By Brenda Miller


Ever been intimidated by a portrait painting? Especially when it is close to impossible to get all the colors correct? Well, we are going to discuss easy steps on perfecting it. With a little more practice and once you get a feel for it, you will be a natural. Here are techniques on Hand Painted Portraits from Photos.

First step is to pick an image that has good shadows and highlights. Make sure that everything about it is not impossible to portray since we are only doing the first one to try on. After that, crop the picture to a size that resembles your canvas. Then start from there.

Sketch or evenly trace its image to your very own support. If there is this instant where you are not comfortable with drawing your picture free-handed, then feel free to trace and use one projector instead so your proportions are right. Try to mark the places that all its shadows and some highlights go too. Then lay out colors you might need for the palette.

The first thing to paint is the eyes because it is to make sure those pop out and not get mixed in with the skin. Be a little crazy when it comes to eye color. Most artworks really shine when the eyes are sparkle like stars of different colors. Afterward, do its dark parts and your shadows. Use white, umber, yellow and crimson.

Do the mid tones that you see are on the picture and put it in the portrait. Add the lips during this stage as well. Those are also of a tone of skin so do not think red. Mix and dab to be sure of its color. For the rest, use just a little bit of ultramarine to cool down the skin. For warmer tones, use the yellow and crimson color.

Paint its lightest colors on the top of it. Light areas ought to be pretty warm so mix a peachy color with it mostly white, umber, crimson and yellow. When lights are blocked in you should see a three-dimensional face take shape. Then the fun part comes by adding the definition and its details.

Put the fundamental hues needed for its hair. When you do the blocking on its hair, you are going to notice which place is needed to be colored or not on the face. So in that case, add those shades to its forehead too. Load up everything in its hair.

Once all that is done, finish the tiniest and finest details. It is the part where adjusting the finer and subtle parts come into play. Start by adding more highlights and messing with the hair for a little bit just to add a bit more reality. Try not to go overboard though. Be creative but do not put in too much than what is needed.

Last is painting in the background. If you have not done it by then at that point, try choosing hues that do not complete your model and put it all over the portrait. When you block a color but then it turned out unsatisfactory, wipe them off and try a different set of colors. With that, you are done. Keep practicing and keep persevering with the talent.
