Painting a portrait from a live model is not easy some of you. Still, I would like to advise everyone to keep practicing portrait drawing as much as possible, in the long run it pays off
It is my intention to publish everything I know about portrait painting.

I had to stop today and realize I need to copy your technique more and more to get away from trying to make my portraits look too perfect. It works as you describe how it is done. At 85 I am still learning......thanks for this new video!

I have been drawing portraits in graphite and charcoal for many years. I have all the tools, including oils, I need to attempt a painting but they have stayed on the shelf. Your instructions and inspiration have made me overcome my fears of "really messing up." I have now begun the portrait painting journey. Thank you sincerely!

Ben, I am so glad to watch your videos! Last weekend I painted from live model, she tried to sit still for about 1,5-2 hours, looking TV series) before I learned from your video how to put underpainting in raw umber like you do. It was my second portrait painting in oil, and it was also second painting from live model. The first one was done also after the video if your blonde granddaughter. Now I realized that I have no fear of oil and of painting with people sitting in front of me anymore 😅 I have been painting in oil only from October 2022 and at first I was afraid of this medium. At first I started from landscapes and still life. But I always wanted to make portraits, since I tried draw them in pencils and watercolor and acrylic. How luckily I met you on KZfaq! I watch you videos one by one like a dessert 😊 and of course not only one time! I send you so much gratitude and respect! You are the awesome painter, I like your “not-too-elaborated” style. Hope to see more videos from you!)

Dear Mr. Lustenhauwer. Watching you paint and listening to you explaining every detail is how I build - slowly - my own techniques, hoping to get better and better over time. But there is another, perhaps even greater gift you give to us - your audience - and that is CONFIDENCE in our abilities to see, experience and understand the world around us and encourage us to paint. Thank you - again!

Absolutely loved this video. I loved how you demonstrated putting emotions into your painting with music. The guitar background music was amazing. While I’m new to art, it’s always been important to me to find the connection to the piece rather than the paint by number exactness. Looking forward to watching more. And thanking you for taking Thru the colors as you go and sharing your palette.

I feel so much inspiration and joy when I watch you paint. You are a true teacher, one that I feel so privileged to be here for and see you making art. You make beautiful analogies and wholesome decisions and mistakes all at the same time and every step is a true makers mark. Ben, thank you for another stunning video. Loved the guitar playing by your cousin as well. So uplifting, felt like I needed this whole video this month. With feeling down about my art stagnancy. And I'm over the moon to hear you talk about brushwork and likeness and how it isn't about the details but about expression. Can you tell it's your friend? Yes! And I can tell so much more too... When you see a painting that captures the moment from the artist eye you see more than an image/a copy but a living moment/feeling. It's like we get to know that person through someone else's eye - magical. it's not something everyone understands though (not wanting to add too much detail) but I truly love that ambiguity about art..and I wish I was better at it. I agree; it is indeed easier to jump back into creating if you leave out those ready to use tools but also a clear space & inviting space that begs to get messy is also good 💞 Can't wait for your next video Mr Lustenhouer! It's always a treat
