The Best Art Mediums to Create Mixed Media Portraits Even if You Can't Draw, We Can Show You How!
Awesome already 😮
So sweet! Thank you 🥰
I was gonna say.. get a sheet of carbon paper..
I use this with kids for school, it's more accessable because they usually have pastels in their classrooms.
yes
Here you go! www.brandihofer.ca/large-scale-portrait-class-free/?
You can also buy carbon paper for tracing. Carbon paper can be used many, many times.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Marvelous ⭐️
Thank you so much! Stay tuned for Part 2. I'm editing it right now!!
Really like the technique thank you for sharing it! I just want to make sure… it’s soft pastel that you are using ?
It is oil pastel 🥰 let me know if you have any more questions!
Just curious, Brandi , but are you saying not to use graphite because it doesn’t blend well is there any way you can elaborate on this?
Of course! With our Portrait method we mix a ton of medium: acrylics, watercolour, coloured pencil, pastels, etc. Graphite smudges into every one of them and or resists the application of them overtop when working on paper in this way. With our method we have refined the ability to combine a harmonious combination of all of them. Let me know if you have any other questions. 🥰
Love!
Thanks so much for this instruction! I was using graphite to do the image transfer, not realizing how well colored pastels would transfer. Your shading tips really helped me. thank you!!
Yes, it's such a great trick! Graphite I really like to avoid because it doesn't mix well with other mediums it smears and or resists. Let me know if you have any other questions, happy to help anytime!
Wowee, Brandi! Shocking that your work disappeared AND that you & Teddy were the Dynamic Duo fixing Her up! Love how She morphed. Way to go, Sister-Artist!!!
Super CRAZY! But it worked out in the end and it was a fun adventure! Love you friend! xo
@BrandiHoferStudios Love YOU, Sweetie! Sure wish I had your video chops. I would share all sorts of reels about our community collaborations but just have NO CHOPS for it ( yet??)! You are an inspiration always!!
@@carolynking5418 Life is short, do what you want to do!! You have them I know it! Check out Catherine Rains and her channel, she does simple collage stuff and people love it!
is it soft (chalk) pastel, or oil pastel?
It is oil pastel 🥰
is this oil or wax pastel? also can you use fixative when it is complete? love this process so far
The drawing of the woman's face is very good. The watercolors also have an intersting look. I am certainly interested in what the final piece will look like. With that said, I think the video could be just a bit shorter and the script edited down to highlight your main points. The shot itself shoild keep the piece in some constant reference frame and you could show additions as you make them edited to fit the script.
If you put some of the flower behind her neck would look more interesting
Flowers look great
Thank you!
In opinion i say with flower. 🌼 Edit: your art is beautiful 😍
So you're just tracing a photo? Lol Artist is such a meaningless word nowadays
That art is still art because it took time and effort, Also the colours.
Tbh befer is right
There is a lot more to it than that. Artists like DaVinci used a form of projection. It's a time saving trick. We are here to empower creatives. Paint a Portrait on a 30 ft exterior wall, then get back to me with constructive commentary.
Бумага не так уж дорого стоит. Купил бы уж чистый листок...
This is actually awesome 😔💖
Thank you!
DAM THIS IS REALLY UNDERRATED WHYYYY
You're so sweet!
@@BrandiHoferStudios ofcc but this needs to be viral ASAPP
nice
thanks!
Ive done this since kindergarden
You can also do it with graphite or even crayons on the back. I used to do this as a kid. 😊
Good idea considering everyone struggles with zendaya
I highly recommend doing this trick but only if you want to do some fast art, not to learining, to improve the process of makin propotions you need to actually make the propotions by yourself and practise.
It's called tracing, I like doing it with light graphite for watercolor
I love the photograph of the woman
yes she is gorgeous!
It is the actress and model Zendaya.
The watercolor looks as if there is a woman posing . Art before the image .
Omg i will be doing this, thank you
Yes! Can't wait to see what you create!! Have fun!
That's how i always started my portraits to get the proportions right ESPECIALLY for scratchboard
such a fun way to learn right?!
Like carbon paper but cheaper!
Nice channel with fantastic video content but lacks SEO optimization.
Yes
TAY
Hi I’m a painting artist too! :) If I want to start to share videos of my artwork for CZcams or TikTok like yourself are we making any good investments yet money wise? Are you growing?
Dear Brandi, i am very interested in your course . I have one question: is it possible to transfer the image on a bigger paper piece then what you showed in the video? ❤❤❤
Of course! There are a few different ways of doing it... print larger, or splice your photos and print it in segments, we also go onto using a projector in our Large-Scale Portrait Class. Let me know if you have questions, I am happy to chat anytime! xo
@@BrandiHoferStudios yes, i saw the other one ( large) and asked myself if it is the same method as here..cause i really want to learn this method, but paint the portraits on bigger pieces. So, which course do you recommend me to take?
@@i.mo_goldenart I recommend both, they have a ton of useful info that you will take into all methods of your practice. I made you a coupon for $25 off if you want to take both?
@@BrandiHoferStudios thank you for your answer! i will try your course for sure
@@i.mo_goldenart email me if you'd like the code art@brandihofer.ca 🥰
I've been working with pencil crayons, and while more expensive pencil crayons do help, a friend of mine can do insane levels of blending with the crappy ones from school. Generally, invest in top quality paper.
Thank you for sharing! I think in most cases it helps, you can really see the difference in acrylic paints especially!
It looks better before the cat woman nonsense, IMPO
Nope
Sorry but yes crayola vs a $60 crayon are different breeds not meant for comparison.
Tyler Joseph in the first few seconds
🥺 the background
That’s insane dude. Like that is actually crazy
Not really, but it depends what you want to create
nah I draw with whatever I find bro
Yes because Poscas are expensive Af
Sometimes, im a graffitti artist and more expensive cans from better brands can make ur job easier
For sure! No doubt better quality spray paint so you have to do less coats saves a ton of TIME!
Is possible to add acrylic on top off all this? Or the sketch?
It is! Just not on top of the oil pastels. I have one student who loves to do all the hair in acrylics. Hope that helps! happy to help or chat anytime!
Wow! Beautiful painting!🩷
Thank you so much!
WHO CARES????
I DO ITS AMAZING
