Larger Portraits

These portraits are done in acrylic paint on a canvas or wood support (your preference). They are taken to a high level of finish with a focus on keeping a balance between tightness of detail and expressive brushwork. If you want a full body portrait that can be done here, or the portrait can be kept tighter based on preference.

Digital Portraits

These are painted using digital painting software. If you are on a budget or simply prefer to have a native digital painting this is the choice for you. Because of the ease of edits it takes less time to get these to a comparable level of finish. The expressive brushwork is retained in the digital painting, although not to the same degree as natural media.
