Abstract Realism Portrait// Texture, Layers and my Thoughts

Hey Friends!!!
I decided to talk a little in this commentary about some of my thoughts. I hope you don't mind.

The texture was created with modeling paste and beach sand.
I used acrylic paint, spray paint and acrylic ink.
Main colors were:

Pthalo Green
Yellow Ochre

Tools:
Sea Sponge

I hope you enjoy the process! Any questions, leave them in the comments!
