Live acrylic painting - How to paint a portrait in Acrylics

hello thank you this hello i think it's better now can you hear me now okay please let me know you can hear me if anybody can hear me okay okay okay i'm gonna start just with a sketch i'm gonna use a little bit of blue with a lot of water and let's make a sketch here the top the bottom and just trying to see the overall shape here where i'm going to place the face okay i think this is okay here the center length the center line of the face the line for the eyes brow nose and chin you know that i mean to do this you just you just need to need to follow the uh normal proportions the cannon from the brow to the nose same distance from the nose to the bottom of the chin okay the eyes are usually on the middle of the whole head from the top to the bottom okay the eyes are in the middle speaking about the candle i'm not speaking about the measurements that maybe she could have like a bigger head or maybe a smaller head who knows but first i have to use um the canon in order to have a structured drawing okay okay let's see one eye should be here okay let's see the angle of the nose and the contour of the face okay from the nose from the bottom of the nose to the bottom of the chin usually the mouth uh the button of the mouth is in the middle around here on top of this line that's gonna be the whole mouth and to prevent that my face just tilted different from the from the picture i'm gonna look for some enlightenment for for example i see that the corner of the mouth on the photograph okay it's aligned up with i think it's kind of the iris here let me use my brush to see yes okay i'm gonna take i'm gonna think about this through the whole process in this way i'm gonna uh this is gonna prevent uh the mouth or the eyes to move maybe too much to the left or right okay let me see the center of the nose i always check out this angle okay in order to check out this angle just just use your brush and put it on top of your photo and move it like this and you're gonna have the right angle there hello uh hassan hello lattice where is your painting surface plate please i'm painting on canvas okay i think i think with this i have enough you know i'm gonna paint and draw at the same time and because i don't start with a really accurate drawing i mean if i spend a lot of time here just that's going to be kind of a waste of time for me trying to be precise with the brush i have to paint and draw okay let's pick up some painting you know first i'm going to mix just an orange because the skin color is just an orange color a grayish orange color and i have to just grab down that orange i can use uh blue or gray okay here's my second okay i hope it's okay let's make some orange now a touch of blue is going to gray down this orange okay if it looks greenish you need to add red white two yellowish a lot more paint on top of this that's okay i mean with acrylics because it dries so fast that's okay not more red more white continue painting i'm just putting just one color for the lights you can with acrylics uh i can uh try to be faster and mix two colors and try to blend them or just let's say add one color they dry and then add the next color okay i'm gonna spray water on my brush i need now a different brush this one is gonna be okay [Music] now remember every time that you want to knock down the color your first option it could be adding the complementary color on your color wheel so when i knock down orange you add a touch of blue okay the other way is using gray black and white mean i gotta say that uh a landscape painter is going to choose the complementary color a portrait painter is gonna choose i mean speaking mostly not all of all of them they're gonna choose gray maybe gray paint or black and white okay you're gonna see the drawing i have to check out always the proportions okay okay i think this is just too colorful but that's okay you know it's gonna dry fast i'll be back on top of this color with a grayish color a grayish color stepping back checking out okay hello david hello is grab buying low do you prefer oil or acrylics i prefer oil paints maybe you do your asking right now and why i'm painting with acrylics you know that when we say that we prefer something is snow light we're not going to try different materials or techniques you know that i love what i love about acrylics is the dry time dry faster and i can just put more paint and more paint and glaze and do a lot of things that i wouldn't be able to do it with oil paints because i would wait with oil paints i have to wait i have to wait for the oil paints to dry but here i just i have to wait like five minutes ten minutes and continue painting hello jonas hello aria hello michael i'm just using water you know that i have heard that grayson are yeah some kind of medium that slow down the dry time and actually mix that even i have hair that looks like acrylics with that medium looks like oil paint because it takes a lot of time to dry perfect you know i don't i don't like that if i work with acrylics because i want them to dry faster if i paint with oils if because i want them to dry slower okay i'm stepping