How to paint skin tones. Acrylic painting videos for 29 faces

In these videos I show how to paint skin tones with acrylics, how to paint hair with acrylics too, for beginners and for fun! Every face is a different skin tone and different hair style.

Seems like the great majority of people are doing the 29 faces in social networks rather than the blog, which is OK, but I hope the blogs don't get totally neglected, I have been enjoying so many for a long time! Tell me how you are doing with your faces if you are participating ♥

Word of the year 2018

Word of the year... should you get one? Do we need one?
Same as "new year's goals" if it will be hard to reach, if you are not already in the path towards the goals... you will fail and it will make things worse.
I like to keep things simple even if life keeps throwing complications. I am in the path of keeping baby steps in the direction I love, which is art, sharing art and.... finishing the kitchen renovations!!
My word for this year is: (roll drums!) Magic.

We all need magic in our lives, and it requires a lot of it sometimes, just to keep going!
I want to use my own magic to create more art, more videos and I want to wish you to find your own magic. You have it inside!

The best for you in 2018! Lots of Magic, Pixie dust and Glitter! (vacuum cleaner included) lol

How to paint a poinsettia with acrylics

This is a fun Christmas painting/decoration/card that can be done with the kids as well.
Enjoy the tutorial HERE, and if you can't draw so well, here is the outline for you!
It can be used as many times as you want, but should not be added in a group of other drawings to be shared or sold. Thanks!

Merry Christmas!
