I love how your realism art look like a painting and not a digital picture. I love your style ❤

You‘re getting so good with your art 😶 😳 love seeing your process and am very grateful for your shared knowledge 💙 thank you Chris☺️✨

This tutorial was instructive. Understanding the planes of the face have helped me in 2D vector animation.

Oh my gosh this was so good I was watching tv and instantly could see the plains on the people’s faces. So cool. Thanks

This was the best video I’ve watched about planes of the face! When you talk about your experiences, it’s like I’ve been at that exact spot. Maybe it’s the Italian in us thinking alike lol

So helpful!

You are a very good portrait painter in oils. You capture the emotion very well

I love how he explains these techniques

DUDE!!! THIS VIDEO CHANGED MY LIFE!! Thank you! Can't tell you how much this changes my art style! Thank you :D!!

Started my first oil painting yesterday! Your videos are so helpful :)

That is a strong painting. Gettin' good 👍

Hey Mr. Chris! Your level of skill in art is God like and I trust that you will be given every good thing you want in life! All the goods! Wealth, fame, honor, knowledge, love whatever you want and more!!!!!!! If you agree please shout OOOOOORRAAAHH!!!!!!!

amazing Video! great structure!

Dude, no way. I'm in the matrix because I've been thinking about how i needed a video like this for like 3 days now.

Wow! just amazed by your painting style...I just watched all your videos and now I am your big fan..... I'm a student of visual arts, from India! Keep inspiring...^^

You are the best teacher out there hands down 🙌 thank you so much for giving all this for free. ♥️

Great advice from the painting coach, 👏👏👏

Good timing I’m in the middle of a series of portraits. Thanks coach!

Chris, I say your still one of the best with portraits. I remember your work from a couple years ago. You were in a different studio. I love your new one. 🌴. Tallahassee

Videos that feel that we should be paying but it´s free. Thanks Coach.

Thank you

Been binging your videos for techniques for this massive 60x60 painting project I’m working on & man !.. some of your videos helped correct little habits I’ve had for years. So far, piece is looking like my best work ! Bless you!!!

Thanks so much for this. I had a go at the exercise and couldn't believe how much it showed the importance of planes v features. Has made a significant difference for me.

I'm grateful Chris thank you so much

That portrait of the baby at the end of the video turned out really well! It looked cuter than the real baby.

Love you cris

Excellent info Chris 👍🏼

Awesome tutorial

I tried to do a portrait the other day.... It was a complete disaster. I believe this was my problem. I think I'll go and find a picture of that head model and paint it a couple times. Thank for the tip!

Amazing thank you!

Very helpful.

You have improved so much over time ( if that's even possible ), thank you so much for these videos I'm going to start painting portraits again because of this lol thanks

outstanding! thanks so much!

Thank you, this is good information.

This was so helpful!!!!

so interesting. I can do an illustrative kind of face in pencil drawing. I shy away from painting faces. Making them realistic is difficult and then, how to go about painting the face seems even more so. I'm glad I watched this video as it takes some of the intimidation away. I know that I also have to practice at it as you stress. I will need to rewatch this a few times and then make an effort to try it.

Awesome help. Thx P.C!

I feel like this would help alot not just with portraits but hugely with "scenery" where the figures are at a distance and the detail is not even visible

Dang, that baby portrait is great!

Bro every time I watch one of these my paintings get better immediately. Regret not listening to my art teachers 🥴🤣 thanks for the free advice as always!

Always good stuff...thanks!

Wow! Keep up the good work!! The portrait looks just like you!

Wow…this is a very good self portret. It’s so hard to get a good one…Struggling to get my own, but your explanation about the planes is great. Thanks

I procrastinated watching this video because I don't do portraits (yet). But the planes idea is super helpful with my landscapes and painting rocks! I should've known lol Thanks 👍

I literally didn't know how to draw a realistic looking nose until I saw a video on documenting the planes of the nose and all of a sudden, I could draw a realistic nose

Good heads up on Minnie aspects. Thank you.

Wow it's been a while since I've watched any oil painting videos, but your art has noticeably improved!

