Janice is a home environments Hello everybody, thank you so much for coming back to my channel and thank you for joining me today on this painting process video. I wanted to show you this painting that I recently finished and just how I did it. This time I did transfer the drawing on the panel because it is a depends. Sometimes I'm very scared and sometimes I feel very confident. I always tried to not transfer it and just paint it directly but sometimes I'm very coward and it's okay but I will always recommend to paint directly. I'm starting the process with a portrait of course and the basic layer of it's not burnt see and it's actually transparent on the outside. I'm just trying to lay the basic values and colors of the portrait. They went through a lot of ugly stages but once I get the portrait correctly I can finally move on to other things. The thing is that it's just very small. It was so tiny you know, it had such a hard time making those tiny little details like that I was using the edge of a very small brush and every time that I put a paint on I would wipe it off with a paper towel so it wouldn't get muddy so it took me a very long time. And once I feel like I have the portrait correctly or properly done with the values and some shapes I try to paint around what's around it because I'm trying to paint wet on wet or alaprema technique so I don't want to paint anything that is on the outside really because I want to be able to move that paint around when it's wet. And I'm also trying to experimenting with my style because I love the impressionistic style of sergeant and zorn but I also love the more... I guess you would call it more... it's not illustration but it's more painterly of Richard Smith and I was trying to blend those two together and try to find something that I like too. So this is one maybe a little bit more different than the other paintings. Nonetheless I love both styles or different styles and I guess it depends on what you're going for. I wanted to force myself to do more finished pieces because sometimes I find comfort in the impressionistic and not redefining it and even though sometimes that works wonderfully some others I kind of want to push it a little bit more and even with this piece I left it I left a lot of space a lot of white space because I didn't really want to mess with it a lot more but slowly with each piece is like a battle scene and that's when you make the decisions of if you want to go where do you want to go basically. In this last moments I don't know why or if I even recorded a accrued sworn that I did but I can't find it on any of my e-sbycord. So here's the finished piece and now after I would say maybe a week or two we can have it was fully dried and I was able to use the gamborne varnish and this one is the perfect varnish because you can add it when the paint is trying to touch. It's not like those old thick varnishes and this is the final piece. I hope you liked it and I actually feel quite proud of it especially because it was something different and in each piece I find something even more beautiful than the last one about painting. I just love it. Thank you so much for once again and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful day. Bye bye.
