I come back to this video periodically, because it’s so masterfully done. It’s a joy to watch.
-
I haven’t painted anything since elementary school and here I am entirely entranced by this magic at 3am

Great job with the execution and colour mix; the Zorn pallet is often hard to master. A very enjoyable video. Thanks.
-
wonderful and exactly what I needed ! I've been gathering the "courage" to try a portrait after doing very forgiving landscapes, birds, still lives, etc. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts :)

Alex, It is obvious, so obvious that you've put a lot of thought into your videos. You are a talented teacher - something that might be rare. I've learned so much from you! As a fellow arts teacher I tip my hat.

This was amazing to watch, I just started doing portraits and mixing colours has driven me crazy since day one, they never felt realistic and always took so much trial and error. Being colourblind doesn't help either hahah, but seeing how much you can get out of such a small palette really feels like an opportunity to simplify the whole process and get better results at the same time. Can't wait to try this, thanks for the video!

This is a great tutorial. I can't believe I started out with 10+ colors in my palette in school. I've always struggled with value and color, so this extremely limited palette and method of blocking in is helpful.
-
Tremendous joy to see this well done tutorial, so clearly, efficiently and completely explained. I send it to pupils in art school, for online learning in this Covid period. Thank you Alex Tzavaras!
-
So amazing how it turns into a realistic face! When you started on the eyes and added detail, just wow!🤩
-
Beautiful work! Thank you for the detailed insight into your process.
-
This is a brilliant demonstration. Great content, cheers Alex!

That is a really great portrait painting. Fantastic work.

Brilliant. Finally someone explaining how to do flesh tones! 👍
-
Wonderful demo. I’ve watched many times up to know finding very useful to improve my painting skills when working with limited palette. Thank you very much again Alex. All the best.

Thanks for this! I've just started trying to learn how to use oils/paint in general and this is info is invaluable. The blocking in, the minimal palette, getting overwhelmed by the details (yep, did that one already). Looking forward to watching your other videos.
