Here is a common question I get, so I am going to answer it in today’s video:
“I have acrylic paints, but I’m a bit afraid to use them because it dries quickly. May I know how I should keep my acrylic paint from drying while I’m painting?”
My answer might surprise you.

Acrylic paint can be so frustrating to work with! It is notoriously difficult to blend smoothly with this medium. During my 30 years of acrylic painting, I’ve developed some blending techniques that work really well to help you create realistic portraits or landscapes for that matter!
I call them my “Five Fantastic Blending Techniques. This video is part of a complete portrait painting course called. “Paint an Amazing Acrylic Portrait”

I like the contrast and strong lighting on my face. It makes for a dynamic portrait, where it is fairly easy to build volume and form. In this video, I demonstrate how you can paint a portrait quickly, either to use as a study or the underpainting for a more polished work. Try this exercise and see what you can accomplish in a half-hour!

I am working on a portrait of a thoughtful woman with black hair and black clothing. The strong shadows on her face and her slight smile make for a very interesting subject to paint. Follow along with me as I endeavor to quickly capture anatomy, likeness, value, and skin tones.

In this video, I show you how to paint realistic skin tones in a reddish hue using the glazing technique for acrylics. The demonstration portrait is from the previous Spring Portrait Painting Challenge of late student Diane Howe. I show you how to mix and apply skin tones around the eyes, nose, and forehead to blend smoothly and create a realistic portrait!

Here is an 11″ x 14″ acrylic portrait I finished, using the glazing technique, just before Christmas—a timelapse, showing nearly the entire process.
This portrait was a little more challenging than most, because of how much detail was involved in such a small space.
But, by God’s grace, I was able to get it done in time! The glazing technique allows you to preserve the detail of your sketch, so you don’t lose the likeness, build up color and depth, and create a realistic portrait. I’d encourage you, if you haven’t already, to give this technique a try!
