More Progress on the 48″ x 72″ Portrait

Slow and steady wins the race.

Little by little, I’ve been chipping away at this 48″ x 72″ acrylic portrait painting that takes up almost half of my studio. I want to show you the progress on it. Here is where it was at a couple weeks ago.

Here is a video I did showing the process…

Lately, I’ve been adding a lot of detail to the people, layer after layer, using the glazing technique. That allows light to pass through the translucent layers of color, giving the painting more richness, depth and luminosity.

I’ve got a lot work to do, but I’m happy with where it is at right now!
