Portrait Painting


I sit down over coffee with one of my best friends, Mark Baral of Destination Arete, to discuss how to start pursuing portrait painting . Portraits are commonly attempted by beginners while being one of the most difficult forms of artistic expression. I give my opinions on marketing your art, what skill levels should attempt portraits, and how to stay motivated when results aren't what you want.
