- 1 of 3 - Portrait painting tutorial showing glazing oil paint on a portrait painting using the grisaille technique. A real time portrait painting demonstration I filmed in 3 parts over roughly an hour, showing glazes of oil paint, scumbling and velaturas applied to a grisaille underpainting. Velaturas are semi - opaque glazes of oil paint, for me made by mixing colours with Titanium White.
This portrait painting is on oil on board that I prepared using a good quality acrylic primer.
I paint portraits and work to commission using this method, and wanted to share the magical transformation an oil painting undergoes when glazing oil paints over a monotone, or grisaille underpainting. Grisaille can be painted in various colours - browns, greens (called verdaccio) or just plain Ivory Black and Titanium White as used here. I will show some films using verdaccio or Burnt Umber and whites in the future.
See the link to my blog for my experience in learning the grisaille oil painting technique, and various other oil painting methods and inspiration.
With this portrait, before I painted the 1st glaze I brushed on a thin layer of medium and then gently rubbed it down with a cloth, a process called 'oiling out' the surface. This helps the paint slip around more easily. I have found it's important not to leave too much medium on the surface, but enough so that you can apply the paint with a light touch. This is something that takes a bit of practice, but everyone's different so some may like to put more on, some less or not at all. For me its a lot more comfortable to paint oils in this way.
Colours I'm using are Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium red and orange, Indian Yellow, Sap Green, Ultramarine blue, Raw Sienna, Titanium White. I generally use hog brushes here with some finer ones later on. I would probably paint anywhere between 5 and 10 further glazes over the top of the first glaze, once its dry.
For brevity and clarity I am only filming painting the first glaze, as the process is essentially the same; when the paint is dry, oil out the surface and add more glazes. Let dry and repeat! But I will make some short abbreviated films of each glaze in succession with later portrait paintings.
I'm new to painting in glazes (previously I had only done direct painting), and this video is so helpful even though I'm using acrylics instead of oils. Thank you very much for not only doing a real-time step-by-step video, but also for offering your wisdom for free!
Hi there, thanks very much for your comment, I'm sure this technique works as well for acrylics! I'm really glad its been useful
Woah,
Learnt so much just from watching this.
This is by far the best technique I’ve found for both ease AND realism. That said, YOU are some of the best when it comes to results!

Hi thanks so much Wayne yes I love indirect painting. I love the magical transformation into colour from a monotone underpainting
matt harvey art I have been exploring various ways to get the effect you get so effortlessly, except doing my u.p. in acrylic grisaille, but I think I’m just gonna hafta do it in oils and wait for it to dry in order to get close to the smoothness you get. I’ve JUST bought some Harding cremnitz white & am trying it out right now! I had used only titanium & zinc, as that’s cheaper & much more available here, but I love building from transparent to opaque and hope one day to even approach your mastery, my friend! An honor to speak with ya!

Amazing work!To master grisaille is my goal. thanks for the Demo!
Thanks Mike, me too! Its such a rewarding method to use. I hope this film helps a bit.
This techinique is the one I want to learn the most! Thank you so much for showing us the process of painting on the grisaille layers ! I will watch your videos and subscribe to your channel! (and sorry for my English , if I have mistaken some words.)
Thank you I’m really glad you found it helpful. Perfect english!
So kind! Thank you! I am following your posts at Instagram as well! :))))))
💘 Really enjoyed your video! 💖 💖 🌟
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Oh-KAAYYY!!! This is so much BETTER! Having actual commentary on display while doing the tutorial really helps in the understanding of the technique you are trying to communicate here. Thank you so much for this. Please, from now on, make sure that your viewers know this option is available. As for your work, "Of course, it's Awesome!"
OK thank you, yes I will do! Glad they help!!
Great
Did you only glaze the painting or did you at some point paint with opaque colours?
Thank you Matt!
Many thanks for your information. I shall follow your videos.
Wonderful!!
Thanks so much
Your underpainting was exceptional! It was perfect without the colour glazes. :D
Thank you! Yes sometimes I prefer the grisaille!
Thanks for posting the video in real time. Great to share your work. I just subscribed to your channel and hopefully I will be able to hear your voice. Great work.
Hi thanks very much Taylor T.!
GREAT video and BEAUTIFUL work!!! SUBBED!!!
Thanks so much!
This is beautiful, but an accompanying voiceover would be so helpful!
Thanks Gloria, yes sorry there isn't a voiceover here but there are voiceovers on other videos on my channel, showing the same process. Hopefully they are more helpful!
Where are the other 2 tutorials for this portrait, please...???...
Thank you for your video. It would have been wonderful if you had explained what you were using of colour so, brushes and media. This is to help us learn from you. It looks as if you are painting on board, correct? Thank you for sharing
Hi thanks, sorry there isn't a voiceover! There are voiceovers on my other videos, and also some explanation in the description. I will try and add some more subtitles for these ones. It is oil on board, with acrylic primer.
Hello, good video, do you use solvent?
I use linseed oil only
Great tutorial,was your black and white monochrome done initially in acrylics or oils
Thanks, this was done in oils, but it really doesn't matter what you start with. I have done others with acrylic grisaille
I always have questioned the grisaille method, do you feel the coldness of the black and white underpainting influences the final image? If you are painting a portrait wouldn’t you rather have something warmer underneath such as a raw umber or maybe even burnt sienna?
Hi I liked it precisely because of the magical transformation from black and white to colour. But I have also used raw umber. Never burnt sienna though, it would have been too warm to start with, but then I guess you could go the other way from warm to cold!
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!
Hi , do you think i can do the same with acrylics ? (Without medium or water )
You have to use something that will slow the drying otherwise it won't work
If I could draw that well I’d just give people graphite portraits instead of painted.
Don’t like sleepy music.would like to hear what layer you are on and what colors you are using to get the form of the face.
Hi you're right it was awful. I took it away, although its now just my heavy breathing. There are voiceovers on my other videos and information on the descriptions.

