SCROLL TO DISCOVER ↓
01 · INSIDE THE STUDIO
Painting Without
Wet Paint
A long-form illustrated study of how one portrait was developed through a digitally simulated Renaissance oil-painting process—from prepared ground and underdrawing to glazing, surface detail and the final master.
02 · FINISHED PORTRAIT & INTERACTIVE STUDY
A Girl with
Presence
The completed second portrait appears here in full. Select the artwork to enter its dedicated interactive study, examine the eye, lips, skin, locs, cardigan and collar at macro scale, and discover how expression, edge control, tonal layering and sustained attention give the painting its presence.
03 · NEW ARTWORK & INTERACTIVE STUDY
Maternal Gaze:
A Contemporary Renaissance
A mother and daughter meet each other’s gaze in a portrait of connection, strength and inheritance. Enter the dedicated artwork study to examine their expressions, the layered skin and hair, the red drapery and the aged ground—and see how sustained attention to every surface gives the image its emotional and material presence.
