As a rule, a portrait artist will use his/her own face as a starting point.
Comes from all those years of practicing in front of a mirror.
Looks like Alec Baldwin.
That’s a FABULOUS picture!!
Its a crap painting. You could pick up a copy of American Art Collector magazine on any given month and find a dozen artists who could paint circles around this chick.
It’s not horrible, it’s just not good.
Sort of like when my father in law died. I went to the funeral home a few hours before the viewing to approve of the job they did. They had his hair combed in a way he never did it and it truly looked like someone else. They were able to correct it.
BTE, wanna see an absolutely atrocious official portrait? Go on the White House tour. At one point you can see the official Michelle Obama portrait. I think a racoon with a paint my numbers set could do a better job.
“The artist behind a portrait of Donald Trump in the Colorado State Capitol says her career could be in tatters now that the president has besmirched it on social media.“
Bull. One bad review or painting can’t change the “it” factor in art. If she has it she has it and that’s it. This portrait doesn’t look like Trump. You could duplicate the effect she painted by digitizing a pic of Trump in roughly the same position and scaling slightly smaller the eyes, nose and mouth.
She’s TDS, Only that sort of piece of crap would sell out their talent so easily.
“Am I the only one that thinks it looks very much like the artist,…”
Nope. I immediately thought the same thing.
It’s terrible. Learn to paint.
