His style was to have a person sit or stand in dark room and light a candle, this produced his signature painting style.

I think artists that do only portraits and figures are truly given a gift from God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes a painting is more realistic than s photo snapped by a photographer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
