A portrait artist is someone who captures the essence of their portrait subjects and expresses it through art. Renowned portrait artists bring out the unique beauty that lies within each individual, making them appear extraordinary in all their complexities. Through the practice of painting, sketching, photography and sculpture, portrait artists draw out each subject’s personality and tell a story about them. Portrait artists take all aspects into account, from facial expressions to wardrobe selections. Their goal is to reveal the traits and emotions that identify who someone is at that time in their lives so they can be immortalized on canvas. An excellent portrait artist will be highly skilled in creating works of art that accurately represent their subject’s true identity while capturing their spirit and energy in an unforgettable portrait.
