Painting Acrylic Portraits: Reference Pictures

Video Transcript

"We've got our colors here picked out, the primaries. We've got the yellow and green, red and blue, and these are just a couple of them mixed together. So, we have our colors picked out and the other things that we're going to need are a cloth, just to get the excess water off our brushes, and water. Make sure it's kind of clean. You always want to have refreshed water, make sure you keep it nice and clear. Let's pick out the brushes that'll be using. We'll pick out this medium one, a bigger one, and those are the flat ones for the round ones. We'll pick out a thin round one, a medium round one, and a pencil. You never know when you might need that. These are the materials we need and then, real fast, you're going to want a reference picture. You always want to be painting when you're doing anything, especially, when you're doing people, a face. You always want to have a reference image that you're going to be looking at and keep looking out, throughout the painting."
