Sebastian Salvo Applies the First Layer of the Portrait of Gloria Bedoire

Jan-Ove Tuv visits Sebastian Salvo to observe him as he applies the first layer of a frontal portrait of the Swedish model Gloria Bedoire. You can follow her on instagram:

In this video you will learn about:
• Starting “dry“ with a color similar to the ground
• The importance of the eyes
• How a schematic approach to painting may go against nature
• “Hand memory“ (thinking with your hands)
• Combining sharpness and softness
• Slowing down (because you demand more)
• Being on guard against hubris (which makes you “blind“)
• Avoiding dark shadows in the beginning
• Continuing until you get a clearer idea of the point of the portrait
