3 of 3, portrait painting tutorial, glazing, grisaille technique, real time
3 of 3 The last of 3 showing a portrait painting tutorial, with me glazing oil paint on a portrait painting using the grisaille technique in real time. Here I continue to add more highlights with glazes of oil paint and velaturas. A velatura is a glaze of oil paint which is semi opaque, i. e. in my case this means it has a little Titanium White oil paint in it. This is the end of the first glaze only, and that when this is dry I will paint another 6 or 7 glazes over the top of the first glaze, and the portrait will gain further depth and lustre as these glazes are added. Each time I start a new glaze I will rub down a thin layer of medium, to wet the surface. I use M. Graham s Walnut Alkyd Medium as it dries quickly and doesn t have any mineral spirits. Colours I m using are Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium red and orange, Indian Yellow, Sap Green, Ultramarine blue, Raw Sienna, Titanium White. I generally use hog brushes here with some sable ones later on.
