Portrait painting demo by Ayala Art, shown in 3-part video.  Artist has a charming, stylized way of painting portraits using acrylics and mixed media.    You can see more of her paintings on her blog.

Part 1.  Charcoal sketch

Part 2. Ayala Art shares the colors she used for skin, which include red oxide, yellow and white, with tons of medium and a hint of purple.  She also notes that the hair is not really as orange as it looks in video!

Part 3. Artist says:   In between layers in last part of painting I added a layer of medium. After finishing, I added a coat of varnish.  The little fish on coffee cup are part of Katey's own art.
