This Blu-ray Disc® is disc 4 of 6, in the 6-disc set, companion to the 200 page full color book on "how-to" paint a portrait with a true likeness, realistically from a photograph, and mixing only four oil paint colors, blue, red, yellow, and white. This video set 12 hours viewing time, is also available online in 16 episodes as streaming HD-video at www.vimeo.com/ondemand/paintpoppy Watch and listen as Johan demonstrates how to paint a portrait in oils with a true likeness in which both form and complexion are rendered in a realistic style. Johan mixes on the fly as you watch, just four colors into all the many tones needed to render a realistic and the true likeness in living color. As you progress in your type of painting, you will find that Johan's general painting methods in mixing color, stroking and blending oil paint, is adaptable to various levels of skill and forms of painting. Advanced painters can take "shortcuts" while still applying the same general principles that Johan explains while he brings a portrait to life. For example, in this demonstration of Paint Poppy, Johan shows how to paint the portrait at an introductory skill level. That is, rather than painting the entire head all at once, Johan shows how the parts are painted one after the other and joined together as he gradually, and systematically covers the pencil drawing on the canvas with paint. In this way, painting can be stopped when it starts going wrong, before the rest of the pencil drawing is covered and correction becomes difficult. Johan's portrait painting routines are distilled from practical experience as a longtime commissioned portrait painter. Format available are the printed full color 200-page book, or the 6-disc set on Blu-ray Disc®, or the same high definition video, 16 episodes online.
