Simple painting process that works for almost any subject...
Very beautiful, been a fan for a long time. I'm curious, do you paint everything at once or let the layers dry before starting the next step? You always make it look so easy.
That really helped me i have been struggling thank you :)
Are you using oil paints?
@@gothgirl1711 he's he's using oil paints
@@yarajawher2032 thank you
My brain : yep I got it
My hands : shut up u don’t

Step1 : Outlines
Step2 : Start With The Difficults Things
Step3 : Fill It Out
Step4 : Make the Background
Step5 : Make adjustements
Yes but all of that takes practice

Thanks for the tips
we already new sherlock
@@brendacorrea9390 Maybe some people wanted to know before watching the video to find out, "Sherlock".
I'm 61 and just starting out, I want to be able to paint portraits of my family. You make this appear so simple and straightforward; are there any tips you can give an absolute novice? My main problem with faces is proportion and angle to the light. Don't seem able to get both correct, one of them maybe. but not both.
The easiesg way to start portraits is to drop an image into an online image editor and use colorize mode to reduce the image to color shapes. I purchased an opaque projector to put images on canvas
I'm not a painter so I can't really help you out, but I just came here to say that I think what you're doing is great and very sweet. I hope it goes well!❤️
You can use a method called squaring up which helps to position things and proportions
Not sure if you still need advice or will even receive this message but "The Loomis method" is very good at helping with proportions and different angles.
@@septimus64 what image editor and what is colorize mode? thanks!
step 2: start with the difficult bits
me, panicking: b-but it is ALL difficult!
Does the order change with water colours?
May you make a video about how to mix skin tone and how to get the tone
Personally I go on instagram and add the reference photo in the story edit (without posting) and use the drop tool (in the bottom left) to copy a couple colors and create my color palette. Sometimes what makes it difficult is the gradient and blend between colors.
@@meganhowe7168 that's genius! I can't believe I have never thought of something so obvious and simple, Thank you!!!
@@meganhowe7168 ooh good idea...!
Plsssa do

For making a caucasian skin tone:
Red+yellow
Add a tiny bit of blue to neutralize it
Add white until you get the desired tone
Idk how to make darker skin tones, but I hope this helped some of yall lol
Kirb .o Colors that are complimentary should create the color brown. Yellow and purple, blue and orange, and green and red.
You want to use richer colors like blue since it’s a cooler color, you can use it to make the color brown look darker. But make sure it’s the desired color you want.
Maybe to make darker tones you simply don’t add white or much white..
Kirb .o wow this actually helped a lot tsym
Dark skin you can use blue, orange, white, black, and some red
Darker skin tones = orange and blue. The darker you make it, the more blue u should add.
I have subscribed/followed your art and channel for years now and you never cease to amaze me! Thank you very much for all that you show and teach, and all that you do for us fellow artists, such as myself, or even those who are not but just love the flow of things…..please just know you are a gift to this community as well as to the world! Blessings to you young man🙏🏽
I am a beginner with painting acrylic art, and I absolutely love when google takes me to one of your tutorials for a specific technique. Thank you for your hard work and knowledge!
Drawing nose is the most difficult to me.. The proportion, shading, its need more effort than other face part
And it's the one part that once you butcher, the whole face would be butchered as well.
I’m the opposite, noses are the easiest for me but eyes and lips are the most difficult for me!
I struggle most with the lips
ALRB❤ yeah that’s so true before i would be darwing a weird nose and all the rest of the face would turn out weird as well but then as i started to watch videos on how to draw and started actually learning to draw it now the whole face seems way better and everything seems in its place
aldino prakasa just try to watch videos and practice drawing it a lot and you’ll get way better by time i always doodle parts of the face that i’m not so good at when i’m bored so i got better without even realizing and as i got to be good at every part of the face now i can draw a face with good proportions
You forgot #6: Mad skills
The mad skills come from a lot of practice. Nobody is born skilled.
Giorgia i mean some people do be born skilled doe
@@giopyui there's a difference between skill and talent. most millenials who have been taught that everybody can become whatever they want and we are all alike,,,,can't tell the difference between skill and talent.
@@hmax1591 Idk what you're trying to get at here but talent doesn't really exist, every artist will tell you that it's just a lot of practice, studying, looking at the art you most enjoy, etc.
Nobody is born skilled and yes, everybody can learn how to draw or paint.
@@nina-li1yv Sure, there are really talented people. But it all takes practice. Even talented people work hard.
Why did I take só many years of trying at looking everywhere, bumped into the most complicated elaborated fórmulas for portrait painting before I arrived at this MOST simple answer ???
THANK YOU for your time ❤❤
Him: *casually switches colors in a split second*
Me: *has to stand up, go to the sink, and wash the brush thoroughly before finally dipping the brush in a different color.*
😂🖐🏻yup😭
bucket with water and towel ?
😂🖐🏼yup😭
lol if you are using oils then water has no effect if you want your brushes clearly clean and a perfect painting,try using turpentine oil instead
The way you paint is like a magic. Can you share more videos on how you put colours and make it look realistic and this beautiful?
I can't even draw a realistic face, why am I here

