Acrylic Portrait of Couple with Flowers—Using the Glazing Technique—TIMELAPSE

How do you preserve the details of your sketch?

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!

Acrylic Portrait of a Dog and a Foot: Time-Lapse

Let me show you how the acrylic glazing technique works, in a quick five minute video.

I’ll do that by sharing with you a recent acrylic portrait I did, capturing an experience of a woman who was hiking with her dog, and ended up laying down in the snow!

She wanted me to capture that moment of her dog and her foot shown as she snapped the photo from the ground.

This was an 11 x 14, acrylic on canvas, shown in a 5 minute- timelapse format. I painted it using the acrylic glazing technique, where we mix small amounts of paint into large amounts of clear acrylic medium to make the layers translucent, building up amazing depth and luminosity.

You can watch the video below…

I hope that this will inspire you in your own painting.

You can take it slow and easy, working the entire canvas in stages. You don’t have to get it right in the first layer. Rather, you can slowly “steer the ship” to the right destination. You adjust for any mistakes and build on your successes in each additional layer.

Enjoy!

Oval Vignette Acrylic Portrait Timelapse

/ Flesh Tones Glazing Timelapse Tips and Techniques Video Tutorial
/ By Matt Philleo

It’s fun to paint a portrait using the acrylic glazing technique. Although it takes a little longer, it allows you the ability to build up some fantastic depth, color saturation, and shading.

In this painting I did toward the end of 2018, actually two 14″ x 20″ oval vignette bubble portraits, I demonstrate how the glazing technique works, in about nine minutes. If you would like to see the process, at a slower pace, with explanations of my technique, check out this post here.

And now for the 9-minute timelapse video…
