Artist's Comments



Level: INTERMEDIATE


There isn't much to say - it's an easy to follow tutorial in which I show and explain in 15 steps how to paint a portriat.

I do NOT go into detail about which brushes to use, or how to paint eyes, lips or a nose - you need to have at least a basic grasp of human anatomy and a basic knowledge of painting to do this.

Hopefully it helps some of you, and feedback (about the tutorial itself - NOT the layout of the pages) is greatly appreciated, as it's the only way for me to know whether or not this is of any use. =]

It amazes me how many idiots the internet attracts....--;

It isn't hard at all - that's why I called it an Intermediate Tutorial.

If you'd rather comment on the painting itself, you find it in my gallery.
