Donation. No obligation, but if you can please do! https://paintingportraittips.com/donation/ In this video I show: √ How to make an interesting background. √ How to loosen your brush strokes √ About design and composition √ About color harmony √ Which brushes and which medium √ About tonal values It is my intention to publish more of everything I know about portrait painting . And I want this information to be free for everyone. Some compensation for my efforts comes from the publicity which you see appearing occasionally. I hope you don't find it too annoying. Until now I received the most nice and grateful reactions from all over the world. And that gives me a lot of satisfaction. In my blog you will find even more information about portrait painting and a free eBook “One hundred portraits”: http://www.paintingportraittips.com My gallery: https://www.lustenhouwer.com The website of my cousin Will Sophie who wrote and performed the most fantastic compositions for me: https://willsophiemusic.com
