• Fixing things

As the title suggests, this is showing the painting process in real time from sections that are sped-up or partially skipped over in Lecture 5, which are approximately at the 37 and 39 minute marks. This video does not have a lot of talking since it is mostly the painting process that is to be observed, although there is some talking, as well. Students can use this video to see the painting process at their leisure, and go back and forth, to and from, areas of interest.

This is a further video of painting in real time that covers more-or-less the lower half of the face. There is very little talking, again, mostly just painting so that students can observe the process, and particularly its pace, as they wish. It also shows how "drawing mistakes" can arise during the painting process, and which are then "fixed" in the later part of Lecture 5, above, and in real time, Lecture 8, below.

This is more real-time painting from the final few minutes of Lecture 5, above, at about the 49 minute mark where speed painting or "time-lapse" begins. There is more video included here that also demonstrates how the workup/1st painting, tends to morph into the Finish/2nd painting. The final part broadly covers fixing and "finishing" the mouth as well as starting in on the hair.

This lecture contains video that was not shown at first because, amongst other things, much of it was actually missing or damaged. However, we were able to recover some video, and it should help add a bit of continuity to the overall flow of the course. There are also further minutes of real-time painting with commentary, which originally were done in a "speed painting" or time-lapse segment.

Further demonstration of painting "The Finish". This video was not included in the original course for a number of reasons, including because of continued technical problems. However, what has been salvaged does show many good views of painting in "real time", the quality of the paint, as well as some of the thought processes involved during the "finishing". There is also some commentary which is largely delivered while painting so it is more of a demonstration style, rather than lecture style.

• When does finishing start?

• When does it end?

• The unfinished look.

• Painting the hair.

• More demonstration and discussion

As the title suggests, this is an extended version of Lecture #11 with more introductory remarks and the rest all in real-time painting. Commentary is limited to what Juan is saying while painting, rather than to voice-overs. As indicated, this video section goes to about the 10 minute mark of #11.

As the title indicates, this is all of the available real-time video (i.e., no speed painting) from the 10 min. mark of Lecture 11 through to its end. The entire course is completed in the next Section 8. This lecture continues to highlight the pace and a manner in which to "finish" a painting. The face has some final touches and the hair is proceeding to a finish.

• The last bit

• Enjoy the finished work

The title says it all. This is the same video (possibly a bit more, in fact) of the finishing of the hair and background. Commentary is not voice over but, rather, remarks by Juan while painting.
