I've been spending much of my time learning and researching at the moment so I thought why not include all of the advice that has been helping me the most into a video!

And a little side note... this is the first video that I've had the option to add dub. To my international listeners, I would love to know what you think of it! Does it sound natural? Is the translation good or does it sound a bit strange? Hopefully Youtube will continue to add more languages

So cool to see the face take shape with every paint stroke. You are so talented!!

[Thidziambi]

I think it was Paint Coach who also speaks about conveying what your painting with as few brushstrokes as possible. I remember hearing him speak about it too 🌷

Girl, you are so very talented. Thank you for sharing your master skills. Can’t wait to see what else you do in 2025. Happy New Year!!🎉❤

C ’est exactement ça .... je me retrouve dans votre technique, bravo pour cette vidéo .

Your arty powers are strong, and especially strong for powering through the seasonal lurgy that seems to have done the rounds this winter! 🎨💪😌 I looked through forward to seeing where your oil journey takes you, and it’s definitely inspiring me more and more to pick up a brush instead of an Apple Pencil! 😄

I love this style. Hyperrealistic portraits don't appeal to me; they don't convey artistic expression. Regarding the brush strokes, I love to see them, the movement, direction, and texture tell a lot about the mood of the artist... 8:04 "we don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents"

Beautiful painting!
I also just wanted to pop in to say that I have a Meeden easel and I really like it!

Nice work! Have you tried painting from life? It’s harder to capture accurate likeness but seeing the colour shifts in the skin is so much easier. Recommend giving it a go if you get the chance!

[NK-vnju]

Hey, I’m starting my journey just like you did, I was wondering if you use mediums or solvents to modulate the texture of your paint? If so, when/in what quantities do you use them throughout the painting? Thanks a ton!

[SlavoljubRadovanović-nu]

Mistakes are part of the creative process, which does not make them mistakes!😆I always count on mistakes and that I will suffer a little, especially if the composition is demanding...

Nice video!!!
Would you like to do a Bouguereau's video about skin colours and how he painted naked skin?

[ExoNViruS]

She looks soooo juicy ( definitely not in the way you would normally use the word 😂)
I really love the hair and the skin looks so healthy
I like that you left it semi unfinished I quite like the look of such paintings even mine
This motivated me to try something like that for myself- I’m usually thinking that there is no point in painting if it doesn’t turn out perfect. Definitely need to get some painting exercise ❤

How can YouTube haide this video from me for 20 minutes 😭😭

I am mesmerized by your painting. I hope you create a Patreon or membership one day. I would love to learn from you.🥹💝🌹
