I just found your channel and I'm learning so many techniques from you. I've recently gotten back into creating art after many years of putting it aside. I work with a variety of paints, pastels and collage. I'd love to paint and draw faces. Yours are stunning. Mine end up looking like crazy alien heads. 😂. Btw I was wondering what kind of easel you're using?

Thank you so much, I am so glad you like my videos! I use the MEEDEN adjustable tabletop artist studio easel, I got it on Amazon, took me forever to find one I liked.

The faces you create seem to come alive they are that expressive. I really like your style. ❤

I love your confidence in your originality! Another face to love. Thank you. Question. Did you put the matte medium over a regular or charcoal pencil and for what purpose?

[@KristaIreneArt]

Thank you so much!! I used the matte medium because like the way that it smudges the pencil and preps the paper for the acrylic painting. It also seals in the pencil marks when it dries so when I paint over it in acrylics it won't smudge anymore. I use a thicker matte medium on the paper as well because I like the texture.
