Greetings everyone! Happy Father’s Day!
This month, I am working on a very special portrait of a very special someone who is no doubt blushing red while she reads this presently, my lovely and beautiful Maria. 😊
I returned to a dry medium, so this portrait is colored pencil on drawing paper and only about half done, for those wondering why the background appears so faint.
For Maria’s portrait, I felt I should forgo any whimsical flourish in favor of a modern romanticism with a touch of realism, while leaning heavily on the awareness that I didn’t need to idealize her form at all, and simply drew what I saw in the picture reference.
My goal is for the portrait to come out direct, plain, and true.
If anyone is interested in commissioning a portrait, please feel free to reach out to me directly. 👌
I pray you have a wonderful rest of June.
Sincerely,
Elias K. Andrinopoulos
