Portrait BLENDING with ACRYLIC for Beginner | Acrylic Portrait Painting Tutorial by Debojyoti Boruah

[@kayzale]

I have started painting portraits again after about 45 years (I am now 70) Your videos are quite inspiring, useful and a joy to watch. Many thanks. How do you draw the face ?

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

I am glad to know that you started doing portraits. That's great. And nice to know that you found my videos helpful 😊 Usually I use tracing method or grid to draw the face. But sometimes I use proportional divider. I have a dedicated video on how to transfer sketch on canvas or draw the outline from the reference. Please go through my videos. I hope that video will help you. Stay safe and Good luck for your next project 🎨👍

[@balajiedmalngiang9665]

Great job 👍

[@derryjs]

I am new to painting. Creating skin tones from scratch is extremely difficult. I wont give up though. You are great at what you do and I’m inspired by it

[@lotusismotivation2017]

Wow all the best sir

[@manishachandola9874]

U r simply amazing. Love your work. Are you not dipping your brushes in water ? U r doing the whole painting without using water? (In either brush or paint)??

[@lunamoondrop]

@@DebojyotiBoruahArt It reminds me of old comics printed on newsprint; when they only used like four colors. The characters with black hair always had a bit of blue in them for the shine :)

On your original sketch, do you use a pen so you can still see it through the paint or do you use gesso mixed in your paints to make it transparent?

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Yes, I use a permanent marker to make my sketch even prominent. I don't use any extra medium or retarder for my acrylic painting. Sometimes I use gesso for additional textures before starting the process. Thank you.

Do we need to add water to acrylic paint? Or can we use it directly? Does it looks shiny after it done? I am new to this medium. Please share your experience.

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

You can use acrylic with or without water. It's up to your need. For shine you can apply varnish. You should try it for better understanding of the medium. Thank you so much for watching 😊

[@amandagermany5933]

I notice that you often begin with mid tones and even some light tones as opposed to the traditional "start dark end light" method. Do you find this to be helpful with acrylics due to the fast drying time? I have always painted in oil and have just recently moved to acrylic to reduce fume induced migraines. I am enjoying acrylic but I don't find it as easy as oil.

[@DebojyotiBoruahArt]

Yes Amanda, it's extremely helpful when you start with a middle tone with acrylics. Just think about painting on a toned paper with charcoal and white chalk. As simple as that. Good to know that you are switching to acrylics. It's easier that you think. But have overcome the procedure of oil painting methods. Here premixing of colors may not work for you. Instead work on layers made with freshly made colors each time. I don't use retarder at all, instead I use water mist spray on my palette to keep it moist.
