The Painting Process – Episode 1 | Girl with a Pearl Earring (After Johannes Vermeer) With ACRYLICS

Often I see other artists sharing tutorials on achieving Realism with oils, but virtually none with Acrylics. I decided to start "The Painting Process" series as a way to share my techniques and provide the uniquely crafted approaches that I utilize for my own paintings. As I will show in this series it is possible to achieve a hi-level Realism without the use of oils, solvents, and 6 months to a year drying time...

In this video (Episode 1) we will be looking at creating one of the most recognizable paintings in the world. "Girl with a Pearl Earring" after Johannes Vermeer (c.1665).

My name is Alex Hess and I am a professional artist that focuses my craft towards Realism. I believe my paintings take a rather signature approach in the fact that very few Realism artists paint using Acrylics. If you like this content continue to join me by SUBSCRIBING to this channel. Thank you.
