A 1.5 hour demo in grisaille on shellaced panel. I like how the yellow of the shellac plays against the coolness of the grisaille. Makes it almost look like gold leaf from afar.

“She whose song has no beginning nor end– She whose voice faded into stars and moons– Where is she? Where is she?” “Ella cuya canción no tiene principio ni fin– Ella cuya voz se desvaneció en estrellas y lunas ¿Donde esta ella? ¿Donde esta ella?” Dunya Mikhail, from ‘Tablets II’ (trans. Kareem James Abu-Zeid) Artist: Alex Venezia. @alexjvenezia #art #contemporaryart #paintings #artcollector #artiststudio #artistofinstagram #artistsharing #art_share #artstation #paintingoncanvas #paintingart #artcollective #figurativeartist #womanoncanvas #quotes #frases #literatura #literature #poemas #poetry

JENNIFER BALKAN: LIMITED PALETTE PORTRAITS

Video Length: 7 Hours, 36 Minutes

Important things you’ll learn from this video:

• Explode four colors of paint into a zillion colors
• Warm it up or cool it down — color temperature isn’t as hard as you think
• Blend without blending. Jennifer shows you how to blend optically!
• Jewel colors — a magical four-color palette to enhance your portraits
• Some say, “Likeness rules.” Some say, “Not so much.” We’ve got an answer for you!
• Simple abstract value patterns — the best way to ensure a great portrait!
• Enhance, don’t replicate. Portrait painting is not photography!
• The tools you can use to see your painting differently
• Help nature along with more color — Jennifer’s got the recipe
• The Impressionists knew a thing or two about color — now you’ll know too!
• Broken color is not broken at all, it’s the secret to vibrant flesh tones
  see why!
• How do you paint something black without black paint — revealed here!
• Form shadows versus cast shadows — the difference may surprise you!
• Most importantly, give your colorful paintings taste and elegance!
