In this video I complete the challenge started in the previous video, in which I paint a portrait on a previously made abstract background. My 6 general tips when painting an interpreted portrait with acrylic are: 1. Don't start with a white background, but create a previous base with textures and color. 2. Use technology (Apps, Photoshop...) to design your sketches and develop ideas. 3. Use large brushes with synthetic hair like the Teijin. 4. Be guided by chiaroscuro. 5. Be faithful to your chromatic range (and don't try to use all the possible colors). 6. Interpret! Feel free to move away from the photographic reference to create a work according to your objectives. 0:00 General tips for painting an interpreted portrait with acrylics 1:21 Create a background first 1:45 Use an app to design 1:58 Use big brushes 2:08 Be guided by chiaroscuro 2:27 Stay true to your color scheme 2:58 Portrait process 17:00 Tony's reaction to the finished painting 18:22 Final tip: Interpret BONUS: use a wet palette to keep your paint for months use a water sprayer to moisten your palette from time to time so your mixtures don't dry out do the preliminary drawing with a pastel pencil instead of charcoal or graphite, as it's much cleaner and easier to erase.
