In this video I do a portrait study of a man. I start with measuring and blocking out the main features then move to identifying the light and shadow areas, then constructing form with color and value, and finally detail. The main idea of this lesson is to not be afraid to really work the painting in the middle stages of creating shape and form. Don't be afraid to push and pull the darks and lights and really dial everything in.
As always if you have any requests for painting subjects you would like to see let me know in the comments!
