As an artist, portrait painting should not be something that gives you problems. Most portrait painters prefer painting photos that they really like. This is because painting these is easy and enjoyable

Here are a few tips for portrait painters planning on painting photos.

‘     The first thing to do if you want to make a very good portrait is selection your favourite photo. This will help you to produce the best portrait because you will not want to ruin it. There are many portrait painters who select just any photo that they come across without knowing that it can be a source of de-motivation.

‘    Then go to the websites to look for artists who have done several photo portraits. This will help you to know approximately how much it will cost you and the procedures that those pro artists use to make a great painting.

‘    Once you get the artist, make sure that they are the artists who put the emotions and personality in their work. If the artists are available online; you can talk to them so that you can further understand what is available.  The information they give you will be very crucial and you can incorporate it in your painting photo.

‘    Request the artists to give you as much information as they can. The information is free.  In any case that you feel that you may experience some difficulties, ask for their opinion on what would be the best way to go about it.

‘    You can post the photo that you want to paint to them. The artist will advise you on the possible changes that you can make to make it even look better. Ask on the best colours to use. You can also share with the artist what you are thinking so that it won’t look as though they are suggesting everything to you.

‘    Once you get all the information that you need, pick a style that will be more real and also one that will be impressionistic. The background chosen will determine how the whole portrait will look like.

‘     Be very cautious on the medium that you chose to paint. The colours and their tone   must be of a good quality so that the painting will last for a long time.  Buy the best quality colours and brushes that will help you to do the best job.

‘     Before you can start on the painting, make sure that you understand the whole procedure that will be used. This will help you not to skip some very important stages. Also understand the cost that the whole process will take.
