Acrylic paint can be so frustrating to work with! It is notoriously difficult to blend smoothly with this medium. During my 30 years of acrylic painting, I've developed some blending techniques that work really well to help you create realistic portraits or landscapes for that matter!

I call them my "Five Fantastic Blending Techniques. This video is part of a complete portrait painting course called. "Paint an Amazing Acrylic Portrait" ( courses.realisticacrylic.com/p/paint-an-amazing-ac… )

Enjoy!

This makes so much sense! Appreciated, I got frustrated watching videos that didn't demonstrate that well. I can use this in my portrait painting. Thank you!😊

Good morning Matt, I signed up for "Paint Your Amazing First Acrylic Portrait (Beta)" class on March 18th and I didn't realize I was paying for just one lesson. I see you have a replacement course for that which I tried to access but need to pay again. So I thought I'll watch the course I'm signed up for and it says "can't access". So I have paid for the first course and can't access any of them. Can you please help me out here as I would rather have the updated course instead, it sounds like the help I need right now. I am also in the middle of doing a commissioned portrait and really need your help with it (it needs to be finished by the end of the month). Thank you.
