Initial layers of Acrylic paintings start off looking rather untidy whilst all the base layers are laid down. Portraits particularly large sizes like this one, can take a while to define before they start to resemble a lifelike portrayal and multiple layers are applied to create the final outcome.
Now all the base tones are laid down on Louie himself, I can begin applying the fine detail but first I will build up the tonal background, currently showing are the underlayers.