back just a minute let me see if the color is okay here in my screen i think everything is okay for some reason i don't know why but i find this for me i mean really relaxing adding this amount of paint i'm gonna use this brush from blending and just wet the brush and take out the excess water and i do this okay you see some blending here low manuel low milk really any tip any tips for blending weight on dry acrylic paints i'm gonna do that in a minute the good thing about acrylics you know if i made a mistake that's gonna be easier to correct sometimes jonas is telling his writing sometimes when i paint portraits i use my hands to blend the colors in a circular motion yeah that's good too yeah that works perfect i'm gonna gray down this color a little bit more use black and white i need more weight i'm doing this exciting yeah okay right now i'm trying to add a little bit more red to the cheeks i repeat this in every video about the reddish areas on the face the cheek nose upper and lower eyelid okay and a little bit on the forehead and on the chin just a little bit okay mixing this gray with the skin color a minute i need to spray where all my brushes here okay it was too dark i'm not going to leave this like that i just wanted to gray down the color around here you know that there are some areas on the face that there are not too much color on the skin usually in the nasal bone between the eyes okay and obviously always here now i added too much gray and what i'm trying to make is this okay let me show you a difference here with this color right in this area here now it's just too bright you can make this kind of greenish if you want okay or greyish i'm choosing gray you can choose green gray oh no or just uh let's say the same skin color but just a little bit more greyish that means a darker orangey grayish color kind of difficult to explain with words it's more about showing that explaining i don't know you can see the difference obviously this color this color i'm just going to let dry this and i'm going to draw a little bit uh when i say draw i mean i'm going to try to make details on the face uh boris how come you added gray now yes i mean i did that because my face it was too orangey yeah and man you know since it's kind of easier to add more and more paint uh than feeling okay with this even that i see this kind of red greyish that's okay i'm gonna put more paint on top of that okay happy do you have any plans on making a monochrome portrait like using only black and white yeah yeah yeah maybe michael what would be the best tip you could give for a painting with acrylic except for painting quicker okay i think the best okay i mean always proportion drawing all of that this i mean that's the basic basic things that we need to know we're speaking about let's say the the the way that you approach or you think of your fear when you paint with acrylics usually i have seen so many people like they prefer clinics but at the same time they kind of have to deal deal with the dry time and that kind of stress then maybe too much and you cannot paint i mean we already have a stress we already have some pressure when we paint something especially when we paint something realistic and on top of that paint with that pressure because the kind of the material is fighting you okay first uh that would be just try to relax about that okay you know that this painting is gonna dry on you there's no way to fight that i mean unless you use of course any a different medium or something a something that slow down the process but you just you just use water okay i think the best option just stop fighting that in the less work with that okay you have to take up advantage of that it's just like the same way that we take advantage of oil paint when we try slower to blend and all of that it's the same with acrylics definitely the blending that's going to be different we can blend if we add two colors together one next two to the other and blend in the middle or we can fade the paint and that's something that i mean maybe something that i do more than blending like here okay i can make this chirp or i can fade the paint on top of the other okay there because we fight the material i mean on top of that we are really so worried about uh having the proportions right uh values right how dark how light is something on top of that then trying to get the likeness and on top of that fighting with the dry time it's just that that's just crazy it's too much i don't think that we can handle that much you have to wait while trying for oil paint i didn't get the question you have to wait while trying for oil paint sorry hello cage okay i need to step back i need to check out the proportions start okay yeah okay let's continue drawing i have the eyes here okay no doesn't mean just a minute it's only proof for me that sometimes i forget that i have to spray water because i mean you know that i i get used to paint with oil paints and i keep forgetting sometimes that i'm painting i have to just keep my paintings wet like really quick with okay i'm just going to add more light here i think i think it's a weight more it's going to start drying