I drew a profile-construct very lightly on the Canson Mi-teintes Paper in my sketchbook, then gave it two coats of clear gesso by Liquitex. Loving the limited palette of White, Black, Red and Yellow. I painted this portrait wet on wet, also called alla prima, or direct painting.

Follow me:

Experience how I paint the human figure. I explain every thought of the process, and you will see me apply every mark on the canvas in my latest video:

To see me in action painting a portrait of my wife from start to finish, while sharing my thought process in almost 20 hrs of instruction, click the link below:

Witness my whole process of drawing the figure, from the construct stage to the final layers of rendering. You will hear my every thought and see every mark of charcoal on the paper:

I've never painted but, that orange pigment under her neck of the reflected light and the way the green pushes the background back against the hue of her skin is amazing. Thank you.

Every time I watch you work I learn just a little bit more. So subtle, so delicate is your touch and the choices you make that it takes a lot of time to understand even little things you do.

Your bent toward classical realism is SO refreshing! Bouguereau is my all-time favorite. Your sketch books alone are inspiring! Tnx for sharing!!

Awww Cesar - you're the best :D Your videos are motivating me to pick up the brush each time and not to give up when a painting doesn't turn out the way I wanted right away. I also appreciate the rhymes you're busting at the end :D ! Lots of love <3

I almost had a heart attack when you closed the folder... 'You're Paint might still be Wet!!'
But I suppose it was dry already😅
Love the paint, skin has this beautiful silky texture to it👍👍
