Hi
I'm Kelly and today I'm going to show how to paint a realistic mouth
with glossy red lips
and a couple teeth showing through
first
I'm covering the entire skin area with water
I just think this makes skin look more natural
smoother without any streaks or lines
next I'm dropping in
color orange purples and yellows I'm very pale so I really don't need very
much of this
the teeth are kind of similar to the whites of an eye
but not blindingly white
because the top lips casting a shadow, and what you're going to see here
is light blue and some other colors. dropped in. I have given the skin some time
to dry
and now I'm covering both lips with basically water that's just been tinted
with an orangy pink. As you can see that areas that have been covered with
masking fluid
resist this paint, and they're protected from this paint and
everything else that I'll do to these lips.
Actually I'm so pale this is what my mouth looks like without lipstick so I should probably stop right here
but I'm going to keep going
Now I'm dropping in a mixture of hot pink and orange
along with a little yellow.
Now I'm just spending some time establishing that the left side
is dark and the right side is lighter and I just love watching
the colors blend together.
We're getting darker on the left side. The surface of the paper is still very wet
so my lines continue to blur. Light colors are okay, but there's something so
satisfying about painting
with really bright colors. I just love it.
Now I'm using a
small kinda fuzzy brush and just a little bit of water
I'm going around the outside perimeter
of the lips to just soften that line a little bit.
With a mixture of purple and orange, I'm beginning the line
between the lips and working on interior of the mouth
just a little.
Next I'm going to really start defining
the wrinkles especially on the bottom lip. Wrinkles on lips kind of remind me of
parentheses on the left side of both lips
top and bottom. The curve of the wrinkles
looks like beginning parentheses, sort of straight up and down on the center of the lip
and on the right side they seem to curve
in the opposite direction a little to the right like
end parentheses.
Wrinkles on the lips also
remind me of eyelashes. They're basically the same curve, the same size.
If you mess them up, it's not gonna look like a lip anymore
in the same way eyelashes won't look like an eye anymore if you mess them up
so I really do take a lot of time
making these look natural. You don't want to make the wrinkles
all look the same. You want to have some variation,
some smaller ones, some bigger ones, some
lines that really don't go in
any direction in particular.
So I'm just going to keep
working around the mouth like this. Not really sure whyI'm going
counterclockwise today but it allows the bottom lip
to dry while I'm working on the top left and
just seems like a logical way to work
the top lip is almost always darker than the bottom left
because light hits the center the bottom lip and makes it look like it's sticking
out
ok
up
so we're going around another time if you wanna make anything work
three-dimensional
I find that you need to have a white area Midtown
and dark and so that's what I'm trying to do with the sprinkles
you have some areas of white some very light
peachy areas some right pure color areas
and some darker shadows so its all those different values that make
a three-dimensional now good
good
my in case you're interested
that's occurring in the painting here is Estee Lauder and the color is rich
and Rosie in
and I'm just putting in some shadows around the bottom
and the top left
in
in
okay now I'm removing masking fluid
and I'm sort of softening the edges with a really small ***
just a little water good
and finally and adding some iridescent shred
basically all over the entire list except for the white
gary is this step isn't necessary but it reminded me of lip gloss and I just
couldn't resist
really like to admit the lips look on
and there's the finished product
thank you for watching
it
