Painting a portrait with dry brush technique, a time lapse video showing the making of a black and white portrait on watercolor paper.<br />Dry brushing is a modern technique that allows you to make paintings that look very much like charcoal drawings in a fraction of the time.<br />For dry brushing you need a few stiff brushes to paint details and one or two soft round brushes for shading. What works well for me is to spread a small quantity of oil paint on a piece of cardboard, then rub my brush on this paint, and dry if a bit on a paper towel before painting on the paper. I find it surprising but you can quite easily erase the paint on the paper with a kneaded or regular eraser, this is very convenient when adding highlights to your portrait.<br />See more demos at paintingdemos.com<br /><br />Sign up for my newsletter here to receive updates about upcoming exhibitions, new videos and demonstrations and open studios. : http://list-manage2.us4.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=25f6bf83edc708667a4a39478...<br /><br />ARTiful : Painting demonstrations<br />eBook (PDF for Adobe Digital Editions), 216 Pages<br />Price: $14.50 : http://www.lulu.com/commerce/index.php?fBuyContent=12938156<br /><br />ARTiful : Painting demonstrations<br />Paperback, 216 pages<br />You can now own a printed version of the demonstrations, and bring it to the studio !<br />2 years of painting demonstrations in one book.<br />Price: $76.00 : http://www.lulu.com/commerce/index.php?fBuyContent=12928291
