- Think you can't start with the details? I'm going to show you that you can! There are lots of starting methods when it comes to portrait painting, but never does anyone say let's jump into some details. It's usually more like block -in and line drawings are the way to start. And for some they work great, but for me it was just pure torture! I wanna jump in. I wanna go for the juicy parts. I wanna paint it correctly from the start. Richard Schmid does it. Tina Garrett does it. So why not you?

I am so glad I found you/ your site!!! THANK YOU!!!
You are so welcome! Thank you for letting me know 🙏🏻🎨
Absolutely beautiful ❤thank you
Thank you! 😊🙏🏻🎨
U r great artist ❤
Thank you 🙏🏻😊
Hi there! For this painting, are you applying paint to your canvas straight from the tube? Or adding and mixing with walnut oil? I'm a beginner trying to get back into oil paints w/o using solvents. I know from previous videos you paint with walnut oil. In this video, I can't tell if you're using it. Thanks so much! Maybe once I feel comfortable with oil paints again I can try this selective start method. It seems challenging, but I like the idea of starting immediately.
Hi Jennifer. I used only oil paint straight from the tube. No walnut oil. No solvent. With professional grade oil paint it’s easy to work with directly from tube. They feel creamy and are perfect to work with. Hope you try it sometime! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻. 🎨👩🏼🎨
Love this video, Shelly! Went to Google to check Richard Schmid's Selective and his technique of "Start method". Learned a lot. Do you finish the painting in one layer or more? Thank you!
Hi Jenna. I complete the entire portrait in about 8 hrs. I will typically paint the face in one sitting then tweak the features as needed after that. I love painting the face this way! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻🎨👩🏼🎨
I have only painted like this with good results.
That’s great to know. Thanks for sharing 😀
@@ShellyJCoxArtist good to know that we are not the only people doing this. As your video pointed out.
@@parthsavyasachi9348 yes! So true. I believe we are in very good company 👩🏼🎨
I think this way is more effective at least for me to catch subtle variations in colours that maybe I do not look at all when blocking. It's like blocking paint areas really blocks your mind haha. These subtle variations make a huge difference in the tridimensional sense even if not going for hyperrealism
Hi Diego! Beautifully said. Do you paint this way too?
@@ShellyJCoxArtist I am studying several ways, really just starting out with oil paiting. There is something about this approach that mentally gives me a very sharp mind to see details. My mental eye is very messy and this focus it so I will explore more of it.
@@diegoallcore awesome. I’m glad to hear it. Thanks so much for watching. 🙏🏻 Let me know if there are any topics you’d like me to cover. Happy painting 👩🏼🎨🎨
@@ShellyJCoxArtist Thanks so much. I am trying to portrait a man with a 3/4 position in the middle of the ocean. I was using ivory black with a lot of titanium white to highlight a blueish skin tone with the environmental light. It results awful haha. Maybe I can use a little information on how to properly mix skin tones with environmental hues as in open water without getting a cartoonish look. Thank a lot!
@@diegoallcore try mixing the black with a light blue … ie Kings Blue or similar… not white. If you need a warmer mix try a light purple-ish color instead of white. 😀
The Proportion might be the issue in painting directly sometimes just my thoughts
Anyways Nice Painting tho Godbless
Hi Zhejie. Yes it can. The proportion tool helps a lot with this … keeps features in check. Plus you are constantly checking via comparison too! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👩🏼🎨
To each his own, but it would drive me utterly insane to paint everything with such a small brush.
Hi. Yes I get that. But this is a small canvas so the details of features like eyes require a small brush. I much prefer to work large when I can. Happy painting 🎨👩🏼🎨
Recently I had painted my first, slightly oversized, portrait in oil. I usually paint with acrylics so was a complete beginner and went through multiple books and video tutorials to understand oil paint a bit better. I started with an underpainting and then added my flesh colours. You are so right about the opalescent quality of paint! It felt like a mosaic of differently hued bits of flesh! I loved it.
Anyways, it took me a long time to finish the painting, letting it dry for a week before starting a new session. (I had to paint from a photograph) I find your approach intriguing, but am wondering if you needed drying time inbetween and how long were those times, if yes, please. Also you said you were adding more shadow to carve out the features, same question, did you have drying time before you went deeper in value? Thank you for this video and possibly an answer😊🌺
Hi Poppy. This portrait was painted straight through alla prima style. I worked wet into wet for about 8 hours day one. The next day still working wet into wet, I refined some of the details. Any shadows were also painted wet into wet using a paint color in the correct value. When laying down paint into wet paint, I use a soft brush and a light touch. The hairs if the brush are parallel to the canvas. Hope this helps! 🎨👩🏼🎨🙏🏻
I HATE "blocking in" - putting so much paint down, knowing that I'm going to paint over it. Selective Start works so well for my brain. Thank you for sharing!
I totally get what you’re saying. I think that’s why I love it so much too😀👩🏼🎨
Lucien Freud also painted like this…
I did not know this. Thanks for sharing. I’ve always found Freud interesting. 🎨👩🏼🎨🌼
Why do you use Richard Schmid as an intentional misleading drawcard - is it because you know he is immensely popular and you are .........well let's say taking his credit is easier than earning it
No this is not at all why… my first mentor Tina Garrett taught me to paint in this manner which she learned directly from RS. I use his name so that he gets credit for this method of painting. It’s no different than saying you’re painting in the style of Rembrandt or Sargent. Also I want people to know they can learn more about this method through RS’s books.
