Painting: Abstract Minimalist Portrait

Painting: Abstract Minimalist Portrait

abstract ‎ course ‎ geometric ‎ minimalist ‎ painting ‎ portrait
Paint a portrait that's minimalist in form, yet powerful in expression! Grab your acrylics because we're getting straight to painting in the fifth chapter. Using only black and one light color of your choice for a bold contrast (and white for those "happy" accidents), Elad guides you in merging precision and spontaneity to bring your portrait to life!
