[TUTORIAL] Acrylic Portrait--Initial Color Glazes

in #art7 years ago (edited)

Transitioning from your sketch in an acrylic portrait can be difficult. In this video tutorial, I want to show you how to set the stage for a painting with luminosity, by using light glazes.

Glazes are simply mixtures of paint and clear medium (matte medium) and usually at least 50% medium to paint ratio. By building them up slowly, you can steer the portrait in the right direction, incrementally. It's a different way to look at painting. I'll show you how I do it in this video.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and have a blessed day,
