Oil Painting: Adding Highlights

Video Transcript

"We've got some of the darks in but we need to work on some of the lights. But instead of using this brush, I'm going to use a different brush to put in the whites. That way I don't have to clean the brush quite as often and I don't use up as much paint. So what I'm doing is coming back and putting down the lighter highlight areas. Probably bigger than they actually are because we're going to blend later. OK. And because we're working on top of wet color it's pulling up some of that color into the brush. So we have to clean the brush more often as we put down the white. May want to put down a little bit of Raw Sienna in there too just to take some of the pinkish tones out. Because it looks awful pink. And her face has got a lot of pink in there too."
