For this portrait (inspired by Ivana Besevik) I layered acrylic paint to create visible brush strokes and create a messy style with vibrant colours. I enjoyed doing this because layering the paint gave a more opaque look rather than blending.
To improve i think i need to add more detail to the face and hair and blend the hair/body into the background by using similar colours like Besevick does; rather than the dark and light blue paint i used here.
