An Eccentric portrait - Painting process
Channel: Caroline with E
Date: 14/05/2020

This is a video from the series PORTRAIT VIBES where I will show the painting process of realistic paintings.  This video is a realistic female portrait, this time I tried to go more creative as I see that there is a tendency to portraits that are just a copy of the subject. 

I decided to use an uncommon color and do monochromatic at the image because I bought the purple out of impulse and never found an excuse to use it. Now I am grad I did!
I will certainly try more times to give an creative touch at the portraits in the future.

This is not a tutorial, however I will comments whatever I consider do´s and don´ts by my point of view. In this painting my message is to force yourself to start something, even when you are not in the mood, the mood will come after. Specially in moments that inspire that feeling of depression and anxiety, it is good to stay active (whatever that means for you).
I always set a goal when I start a painting, the goal in this one was to get the most realistic look, in lights and shades, and I am trying to apply practices that makes the image pop, this is why I went dark in the background.

It was really interesting to see that in some points I achieved more realistic look by accident than I would be able to achieve by even trying.
