this video changed my life I just painted the best portrait I've ever made

This video needs a love button. Like isn’t up to the task.

My art teacher sent this to me and I swear it was the most detailed and helpful video I’ve ever seen. That’s some amazing work... as someone else said, I really can’t believe this was free!

This is by far the best tutorial for mixing colors for the face. Thanks for showing us how to create a beautiful painting.

"When you start making it simpler, it's easier to paint. Don't see it too complicated. Usually people see far too many colors." Oh, this is so true!!! Thank you for putting into words why I struggle.

Ben: "highlights are cool"
Me: "damn right they are"
Ben: "this is a cool highlight, crimson and white"
Me: "hell yeah it is!"
Ben: "lights are cool, shadows are warm..."
Me: "oh, that's what he meant..."

Thanks!❤ Years ago I studied oil portraits with a very fine artist, Bill Kalwick. He moved away and it was over. Today I found your video and I feel I’ve found him again. I do love your video and teaching and I will watch all of them. I am inspired again. Thank you so much, Virginia Perle. !!!

I was impressed on how you never saw the artist's hand. He holds the brush at the very end. That gives his work a very loose and natural look. Amazing!

My eyes : yes, I got it ! My hand : No, you don't.

Perfection. 29 years in art, and somebody finally explains it in a simplified manner. I took notes like Dylan.

[ShelliMansfeld]

I must add I have never seen a tutorial where an artist is so much at ease with his brush and that really knows exactly what every stroke will do I am so impressed and learned so much.

This was so helpful, detailed and extremely well taught! I've watched other oil painting videos about this topic but I always felt like it was way too much information but this really makes it simple and easy to understand. Thank you so much!!!!

Sometimes (very rarely) you come across pure gold dust instruction. This is one such. This is simply brilliant!

[tomislavdjokic]

Hello Mr. Lustenhouwer! This is the simplest and most ingenious tutorial I've seen. Thank you, sir.

[gingerdean]

This was great. Thank you for simplifying the basic shapes and colors of the face. I needed this information to help my painting. Please continue on.

Very calming video in a time of great chaos. Stay well and continue painting. Thank you for sharing.

“If you need black, don’t paint black “
Where has this been my whole life. So that’s why my hairs look like they’ve been forced in a bucket of black wall paint
Thank you so much for the video💕💕💕💕

I'm sad that I only came across this channel today. I cannot believe this is free. Thank you so much, Ben!
