After drawing for about a year, and neglecting painting, I recently decided to go back to acrylics for portraiture...but with a difference. Instead of painting the way I used to, with a lot of line-work typical of drawing, I decided to try painting in a more standard way, with flat color areas that work together to imply lines and planes. It doesn't come naturally to me, and the results so far seem like a step backwards, but the one of Christine is promising, and hopefully I'll get better with time.
