Oil painting portrait without tracing

In this video I share my favorite portrait painting technique that did done without tracing or drawing. I explain how I do this step by step with a time lapse video of my process. I don't think tracing is bad I just prefer this way because of the expression and life it gives to a painting.

I was a rare combination of artist and athlete so I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to play football for USC. I left the team my sophomore year to focus on painting and filmmaking, applying the same focus and discipline from my football career to my art. I primarily work in oils, and spend most free days painting "en plein air" in my new home of Sarasota Florida.
