Art: Mixed Media Portrait


This is a portrait I did for my mixed media class. We used a 'wash and lift' technique in which you sketch out your image, lay down a coat of acryllic paint, let it dry and then lay down a darker shade of water color paint. After that I took a wet brush and lifted out the highlights before adding in a brighter acryllic on top.

Figure is Allen Iverson, one of my all-time favorite basketball players.

  1. Ok, just now I realized I never really put the password to confirm my comment. So on the first post it was lost as well.

    At first, I wanted to say how cool is that we both decided to give the blogs a shot at the same time! I hope you can keep it up!

    And now I want to tell you how beautiful your work is! You know I've been always a fan of it, but you're stepping on a whole other level! You are so talented! Don't ever give up on your dreams! You know you have my support from whenever we are!

    Love,
