Painting Dark hair– Dos and don’ts – Oil/ Acrylic Portrait painting basics

In this video I am continuing on the portrait basics series. Today, I am going to cover the Do’s and Don’ts of painting hair. I have already shared videos for eyes, nose, ears, lips/ mouth with oils and acrylics and watercolors too. Now hair is a topic far too varied to cover in one tutorial… so today we are going to talk about painting dark hair – straight and slightly wave, brown or black. There will be more to follow. I am working with oils and acrylics and they work pretty much the same way.

To watch the entire portrait basics series and other portrait demos, here’s the playlist:
