With the practice exercises of painting spheres, my blending techniques also improved.
This is the first face painting I did after practicing some skills that I learned in Hammond's book.
There are some things I would do differently now, were I to paint this boy again; however I am pleased with my first attempt with the skills I learned then.
If you're looking to take your skin painting skills in acrylic to the next level, I recommend this informative book by Lee Hammond, Paint People in Acrylic. It covers tips for painting skin as well as fur, brush maintenance, blending techniques, and more.