You’ve just answered a question that I have been unable to find keywords to research. It’s been a forever struggle to not understand how to become more detailed in my work. I do more fantasy oriented paintings with creatures, more sci-fi leaning. However I would spend so much time struggling with direction of light for details, that it just didn’t feel real enough because it didn’t shift properly. I can see the image in my head, but could never make it make absolute sense when only using shifts in value, and not my now newly added word PLAINs!!!! Thank you!!! (Hope that made sense 😂)

Cesar: Here's how you look at your face in a mirror for five hours Chris: Take a picture and go get painting!

Awesome video. Looking forward to trying this out. Thanks so much for sharing this great info!

You always give good advice.

You are so awesome. I love the mean mugging your'e doing!!

Thank you for the great content and app recommendation! Just downloaded it and I'm inspired to finish a portrait this morning. 🙏

Really glad I found your channel! The portrait painting tips have been helpful and I appreciate that you speak clearly quickly and get to the point. I'll be checking out your Patreon - thx for posting this vid

The baby painting you did is amazing! Came out amazing! Thank you for sharing these tips with us today, Chris.

Gahh I’ve been struggling with an acrylic portrait for a few days now! Happy I found your channel! 😵‍💫👍🏼

Thanks for this interesting video!

Now I know who you remind me of…Steve Howie! Love your videos btw. ❤️

Excellent instruction

Your videos on face planes really helped me understand how to see the colours in a portrait. Do you wait for the layers to dry before painting over them? Thank you for sharing so clearly!

Great tip. Thanks a lot! I’m just starting my journey with the painting and I bombed the wall, because I know how my paintings should look like, while I’m painting it looks much more different. 😂Lol

Very handy info :)

I learned so much. Thank you.

Great timing for me. Super helpful, thanks!

love your vids,you are great teacher,thank you

Great explanations. Thank you so much

super explicado

This video helped me a lot! Thanks so much :)

Great video!!! Thank you!

Seems like you could maybe get small post it notes and stick them all over your face, to "see" where the planes are and how each paper surface catches the light differently. Or use that head app, that looks cool too

This was such a good lesson. Also my favorite self portrait of you.thanks Chris.

Wow I just learned so much . Thanks ☺️ 👩‍🎨🎨👩‍🎨🎨

You are amazingly good. 👌

good explanation !

Great video and great tips!! Thanks

Ty for the video

well done lad

Wow! Nice video Chris. I’m lost for words to describe your work. This video in particular is of great help! Thanks so much. I struggle with very light skin values, but I will keep trying. You are an amazing Coach! I truly appreciate all you do to keep us in check! Question: when using blues, is cobalt blue, ultramarine blue or Prussian blue equally used in portraits? Blessings and take care.

So helpful! Thank you

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel thanks to help us

Good morning

I been watching and enjoying your video’s for a while could you post the app you used I would love to check it out. I do look forward to all your video’s thank you.

i read the title and I broke down

What classical music did you use in this video? It's beautiful!

I would love to know which colors you use as well ♡♡♡

Nice videos Great help 👌👌

Hii chrish

Chris, I really like your style of instruction and the quality of your work. Due to the chemical aspect of things and painting in my home I am using acrylics. My question is do you have students following you on Patreon that are using acrylic paint rather than oils? It seems to me a lot can be gleaned and only a few modifications would need to be made. Any others out there in this situation? Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thx

this was plain and simple 🤣

How do you get accurate proportions.

i need to learn how to mix, been wasting so much oil paint its not even funny :P

What's the name of the app again?

💛💛💛

I can't find the face model app he mentions 😢

Guys How does it usually take you to finish a realistic portrait of an A2 size ?🤔

I noticed that you paint in layers and sculpt, while other artsits like 'Alpay Efe' seem to just fill in the blanks with splotches of color. Do you know what these two different methods are, if one is easier than the other, or have any other opinions on them?

art teacher send me this

a plane is way to big to fit on my face! let alone several! what is this guy on about?? xD

i can't find this app by that name on the google play store, is it only for apple? does anyone know?
