That Lawrence Fishbourn is excellent

taking this as a sign to start painting again (motivation is hard to come by these days) - thank u!

I think all of us as artists struggle during the process of painting. I've seen artists whom I think are drastically better than me, rework their paintings where it almost doesn't look the same. One of the things that I can't seem to break the habit of, is being loose at the beginning, and geek free to deviate from the guidelines I set out for myself. So embrace your painting process, because I think it will only improve with time. Your results look awesome!

There's a website called ThisPersonDoesNotExist. Computer generated faces. Just keep refreshing it, something may speak to you.

I paint in acrylic so everything dries fast. It's more like a sculpture to me. Layers and layers of chipping away the "ew why'd I do that?“ Love when my friends come over and are like OMG you can paint?! And I'm like nah not really lmao

Check out my Patreon page for LIVE painting sessions every Sunday! ALSO MERCH RESTOCK AUGUST 20TH!

Love to hear the passion you have for your art in you oil paint “rant”. It’s very inspiring!

I absolutely love this. I love that you're new to oil painting and don't have that academic approach that most artists have. Learning from your mistakes and putting it out there. Makes us noobs feel like we can do it as well!

I love hearing your thought process behind your pieces, it’s super interesting!! I really like how you are so open to always improve further, I think as an artist or as a person with any sort of creative interest, it’s always important to want to get better at what you do and to not settle when you think you’ve done your best piece. I can also relate greatly to when you talked about the way that you paint, how it’s not a straight line to get to the end results, but a lot of messing around with the painting until you get it to be where you want it to be. I’ve never really heard anyone talk about that in a way that I could relate so much. My paintings are 99% of the time A STRUGGLE. Things look wrong most of the time painting, until the very last few details.

This makes me want to start an oil painting again, welcome back to the studio

Glad your back and doing better! Another badass video from the Slew Dawg

I love this. The ability, the humility, the hard work. Thank you!

the palette thing was just insane thankkk you!

You could put out 100 videos just like this and I would watch them ALL. So chill, so much to learn. Thanks man.

Slew, u have such a natural talent with art, especially portraits! Keep up the great work, u definitely on your way to being a famous artist!

I love how every colour is delicious for you hahaha I can't say I don't agree tho

You gave me life. I feel capable. Thank you.

Love your channel Slew, just what i been looking for to learn portait painting, thanks.

Awesome work! Love your videos!

Glad to see you back painting. Great art and content as always.

your so motivated! love it !

Great paintings! I appreciate that you tell us about your having to redo certain areas (like the eyes). It helps us who are learning and having those same issues not feel so down on ourselves when we have the same issues. Thanks!

love ur lust for art and the way u talk about it ! shows so much passion and drive and is very motivating! beautiful style youve curated aswell, has a great execution which feels very effortless! big love! hope healing is going well

nice one man! yeah it's definitely cool seeing the palette as you work on it. big up!

YES NEW CONTENT!! I’ve honestly missed these so much! I like to paint and do my own art while listening to these videos. Glad to have you back fam 👏🏾👏🏾

I love saving your videos for the morning with a cup of coffee, one of my favorite things thanks homie!

Happy you're back! hope your leg is fine!

You have the eye to know what’s not correct then keep going through the mistakes and find a face in the end. Even though it takes longer it’s still a popular way of painting . Takes me 10 times to find something I like . You get that nice peachy female skin that I like in the first one .. Great vid hope the leg is healing well .✌️✌🏾✌🏻❤️🇦🇺❤️

Your art work improve. You are fantastic. you grew! Thank you for sharing them.

I love your videos so much. Especially when you paint with oils, It’s very inspiring.

You paint portraits how I do atm. I’m impressed with your commentary...”delicious “ is a favourite. I really like how you show your mistakes, boy we can all relate. Keep it up.

Yess your portraits are my favorite!

Awes to see u back - hoped you're still healing ok ❤️

Loving the quality upgrade on the footage! I just ordered some studio lights for my videos always feels so good upgrading the set up.

Omg you back! I hope your well..... your such a legend ❤️

I have to tell you that I really like your videos. I've been your follower for a long time but I haven't commented yet. Very inspiring and because of you I found the courage to start a channel and show what I do in the arts. God bless you

Love this video. Please make more like this! Have a great day!

Amazing. Thanks for the inspiration and "nudge" to get started painting today!

Yo Slew; I like the way to make the changes on the painting without laboring over them. They both came out very nice - I especially like the girl, nice job, Bud!

MORPHEUS. Lol Lawrence Fishburne. I really need to start back painting.

I love the way you filmed this! I think it would be an awesome vid idea to show how you typically do your video/ painting timelaspe process for artists!

I applaud you for using the Zorn palette. The first time I heard of it, I was blown away. Very cool.

eye placement is something I'm constantly struggling with

MY man! These are sick. Very inspiring stuff

your videos motivate me to paint/draw and inspire me to go on🤍✨✨

Yo SLEW! Your art is amazing man! Videos are dope, keep on keeping on! ⚡️🎨

Love your honest experience expression

Базаранет , классно получилось ! Niiiceee maaan !))

Hella Sick Brother!!!

one of the things i do with sketches or paintings that arnt up to snuff is trade them with other peoples sketches it has helped me out increidible to see how some one else does things. some times it just aint about the money its about the learning

Hey, would love to see you do more oil paint if you feel like it! It feels good to see you go from one portrait to another and watch you become better everytime! Love from france

That Morpheus portrait is fire!

I love these portraits. You're really cool dude and very talented:) I learn a lot listening to you.

When I grow up I wanna be like you. I have been practicing with your videos! :) totaly helping me regarding the color mixing

I'm using the same pallette for a portrait i'm doing for my painting class. I have spend like 25 hours and it still looks like the first layer!!! Maybe it's because I'm trying to copy every detail. Love your art!!!

Amazing job. I knew it was Laurence 🤗 been back to my art for the last couple of years after about 20 years away. Not touched a portrait yet though. Just still life and mixed media.

Wow. This really motivates me to paint! Im only a beginner, but because I use acrylics its not quite as easy to correct the mistakes.

I first saw you with Tenhun. Loved it. This time even more. I just subscribed 👍🏻

Great portraits🔥

Its beautiful 🤩

You are a great artist 🎨

your process is fucking insane, i never get bored watching you.

Looks great

The editing on this video is 🔥🔥🔥

Amazing works 👍👍great👏

You're an amazing artist Love your work Slew. - newbie artist from Philippines

ive seen skillshare adds in alot of videos but this time I was so convinced i need to sign up immediately bc of the way he talks

Yours is one of my favourite channels😇

Laurence Fishburne was amazing in the matrix

Awesome.

Im painting Fred and George weasly and i really need this,Thanks!

Just the kick up the ass I needed to get back at it, nice👍

Nice. The trick that helped me more than anything was to avoid using white until near the very end. It tends to wash out other colors and create a need for constant over painting. If I get the values and proportions going from mid tone to dark instead and use the white of the canvas I can usually get a portrait ninety five percent done and then add the white tints at the very end. The total saturation is also a lot better.

In Sydney each year we have the “Archibald portrait prize”. I went yesterday to the exhibition and I think if you look up online you’ll find some amazing inspiration from today’s Australian portrait artists.

I can def relate about the inefficiency thing 😅
