How to Overcome Struggles in Your Acrylic Portrait

This was originally a Facebook Live video I did yesterday (as I post this) to help my students taking the Acrylic Portrait Painting Challenge to overcome struggles and frustrations in their portraits. I PAINT ON TOP of two of their portraits (with their permission) and show you how to fix glazes that got blotchy, how to add additional blending, and how to lighten up areas that are too dark.
(The video quality is lower, but I hope this will still be of help to you!)

thankyou Matt, I havent signed up for the challenge yet but I plan to. i am actually doing a commission portrait for a friend at the moment and my piece is a the stage where these adjustment layers will be so helpful to my current painting. I really appreciate your in depth lessons, have watched all of them up to this one and intend to watch all you've posted. I never would have realised how nice an acrylic portrait could be, otherwise:)
Many thanks
Sylvie