on me okay let's see the highlight is here i have to move this a little bit up highlight here and here okay maybe this light is too bright you could see this is tipping back let me see i'm going to zoom in my image here let's see i have the eye here brow nose mouth chain okay proportions proportions yeah i need to move the mouse a little bit lower um you have any question just write down please sometimes i just run out of words i'm not gonna say anything just painting feel free to ask me any questions okay i add the paint with this brush i'm going to use this one for blending okay something like that i have both here with this hand okay i add paint here and i use this for blending okay just a break are you painting the cover yes i'm painting on the canvas prepare my canvas with three layers of gesso sometimes i i i hear somebody some people say gesu other people saying jesus and one layer of any gray color that i have sometimes i just use pure green like black and white to tone the canvas i always prefer to work on the toned canvas you know this is easier to judge the color on the tone canvas especially for lighter colors but on a white canvas any light color it's going to look a little bit darker and that's going to confuse us a little bit okay let's make a little bit of details i'm gonna work on the eyes let me see my screens okay i'm zooming in here the eye on my pen on my my screen okay i keep forgetting that i have to add water okay let me see let me see okay this is i need another brush to blend that just a minute um okay uh this is what i say when i uh this is what i said uh when i was speaking about blending it's not like blending blending just it's more like just fading one paint on top of the other for example here i put the paint here okay and with this brush i go around the brush stroke spreading kind of spreading the brush stroke i clean out the brush okay and again okay okay i need to pay a little bit of attention to the likeness yeah something is not okay with this eye okay and there is a little lighter value here okay let's work on the iris something's not okay on the iris um hello roll roll uh what the drive time for oil paint and acrylic paint painting what's the difference i think in the dry time okay there's a huge difference between oil paint and feelings the oil paints it dries and you could paint for maybe i think eight hours or maybe even 10 hours until you feel that the oil paint is kind of sticky but at the same time it depends on the weather it depends where you are here in my country in the coast you can paint eight ten hours if you go to the sierra here in my country peru you can paint a couple of days and you feel the painting that's still wet it's pretty pretty wet i mean you can continue painting and painting with acrylics they dry just in what 10 minutes 20 minutes i gotta say that nowadays affiliates drive a little bit slower that uh let's say 20 years ago or 30 years ago that uh maybe the you know that i tried achilles maybe when i was uh in the third or four fourth year in the school of art okay i started to paint with oils always can you i mean i know that so many people start to paint with acrylics and then paint with oil paint my case you know it's different in my case i mean my mom she's a painter in the house there was always oil paints and that's what that was my first choice okay let me see i don't like i don't like the eye let's continue painting okay you know what before uh this is gonna dry on me this i mean you know we spend a lot of time trying to get the portions right i'm just going to put this paint here i mean i don't want to waste this there's a little bit of gray here wow too much gray i have to mix again and change that color because i didn't realize there it looks like there are some a little bit of black there and that pollute my mixture and now you see this color i don't want to clean out that area just want this painting to have more thick paint what i'm going to do is just mix more paint here and put it on top of that okay this is not going to be the final color no no no right now since you see this let me see terrible terrible terrible terrible horrible this is a an accident this is not a happy accident yeah maybe this is gonna be my style to leave this like that i love this anyway that wasn't this is i didn't have this in mind uh i'm going to blend this a little bit i just don't want to i didn't want to waste too much paint okay i didn't want to i didn't want the paint just dry on my palette okay leave it there what do you think oh i can't leave the brush stroke there maybe not i don't know what do you think about the brush stroke let me know do you think it would be a good idea to leave it there or not let me know what you think eh please before it gets dry it's gonna be too late in a few minutes okay that's better i like it with that uh let's say pallet uh knife strokes but i mean i think it's better now okay that's better this work more details uh okay monique see you later thank you thank you one uh t i prefer the smoother look rather than brush strokes personally yeah that's okay michael too late michael catherine tatiana what acrylics friends