Painting of a person

"When you look in the mirror, what do you see?" a portrait painting of a woman looking in the mirror by Elena Morozova. Painting a portrait is captivating. There is a kind of wordless communication that happens between the artist and the sitter during the process. It takes a lot of focus and attentiveness, and there is so much beauty and character to be found on the face of the person #portraitpainting #oilcanvaspainting #portraitoilpainting

When painter Karin Jurick was in high school, she spent many days and hours going to train stations and museums so she could sketch the variety of people who came into her view. She would sketch fast, quickly filling up sketchbook after sketchbook, and it was just something she wanted to do – the more she did it, the better she got.
