I learned this approach to portraiture with the excellent artist Rosso Crimson. It starts with an acrylic abstract background. In this portrait, I also added some gold leaf (imitation), sealed it all and then painted a portrait in oil paint on top of it, leaving some of the abstract background visible. Photo reference thanks to Mae Martinez on the museum app. I learned this approach to portraiture with the excellent artist Rosso Crimson. It starts with an acrylic abstract background.