do you recommend i don't have too much experience with acrylics sorry i just i'm using right now this uh this is the brand i'm using right now riffs okay and i gotta be honest you know you know my channel you know they paint mostly with oils it's just it was kind of it wasn't it's not the cheapest one well definitely it wasn't expensive one that's why i bought it i mean you can judge judge by yourself it looks okay for me i don't see like i mean i think the the last time that i used acrylics i just oh my god i don't remember but i think it was uh it was rembrandt or amsterdam i was i think oh i think it was astonishing i'm confusing this with rembrandt and i use it to be honest really thick i remember really thick not i mean this is just not leaving the tempered sand off and it took like an hour to dry in some areas really really thick okay that's uh my own experience with a different brand well there was too much yellow i added too much red here that's why i'm trying adding a little bit of grey just to create down this area okay i need to darken this okay i'm gonna just do it that in a minute okay this is that there let's work on the nose mix a little bit of blue with red i already have here some dark red just like brown so let's work on the mouth lower lip i'm gonna light up the lower lip okay clean this i'm cleaning the same same brush and i'm gonna use the same brush for to blend you know to soften this brush stroke okay okay okay i'm gonna do the same in the upper lip it's getting light up here just clean the brush and i soften this and i'm keeping this dark here close to the middle of the mouth okay i need to work on the shape of the mouth because you know i have like a straight line and definitely it's not a straight line okay and adding a highlight and with this brush i'm just softening the brush stroke okay hello ingrid hello lucas hello dennis hello oh my god i'm trying to keep these two brushes on my hand okay apply paint with one and with this one i just soften the brush stroke oh i saw a question uh it was a thing okay i don't see it now what's about the sizes the sizes of my brushes i have the size of the painting is um like eight by eight inches and i have this brush number number zero this brush is number i don't remember i don't see anymore oh number six this one number 10 this one number 12 this one number 10. the problem is with the sizes is just it varies a lot number 10 number 10 you see see the difference okay [Applause] kind of difficult to too much different just too much difference between the brands they should have some kind of no agreement to all of them just to work with the same sizes in this way is not confusing uh okay now i'm gonna change my brush for a darker color mixing blue red and yellow just mixing some brown let's see i add the brush stroke okay i have this brush here that i'm using for blending with wet and i do this i'm going to use a bigger brush to blend none of them i'm going to use this brush number 12. this the uh the brand is injured singer i hope you can see it there it's wet and i do this let's see if this is okay you know that i want a little bit of this grayish color that i added at the beginning okay i don't see it anymore i think i have to just add some glazes to try to get the balance i see a little bit of the grayish here but not that much i think yeah i don't have more options just to add a glaze mixing black red and yellow okay now here i have to be a little bit faster and [Music] i don't like to leave sharp edges and i need to soften this okay it's okay no no it's not okay i mean it's just this h i need to work here the value is not right it should be darker here and the shape here the forehead is no right okay that's better oh i forgot to soften this okay still wait that's perfect this mixing black red a touch of yellow with this one i'm going to soften that edge okay hmm okay i still need to work on values or not one of the good things about working with acrylics it's going to be always uh we i i i feel like let's say that there's uh like a speed up process of oil painting i mean that's what i feel because you know that i used to paint more with oils and for example doing this here making this dark is something that i would do use with in oil paints and i will paint after a week or two weeks when the painting is dry and this is a glaze with a glaze i change the value here and of course i add uh you see this gradation and that's something that usually we do that after a week with oil paints and that's the advantage of the dry time with acrylics the only problem that's gonna be always that sometimes when we want to retouch an area we're gonna realize that it's gonna it's gonna be kind of really difficult to match with the color and you know that happens because acrylics will when they get dry gets a little bit darker and that's gonna be always something difficult to try to match i need to light up the upper lip uh hello leticia hello jaime thank you kami gilbert is asking me do you have a special way to stop the grilling paint from from drying too fast uh no i'm just working with water okay okay what i want is just acrylic just to dry on its own