Very nice. Perhaps a bit of chat on why and what you're doing would be helpful too.
sobre que tipo de soporte pintas'?
Hi thanks I think you're asking what do I paint on? Wood board with acrylic primer
gracias.
how much time do we need before applying the glaze? or when oil is dry?
Hi yes just wait for the oil paint to dry. I use M. Graham's walnut alkyd medium because it dries in a couple of days. I am also experimenting with acrylic paint for the grisaille layer because it dries so quickly. You can paint oils on top of that. My other timelapse video is oil glaze over acrylic.
intensive breathing....
LIKE< What is even the mixture you are even using to do this method ??????
Please turn on subtitles or watch another video
Looks amazing!!! But the breathing killed me
Thanks and sorry about that, I couldn’t find the right music to cover up the embarrassing breathing. I can’t change it so I’m waiting until google allow me to mute it. I just hoped people would turn the sound down!
omg the breathing. I couldn't watch
why no talking
sound of Breathing like in suspence movie ,, 🤤☝️ 🙄,,, thrilling exciting mission impossible,,👉, 🕵️♀️ directed by 👉 👽
I actually had a prison guard holding a gun to my head as I was doing it
@@mattharveyart your reply make me laugh at night , you are delightful , your work explain to me about you woderfuly ,,, your breathing like process of giving birth , the birth of inspiration , . Best wishes to you ,
Delly Thezar thank you! I’m really glad you like it and sorry again about the breathing
@@mattharveyart your breathing its fine you dont need to feel sorry , i am just made little joke, that life would boring without one, , certainly matt, people must breath, i am an artist too , and i knew what kind of work have strenght , you delicately got one, one who can play classical form he/ she possibly can play anything , this is the most beatiful and responsible form of art, perhaps conservative , but that is the way great art begin, dicipline , its need control therefore breathing could be more intense, haha 👍😁 cheers ,
Delly Thezar well I was mortified to discover it was so loud on the recording! Thanks again
Zo vervelend om enkel te zien en dan nog niets te weten.
so... youre just gonna keep the girls hair monochrome?
Hi Glory Samjolly no I colour it in the second video. Sorry about the breathing just turn the sound down
It seams that pure grey is really bad undercolor, it will allways shine through. Row umber or something like this is bettee
I hear him breathing
I stopped watching 4 minutes in because there is no description of what you are doing. If I’m going to spend 20 minutes watching a video I would like to learn something. Please add a voice over.
Hi thanks for your comments. I can't add a voiceover unfortunately but there are some on my other videos. I will add some subtitles!
Marjolein Caljouw thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I don't think RoxAnne is being rude. Instead, I think she would like to know what is going through the mind of the artist as he is creating.
me 2, its lovely art, but i wanted to see and hear the process.
matt harvey art beautiful work! One question...Can this same method be approached by painting a portrait b&w in acrylic then going over it in oil colors? I lack patience when it comes to waiting on oil paint to dry to move onto the next step. I'd like to be able to go over to the next step immediately in oils if possible?
I cannot even watch this !!! Only all that BREATHING, and NO description at all of what the hay, you are even doing, or using !!! Gross
If you know anything about painting you know what hes doing. Maybe try beginner tutorials melanie.
NO TALK? NO GOOD!!!
please turn subtitles on theres some text there
