I want to talk about eyes with you today, some of the misconceptions that I think new artists can develop when trying to paint them and how to correct those mistakes to improve your art.

The whites of the eye (sclera) are definitely not white. I like using the iris color and desaturate it towards gray. It creates a nice contrast and color-wise unifies the sclera and iris.

This is THE best eye tutorial I’ve found. My eyes 👁 are instantly about 10x better from watching this!! Thank you 😊

Think of the “white of eye” as Cooler flesh tone…..brilliant. You are on fire!

Thanks for the inspiring words. New at painting, and new at feeling, not so wanting to do much of anything.

Thank you, that was very helpful: I have very rarely painted portraits, but have tried a few recently - all of the points you make resonate with me. My other problem is that I tend to paint the face's lines too sharp and dark, as if they've been inked in - not a good look, but I hope I'm learning slowly. Whether I should have started to paint portraits at the age of 72 is something else again, given I've always painted landscapes in the past: but it really is unfailingly interesting.

I started painting late in life, I know I’m not a Rembrandt but I really don’t care: as long as I give it my best and enjoy painting I’m happy 😊

The long haired male portrait that you painted near the end of the video was beautifully painted. Excellent lively work.

Hi Chelsea. As always, another helpful video. I have a question from a previous video with Devin Korwin. Do you have any suggestions on books to help us to learn to draw from imagination?

@mrmowjorisin Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video! Chelsea can you tell me what kind of panel you do your paintings on? Is it linen?

my painting tutor told me the thing about painting an eye first thing since so many of his students painted the sclera of an eye white all the time, i was only 11 tho so needed to be told that lol

Painting eyes has always been a nightmare. If they're off in some way then rip. The viewer will be too distracted to take in the remainder of the image.

Some great reminders here, especially drawing the contour line that indicates the face centre. Even masters like Daniel Gerhartz will do this to guide further spacial judgements. Also, occlusion shadows in the face are very warm darks, like the nostrils and corners of the eyes.
