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.