"I decided to do something quick and simple"
3:53 my mind was blown on how that nose just popped out of the painting!
Stunning work mate!

lmaoo
DUDE HAHAHA
funny
Best advice ever, especially the last one. I never feel that I’m done. There’s always ONE more thing to do. Your suggestion that if “another brush stroke doesn’t enhance, but just makes a change, then it’s probably time to stop” (paraphrased) will be my new mantra.
You were spot on. Your tip made a huge difference. Until I tried your method I was saving eyes, nose and mouth till the end which caused me to paint them in a very loose impressionistic manner. This lead to I could only paint males up until I tried your idea. I drew a quick sketch of a gal on a small canvas pad and within one hour I completed a wonderfully done female image that had all the soft features I had not been able to pull off prior to the change.
Thanks a ton....
Mike
Love how you simplify the theories, makes me feel much less overwhelmed starting new pieces ♡

HEY SISTERS!!!
Fatrick Stare FLASHBACK MARY NOOO
Fatrick Stare AHHHH
BRILLIANT!!! Thank you for this video! I’ve recently started painting again (I tattoo for a living) and this is probably the most informative video I’ve seen to get me back into my flow.
You just described exactly-what took me 20 years to learn.. your paintings are bright and fresh. I love that about them!
Brilliant content once again Alpay, I appreciate all this free content its amazing. While it’s still coming can you maybe do a video of your palette? how you mix your colours and keep them so clean and mudless.
Love the freshness of your color combinations! Lovely!
This lesson is like a love letter,guides the students so
softly ,reflets his
true dedication while explainingabout the technical
finenesses.Thanks a lot .
I used to be such a great artist and fell off for years. I am getting back into it.... Thank you so much for fast forwarding what may have taken me a long time to re learn!!!
This was great. I've been struggling with black and white underpaintings (portraiture is not my comfort zone) but this feels much more intuitive. Also I love what you do with deconstruction!
It's refreshing to watch you painting oh my this so beautiful .. thanks for sharing your art and knowledge with us
I painted my first portrait with this tutorial and it actually turned out really good. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. When I paint a portrait in graphite, I like to do the eyes, nose and mouth first so I can see the likeness in those areas in great detail and the person in the portrait begins to pop out in 3-D. Now that I want to paint portraits in oils, I see that most tutorials don't do that, and the chaos in the early stages makes me uncomfortable. Sooooo a thousand thank you's for showing me I can paint an area and almost finish it as I go along, to tweak it later. What a relief!
whenever you roll the background it gives me huge anxiety but I love it
Your accent is sooo lovely, I could listen to you talking for the whole day +art and teaching skills 👌🏼
You have the exact philosophy on making art that I finally have now at 28 after quitting art 10 years ago because of my horrendous imposter syndrome. I wish I had found these videos back then, but I’m happy to have them now. 💕
Painting complex areas first makes perfect sense seeing as you're energy and focus are sharp in the beginning and can take a small break being loose while filling out bigger areas
I agree with each step! Very well said! 👌👌👌
Thanks so much for articulating the process extremely well!
Never tire of your work, instruction, you're a gem and a joy to watch.
Love the eyes, specifically the white of the eye. Looks like glossy effect. Really cool
subtle but varied palette..i love your portrait painting! thank you.
blessings
Anyone can gain talent in art if they’re willing to put their mind into it and is willing to understand the concept. Thank you!! 😀
Amazing! Love how you drew her. The colours and blending look so realistic!
All the videos i have watched have all diff techniques but they all make sense. I love how this is broken down into steps. The technique used is what works best for the artist. ❤️❤️
"painting face in 5 steps"
Weelchair users: ight imma head out
Nice one
Bruh 😭😭😭
ight imma roll out*
HAHAHAHAHAHA
This is amazing
my brain: I got it
my skills: why the fvck u lyin?
Copied
Ive seriously enjoyed watching through a bunch of your videos recently - it's definitely inspired me to face my fears and have a go at working with oils!
You are amazing!!!
Honestly just by watching your videos my faces have looked better! Just have to keep painting and hopefully mine will eventually look as good as yours! Thanks for your videos!!!
The face is the mirror of the mind, the eyes of people reflect the desires of their heart... I guess life is a reflection of what we allow ourselves to see... eyes are very similar to paintings in that regard, if you can say it in words there's no need to paint it... eyes often times say more then words can...
