A Portrait Painting | KALAWAKAN

KALAWAKAN

Genesis Aala
Acrylic on Canvas
18"x24"

Hello everyone, It's been a long time since I post artwork of mine, maybe I am really in the state of art hiatus or I just lack some time for this passion.

This painting called KALAWAKAN is painted together with MUNI-MUNI.

I am just new to exploring NFT Art, and I really wanted to learn more about it. The first step is always the biggest step for me. The original artwork is painted traditionally on an 18"x24" canvas using acrylic paints.

In case you are wondering I used my photograph as a reference:

Here are some of the details:

I recorded a video of work in progress but I accidentally deleted the file.
But let me guide you on how I painted it. I used my usual color palette of Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre, and cream. Then for the accent, I used Gold paint. I personally love to use Mont Marte Satin and Dimension since I like to put texture on my paintings.

At first, I wanted to create a hyper-realism portrait but I realized that textured and brush strokes fits best on my piece.

Let me know what you think about it!
