I don’t often post portraits on the blog as the commissions don’t get posted and I rarely paint models anymore. Here is a 6-shot head painted while teaching a short course in my studio.
One thing I’ve often found interesting as a portraitist is how some people are more beautiful when they move, and others just glow when they are still.
Update: Here’s another. This one was just a couple of hours.
Just amazing Mr.Dalessio, very reminiscent of Sargent. If you don’t mind me asking, how many sittings did this painting take to arrive at this level of finish? I would love to see and (I’m sure I’m not the only one ) would greatly benefit from looking at some detail shots. Etherway, this is one beautifully painted head and I thank you for sharing it and safe trip to Albania!
