Paint a Large Acrylic Portrait with Glazes
Watch over my shoulder as I paint a huge 48" x 72" acrylic portrait in progress, using the glazing technique
My goal is to show you some acrylic portrait painting techniques you can put into practice right away. This bundled series of workshops is taken from my "Teaching Tuesdays" live workshops. In this case I am working on large acrylic portrait, a commissioned painting of a couple hiking through the scenic mountains of New Zealand. I'll be demonstrating the glazing technique, which can give you incredible vibrance, luminosity, and depth in your paintings.
Enroll in this course below and watch over my shoulder as I paint!
