Please check out: https://www.damianosborne.com/paintin... for more detailed information about the oil painting process I used in this video, particularly scumbling and glazing in oil paint, and the pigments for painting the skin tone.

There's more in-depth info on my blog not included in this video.


Painting the skin tone in oils shows figure painting in the classical technique of the Venetian and Flemish Old Masters. In this video, I am painting the second layer, or the overpainting layer. I use mostly scumbling oil painting techniques for painting the flesh tones.

By painting in layers, the artist is able to achieve a more realistic painting. This traditional overpainting layer in oils can be slowly build up in many painting sessions to create beautiful skin tones.

It is also easier to control your values, contrast and colour temperatures with a more limited palette per painting session.


I kept this video relatively short, so please check out my website if you would like to learn more stuff:
