Classical Portrait Painters

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 09:11:13 +0000

Two classically trained portrait painters honor me by asking me to sit for a portrait. These artists studied under the tutelage of a living master and their art demonstrates the skills he taught.
Music is Vivaldi’s “Trio Sonata for Two Violins and Continuo in A Major.”

James Castle: Portrait of an Artist

admin — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 10:22:12 +0000

Friends, family, fellow artists and gallery insiders give a wealth of insight into the life of the late James Castle, a deaf, self-taught, American folk artist who learned to communicate effectively through his art. His drawings differentiate from the norm in that they are created with any accessible materials, such as using stove soot as ink. While much of his acclaim came after his death, Castle has provided an unconventional approach to art that broadens the mind to contemplate.

Star Portraits with Rolf Harris PART 3/3 | Portrait of David Dickinson by Andrew James RP

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 03:28:02 +0000

Star Portraits with Rolf Harris (2004) is where a group of three professional portrait artists are assigned the task of painting a celebrity from life using their preferred style. The star then decides which portrait to take home with them.

On 18 January 2004, antique dealer and celebrity, David Dickinson was the subject. Three artists were asked to paint a portrait of David from a personal sitting including Andrew James RP. Weeks later the finished results were unveiled at The National Portrait Gallery and David was asked to choose his favourite, which he was allowed to keep. Andrew James’ painting brought a tear to David’s eye as he was confronted by a striking likeness to his Mother. The portrait now has pride of place in David’s home.

The full series can be bought from BBCshop.com, where you just need to search for Rolf Harris Star Portraits: Series 1
