Artist's Comments

I've decided to put together this tutorial since people often comment on how I paint eyes within my portraits. I've tried my best to outline my techniques, but keep in mind that it’s a difficult thing to pull apart a very fluid process. Nevertheless, I hope this tutorial sheds some light on my process.

To see the painting in this tutorial: [link]

I've realized it's a little large, but I think having good detail images is important and I'm afraid if I make it smaller, the images won't be as helpful. Sorry :(

Such a great tutorial! Eyes are very important when painting - they are the window to a person's soul. So it's so nice of you to share your experiences. Very useful!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us all!

Yes, I agree. I feel as though they actually can give a painting life in a way. I'm glad you could find it useful :)
