Painting My Favorite PORTRAIT at THE MET, but with an Airbrush

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres has always been one of my favorite painters. Although he considered himself a history painter, I like many others love him for his portraits. (I love his history paintings too!)
In this video we will be copying The Princesse de Broglie, a portrait completed by Ingres in 1853. We'll also make a stop at The Met (metropolitan museum of art) in NYC to show you where this painting hangs. I'll talk about some art history and of Ingres, but this painting lesson is all about the techniques used during the neoclassical movement of the mid 19th century. The challenge is that I will not be using oil paint for this one. This copy will be completed entirely in acrylic paints and an airbrush. Can an acrylic painting look like an oil painting? Yes and No. Find out within this lesson. Thanks for watching!

Astounding! I'm truly amazed at your ability to judge values properly and not go too dark or spray too much. This is one area that is very difficult for me. In my case, I'd have to paint in the background and hair first, then work on the face, but you did it the other way which takes a keen eye and much more skill. I would be totally intimidated to even start a challenging portrait from an art master like this. You mentioned cartoons and that's exactly my skill level but you seemed to pull this one off with ease. I know the finished piece represents many hours of work, but your effort really shows. Terrific job! I wish more airbrush artists would take history lessons from you instead of painting the same old stuff we've seen dozens of times. As somewhere I will probably never get to visit, I loved seeing The Met and learning why it's such a special place. BTW, you've convinced me that I need a printer instead of using a monitor or tablet. Recommendations? There are too many to choose from and I'd like to know which you think would be best. Eagerly awaiting the next video and to watch you paint the gown with all the intricate details.

Hello. I just wanted to say I absolutely love your tutorials and the history behind the art that you create. Is there any possible way you would be willing to create a lesson on how to create the outline before beginning to airbrush? I would love to follow along on some of your tutorials, but I’m not sure how to start with the reference on the substrate. Thank you so much for everything you do.

Hello. I recently subscribed to your channel. Can I ask, how did it get your pencil eraser so sharp?

[BunyipToldMe]

I can't pronounce "Ingres" either. Thoroughly enjoyed this lesson though.
