When one says "portrait artist" people assume oil paintings by the great masters and other renowned artists. Portraits can be created with the new acrylic paints which are water base rather than oil. Portrait artists using acrylic paints which are available in this century can capture the same depth with acrylic paints.
An artist will always try something new and will develop the necessary techniques to work with other materials. Painting a portrait with acrylic paints is no different.
Prepare your canvas with your favorite method. Apply the background you wish and freehand sketch your face. Or if you are like me, I prefer to lightly pencil my sketch.
Let me interrupt with a common landscape object; the cloud. The canvas is prepared, the background color of descending shades of blue has been applied, and now the beautiful white cloud is to be painted.
