1. Choosing medium |
|
To choose the right medium for your portrait can sometimes be a hard task. It usually all depends on the quality of your photographs, your personal taste and budget. I’m offering portraits in four different mediums that are;
Oils, Pencils, Coloured pencils and watercolours. If you aren’t sure about the quality of your photographs, just send them to my e-mail and I will give you my professional opinion about it.
Read the information about each medium below:

Oil paintings
“The impressive, realistic and lifelike medium that gives ultimate luxury”
My oil paintings are detailed and very realistic as I use techniques that were used by the old masters. I set several thin layers oil colours to create my portraits and I’m working many hours behind the easel in order to create a painting. I’m painting with a style of softness, using fine brush strokes.
The finest art materials are used to create my oil paintings and I stretch the canvas to the wooden frames my self because I prefer to use the finest quality linen canvas. My hand painted oil paintings are the perfect medium when you would like full colour backgrounds or combination portraits.
Oil painting prices: from 400€ |

Colored pencil drawings
“The very high detailed and delicate medium that gives life to the paper”
My coloured pencil drawings are created with help of the delicate Derwent Fine Art coloured pencils with my unique realistic technique. Usually I use more then 15 different fined tuned colours to create one colour to the subject, which also gives the proper impression of depth and lights. The coloured pencil gives an impression of shine and life in a way no other medium can achieve.
The colored pencils are my mid priced portraits but are almost as expensive as oils. With a colour palette of 120 different pencils drawn on heavy high quality paper it enables me to represent the subject I’m drawing with colours, lights and details with accuracy.
Coloured pencil prices: from 260€

Pencil drawings
“The traditional and classic medium that gives high impression of detail and contrast”
These drawings are realistic and highly detailed and enable me to create impressive lightening with contrasts required for a beautiful peace of art. The graphite pencil drawings are affordable because they take less time to complete then most other mediums. The drawings are very delicate and dynamic with a touch of the classic and timeless feeling.
The pencil drawings are created on thick high quality paper with graphite pencils of highest quality. I use both hard, light pencils and soft, dark pencils to create the perfect impression of detail and contrast. If you prefer a traditional and a bit dramatic portrait, then this is the medium for you.
Pencil prices: from 120€

Watercolour paintings
“The medium with expressive lights that no other medium can achieve”
My watercolour paintings are very expressive with both lights and colours at the same time as it’s realistic. Watercolours are a transparent medium and are used to paint in several layers to achieve the right colours and shadings and I use the paper as “the white” colour. It is done by leaving out the spots of light areas when applying colours around it.
A medium that demands to be painted by a careful, accurate hand because when applying colours wrong it’s impossible to correct. The watercolor paintings are created on very thick high quality paper especially selected for the watercolour medium and can be commissioned in smaller sizes.
Watercolour prices: from 80€ |
