Final Stages of a Portrait Painting | 'Nigredo'

https://www.damianosborne.com/ This is the final stages of a portrait painting called 'Nigredo' or the crucifixion. See how I use old masters painting materials. I begin with making titanium white oil paint. I show the oil painting in layers technique and making your own paint from nature. As well as painting the verdaccio in oils. Using all my own pigments, gathered and collected myself, I make my own oil paints and linseed oil with the methods of the Old Masters. Here's the accompanying blog for this video, https://www.damianosborne.com/final-s... detailing what pigments will I need for painting a portrait? Should you add chalk to your oil paint?
