Research into portraiture and painting


11/06/15



As part of my experimentation and developmental work for this project, I intent to use numerous different media to build up a portfolio of experiments. As I have not yet used acrylic, and was keen to try, I will be looking at various different portraiture artists and their techniques and will try to incorporate some of them, or at least develop my own style using my research.

Charmaine Olivia:

Charmaine Olivia uses a lot of colours and creates pieces with an ethereal image. Her work incorporates as much colour as possible, as well as elements of nature, such as flowers and water, as I wish to do. The people she paints are all female and all have some ethereal qualities, such as their beauty. She paints well known faces as well as people she creates. The faces of her subjects are flawless at first glance, and the brushwork is very obvious surrounding it.

While Zaria Foreman does not specialise in portraiture painting, her talents lay in painting water, which I will be hoping to incorporate into my own artwork. She works in large scale and puts detail slowly into everything she produces. She specialises in Realism.

Marisa Parga uses water colours, and are less flawless. You can see the blocks of colour used and the over laping colours within her work.
