The Thrill of Painting a Portrait

I feel that one of the greatest accomplishments in my painting career is finally getting the feel of how to accurately paint a portrait. I believe that not all artists have a knack of getting that feel of how to put someones 3 dimensional face on a 2 dimensional canvas. I have done a lot of research over the past year and have done 3 portraits to date. I feel like I have progressed on each and I hope to continue to get better the more I do. It really gives me a thrill to see the face coming together, and begin staring me right in the eyes just like I'm actually looking at the person I'm painting. Here are my portraits to date, tell me what you think! More to come! Visit my website www.emoilart.webs.com
