How to Paint the Human Eye – Art Tuition Video No.77

Posted on February 13, 2013 by Pat Harrison


Today I have selected a painting demonstration by Mark Crilley. In this time-lapse speed painting video Mark uses mixed media to paint an eye.

During the first 20 seconds Mark explains what he is going to do. Then he draws a pencil sketch. Every now and then more explanations follow.

In just under 5 minutes you can watch how watercolour is added to the initial sketch.

More pencil strokes underline the contours and the eye lashes. Again paint is added to create the 3D illusion. The techniques would work with watercolours and acrylics.

Hope you will like my choice of the day.
