Paint an 8 x 10 Freehand Portrait of a Young Woman

Learn how to paint a 6-hour 8" x 10" portrait of a woman FREEHAND, using the acrylic glazing technique, step-by-step!

In this course, you can watch over my shoulder as I paint a portrait of a lovely young woman wearing red sweater on an 8" x 10' acrylic on canvas. I recorded every minute of this 6-hour portrait, from start to finish.



Here's some of the things you will learn...

  • How to sketch confidently, freehand.
  • How to prepare your sketch for painting so your colors don't get muddy
  • What colors to choose and how to use brushes and mediums for the glazing/ layering technique in acrylic
  • What colors to use to create realistic skin tones and how to layer them
  • How to balance out the subtle effects of two different light sources
  • How to make a smile look pleasant and realistic
  • How to paint hair that looks like it's really hair.
  • How to make your portrait look like the person you're trying to paint
  • And more!

Christy Boulter shared her first post.
Hello artists! I'm new to the group & just want to share my 1st acrylic portrait. I'm about 3/4 of the way through Matt's realistic portrait class and am working on the painting as I go through each lesson. I'll post again when it's finished. So grateful I found this course and the glazing technique (portrait of my mom Freshman year of college)
