In this Acrylic Portrait painting I am focusing on blending and shading technique with acrylic color on paper. Blending is usually difficult with acrylics. But in this video I have elaborated my techniques of doing blending and shading using acrylic with water as the only medium. No retarder is used for this painting process.

I have started this painting with Burnt Umber and Cadmium Yellow Lemon for the initial layer.Then proceeding with multiple layers of paint slowly adding one by one. Acrylic paint usually dries very fast. To overcome this challenge I am using fine mist of water to keep the paint moist longer. I have applied many thin layers to achieve the desired effect of the skin tone. Most of the blending is done with dry brush technique with minimal water on the palette.
