Portraits to Comfort, Encourage and Inspire. I am a professional acrylic portrait painter, taking you behind the scenes into my studio. I help artists who want to paint people better, learn how to use acrylic effectively to create a realistic, true-to-life portrait they will be proud of. It is also my goal to encourage you through realistic, inspirational art with message of God's that shines brightest during troubling times.

Hi Matt, If I use Titanuim white instead of matte medium, will it be the same thing or can we use Titanium white in the same way as matt medium?
Is it okay if we use a canvas panel instead of a stretched canvas?
Question about the last step: Why do another layer of gesso and matte medium, versus skipping the last step and instead pressing lighter with the colored pencil or using a lighter color so it shows through less?
Because it not only mutes the lines but it seals in the grid.
@@MrsMemster But isn't the grid already sealed in from the translucent matte layer applied on top of the colored pencil before the final matte + gesso layer?
Good question. You could go lighter and omit the last step. Just seal it with matte medium. The reason I demonstrate it this way is that it’s difficult for many to go light without having tbe colored pencil skip and miss on the canvas surface. But if it works for you, give it a try!

Brilliant and informative as usual Matt. It’s been a long time since I used acrylics having tried airbrushing for a while. In the UK Nova Color is not available and buying from the US is costly so I will probably stick with Liquitex. Looking forward to the next lesson.
I don't have the matt medium you are using. Can I use water in the mix for a glaze? I am only learning about your technique after I have started two paintings.
You can, but it won’t have the same results at using matte medium. The medium will give you a smoother application. Some have used water, and have created beautiful paintings. It will just be more difficult; that’s all.
@mattphilleo971 Okay, thank you. What about retarder?

If we received a link to this video, should we also have received a printable file version of the supplies checklist? I didn't see one attached to the email.
I figured people would have the supplies list by now since the Welcome Kit download appears when you sign up for the challenge. But an extra link would be nice! I might need to send out another email for that.
@@fineartbymattphilleo I re-signed up and downloaded the list 😅
Thanks Matt looking forward to the challenge
You're very welcome!
How do you hold a palette
You can hold it however it’s comfortable for you! I like to hold mine in my left hand as I paint with my right. I put my thumb through the small hole and grasp with my fingers on the opposite side. Then I let it rest on my arm for support. Some like to set it on a table next to them.
Thanks Matt, all supplies ready and raring to go !
Fantastic, Marlene!
looking forward to this
I appreciate you praying ❤
Which colors do u suggest?

Thank you for sharing,Matt
You are very welcome! I hope you have a great time with this challenge and may God bless your painting!
I love this My brother may the Lord bless you and may He continue to use you ❤ Thank you for inspiring me to paint for the Lord again and use the gift that He give me to glorify Him through art

Hi Matt, Thank you so much for offering this free Winter '24/'25 painting challenge series. I have been unable to participate in your experimental comparison of 2 teaching sites due to unseen personal issues in addition to holidays. I know I've let you down and I'm miserable about it. I'm so sorry. I'll be taking the challenge from Ireland and will need to know what time you start the class in your time zone in the USA so I can be sure to be online in Greenwich Meantime. God Bless and sincere wishes for a healthy, prosperous, peaceful and blessed New Year for you and your family!, Kay
Happy new year❤🎉
Congratulations!! You will continue to do great thing, God bless in Jesus name!
FANTASTIC Matt! I'll buy a copy of your book! I watched the video of your testimony and WOW... it really encouraged me! God Bless You Brother!

Thanks Matt!
Your so good
Thank you
You have taken out so acrylic paint on your palette. Is it not drying out ? Do you keep spraying the paints with water ?
Yes, I spray the palette with water quite often to keep the paint from drying out.
@fineartbymattphilleo Thank you
Cool
