Painting Velazquez Technique

My new teachable course on realistic portraits
https://painting-the-light.teachable....

In this Video I paint in one sitting the portrait of Pope Innocent the X as it was painted by the great Diego Velazquez.
Many consider this painting by Velazquez to be the greatest portrait ever painted. And truly its an absolutely amazing and mesmerizing portrait depicting the depths of human nature.
I talk more about about the lessons learnt by Velazquez and how a painter should conduct themselves than the technical aspects of the painting. For a detailed video on them, a lesson on the various stages of this study, please support me on
