Here comes your Real-Time Video Reward for April!💗I painted this portrait on Lana Vanguard paper which is made out of very slick plastic and doesn’t have to be primed. I started the portrait by drawing the tattoo with a marker so that it could shine through when I painted over it with oils. I used various effects to make this portrait interesting like paint splashes and overlapping textures.
