Portrait Painting Techniques with Golden Open Acrylics
Hey Friends!
Today I'm painting an acrylic portrait with a little whimsy thrown in. I am still working on my goddess/mythology series, but I wanted to test the golden open acrylics out by painting a portrait without adding oils. This tends to be a difficult task for me because I usually finish all of my portraits with oil paint. However, I am really thrilled with the result only using regular acrylics and open acrylics.
I'm currently going through an art nouveau phase and exploring organic, curvy lines. So, this was a combination of some abstract elements, art nouveau and a hint of realism.
I know it's been a couple of weeks since I last uploaded, but if you have followed me for a while, you know I suffer from some pretty intense, long-duration migraines. So, please forgive my inconsistent video schedule.
I hope you enjoyed the video! Please feel free to leave any questions in the comment section!
