Creating depth in acrylic portrait painting becomes magical with the glazing technique. I started this portrait using a simple base of Burnt Umber, White, and a touch of Ultramarine Blue to block in the values. Once the structure was ready, I built the skin tones slowly through multiple thin, transparent layers of colour, allowing each glaze to dry before adding the next. This gradual layering brings out a soft, realistic glow in the skin. Want to learn glazing in portrait painting? visit bio li
