Description
Here's a portrait done in oil paints on an oil primed panel. I haven't entered anything for quite a while, but lately I've been focusing on hyper-realistic portraiture. This one is still in progress. I expect it will be done in a couple of months - hopefully!Related content

this is the most realistic portrait I've ever seen.

Thank you! For this painting I used a green grisaille; the same technique that I used for "Transitions" which is explained in my blog, [link]

VERY IMPRESSIVE The quality of your Glasings ...
.. thinking that your "Deathlayer" behind its not with "all that quality" ... Yu do a hell of a work after ...
For all that SubSurface scatering everywere - do you use any of William Bouguereau "ebauche" technique ?
Also yu do use the "Color Checker" technique by the inch to do your all photographic color seamless isnt ...
By the way how long do yu take to do such thing ...
And what size it is ?
And how much are yu expecting to sell such master work ... just wandering.
THANKS SO MUCH For sharing ...
CONGRATULATIONS For the Achivments .
Good luck - a Very happy new year !
See us around.

First of all, thank you much for the nice compliment! I use monochromatic under-paintings, usually no more than three colors. This one was done with Viridian Green, and Yellow Ochre, plus black and white to establish the values. Than I glaze over them with multiple layers. I love William Bouguereau, and I have used variations of his technique. I sold this painting for $7,000 shortly after completing it in 2008.

Please a pair of questions: you use oil glazes or thin opaque layers wet in wet?
It is a method of layers? Or it is direct painting?
Thanks for the answers!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I use a combination of both glazes, and direct painting. I usually do a very detailed monochromatic under-painting, which then gives me the freedom to experiment with glazes, and scumbles. I allow some areas of the under-painting to come through, and other areas (particularly in the lights) I build up opaquely with many thin layers.
