Portraiture became inspiring to me when creating form with color. It led me to creating faces rather than other subjects. I am also working with Graphite Pencil and I have a Gallery exclusively for Pencil. Pencil as I have mentioned is the best medium to acquire detail in my Artwork however there are many other factors in Portraiture especially of well known faces and characters that I like to portray. That is what my Portrait gallery is mostly about. I discovered there are many things involved in Portraiture other than form and creating a likeness. I have a small Portraiture Gallery of people created with Pastel and Pencil. So I feel capturing a likeness as well as representing personality in a Portrait can be difficult and even complicated. Not all my portraits are of Rock Stars and Song Writers but I have included NFL Stars as well as some of my own. Also not all of my Portraits that I have created are on this website.
