Light/Dark Fair/Rich I LOVE that you speak like an artist, in terms of light, hue, chroma.... and ethnicity 😇

Aaaagh, I wanted to see the finished painting and the picture reference he was working from! I found the skin colour theory very useful and will use it in my paintings.

I will say "thank you" to Everyone who upload their Art tutorials...

I learnt many things through it nd now my portraits are improving...and able to get commission works...


Thank you again 😊

I’m definitely not a painter but this was so fun to watch! I picked up paint today just for something to do as a hobby, I can’t wait to practice with your help

[danellagerish]

Great job! You did a wonderful job explaining everything. I sort of wish you would show your pallet as you are demonstrating.

[cindymorgan]

Thank you for posting exactly what I needed to see! I’ve accomplished my first oil painting, a still life (and someone has asked to buy it!). I’m slowly moving toward my goal of painting of a lovely dark skin mother with her beautiful daughter. I appreciate so much the help you’ve given me to move along this pathway!

I don't know if you finished this painting, but is so...can you please show us the final piece or a photo. I really love the colors in this dark skin tone, and there's no other video, photo or painting that has your skin tone palette. I'm doing a painting trying to achieve this color palette, it would really help to see the final results, thank you. Love your channel, your a great artist

[jimholmes]

This was a huge help to me as I was exploring material for starting painting a miniature figurine today. Thank you!

How do you know how to use the specific paint to create the lightness and darkness on the face. I'm struggling with that
