Portrait painting that expresses realism is achievable if you practice and use correct techniques. It does not matter if you are using oil, acrylic or watercolor paint. Here are three techniques that will help bring your portraits to life no matter which medium you are using.
- Always accurately sketch a drawing first. Have you ever noticed that often times the eyes in a beginners portrait look too far apart or that the mouth is down too low? Well, getting a persons features even a fraction off, will distort a portrait. Getting an accurate sketch should actually take a considerable amount of time and effort.
- Apply the paint in layers. It doesn’t matter if you are painting with watercolor, acrylic or oil paint. After you’ve applied the initial skin color to your portrait, you are only just starting. I like to start my portraits with what I call an “underpainting”. An underpainting is a light version of the skin tone. This is just the beginning. Build upon this first layer with varying color and tones.
- Less is more. Here is a technique for painting realistic eye lashes. When you are ready to add the final details to the eyes, use a very fine tipped paint brush. Apply an ink like consistency of paint and use quick strokes to paint in just a couple of lashes. Step back and look at your work. You may only need a few tiny quick strokes to achieve your realistic eyelashes.
Portrait painting is a fun hobby that can be tough to learn if you don’t have proper direction. There are not too many guides available that teach you step by step just how to paint portraits or people.
If you want to see exactly how to paint people in step-by-step lessons, follow the link here. Painting People with oil, acrylic or watercolor paint. The best way to begin painting is to follow prescribed instruction and get your feet wet. With a little practice, you will be well on your way to a rewarding hobby of painting. Let http://www.IamPainting.org show you how!
What material or method works best for storing and/or shipping acrylic/oil paintings?
I need to ship and store acrylic and oil paintings. I have noticed that the paint from the acrylic at least transfers onto the plastic. I would like to know if there is a better way and/or anything I can use to avoid this from happening.
For my acrylic paintings, my art dealer uses a collar of corregated cardboad wrapped around the edge. You can buy rolls of cardboard, cut strips that will be a couple of inches wider than the thickness of the painting itself. Wrap the painting’s edge and staple the two ends together, then using packing tape, wrap the whole painting in the cardboard collar in plastic, also available in rolls from moving supply places and home depot. The plastic is raised above the surface of the painting and the collars rest ontop of one another when they are shipped. This will also work for oil paintings because they can scrape together.
