| * The purpose of drawing "celebrity portraits" is to prove that I am capable of capturing the likeness of an individual. And it also allows me the opportunity to experiment and practice with different materials and techniques without having to worry about possibly making a mistake on a commission. I generally keep finished celebrity pieces for my portfolio, but prints are available on some pieces upon request. |
