EASY TO FOLLOW Acrylic Portrait Painting Tutorial on Paper by Debojyoti Boruah

Subscribe: www.youtube.com...
This is my easy to follow Acrylic portrait painting technique for beginners and intermediate as well. Acrylic paint usually dries fast. To overcome this challenge I am using a fine mist of water to keep the paint moist longer. I have elaborated my techniques of blending and shading using acrylic with water as the only medium. No retarder is used for this painting process.
I have applied the first layer of color using Cadmium Yellow Lemon, Scarlet Lake and Burnt Umber to cover the sketched of the face and hands. I have applied many thin layers to achieve the desired effect of the skin tone. Most of the blending is done with dry brush technique with minimal water on the palette.

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Thank you so much for your appreciation 🙏😊

[@lebonpaintre]

Thanks for sharing. I´ve been using oils for years and paint pretty well. The thing is that oil paintings take long time to dry. Acrylics are faster but some skills are required to get a decent paint just like yours. However, you have blown away the thought I had about acrylics when they ate applied in portraits. The key here is that good acrylics are required.

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Same here. I too painted with oils earlier. But I shifted to Acrylic for its versitality. I live this medium now. I am sure you'll love it too. Thank you so much for your comment 🙏 Good luck 👍 Have a nice day 😊

Can I use brunt sienna place of brunt umber, I have no brunt umber color?

Dono color alag hai. Burnt sienna light hai aur umber kafi dark. Ho sake to kharid lena. Kyoki dark shade ke liye umber jyada istemal kiya jata hai. Aur agar kharidna nahi hai to aap sienna ke saath ultramarine blue use karke umber ke aas paas ka color nikal sakte hai.

How do you manage with effect that the acrylics dry very fast? I've been using Acrylic retarder but not sure if this is the right option. Please advise. Regards.

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Thank you so much for your appreciation 🙏 I think the beauty of Acrylic is it's fast drying nature itself. I only use water mist spray on my palette to keep my paint moist. Nothing else. It works just fine. It's alright if you are comfortable with retarder as well. It just fine 👍