PS: Alpay... your voice is just the perfect radio voice. Hearing your voice itself is already pretty cool.
Ha, thanks :)
Watching you paint all the skin tones was soooo satisfying. I’m trying to figure out how to do that myself. You made it look so easy. Unfortunately the medium I work with doesn’t blend well. If you blend it too much with too many colors it will look muddy, I have to find a way to see where my painting is going in layers instead of being able to blend everything at once. I work in nails with gel polish that needs to be cured. I’ve painted faces but I want to learn how to paint more realistically.
I enjoyed this tutorial a lot. Thank you! I struggle with knowing when to blend and when not to, and listening to you say "loose but convincing" gave me direction!
subscribed.
Well done.
Great pace, great pronunciations.
no nonsensical, "i will go ahead and paint this.."
no silly unrelated story.
One of the best TUTORIALS on youtube.
It's beautiful. I am only at the drawing phase. I seem to screw up when painting
Kooky Vidz. I'm at the drawing phase too, but I keep hacking away with some cheap paints just for practice. I think practice is the key here. You'll get better the more you do it.
Kooky Vidz honestly im the opposite. idk why and how i just am

I have the hardest time painting the background last 😩. Love your work
This is one of my favorite tutorials ever❣️ Thank you 🙏🏽 such great instruction and what a beautiful style you have of rendering and color 💖💕✨
The color mixing in the background is unreal! Such great work!
Yea I’m going to experiment with oil paint soon. I love how smooth the application is, unlike acrylic paint
I can't afford oil paint. Do you know any cheap paint brands? ☺
@@ohwow6640 just buy 5 colors you can pretty much make any color with them
Titanium white cadmium yellow cadmium red ultramarine blue and burnt umber
@@royaa2008 Thank you so much! 😊
I am in love with your artwork, your skills are amazing. That is talent.
anita toth 🖤
Love this. Using unexpected colors. The nose actually pops from the page!💙
love all the different colours you used
How much time do you usually spend on a portrait painting?
Amazing work! I love your videos
this is outstanding. I am inspired by your skill.
Wow...You made it look so simple and your commentary was specific, short and to the point even with adding in the personal discretions you use to bring everything full circle, Bravo good job
Really great tips. And beautiful artwork, just amazing work. I’m so inspired. I’m in the process of setting up my loft studio / music room / library. Can’t wait to start painting again. I’m a chalk pastel artist but I’ve been flirting with oils lately and I’m very driven to see what I can do.
What you said are exactly opposite to what my teacher told me. She always asks us to paint the background first, block colours， then move to details. But to be frank, i like your way better. Blocking colour without outlines is extremely difficult as i always forget the actual layout and eventually end up with a distorted painting. Anyways, thanks for sharing a new way of painting。
Same! I can't find my way through color blocking. But outlines and this method in the video gets me through. I also found other skilled painters do paint this way and the results are as great as those who color block.
Easier to say it by mouth..
My mind: let's do it.
My hands: am I a joke to you
Extraordinary portrait! Thank you for sharing such awesome process!
You are amazing. I was mesmerized and intrigued as I watched you paint. Step by step waiting woth excitement to see it all come together. Your use of so many colors that brought more character and depth to it was perfect. I am just beginning to learn how to paint portraits and was inspired to try. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent. 😊
It looks scary at first then became so beautiful in a blink of an eye
:0 this was beautiful! Just wondering, how long did this painting take?
Excellent tutorial. I'm doing my first portrait from today. I've pencilled the sketch, understand my concept look. Just needed a direction on how to start, middle and end. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this. I am a novice and as such have watched many tutorials. I just was mesmorized by this and enjoyed it entirely. Your voice is so smooth and continuously in sync with what you are doing on the paper. It was very helpful and informative and you gave an example of an opitional style.
I feel like crying because I feel like I'll never be able to do this. I'm gonna try painting a face today, wish me luck!
What happened?!
@@Abc-xm8pb Oui oui
Step 1: Outlines
Step 2: Start with difficult things
Step 3: Fill it out
Step 4: Make the Background

