or our model thought they had.
I wish you a good viewing and see you soon.
