Top Comments of this video!! :3
to summarize:
1. dont copy all the details, replicate texture
2. variate the colors within values
3. keep hard edges and accents to a minimum

This is a lot better than many of the other painting tutorials I've seen because it clearly explains the thinking behind decisions, instead of just showing what to do.

I thought the video of the model was a photograph so I jumped when he blinked LOL.
Thank you so much for this video! I have been looking for something exactly like this — an oil painting demo that explains the “why” behind each choice. Excited to get back to my paints and apply the concepts you discussed.

Im so high that I thought the guy in the corner was blinking…

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought: Oh, someone's painting Dostoyevsky.

That might just be the most useful ten minutes I've ever spent. So much really practical, and often counter-intuitive, advice. Thank you so much.

I have watched countless videos like this and have never heard about several thing you mentioned. You didn't waste a second, never have I learned so many things about painting in only 10 minutes.

I love how you actually explain why you do the things you do instead of just showing us what to do. It actually feels like im learning smthing and not just watching or copying someone drawing 👏👏

"When we look at someone's eyes, we never focus on both eyes at the same time". Holy crap I never realized that! Thank you!

Very nice work, sensitive and realistic without pushing the form too much toward details. You are one of the few artists online who actually understand that you can add more color into skintones as long as the value of those strokes is in harmony with the surrounding area.

I am a self taught artist, I know most of these things! I figured them on my own before because they just FELT right, I knew I didn’t like edges for a reason! Artists do really figure it out themselves.

This is how a proper painting tutorial should be like! Great work, Alex! I really enjoyed this one and hope you will be back with many more amazing videos as soon as possible. Have a great day!

I have never seen such a stunning set of techniques condensed into a crisp video I will revisit this many times. Thank you.

As always, wonderful demonstration. Thank you.

It was a great pleasure to watch your process and to listen to the clear explanations. Thank you! I am sure many viewers also appreciate you showing the model throughout. I loved your Diego Velázquez comparison of his two pieces, going from rigid to magical.

Brilliant Alex as are all your videos. I particularly like the handling of the hair, both the beard and hairline. The interaction between soft and hard edges so well explained and shown by example. Superb session. Yes, I think it quite possibly was your best yet!

Amazing tips I had never heard before!!!!! These can be applied to so much

Brilliant and excellent explanation as always.Thank you Alex!

I have watched this a second time and took notes. For me, you are the best portraiture teacher on YouTube, I like your technique and your results the most. I have started painting the Juan de Pareja master copy. It's hard not to fall in love with his, and your painting.
