Everything that will be discussed in this video is based on my personal experience and knowledge, which I have gained from various sources throughout my life...

Intro

I often receive messages asking me to explain how I painted the work "At the Blanes Pier". I decided to repeat the process and to show you in detail how I did it. I took the same subject, but changed the composition a little. In the same section, I show how I work with the model and what you need to specially focus on

Photoshop Process

how to turn a photo into a sketch

Canvas

Like any artist, I have a favorite canvas. But it is rarely available. Sometimes a large grain canvas is the only available option. Here I demonstrate how you can turn this canvas into a nice working surface

Medium

I explain how to make the medium yourself: composition and proportions

Brushes and Palette

What paints and brushes I used to create this work

Imprimatura

Canvas toning, preparation for painting

Transferring an image from a digital sketch to canvas

If you aren’t good at drawing yet, then this is the easiest way to transfer a sketch to a canvas

Blocking in

In this section, there is a process of structuring the picture, determining large spots, color-tone relationships. The first stage of image processing. During color mixing, the palette is always on the screen

Second stage of painting

Paying close attention to detail

Things I missed while painting

Analysis of the work and editing, revision. Working on mistakes

Varnishing

Step by step, in real time

P.S.

A few finishing words :)
