Painting Flesh Tones - Tiling Method

Aaron Westerberg is a renowned painter, who has a special talent and appreciation for color. In this preview of his new Masterpiece Demo, he shows you how he mixes flesh tones and uses the tiling method to paint the face. Flesh tones are usually misunderstood as a specific range of peaches and browns. But it’s unique to every painting depending on the environment and light. Greens and purples are skin tones too!
This is just a small sample of his 10 hour demo. Be a fly on the wall in his studio and watch the whole process, from photoshoot, color study, preparing the panel to final painting - proko.com/weste...

As a digital artist, I am always impressed by painters who mix colors in traditional media. You gotta be a fucking alchemist to get things right.

nah just check mark carders draw mix paint vids. his method teaches you to mix almost any colour (just not fluorescent orange and like a bright baby blue) with 5 tube colours. It's all about basic colour theory. Perhaps oil painting will be a nice change for your square eyes? :P

@samman9864 4 жыл бұрын

it’s a lot less difficult than it seems, it’s less about finding the exact colors and more about finding the colors in relation to the other colors being used

I picked up a brush after ten years of not painting in oils about a month ago. I was terrified, oils seem so daunting. But in all honesty they are not they are so forgiving and allow you to explore a painting. I understand what he says about colour here. Its a perfect commentary on colour. You need to explore colour, see how it interacts with the light, the strokes, blending. How one colour plays off of another. You will spend more time looking at your painting than you ever will do painting it when creating it. That is the skill, to observe and to allow the colour to play out.

@goretti3528 5 жыл бұрын

This was honestly so inspiring. Like the way he talks about colour is so beautiful and his advice so sound. I watched this because I'm about to start a painting of my own and I've been scared to start painting because I have very little experience with painting and colour but I feel motivated to just go for it after watching this. Thank you so much for sharing this!

I LOVE working with color. What really helped me was the Zorn palette. It not only got me over how intimidating color can be, but also forced me to see with color and take my time mixing my hues and tints.

@ArtHampton Жыл бұрын

Aaron has more books on Sargent than I do. I didn't think that was possible. Go Aaron! Yeah. Play with color. Use garish colors to get to see how that works, for a while. Doing that gave me an appreciation of subtle color differences. This fellow is worth listening to.

This video offers advice that is both encouraging and insightful, particularly in regard to how one should approach color. I sense a sympathetic tone in this artist’s way of expressing his ideas on painting that tells me he is very much in touch with the struggles that beginners face. No doubt he faced the same struggles himself and found a way to overcome them, which I find inspiring.

@friedricengravy6646 5 жыл бұрын

Best skin tone advice. Thanks!! Mixing mid-tones to transition from dark to light instead of just blending the two extremes into a mutant color that does not represent life at all. Acrylic painters take note.....stop seeing ur quick dry time as a hindrance. If anything, see it as a deterrent to stop blending every stroke. If u need a soft edge, touch it with ur thumb or finger.....turning the form.

this is something i’ve seen and i didn’t know how to describe! i’m not new to painting - i was lucky enough to have an art therapist as a young kid that helped me calm down my anxiety through using paint - especially abstract with different weird mediums. no theory or technique, just messing around. now i’m getting back into painting and i wanted to do a portrait of a scene with a bunch of red in it and i wanted to try to do something like this - this video really helped. the continued working of the tiles and the more color it looks amazing!

Hi Mr. Prokopenko. I have a request on a tutorial that might help a lot of students at our university. We reference your videos a lot concerning anatomy and figure drawing, I was wanting to ask if it's in any way possible that you could do a tutorial on mark making on the figure. To identify form and shape and communicate volume. By the way, you're almost at 1M subscribers 😁. I'm proud of your work and it has helped me and my classmates a lot. I'll keep spreading your name because you're one of the most trustworthy artists concerning accurate and brilliant drawing! 😁 Thanks for always helping the art community out. Best regards, Alicia.

@IshikaShanai 4 жыл бұрын

Yep! It helps buying a medium that slows down the drying time, usually referred to as a "retarder". The one I have is from the brand Golden, but that's because it was based on another artist's recommendation and it was also on sale at my art supply store. I suggest looking up other painters on youtube, if your interested and want to learn more.
