Chapter 5: Painting The Mid-Tone

Create a pop-art style portrait in this 6-part acrylic painting series curated for beginners! With the first layer of your outline down, it’s time to paint the layer that really adds to the pop-art look of your portrait painting. Follow along with Elad in using a medium-to-dark grey to paint the mid-tone layer of your portrait, then congratulate yourself - you’re halfway through!
