How I Paint Realistic Portraits in Oil | updated process & tips

Video Description

Real-Time Painting Videos, Tutorials and other helpful material ▶ https://www.patreon.com/dariacallie ✨ In this video, I’m sharing the process of painting ‘Tempo’ — a 70 x 100 cm (27.6 x 39.4 in) mixed media portrait created with oil paint, acrylics, and oil pastels on canvas. You’ll see how I approach painting a realistic face, starting from the eye area and working wet-on-wet. I also talk through some recent changes to my oil painting process, including working with odorless mineral spirits and incorporating mixed media elements like acrylics and oil pastels. Whether you're just getting started or looking to refine your workflow, I hope this gives you insight into building a portrait step by step while staying open to experimentation :) Let me know if you have any questions, I’d love to hear from you! ♡ CONNECT WITH ME ☕️ https://www.instagram.com/dariacallie https://www.patreon.com/dariacallie https://www.tiktok.com/@daria_callie • Portfolio - https://dariacallie.com/portfolio/ • Shop - https://dariacallie.com/store/ Oil paint: I generally prefer Gamblin Oil Colors, Nevskaya Palitra Master Class and Winsor & Newton Artists Oil Colour.
