5 minutes into the video and I’m already blown away how she achieved subject resemblance so easily WOW 👍

[friedricengravy]

Certainly one of the best (most thorough, clear, & informative) lectures on portrait painting I have found. Being a bit OCD about painting & educational content about painting, that compliment comes after 100’s of videos.

Thank you Proko for providing this content & also, I feel this is a wonderful portrait so hats off to Ms. Hernes. Thank u for sharing ur time & experience as well.

This was one of the most subtly beautiful painting demos I've ever seen. Amazing approach, amazing likeness, and a gorgeous result that's so much richer than just a copy of the photo source. The cool, almost lavender tones of the underpainting make the warmer skin tones absolutely glow as they're painted in. This was delightful.

This is so relaxing. Omg lol. She is so articulate and wise—the fact that she’s conveying all of this through such a wonderful accent is just perfect. This is the calmest I’ve felt all week. Thanks so much for sharing your time, knowledge and talent with us 🙂🎨👩‍🎨

Love the approach. I have never heard English so elegantly, thoroughly and precisely spoken. Beautiful. Thank you.

To see the portrait gradually come to life... Mesmerising!

[joannschoenleber]

This is one of the most amazing 🤩 painting tutorials of all time!!! Masterly thank you 🙏

I must find a way to add this knowledge to my stylized illustration style. I find lines extremely appealing but this method of building the colours is appealing as well.

[geezsazsa]

you are quite brilliant, especially the way you are able to articulate so well, what (and why) you are doing. I'm also a portrait artist and often watch these kind of video tuts for inspiration. Thanks

I tried a paint-along to this video twice (taking 4 hrs to cover the first 1 hour of painting). Both times my proportions were way off! I usually make a detailed underdrawing and do a lot of measuring or griding first. It's a challenge for sure being able to nail the proportions without those measurements; I'm sure it would take a lot of practice to get better at it. It was really fun to try and I could see it speeding up the painting process a lot if I got better at that. It also makes the painting process flow a lot better and feel more natural / less rigid, plus you don't have to freak out when you start losing the lines of your underdrawing and worry you'll lose your markers.

I also found the add-remove-add-remove flow interesting. It worked well to remove with clothes and clean brushes, but bamboo skewers did not work at all for me.

She is so knowledgeable and experienced! I want to be a teacher like her someday.

You are the first artist I've ever heard say that working smaller is your choice...I love things smaller too - certainly no larger than life size. <3

[leticiascpaila]

Me encanta Cornelia ya compre uno de sus cursos, una Genia total!!!

[DougieWotherspoon]

Your content is so informative. I draw and have been looking to transition to painting but couldn't find a clear path or the inspiration. Your description and narrative is as beautifully informative and formed as your stunning painting. I'm so inspired to get some colour now. Thank you!

[duantorruellas]

She nailed it . 👍👍 Brilliant painting.

[TaniaRouserArt]

Masterpiece is when a painting is far better than a photograph. I see a master’s hand in here. Wow wow 🤩

[mauraherman]

What a beautiful piece, congratulations!

[donamir]

[danielat]
