How to paint a portrait. A quick time-lapse Tutorial guide. Portrait of Lonnie Walker. Enjoy!

Theron Cook

Here is a demo video "A brief beginners guide to drawing and painting a portrait". In this video I am teaching you how to start the drawing of an image, using a reference image and how to paint it. creating layers over the under painting. I am encouraging the use of many colors such as blues and red which some people may not associate with being "skin tones" that you would use in a portrait painting. The video is intended for you to paint along with me. Of course you can pause the video and really take your time with the artwork. This is a Timelaspe video & the process is defenitely speed up. I have taken my time to create this tutorial or "how to" video so I really hope that it will prove helpful to some of you amateur artists out there. This video is intended for absolute beginners. Please note, this portrait is NOT intended to be a perfect painting. I am simply trying to encourage people who may be wanting to refresh their skills or take up painting the figure/portrait from the very start.
