Acrylic Painting with Pastel Techniques on Canvas: Big Eye Portrait Painting

Paint this whimsical big-eyed portrait with me!

I show you step-by-step how I painted this big-eyed portrait in Acrylic painting techniques and how I use pastels for that extra soft look! 

That's not all, we even sprinkle some magic at the end with a dash of some mixed media techniques. You will learn how to add glitter to the artwork that won't flake off.

Class Includes:

• The line art to practice with
• How to trace the line art onto canvas
• Acrylic painting techniques
• Soft Pastels techniques
• How to achieve a soft fairy-like effect
• How to add glitter on the artwork, flake proof method

Just to recap

You will learn acrylic painting techniques with soft pastels for creating a portrait.

We then give this whimsical big-eyed girl an extra touch of ethereal by adding glitter to her temples with my glitter on artwork stay on proof method!

The glitter doesn't flake off! You can use this glitter stay on proof method on all your artworks.

The line art is included in the class downloads. You can simply trace the sketch onto your canvas and I will show you how to do this.

This class is for beginners and experienced creatives who want to learn some new techniques and want to follow this project along with me.
