Advanced Lift-Out Techniques
🎭 Discover the power of subtlety through lost and found edges. In this 1+ hour portrait demo, Josh Clare shares his refined approach to portraiture—starting with mid-values, building depth with darks, and finishing with luminous highlights using his signature lift-out technique.
You’ll learn how to:
🎨 Establish strong mid-tones as the foundation of your piece
🖋️ Add darks with expressive, dancing lines that avoid overworking
💡 Use the lift-out method to reveal highlights with clarity
⚖️ Balance hard edges and soft transitions for emotional impact
This is a masterclass in restraint, edge control, and spirit-driven portraiture—where sensitivity meets strength.
🕒 Runtime: 1+ hours
🔒 Available exclusively to Pro Artists Club members
