        Welcome to the forum Steve – and what a lovely piece to bring!
        For a first use, you’ve done really well – a) a portrait and b) skin tones .. as well as finding acrylics are hard to blend for that skin ……. I like the way you’ve used the tones and the brush!

        Looking forward to seeing more!

        We run a monthly challenge called Different Strokes – near the top of the forum – often makes us think differently and it’s fun! Do take a look and it would be nice to have you join us.:)

        Cheers, Maureen

                    Nice and he looks like a wonderful boy.
                    It’s so easy to age children in paintings and I think you’ve done well in keeping him youthful.

                            you did a great job… probably you selected one of the most challenging type of paintings for your first try… :)

                                Very expressive work.

                                Captured a personality in this painting, that’s the important part.

                                Liquitex makes Slo Dri Blending Medium. It helps with blending.

                                A painting is never really done as long as I can get my hands on it.

                                    Very well done, really. Great portrait. Looking forward to seeing you develop as you are off to a super start.