speed i don't want this to dry faster or slower in fact sometimes i just want this to dry even faster because i want just to add a little bit of paint and i want to add more paint but i don't want this paint to get mixed mixed with the other okay and you know i mean for example this area here that has i have i added more paint you can see here pretty sure this is wet it's still wet and it's been maybe 20 minutes i don't want to touch it but i'm pretty sure it's wet i mean if what actually looks more uh thin it's gonna dry faster it's thicker it's gonna dry slower it's just about the amount of paint for example right now i would like this to dry faster because 20 minutes is just too much and i have seen sometimes actually explain paintings that it didn't drain in an hour because it has too much thick paint and i mean i don't want that when i work with it's like uh it's a different mindset every time that i'm gonna paint with acrylics in my head is just to take advantage of this the dry time okay i know that i change i start to think different think that i'm thinking okay i'm going to add an a layer and then it's going to dry i'm going to add a little another layer and continue on and on and on okay when i paint with oils i think okay this is not gonna dry i'm gonna mix the painting on top of okay one layer on top of the other one it's gonna mix on the canvas okay it's just like a different uh mind set a different approach just because it's drying time and obviously for example if i'm working with watercolor it's totally a different approach every material that has a different technique a different a different mindset you have to let's say change the way that you you blend every time that you change the material and in my way of thinking i don't think about fighting i don't think about fight the clinic like okay i just want i want this to work slower at this one to dry slower no no i'm just assuming that it's gonna try faster and try to take advantage of that on that of that the high misa skin doesn't really lose its original color that's true but with time i mean at the moment when we paint it gets a little bit darker when it dries what it makes really difficult to try to match the color again okay i mean i have seen that so many times people try to match the color and they're not able to get it because they think that's right when it's wet as soon as you get dr get dry they see that it's a little bit darker what could you do well that's a tough question i don't know what i mean and just continue painting adding layer after layer it's like as i'm trying to match i don't try to match the previous color i'm just going on top of the painting again and again i add more paint i add thicker paint thinner paint but that's something that's going to be really difficult if you try to match a color with acrylics especially when when that happens when you change the value when it gets dry got a question i remember somebody asked me what should i do i mean i don't know i don't know the answer i mean what would be what would be a nice answer well that's kind of difficult it's just material it's just like oh no what can i say the funny thing is when i paint with acrylics like so often i keep forgetting all those things i'm starting just more comfortable and i forget that it dries a little bit darker i forget that all of those things and i just paint paint okay i need some glazes here let's see it's been what almost 40 minutes let's see if this is dry you want a bit i think it's still wet good thing yeah you see still wet okay this is one thing that i expect from oil paint but i don't like this from acrylic right now i want this to be dry completely dry because i'm planning to add a glaze there okay that means that it's not working for me right now i'm adding a light here on the iris i mean what should i do right now you want i mean some people want a really dry slogan i want right now this to dry faster ahead a hair dryer is a good option i don't have a good hair dryer with me i'm gonna add the highlight here a little bit i'm gonna paint the pupil now paint a little bit of light here on the screen so hmm now what now what i need i think i have to go upstairs and just look for a hair dryer i don't want to wait here what it's been more than 20 minutes since i applied this thick paint okay gilbert i paint every morning in oils and use winsor newton liquid to help speed up the drying time for next morning okay that's good i have troubles when i try to blend acrylics especially clouds and dams capes any secrets that can help to blend acrylics so the gloves look fluffy okay okay uh in that case you have to use those mediums that is uh i mean slow down the acrylic the dry time yeah that's the only way i think to blend clouds or just in that case that would be paint really fast perfect color really fast and try to blend really fast the other option i have just tried to add layer after layer and blend and i mean fade the layer with the one layer on top of the other and when i say i mean by that is this i mean i'm just gonna make this here a little bit of this they say i do this that was my palette knife with another brush it's wet i