Portrait Painting: Foundational Likeness

Описание: Painting a portrait can be a challenge and the most difficult part is in the beginning. In this video I want to show you a very simple way that I lay in a foundation to any portrait I paint and how to capture the likeness. I hope you find it helpful!

Below are all the links to the various things I mention in my videos. Scroll down to find my personal web site, if interested in this painting, or join my blog, sign up for my newsletter- whatever! Have a wonderful weekend, my friends!
