Over the past month, I have been working on a portrait of my brother. I had never worked on masonite board, especially at the size that I chose so I was challenging myself. I also wanted to develop my painting skills because my most of my work has been in pencil and pen, so using acrylic was somewhat new to me. I wanted this painting to be special because it was based off of a photo I took of my brother and I wanted to express the joy he shows in the photo. When I started my portrait, I sketched out the whole scene with pencil to make sure I got the proportions right. After, I went in and began painting the background with an oil based acrylic paint. I haven't yet finished the painting but I am close to moving on to painting the foreground.
