Portraits are a timeless art form that captures the essence of individuals through careful observation and skillful technique. As an artist, my preferred medium for creating portraits is painting with oils on canvas. This classic approach allows for deep, rich colors and intricate details that bring the subject to life. When working on portraits, I find that the wet-on-wet method is particularly advantageous for achieving smooth blends and a sense of depth. By applying layers of paint while the previous layer is still wet, I can seamlessly merge colors and textures, resulting in a realistic and captivating representation of the individual I am portraying. The technique not only simplifies the blending process but also adds a sense of spontaneity and fluidity to the final piece, capturing the subject's essence with precision and finesse.
