Acrylic Painting Demo - Karrie on Canvas Full Episode
Below is another full episode of the show “Karrie on Canvas” starring artist Karrie Evenson. I am a big fan of this show. I love Karries carefree and colorful approach to painting.

Acrylic Portrait Painting Demonstration
This is a really cool 6 part acrylic portrait painting demonstration by artist ERIC T. FRANCIS. This portrait painting tutorial will teach you how to paint your very own portrait, start to finish, with the aid of a free software program called Gimp. If you don’t have this software, you can download it here. Computer software can be a wonderful tool for artists. More and more artists are utilizing technology to make the painting process easier.

For the untrained eye, recognizing different values within a portrait is very difficult and this software really helps!

Blick Presents: Liquitex Slow-Dri Acrylic Mediums and Additives
As we all know, acrylic paint dries very quickly and there are times when we would prefer the paint to remain workable for longer periods of time. You could always switch to oil paints, but for those of us who love acrylic paints, this is not an option. Acrylic paint starts to dry and form that annoying “skin” in roughly 10 to 20 minutes. This can be rather frustrating but luckily there are mediums and additives that we can add to acrylic paints to slow down their drying time and make for a much more enjoyable painting experience....