can't this is fading and the idea is to to her to end up with a kind of soft transition that's not that's not easy but that's the only thing that i think is gonna help to blend to know that everything is okay i mean trying to slow down acrylics try to speed up oil paints i mean speaking about the dry time for me it works just to just to to just the way it is just where it is i mean i know for sure that acrylics are gonna dry faster and that's that's it for me i don't expect the acrylics do anything more than that yeah but that's me that's me it's just me that i don't fight agreement it just i don't get mad that oh my god this is drying too fast no no it does that's normal and we with oil paints i i just work with linseed oil interpret time that means that the dry time does not be slow i don't use any medium to speed up the dry time but like i said that's me yes i just i'm not in a hurry when i paint with oil paints and not in a hurry when i paint with acrylics i mean that's not completely true with really with acrylics sometimes we have to work a little bit faster definitely you see you can call this blending but it's not i mean this is not like blending is like just making the upper uh this make the glaze you see and i'm gonna make it a little bit darker again okay now of course to do this we need the right tool i have a brush synthetic brush number 12. you see the shape of the brush originally this was a pointy brush a round brush let me see the shape now i need to darken all this area i'm going to touch this still wait a little bit my god i don't want to go upstairs for the hair dryer hello lia atelier wanna buy my book i don't have any book sorry i don't have any book gilbert okay thank you hello blight dennis is saying something here for clouds use chinese makeup brushes okay maybe that works who knows i think those are really soft yeah maybe we're gonna try him i'm going to try all the materials all the tools okay this is let's say my way of blending at the paint but you know there's no blending yeah i mean and and doing this right now that uh it's just like glazing at the beginning i added more paint it's not like always this the the same way of working sometimes i add less paint sometimes i add more paint but what i do like always i end up with really thin layers okay i always end up with thin layers basically with thin layers just to control values like here i made this darker just by repeating again and again now i i just waiting because i want to darken this area here let's see this is the same i add paint you see it's not thick i have my brush for blending is wet i do this okay i let it dry this is gonna dry faster because obviously i don't have too much paint there okay i know when i'm gonna wait for this to dry and add more paint because i'm making a mistake here i'm gonna correct something that's not right okay again this brush is wet but it doesn't mean that it has a little water i dip the brush in water and i do this okay now i can use it okay let's do the same here for example i'm gonna make this darker a little bit like this now the same brush okay just there just there i don't want to touch it touch it anymore okay if this is too dark we have to paint again or try to clean out this but that's gonna happen with acrylics with anything we have to uh go back back and forth just adding painting again and again hello maggie dennis you forgot to put a link to the for the picture okay so sorry yeah i forgot it i forget yeah let's do the same here you see it's really thin i do this now i have my brush this is wet where did i do this well this is still wet here let's deal with dry okay i cannot wait more for this to dry that means that i have to just put more paint and mix everything here to know i'm making a live stream i mean i cannot wait that much but you're working at home i mean they deal this weight okay wait more time for me that's gonna be just working this again really lightly with this brush you see i mean if you see me like working in slow motion you see that no pressure in the brush against the canvas is almost on the air okay i make this darker i have to make this darker too okay i made a mistake here this kind of greenish i add some red pink there i'm gonna change the color this is more like a grayish color i don't want too much paint and i'm gonna change it here a little bit okay now go back to this pink if i'm a mistake here what i'm going to do is just add more paint again to all this area just prepare more paint and paint over that okay this is something that i wanted to do yeah i need to lay it up it's not perfect but this is what i wanted was to pinky that okay now i have too much light on the forehead i'm not gonna be able to fix that because still this is still wet i mean that's a mistake that i did at the beginning okay what else okay i need to zoom this inside here i'm gonna work with almost no paint you know i don't want to make this sharp but i need to work a little bit on the white of the eye i see a little bit of the white of the eye here no paint kind of transparent okay i think this that's okay but you know that uh if i want to make uh details that's going to be in this