Is it possible to paint a portrait in half an hour? Professional portrait painter Matt Philleo attempts this on an 11 x 14 canvas board, painting in acrylic. It is hard to paint true realism in this amount of time, but it is a good exercise to see and capture the essence of a person quickly. Get my free email mini-course at realisticacrylic.com/

    I think this demonstrates clearly the superiority of oil paints for portraits
  • @btru2whour
    Thanks for the prayer! And to the ultimate CREATOR! I liked this. I've always painted with oil and for the first time will venture into acrylic just for the sake of no time. This helped. I will definitely subscribe. God bless, brother!

    Matt i really loved your thirty minute study. It shows me so much real time examples that i find my mind working along better this way than learning any other way i think. I need to get my skin tones and gradation down a bit more, but that takes time and experience. I'm very new to portraits, but i was blessed when i found your videos. Thank you.

    I think you did an awesome job, especially since you did it in 30 minutes! I've been wanting to do human portraits. I paint animal portraits, as well as floral paintings, and etc., in acrylics. Today I've been watching tutorials on painting human portraits in acrylics. Then I came across yours a few minutes ago. I really enjoyed watching you do this painting. I plan on watching more of your videos. Now I'm even more inspired to paint human portraits. Thank you so much for this video. And by-the-way, I also pray before I paint. My desire when I paint is for the Lord to get the glory, and for others to be blessed by my paintings, and especially by the paintings people commission me to do. Otherwise, there would be no reason for me to paint. I wouldn't do it just for myself. Anyway, thank you again for this video. I have subscribed. Have a blessed day!

    I found it interesting that you put in the shadow before the features, and you drew the features in rather than creating the deep eye sockets, etc. You achieved what you set out to do. Great job! Thanks for sharing.
  • Very helpful tutorial specially for the skin tones and shades i’ve learned a lot about them from your video thank you so much for sharing it with us god bless you and your wife peace ❤️

    Lovely. Looks like your prayer was answered. I used to play bass too! Still my favorite instrument.
  • @kimmistryart341
    Beautiful work!!! Thank you! Maybe in the next video speak up just a little louder. It was a little hard understanding what you were saying, but the art work is wonderful!!!! Love it!!!
  • Hello Matt I too love these 30 minute studies , they lay a good foundation . What would you suggest to anyone who wanted to take them further in other words what steps would you suggest? Thank you.
  • Best portrait tutorial I've seen so far! I noticed you don't blend light into dark and vice versa?
  • @TheLiznz
    Really good tutorial, thank you
  • @terrymorris7653
    Matt, your painting is very nice. If I may suggest your audio sound was muffled sounding. It sounds like you weren't talking into the mic. Blessings.
