Gaining the ability to work with precision and speed is instrumental to your development as a painter. The most efficient way to develop your observation and intuition is to practice with shorter poses. The time restraint forces you to forego detail, see the big picture and focus on gesture and large masses. This is the secret behind all great works. In this video, I will work with a systematic process to paint a 50 min portrait sketch.
Using a limited palette I break down the portrait into 4 steps. The goal is to capture an impression of my model. I often do quick sketches as preliminary studies for more finished works. Mastering this practice is indispensable for those of us that only have a limited amount of time to paint each day. The lessons in this video will sharpen your observation and take your skill to a new level.
