Absolutely brilliant
I would love to see your paint palette while you work!
Excellent video, ignore the previous ‘Face is too long’ comment!
Thanks a lot to share this complete video tutorial! Thank you from Italy!
Ohhh so glad to find you on here 🎉❤🎉❤ thanks I just fixed a stressful painting
It looks like a different person, but I love it! I don’t know why! But it has as deepfreak.
Do you use solvent or medium for the first layer ? I am planing to start oil painting…but affraid of solvent and toxic stuff…
I would love to know how many attempts Chelsea chucked away or painted over before she attained her present level of skill!
What does ‘oiling out’ mean?
Thank you. I really appreciate your tips and way of relating to your audience. I am working on a portrait of my daughter whom I lost in 2023. An up and down experience but she is slowly emerging on the canvas.
there are a lot of greenish tones verses red tones on that reference so what do you do then, add viridian touch to the skin tone to get those cooler shadows in?
Thanks for your instructions and art. It’s beautiful! 😍
Hello – Any advice on combining Win-gel, linseed oil and/or Liquin as media? How much artists’ turps? Thank you.
Otstoi..
You’re a master these daystoo
What’s the name of the painting?
Do THIS to avoid clickbait: Don’t watch the video!
You cut off her left jaw. Don’t you see that!
I give you my warmest congratulations for your skill. I don’t understand if you painted this picture "alla prima" or in several sittings, when the underlying layer is already there
dried. Unfortunately I don’t understand English very well and I couldn’t translate what you explained.
Great painting and explanation.
One question: What do you mean (in your work) by expressive brushstrokes? You are doing a lot of blending, where brushstrokes are being painted over by other brush strokes, the original brushstrokes are then lost. I do not understand what you mean. Can you explain this some more? Thanks
Thanks
Are you going from dark to light I am trying to understand how you know what shape to add next?
Thanks for the lesson.
I think it is lovely and you are sounding very happy while doing it.
This is crazy, and love just how she’s always ahead of her game. I’ve learned so much. Can’t wait to start painting again.
I would love to know how to avoid the chalky look in flesh tones. some painters have such luminous pearl like flesh but when i try it, its all chalk!!!
Great work, great video. My question pertains to measurements in general; you don’t use a grid or proportional divider or even really lay down the typical lines to mark the location of features; is that because you don’t need to based on experience or because they would detract from the fluidity of your technique or what? Thanks very much for sharing this. I love portraits but got hung up on one that has been sitting half done for 2 years or more now. The subjects face is so smooth and there is no contrast in the lighting and I just went crazy correcting and correcting …
Where’s the Soul in this?
The bottom of eyes are more closed
Great teaching style
I didn’t see the link to how you use FB to assess the accuracy of your drawing. Thanks
Im in a painting 1 class in college right now that is half painting half color theory and for our final that I’m doing right now I’ve got to copy a masters painting as closely as livingly possible. Seeing videos like these definitely helps with my process a lot so I appreciate it
The main issue that I’m running into right now is that I’m pretty colorblind so basically alllll of my colors that I have put on so far have been completely off and I have zero clue how to colormatch lol so its kinda hard
Im so glad I found another woman. So done with these men who cant paint but get all the views.
Hey Chelsea, what is that box "easel" you have going on here? What’s the makes of it if you don’t mind sharing.
I tried out this subject last night – just as an oil sketch on paper. Didn’t go for absolutely finished, but left it quite undone. I absolutely loved doing this painting – what a great suggestion. Your version is more accurate than mine, but I was happy enough. Mine ended up with somewhat cooler colours which, oddly, made the final outcome look more modern.
Love your work!!! Do you have a technique for soft pastels?
Amazing!!
Nice job! Peace!
That is stunning, it is making me to want to get back to my studio.
Just started painting oils again after a brake.
Thank you for the inspiration 🙃
I’m stunned at the beauty of your work, and seeing the process you use from roughing in to initial laying in. As I was taught, you leave the use of white till very late. But you work all values simultaneously! That’s wonderful.
But, what happens at 11:32? You seem to have done a major restructure of elements that suddenly appear one second later?
Also, I use water-soluble oils. I’d love to study with you here, but I can’t use conventional oils. Is this possible?
Viewers should know the high quality professional materials used easily add up to about 400$ and would not be necessary for a beginner that is watching you.
Barely a minute in and totally agree with you re the all too easy slip into harsh lines, particularly with where shadows fall on the face. I’ve seen way too many gifted artists forget or neglect to round out their shadows and render their faces blocky and harsh when that wasn’t the intended effect. I absolutely love dramatic lighting but it’s got to be softened – beautiful work!
🔥
Thank you for sharing 🙂
The forehead , right side and right chin seem to be too “white ‘ light in comparison to the photo. Needs to be a little less contrast to the rest of the painting. Having said that I was absolutely impressed with your painting skills and the description of your process…thank you…
Excellent painting ❤❤❤❤
I have watched this several times with several months between them as I have worked on a facial painting and each time it seemed to be completely new and full of new ideas!! I like that!!
Good job as usual and thanks for the tips Chelsea !
Do you use Gamblin Ground before starting an oil painting?
Very nice work 👍🏻
It’s lacking
