Painting in Oil – A Stroke by Stroke Look at Mixing Color and Painting Form by Scott Waddell

In this new, exciting video tutorial, Scott shares his oil painting process in a way he never has before. Scott’s portrait paintings each take anywhere from 25-35 hours to complete. In previous videos, he’s had to edit that footage down and even time-lapse sections of the painting to fit the whole process in. Now, with this new video, Scott has created a Main Feature where viewers can see a stroke by stroke, step by step presentation of his painting method. By isolating a few key forms, Scott goes into great detail, sharing exactly how he makes his seamless painting. He goes through countless brush strokes applying, developing and refining the form.

Each form that Scott paints in this Feature begins with an in-depth look at Scott’s color mixtures so that viewers can recreate those mixtures at home in their own studio. Then, as Scott works, he takes many pauses to illustrate and explain exactly what he’s thinking as he begins and develops each area. This video is perfect for artists who want to see exactly what goes into mixing color and painting form in Scott’s method.

In addition to the Maint Feature, Scott has included bonus Demonstrations which feature the development of several new paintings he’s done over the past year. Many of these are more traditional portrait paintings while others present new challenges such as painting in layers, painting without a preliminary drawing, and painting extreme facial expressions. The entire video is fully narrated by Scott.

The Main Feature is 85 minutes and the additional Demonstrations are 68 minutes, making the whole video 2 and a half hours long.
