A Portraitby `Wolfie-chama

Traditional Art / Drawings / Portraits & Figures

Introducing a "Japanese Ah Pek" (old man). He was grumbling that his face was too orange (the photo I took of him had sunset lighting), so I desaturated it in the end. =______=;;;;

Executed using American Realism technique. I just realised recently that my method of painting in acrylic is really weird, seems like nobody else is doing it my way, hope this doesn't spell disaster...

C&C appreciated!

Medium: Acrylic on canvas

Daily Deviation

Given 2010-01-24

Can it be helped to be moved by certain types of portraiture, creating that peculiar connection both subtle and irresistible, that serves to rouse the curiosity and imagination of the audience? As shown in this piece, A Portrait, ~Wolfie-chama's brushstrokes clearly possess that authority. Please enjoy a closer look. ( Featured by `snowmask )

IF this is a disaster, then I'd love to have one. I'm blown away by the light. Just blown away.

~Brownielola Aug 11, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

Love the way of using the light!

do you mind sharing your method of painting with acrylics? I hated working with acrylics until recently.

`Wolfie-chama Aug 8, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

My method of painting is a combination of transparent and opaque application. The tonal values are done dark-to-light, as opposed to the watercolour method of light-to-dark.

For the first part I do the pencil outline using 8B pencil on canvas, then apply layer after layer of transparent, watery washes (a little like watercolour) using a large brush to get the overall look. I use a lot of wet-on-wet glazes of colour, and mix the colours on the canvas itself, but you might prefer to get them right on your palette before applying the paint. By the end of this part the values of the shadows should be just right, while the lighted areas can be slightly darker as I would touch them up with opaque paint.

The second part is basically just touching up and adding more details using a tiny brush loaded with no water and lots of paint. I try to mix my colours frequently so that the final product will have a lot of subtle colour changes. Make sure to keep the paint really thick and concentrated, so cleaned brushes have to be dried, and I give my colour palette the occasional light spray of water to keep paint from turning to stone.

Hope this helps. : ]
