This is my lastest, all acrylic paint. Still trying to get better

Very nice Mike The flesh, the hair and the vivid blues are great

Any chance we can see a shot without a flash and under natural light? (Flashes give pictures a high specular reading)

I will take one,tomorrow, thanks for the tip ,still learning the photo process. No flash.
Mike

No flash photo , looks better ...but I need some advise to paint better
Thanks
Mike

Quite a difference!

Looks really great to me. Advice.. I'll leave that to the pros. I'm a putty masher

Cannot see anything that good be better.
You managed the acrylic paint extremely well.

Mike,
Nicely done and great colour hair.

I don't think that much more advice would make better here a very good standard indeed, I think you have done all very well.

Thanks much, I will just keep painting maybe the more you paint the better you get.

I think you paint very well indeed the blues are spot on mate !
Sam

Ps my advice would be to give me some advice lol

Well done, Michael! I agree, I don't think there's anything you need to add. You've gotten some nice richness to the colors, especially on the blue mantle, and on the flesh tones, I think.

Prost!
Brad

hello the blue is cracking full of life and splendour,mine gets always dull what is your secret.???
blues and reds are my waterloo

Hello Mike,

As said in our contact, very nice done and the colours are rich. The second photo without flash is great now.

I hope there coming a lot of many busts of this quality, and I know, they are coming soon...

Looks great Mike! One thing that really stands out for me is the hair (and there's a lot of it!), always a challenge IMO.

I thought it was painted in oils! Your transitions are really good!! AMazing work bro!

Thanks guys, I took Matt Springer's acrylic painting class last summer in Gettysburg. I use his painting theories from that class. I apply the same idea to Blues ,whites , reds ect. I really don't know what I am doing I just do what he said to do in the class , thin layers ,lighten or darken as you go.Highlight here and there. Some of the colors have 14-20 layers or more. All these good comments inspires me to paint more.
