Trying this Portrait (Paint with me 1)

in hive-182834 •  2 years ago 

Happy Sunday Fellas! :)
I was planning to do an outside painting but since there is heavy rain today I decided to stay and just do my painting at home.

I'm really not a fan of portraits cause I'm not into detail cause it was a pain in the ass and sometimes color toning irritates me that's why I focus on Cubism and abstract but I want to try something new.
I ask my friend if It was okay to paint her It seems good to her she also said she's gonna pay me I'm a little bit shy cause I'm not that confident enough plus It was my first time doing portraits but I know her a lot lol!

I prepared my sketch 1 week ahead and prepared my art mats.

My Brushes and palette look tired and can't take it anymore lol!

My technique in painting is, that I always make my canvas wet because acrylic can dry quickly you have to race against time since I'm out of Retarder (Game changer tool)
I painted all subjects a light color so I can trace easily the outline.

Here's the final result :)
I know it's not that good but I'm so proud of myself! not bad for a first attempt, however, I think this is my last portrait haha that detailing really irritates me lol
It took me 12 hours to finish this artwork.
I'm satisfied, to be honest, and grateful as well. I didn't expect this actually.

Gonna end it here!

Thank you everyone for reading this ("Paint with me" blog)
See you on my next blog :)

I'm out! 🤙