eye no this eye obviously this is a little away from us yeah that means that that means that we can just blur this focus this eye the edges all of that not details we need to add a little bit of red always here this is some part of the this area here we need to create a illusion that is transparent okay a little bit of red is gonna help us it's gonna be difficult but anyway we have to try sorry they go scene sorry sorry they're asking me for money okay the last thing that i can do is use a dry brush dry brush it means i use just almost no paint and it's always it's like uh scrambling okay i don't know if you you are familiar with that term it's kind of something similar to glazing but glazing is i mean wet transparent paint and this companies let's say that a brush with almost no paint enough to make a subtle subtle change let me work on the shape off yeah because i didn't get i mean i was trying to get the likeness or really close you know 60 70 percent is okay sometimes when i'm painting an actress i'm really crazy about trying to get the likeness or with not always a little bit of transparency on the eye okay the mouth is okay the nose i think is too reddish but it's okay at the end it doesn't have to be perfect it's just this light it's just too bright but you know that the painting is too wet i can't i cannot work right now i want the acrylic paint dry faster and no that usually happens okay nobody used to finish up this uh do you wanna paint alone with me i have group classes my patreon account we have a class in an hour it's a four hours long pain alone session we're starting an hour we end up in four hours later for me that's gonna be 6 p.m and we end up at 10 pm we have these pain along sessions every tuesday every wednesday and sundays just up to 10 people let's see does those are just like vip groups anyone can join yeah i mean sundays is full but tuesday i have i think three spot three free spots okay the first tools in the world are fingers a hammer yeah that's right dennis money how much do you earn from youtube i'm making a lot no i'm not making a lot i wish yeah i think the upper lip is the lip is too thick here you you like the the video uh please press the like button if that's kind of even i think it's even more important that subscribe to my channel don't subscribe to my channel just press the like button okay i see a sharp edge here i need to soften this it's too dark okay just make this darker a little bit darker okay uh that's one of my neighbor neighbors working on something that's my little dog okay i think this is this light is too bright and at the same time i think i need to add a little bit of light here okay this orange in the nose is kind of i say it even it looks like every time that i see that that spot is getting reddish and reddish and orangey and orangey i'm gonna put some eyelashes a little bit okay um okay okay okay getting to the end oh remember the remember that uh uh usually i i used to sell these paintings in live streams if somebody's interesting just let me know okay that's it i think yeah i see some problem the mouth okay [Music] okay last thing i do is like i said i pick up a brush that is just dry okay this is completely dry uh let's say pick up a little bit of paint okay i think out the excess paint from the brush so i can do this just this i do something like this okay let's say uh i'm using red that would be to add a little bit of pink here just that oh maybe here a little bit [Music] lighter okay it's almost no paint here you can do this to retouch so here is change some color okay foreign now it depends on the tooth of your canvas you know my canvas is really soft really smooth it doesn't have too much tooth but you do that this on the canvas that it has a lot of tools you're gonna see that that's like a small texture which is pretty good it's like uh watching um what you draw on paper that has some tooth is just kind of the same and i mean for me works really good i can do this anywhere like for example to soften this not much paint okay obviously if you continue doing this all over the painting you can make it even really smooth i have seen i remember one of my teachers he used to paint with just a dry brush it was really long process this was layer after layer but it was the resort it was really smooth now right now i think this is too pink here that distracted with this color i'm gonna discrete take up the excess paint almost nothing okay i'm going down still too pink not white and yellow okay let's see if that works almost no paint okay a little bit better yeah because this is reddish and this is greenish both neutralize it has to be transparent okay i don't want this to be green okay does it look too reddish no you can do that everywhere for example this right on the nose kind of i like it but sometimes i see it i feel that it's just too intense and now it looks actually more natural okay [Applause] okay that's it i think that's it i'm done you can go now you can go now what are you doing still here okay that's it thank you so much see you next time is for me it's 5 23 i need at least 20 minutes just to take a rest take a quick nap and be ready for
