How to paint realistic portraits in oil
How to paint realistic portraits in oil
Hello my name is John Allsopp; I'm a super realist painter. Realist is the term given to an Artist who works to produce a near to photographic quality. My intention in this article is to explain some of the secrets about I how paint in realistic fashion.
Please remember like every other skill you know about, realism in Art is no exception to the rule of practice. Practice and patience at the end of the day is dedication to your philosophical goal, keep trying new ways to achieve the style of painting you wish to achieve and within time you will perfect your own style of Art.
Painting famous well know people, needs care and attention to minute detail, after all you are trying to capture someone who is well known, your portrait needs to be recognized immediately. Any realistic type Art needs this instant recognition, realism is alive and well in other artistic subjects including that of wild life, landscape and Seascape painting.
My art is to produce as near a photographic image of my subject, so it will come as no surprise to you when I tell you that I use a good clear photograph of the subject to work from. Many pictures are available on the Internet which are free of charge, if I have a particular idea for a painting, I use photographic libraries to obtain a quality picture, and a 10 x 8 inch photograph is my preferred size.
Pictures can be bought traditionally printed on photographic paper or as slides that you would use in a projector. I buy glass slides; they are the best to use if you use my method of art creation. My glass slide is place on a projector, many art suppliers sell these. I use glass because they do not curl or distort the way a plastic slide would, I have plenty of experience of using plastic, and I can now say that glass is much better, they are a little more expensive than plastic, but their properties are much superior.
My glass slide is placed on the projection part of the projector. You can use many different types of material to capture the image, many people use linen canvas which is my preferred material. Art paper can be used too. If you are creating murals for a Childs bedroom the image is simply projected onto the wall where you wish the art to be created.
I simply trace around the projected image with a good quality art pencil, this gives me the outline for my painting. You could buy a large photograph and use tracing paper to produce your painting with this method. Using a projected image allows your painting to be larger that the slide or photograph, however you do maintain perspective this way and it is a good training method for your artistic intentions.
Practice tracing small area's of your work, concentrate on an eye or an era if you are doing a portrait. Do a small part of a boat if your work is nautical or the tail of an aircraft if you prefer aviation scenes. There is no magic involved here, it simply boils down to practice, be patient and you will become proficient at realism, it takes time and effort like everything else in life, try to keep moving forward.
Color is applied after you have a good realistic traced picture and you are satisfied with the outline. Color matching is crucial to painting, but like the creation of the outline it can be learned it just needs practice and a little determination on your behalf. Color matching tools are available from good art suppliers, they consist of a lens and an area where you apply some paint, which you have mixed to match the area on your painting. The lens has a split image, by pointing the tool at the projected image and by looking at the applied paint you can see if the match is good.
If you see the paint you mixed is too dark, apply some white to lighten it. Conversely if it is too light add a little darker color can be applied. Believe me this is great fun and very educational, I got there and there is no reason why you can't, it just takes time and patience and a little determination to succeed.
Facial color tone, painting hair is an acquired skill. There are many excellent books under the Art section of libraries in your Town or browse the internet, to help you learn how to build up color to match someone's face. Painting hair needs several layers of blended paint to represent the tone correctly. A small brush is then used to create detail.
Before long you will progress from using projected images, to being able to draw with the aid of a grid placed on top of your picture, this gives an added sense of scale which all helps your education. You can try measuring a part of your picture with a ruler; scale that measurement by increasing or decreasing it to produce different perspective in your art.
There are many other methods employed in producing realistic paintings. I hope you have enjoyed reading about my preferred method; my intention was to indicate just one of the many ways artists use to produce artwork. Books on the subject are easily sought with a little research. One never knows where your creations will end up; you may have a number of collectors who will but your work from all corners of the globe.
About the Author
What do you think of my painting so far ? ?
So i decided to try to paint a seascape just for fun and i was wondering what people think so far , any adjustments i should make to it , or is it too messed up ?
link :
Thanks
yeah the cat is supposed to be there , the painting is not done yet . I was just wonduring what people thought of it so far
Oh, my such thick brush strokes.
Ok first of all, does it have to be so heavy looking? I mean the way you have the paint on already makes me think that the paints an inch thick. Have you thinned it out with a gloss medium? Works much better that way and much smoother as well.
Second, you don't need to add the shine off the sky on the water until a later step, get the water done first best as you can!
If you need help learning a few techniques, find some Bob Ross videos of him painting. Those will help in an instant!
Third, give the cat some layers when you paint him/her.
I would say, Paint it all one color first with a thin color of dark blue or dark red. Even though your cat is not that color, it will help to add a contrast for the very top layer. Then you begin to add more layers of your cat's real color but in a variety of shades. Cats are not just one color, their fur has about 3 different colors on each strand. Keep doing these layers, adding more and more detail as you go.
Fourth, try a lighter shade of blue now over the whole water part, it will merge the scene together and hopefully add some distinction to the waves as well. It doesn't have to be thick, just a thinned layer of blue over the water will do.
I know you say you will probably turn it impressionistic but go and look at some impressionist artists before going any further. Look to see how they portray their subjects and see if that helps any further at all.
