Oh my this is the best tutorial. As a beginner , learning, being inspired, learning! Thank you very enjoyable and appreciated!

Shadows are warm. I keep having to stop the video to contemplate your wisdom.

Love your videos. What brand of paints do you prefer? I've been struggling to find a terra rosa, and a Mauve. Thank you.

It is the paper hot or cold press? Thank you for the tutorial

This is amazing. And so many words of wisdom. What a great teacher and great artist. I learned so much ! Thank you

Thank you , Ben! So helpful and inspiring. I enjoyed the whole process.

❤ THANK YOU VERY MUCH ❤ BEN ❤

THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING! I LOVE IT. I especially love his little hold nuggets like hope he uses the red pencil which type and why, the fact that he uses the compass with tooth picks and two steps of paper and how he uses good glossy copy paper. Those things help so much more than you realize

This is the most helpful tutorial i've ever seen. Thank you for your effort

Excellent video. I paint acrylics and the problem I've been having on a particular portrait is, I painted a the skin the same colour, allowing it to dry, before, adding highlights and shadows. However, after looking great when I finished on any given day, the next day it's much darker so I have to try again everyday. I also struggle with depth. What do you suggest??

I really need to work on the warm shadow/cool highlight concept. I'm more watercolor, but I think all of the same principles apply. It's so tempting to go violet in the shadows.

Why My work not is real 😅 help

Amazing

You are a great artist and teacher! Thank you for sharing your gifts! Could you do a dog or pet portrait video?

Ben, it’s great to see you back again. I wish you were my art teacher very very long time ago. You explain things clearly and easily to understand. Your tone is so kind and sincere. You remind me my grandpa who is far far away from me now. Thank you so much, Ben. 🙏🏻💚

Do you offer Zoom lessons - private or group?

Thank you for these lessons. Invaluable information. Also, the music is absolutely incredible. I’m a professional violinist by trade, and am enjoying this beautiful work on all levels!

I've been painting for several years. I also watch a lot of videos on the subject and this is certainly the most beautiful painting demonstration I've seen so far.

Thank you sir. This is a masterclass explanation in separating warms and cools on the face. I will practice once a day from beginning to end.

do you use a medium?

Ben this was one of the best, most necessary detailed videos that I have ever seen to explain the face colours. It was absolutely brilliant both in explanation and pace. Thank you so much for sharing this. Also, to show the palette while painting, allowed us see how you were mixing and picking up the paint. This was a great aid and a real treat. You explained every brushstroke's reason, colour and precise application. You are amazing artist and teacher.

How generous of you to share your knowledge like this. Thank you so much, it was very instructive.

So fresh. This video goes across the heaviness of being an artist and delves into the simplicity of being a true creative.

Where can I find this type of set up to buy? ie the standing canvas and table for mixing colors? Thanks!!

I loved it ❤ thank you so much for taping and sharing this tutorial 🙏🏼 I’ve learned a lot from it.

Great. Wow

so complicated work, but so easy for Ben Lustenhower

Incredible🤩

Thank you for sharing your process, including the color-mixing. This is an excellent portrait, l love it. I am so glad l found you, I am starting to learn how to paint portraits, which I've been evading for a long time, l found them very difficult

Beautifully Explained.

This is how the perfect teaching is about. Why would not someone explain a simplified version like this...I was searching for something like this for so long...what a great video..
