Blending Skin tone in Acrylic | Step-by-Step Portrait Painting with Acrylic by Debojyoti Boruah

[@Cheeseburger172]

Yall I ain’t never painted before but I got a lil canvas and decided to try for the first time and it’s coming out 10x better than expected, you wouldn’t believe I am a beginner

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

That's great. Keep going 🎨🖌️ Thank you

[@RomaBegumArt]

You’re so talented I cannot believe my eyes. This looks exactly like an oil piece! 😍

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Yes you can paint oil like finish with acrylic 🎨 Thank you so much for your appreciation 🙏😊

[@Asteptillustration89]

This is amazing you paint as if it's oil paints and it goes to show you what the proper technique you could have your paintings rendered as if they were painted and oil! Excellent work!!!

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

[@BabyBera-m2t]

Your paintings are pure bliss 🙏❤...do you paint by dry strokes with the colour just keeping the colour moist &or add any medium like water during the strokes??

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Thank you so much for appreciating my work 🙏 I only use plain water mist to keep my paint moist. No medium or retarder is used for my painting.

[@gloriaoppen8412]

Beautiful!

[@spor07]

Thanks for the video! When painting, do you wait until the layer is completely dry before applying a new layer?

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

As acrylic dries much faster, most of my technique involves working in layers after one layer dries. It's very hard to work wet on wet. Thank you for appreciating my effort 😊🙏

[@jenr.2998]

Amazing work you do ! Is this dry brushing ? What are your methods to prevent caked up acrylic or not too loose acrylic on the portrait?

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Thank you so much for your appreciation. I mostly use my palette vertically. This way you can manage adequate amount of moisture on the paints. I use both dry brush and wet technique for my works.🎨

Glad to know that my videos are helping you. Every artist has their own teaching and working style. You can get something good from them always. Happy painting👍😊

[@forevergraceful6160]

Thanks for your kind comment Debojyoti, what I meant was the teacher during my secondary school not only did not teach me how to paint but was critical of my art work as well. I gave up art because of that for nearly 3 decades.

[@Artwithaks]

I love your paintings. I want to try doing portraits using acrylic too but they keep drying as I mix the skin tones.. what should I do ?

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

You can spray water mist to delay the drying time. You can also check my website for my exclusive portrait painting course. Thank you.

[@nataliiabernatska4870]

amazing work, love it so much. and the idea that it was done with acrylic gives me hope not to give up, as most artists use oil painting. did you use any medium to mix colours, cause thats tricky as acrylic dries in minutes.

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Yes, you should not give up. Acrylic is a very versatile medium. You can paint whatever you want. I don't use any medium or retarder. I use only water for my paintings. I have dedicated course on it. You can check my website.

[@sublimeister9630]

Don’t use pure white. Always reserve it for those few touches of highlights. Now the skin tone looks over-exposed, as if a bright flash from camera hit her face. 👍

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Yeah, you are right. Very nice suggestion. But, here I have preserved the shiny hilights of her face. Thank you.

[@jasonpeng5798]

He’s going for a more artistic, high contrast look. It looks more vibrant with pure white. Otherwise it’s photorealistic and looks boring

[@GnaReffotsirk]

How do you keep your paint from drying there?

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

I use mist water spray on my palette to keep it moist. It works. Try it. Thank you.

[@nwiegman]

Dear Debojyoti, do not take this wrong but acrylics just do not offer the same blending, transparency and smooth gradations as oils. The colors remain chalky and saturated. I do oils and am trying to do triptik in acrylics- The hair, the clothing- no problem but the face like you I get close but it has an impasto quality. I am searching and there just are not any portraits like Bouguereau done in acrylics. Not to say acrylics do not have their own voice, I am forcing it to make acrylics behave like oils. Debating wether to just finish face in oils. But that is not the challenge I gave myself. Best wishes, Nelson

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Thank you so much Nelson, for your valuable comment and feedback. Earlier I used to paint with Oils, but since 15 years I have been working with Acrylic. Now this is one of my favourite mediums. I found it more versatile and forgiving now. Thank you 😊🙏
