Class Tutorial

Color Mixing

colors used to paint the wrinkles

Study the reference photo to determine all the tones and then prepare to mix the paints for  midtone, highlight, and shadowed area.

Blocking in Various Tones of Paint

Refer to your reference photo and block in the colors for the various skin tones in the appropriate places on the canvas.

Fading In the Skin Tones

blending the tonal values of the face

While you may have blended the colors more distinctly on other facial features, fade them in softly for the wrinkles.  Then follow Nolan closely as he shows just how to make each wrinkle look lifelike. It is a fascinating process.

Painting the background

After having painted all the different facial features, take great care to choose a background that will not compete with your portrait.
