There are many types of portraits such as traditional portraits, candid portraits, glamour portraits, self-portraits, group portraits, lifestyle portraits, conceptual portraits, and many more. Painting portrait of a person in a traditional way uses oil paints and is a visual representation of that person.To create a strong portrait a few elements must be included in it. The main elements are location, technical setup, lighting, composition, and feel and emotions.
Portraits can be created using many different artistic mediums but popular forms of portraits are painting and photography. While painting a portrait it is important to consider many aspects.
- Materials that you are using to create a portrait, whether it is oil paint watercolor, or a mixture of different paints.
- Portrait-making can be a time-consuming process and if you create a portrait live, then that person may have to sit in the same position for a long time. Therefore, you should know the time needed to create a portrait beforehand.
- You should be aware of the size of the portrait as portraits normally range from small miniature size to a big wall spread portrait.
Nowadays it is possible to make copies and digital pictures can be taken of the finished paintings but these copies do not have that impact similar to the original portrait.
