Hi I'm Matt, a portrait painter, sculptor and artist based in the UK.
My goal is to provide the skills and understanding and enable anyone to paint accomplished portrait paintings using traditional techniques. My videos show how to paint portraits in the manner of the master painters of the past. Its like watching a real demonstration in the studio.
From spring 2024 I have recommenced these videos after a pause due to other work commitments. If you enjoy this channel you can now support me to continue creating this content by subscribing to my patreon.
I love painting and particularly the magic of glazing oil colour, it brings me such joy which I hope to communicate with others. I hope it inspires your painting journey. Thanks for watching!

Can you use linseed oil for the first medium bit?
Yes
amazing!
Thanks Patricio it was your encouragement that made me decide to start making videos again
Thanks for sharing. Hope you keep going on this painting and share the video 😊.
Thank you I will 😊

Coming soon
This is an amazing video 🤩
Thank you 🙏
Ty Matt
No worries
Hey its me from the garage. I liked all your videos, subbed and denotified for that algorithm! You've inspired me to get off my ass and post for my channel again. Been working more of late to keep that wolf from the door..
Love your videos! I’ve been learning to oil paint and you’ve helped me with glazing IMMENSELY- may I ask what medium you use?? I feel like my first layers have too much linseed oil and I’m concerned about having to use A LOT in the glazes to prevent cracking 😅
Hi thanks I’m so glad they have helped! At the moment I use water mixable linseed oil with some walnut alkyd to speed drying, linseed 12 parts - alkyd 1 part roughly. I don’t use any mineral spirits so this medium is ‘fat’ all the way through from first layer to last and won’t crack. I don’t think you have to worry if it’s linseed on top of linseed. It’s when you use thinner layers of mineral spirits on top of linseed that you need to worry. You don’t need to add more linseed as you build layers just keep it the same. That works for me
hey Matt great stuff..just wondering about the use of opaque colors for glazing, cad red, etc...others have told me not to use them, but they seem to be fine here, am i missing something? thx
Hi Dan thanks I don’t know it depends what you define as glazing and for some that might mean only using transparent colours. You could say I’m using so called velaturas which are thin layers, that for simplicity I call glazes, with white or opaque colours added. But it’s all about definition and different interpretations of oil painting techniques. I just try to find something that works in a given painting and don’t like being bound by rules which sometimes feel dogmatic to me. An academic painter encouraged me to use cad red in glazes. In short you can see here that it works fine. Cheers, matt
@@mattharveyart thx so much for taking the time to answer my question so so helpful
Gladful work
Gladfully
Excellent work
Thanks for watching 🙏
Thanks Matt
Thanks for watching no worries
Really enjoyed your video, so glad I have stumbled upon it, we need more.🙂 thank you❤
Hi thanks so much I’m so happy you enjoyed it ❤️
Не удивительно, что раньше люди всю свою жизнь тратили на скульптуры и дворцы, которые мы сегодня считаем чудом
Thank you yes I could easily spend my life doing this
Пару годиков в пабг и о таких нервах можешь забыть)
I didn't read the caption whilst watching this and I squinted my eyes and thought: "That kinda looks like a torso." Lo and behold, it is, in fact, a torso. 😂😂 I'd love to see the finished project!
Ha ha thanks it’s on mattharveyart.com/sculpture
You don’t need to apologize for the time, the method etc. glazing is a process best understood in real time. Good job!
Thank you yes I agree
Very interesting. We want more.❤❤❤
Thank you more on the way ❤️
Looks amazing, can't wait to see more of these :)
Thanks so much 🙏🙏
Looks great Matt, looking forward to watching
Thanks Kate ❤️❤️
Beautiful glazing and painting. The original video helped me so much! The music cuts halfway through by the way in case you didn't know :)
Ha ha thanks I don’t really know about these things. I didn’t even know there was music on there! I’m so happy it helped.
Matt, I have a question.do you use burnt umber as your black? I found blacks on my portraits don't work at all.makes them cartoonish.I use burnt umber with Crimson or crimson and gree. Or blue and crimsons.blacks are a big no with me.maybe I am doing it wrong?
Hi Patricio I find working with blacks difficult but they work well as underpainting or even in glazes for shadows in hair. You could try mixing them with crimson as I was advised by an academic painter. This definitely deepens their effect. Burnt umber with a ultramarine blue makes a nice deep black . It all depends on context. I think blacks showing through further glazes are very beautiful. I like ivory black personally and I don’t use others. I don’t know how to post an image here but I’ve got one showing this glazing and will put it in my Instagram @mattharveyart
@mattharveyart ok I want to learn glazing, I am not very impressed or fan of a la prima.i think Verdaccio or grisaille make paintings amazing.
Best channel.you should post more.do you have courses or a patreon?😊
Thanks so much, you inspired me to open my patreon and start making videos again. I simply didn’t have time before, not being paid and having to work elsewhere. But I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I have some good content on the way.
@mattharveyart let me know.for some reason your youtube has mo subscribe option.
Hi. Matt.I have a question.I've heard some painters saying the glazing is only for the shadows, and opaque for the lights. What is your view on this topic?
Hi thanks for asking. I use glazes of half pastes for the lights as they brighten lights in the same way darker glazes deepen shadows. Im very sceptical about anyone talking of ‘rules’ in art or painting, there are no rules, only painting, so I don’t like it when people say these kinds of statements. Picasso said you can’t teach technique. What does that mean? I think it means we all have our own unique sensibilities and we can express them more fully when we are not bound by rules. My half pastes (colour mixed with white) can be more or less opaque depending on the painting I’m doing. I really like the way I can brighten lights by going over them with glazes of half pastes, up to pure white if necessary, even to 100% opacity sometimes. It all depends on the needs of a particular painting
@@mattharveyart agreed you do what fits your art
Hello, good video, do you use solvent?
I use linseed oil only
May be the similar way of thinking, seeing,but for me,folowing the way of keeping drawing with colour and shaping everything in silence is delightfull. Thank You and a blessing !
Thank you
I really like it unfinished.
Thank you yes me too. sorry for the late reply
are you using transparent colors to paint over the grisaille?
Hi I started using transparent colours then began mixing half pastes with white. You can see this with me talking on my other videos. Happy painting!
Hard to say, but that "pancake painting" has nothing to do with Caravaggio...
Thanks yes I know it needs improvement. It would be great if you could post a video showing how it’s done, I was just trying to work it out.
Great
How did you make the initial glaze all over the sirface to not look smooth but to have lines showing the movement of the brush? Is it just oil paint with turpentine or oil paint+medium+turpentine?
That’s just an acrylic wash in burnt umber with a household brush
🇦🇱🇹🇷🎨🖌️🖤🙏
why no talking
Are you still making art video's? I noticed that the last video's are over three years ago!
I’ve started making videos again 🙏
If I could draw that well I’d just give people graphite portraits instead of painted.
Where are the other 2 tutorials for this portrait, please...???...
