Oil Portrait Painting Techniques And Tips |
Having the ability to capture the likeness of a human on
canvas, using paint, is a requested achievement for many new
painters. By practicing, you'll soon be
portraits painting like
the experts.
If at all possible I highly counsel you paint your portraits
employing a live model versus a picture. There's simply no
substitution for painting from life.
Painting a successful portrait is all about how you study the
subject. Observe the bone structure and try and see shapes and
planes. Don't try and paint each small detail precisely as you
see it. For a newbie, it is best to begin with a lighting effect
where light and shadow are in high contrast. This can make for a
much simpler painting.
Finish each section before heading off to the next. Keep the
darks of your oil portrait
painting at a thin consistency while your lights
should be painted on thickly. I know I did when I initially
began painting. Remember that skin comes in a selection of
colors & textures, so there's no precise formula for mixing
flesh tones in portrait painting. You'll have to experiment and
practice, till you find the right color mixtures for any special
subject. When mixing your colors watch out not to over mix,
which can deaden a color. Try and repeat the colors and values
in your painting to form balance.
When painting hair, don't try and paint each individual strand
of hair.
Glance at the hair as one object and then paint the lights and
darks. Paint the hair in the direction of the form of the head.
The muzzle area of the face (the space between the nose and
mouth) is normally a similar color as the flesh but cooler. When
painting for the backgrounds, don't make them too detailed or
busy. If you do, you'll draw focus away from your
portrait oil painting. Add
bits of color where the shade meets the light in your portraits.
Fleshier parts of the face are sometimes warm and bonier parts
of the face, like the jaw as an example, are usually cool in
color. To get a correct color for the white in the eye you can
take the subject's basic flesh color.¡¡ |
