Always appreciate you taking the time to post your approach here Ernesto. I for one have learnt a lot from this, so thanks.
Notice some small changes in the palette for this one, including the purple, can see how this adds life to the skin too.

Do you use a blending medium at all?

This one looks like it will be another enjoyable thread, so keep it coming!

Thanks,

Mike

Hello Mike and thanks for your comment, what is a blending medium? or what do you mean?
Sorry I didn't understand that one

 

[Ron Tamburrini]

Hi Ernesto
I know I commented on this piece yesterday but it seems to have vanished so here is my compliments again

This looks like it will be another gem from your awesome brush strokes.

Hello Mike and thanks for your comment, what is a blending medium? or what do you mean?
Sorry I didn't understand that one

My apologies - a medium to help blend acrylics e.g. I use Winsor & Newton. Man Jin Kim & Calvin Tan use Jo Sonja I think. Helps smooth blending when mixing, can be used with directly or mixed with water.
Also extends drying time to make blending & subtle effects.

Hello Mike didn't know about this product, will be useful to have a try, I only use water for blending, I guess this product help to avoid the fast dry of the ecrylics, would be nice to know if works good mixing also with Flat Base...
