About portrait painting:

I have been interested in portrait painting since a very early age - arguably it is the most complex form of painting as you are dealing with the human face which everybody has a very good visual understanding of.

I want to share the techniques, ideas and concepts I have gained from my painting practice and document new developments with my work in this site.
