Painting a self portrait from life in the alla-prima style.

Portrait painting sketch in oils. Self portrait from looking in a mirror.... about 3 hrs to create the painting but sped up to about 8 minutes. This video walks the viewer through the color choices on the palette, establishing shapes to get a likeness, how to mix flesh tones, developing the features and when to say the sketch is complete!

I've been really enjoying these short formative videos as i try to direct myself away from reels and shorts. I feel like they're in that sweet spot of being both informational yet digestible, can't wait for more!

It always delights me when grey against orange reads as blue or when black and yellow make green.

Lovely painting. I myself enjoy painting self portraits as well.

Love your little study but even more so the self portraits at the end. I’m a fan of a limited pallet too. It’s astounding how many colours you can mix with so few. Or the right fee.

i too try to use separate brushes for shadow and light. do you have any ways to combat having lighter tones mix into your darker brush (and vice versa) given that you're working in all wet paint? i hate when colors get muddy

I can never do it this way without it looking deformed.
