In this new airbrush painting lesson, I'll show you a bunch of techniques to paint better portraits. One of the secrets to becoming a better painter is to not get locked into a single way of painting. So I'll go over a few different techniques in this airbrush tutorial to offer more options in portrait painting. This lesson is part one of painting a life like portrait of a man with the focus on painting the eyes, lashes, eyebrows, etc. We will continue next week with the nose, mouth and beard to start pulling it together. Thanks for watching and I hope this one is helpful!

Absolutely love your tutorials. Great content. Can we see you camera set up and studio. I have issues with videoing my paintings and can't to find a comfortable set up. Thanks again.

thanks man. I don't use anything fancy, just a tripod (manfrotto) and a mirrorless camera (Nikon z5 with 24-70mm lens) off to the left of the painting which is mounted vertically to a wall. A lot of light and filming at a wider aperture like f4 or more is very helpful.

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge! i love your tutorials. You have pushed my skills up by more than 50% and it's like you always say: observation ability increases with practising. Your english is first class and though you are speaking very quick it easy to understand for a foreign listenener. Thanks again

Hey brother Mark, You Said like 50 drops of illustration Orange. And I believe maybe 10 to 15 drops of Blue. Okay when I airbrushed my eye it didn’t look nothing. Like the color of your eye. Is it because my Canvas is all white. And that throws the color off. It didn’t look like your pretty brown eye. Thanks brother Mark!!!🎣🎣🎣

You are so right about the LUPO paper. I bought a big size when it was on sale because it reminded me of the Dru Blair paper which is plain out amazing for airbrushing, but comes at a steep cost per sheet. LUPO when I erase on it leaves very bright spots which are really hard to blend in so they aren't noticable.

@theartworkshop Жыл бұрын

I find any synthetic paper erases too easily. A layer or 2 of gesso just makes it so much more forgiving.

So you can gesso the LUPO paper?

Hi, great channel. can you upload the reference photo of this portrait and the other one you have, so we can follow your tutorial?

@terrythomas790 Жыл бұрын

These portraits are huge. Whats the smallest you've done airbrushing. I always wondered how so much detail could be done, and see its because of the large size. Do you have a gallery of your works? Thanks

@tumadsvids 8 ай бұрын

Howdi. I've been watching you for a while now and your skills are on a next level. One thing I don't get is that your portraits, although very detailed, the skin is monochromatic. In life however, I don't see monochromatic skin. What am I missing? Kind regards

@theartworkshop 8 ай бұрын

A good point & observation. It's probably because I come from a drawing background and prefer a more subdued/monochrome look. It's just a preference I suppose.

Hey again brother Mark, I’m gonna go back and recount. The 50 drops of illustration, orange, 10-15 drops of Blue. Then I hope that I get the same outcome you did. With the pretty brown eyes. I watch your video 1 easy trick to cleaning your airbrush. I will get me some Spray bottles I have bunch of distilled water. I use a percentage alcohol, a percentage, Windex cleaner and a percentage distilled water for cleaning my airbrush. I got it off of KZfaq. I hope that is OK. I’m airbrushing an eye everyday it takes me up to about 3 hours. I’m getting much, much better not where. I truly wanna be, but. I’m getting better brother Mark. I stay at it because I want to be as good as you brother. I have problems with getting the eyes. To look the colors I want them to look. But I guess mixing colors exactly as the reference will come with time. Take Care Brother Mark!!!🎣🎣🎣

I'm very happy to hear this Michael! There is no better way than to do what you're doing by practicing like that. That's what I do as well, just keep painting and trying to learn and improve. You got this!!

Hi great lesson am just wondering do you use photoshop to get your hi quality pictures. Am looking for a picture for a project but when enlarged the definition is lost and looks very grainy. I havnt any software at moment. Thanks Darran.

@theartworkshop Жыл бұрын

software isn't going to help a grainy/low res image. photoshop is for compiling and editing, but you can use it to restore if you are skilled at it. A good camera (nikon z5) & lens (nikkor Z 24-70 f4) is what I use. For reference images for painting lessons, I buy them through my subscription with adobe stock.
