Portrait Painting of Rihanna: Oil Paint, Color Pencils and Illustration Markers Joy of Painting

Posted by admin on March 10th, 2010 and filed under portrait painting | 21 Comments »

My process 1.) Sketch 2.) Illustration Markers 3.) Color Pencils and 4.) Oil paint. Sometimes I add even more steps with Photoshop, but I didnt for this portrait. I wanted to see how far I could push oil paint as a medium. I prefer painterly realism to photorealism (photo realistic stuff gets boring…..whats the point of simply reproducing a picture?). I was satisfied with the results, despite my unorthodox approach to making this….(painting? work of art? mixed media?….I dont know what to call it.) The markers were Prismacolor and Chartpak Ad. The color pencils were Prisma and the oil paint was Old Holland, Maimeri, Vasari, Bloxx, Grumbacher and Holbein Colors. I used Liquin as a paint medium. I used Flat, Round and Filbert Brushes and occasionally a fan brush (for delicate blending). This time lapse speed portrait consolidated four hours in to less than four minutes.

Annigoni: Portrait of an Artist

Posted by admin on March 6th, 2010 and filed under portrait artist | 6 Comments »

This award-winning critically acclaimed motion picture is based on the life and times of the last century’s most famous portrait painter, Italian master Pietro Annigoni. From his artistic birth in Florence, to the height of his fame and fortune Annigoni pursued his own path, standing alone against the forces of modernism. Annigoni was a bohemian, a drinker, a fighter and a womanizer, yet the world’s most powerful and celebrated people sought him out for portraits. Pietro Annigoni was once called the painter of beautiful women but chose instead to be the painter of beggars.

“The 100 best Movies you’ve never seen!” Richard Crouse “Exquisite a superb and memorable film” The Globe & Mail “A stirring and compelling work” Geoff Pevere. Music by Stefano Burbi performed by Orchestra da Camera Nova Harmonia di Firenze.