Valuable information yet simple to understand and entertaining ! Love this 👍
I'm just starting to oil paint, and watching all of your videos for advice. this one was great!
1:45 your face in the morning when you wake up after 3 hours sleep
pls i died laughing at this
Hey man just wanted to give you a heads up if you didn't already know, Corridor Crew seems to have used this video in their "VFX Artists React to Bad & Great CGi 13" at 9:42. I couldn't find anything that would credit you so I just wanted to let you know.
thanks for letting me know... they have good taste ;)
Snitch
You're an amazing artist! Thanks for being so generous in sharing your technique. :)
In awe! What a beautiful painting! So talented 👏
He forgot actual step 1: BE TALENTED
Soph Arts no, i would have to disagree
Soph Arts painting isn’t about talent, it’s about skill. Skill takes practice. Anyone can become a good painter, all it takes it practice :)
This is one of those things where talent isn't necessary. Time put in is the biggest factor. Everyone you think has more talent than you has probably literally hundreds of hours of more practice
Nah step 1. Have paint
sophthefrog hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard
how long does it take you to complete a painting and what paints do you use for portraits
would it be ok to use acrylics?
Thank you! This was very helpful, and your painting is so beautiful!
Awsome straight to the point demo. Thank you. Good bloke you 👍
U deserve more view and subs
JWC I agree ;)
"I decided to keep things quick and simple"
Me: is that simple? *Proceeds to cry*
Quick question...is he using acrylics or oil paint...
This is great! Thanks for making it look so easy!
Beautiful portrait... thank you for sharing. I wS intrigued how you added splash of green background paint to hair! As I tell my Granddaughter... your painting your rules!
but the problem is i cant sketch.
No one:
Me when he painted the bagrouynd and spoiled her hair 🤯
Was hoping he would fix it by the end of the video :'(
Thank you for this fantastic, genius-simple explanation. Great work
I absolutely love your videos! Your work is amazing.
Lovely work and tutorial. However, I'd love to have seen what you did with the paint of the background that went all over her hair.
He leaves it like that. It's his signature.
I know a lot of artist who do that I guess that’s their style
The colour you use in painting this is watercolor are poster color plz tell me
Acrylic paint
Very inspiring! Thank you for posting this!
you are a life saver 🙏 I am trying to paint a portrait for a family member for their birthday and after 18 attempts, my 19th try was much more successful thanks to your tips and watching you work. thank yooou ❤
Me:sees vid
My brain:oh boy its that time of the year .I tink she needs to paint
My hands:o no she doesent last time she forced us to paint like a 2year old child and she cried a week straight
I struggle with the face and hair. I can paint backgrounds all day.
Your paintings are stunningly beautiful.
Wow! I absolutely love your work. I’m so jealous 😂🤓🤩❤️💜🙏🏻👏🏻 I’m blown away at your color work and skin coloring.
