Portrait Art & Painting- Photo realistic by Marc Potocsky-CT
Norman Rockwell
I love portrait painting in all its styles and techniques, oil paint, acrylics, pastels, pencil/charcoal, colored pencils, water colors, etc. done lose or tight. But one of my favorite styles is photo realistic portraiture. All though I do enjoy painting portraits, I especially like portrait drawing, sharp focus, where the piece looks like a black and white photo.
Here are some of my favorite pieces by others and myself that I would like to share with you.

Portrait painting is a genre in painting, where the intent is to depict the visual appearance of the subject. The term is usually applied to the depiction of human subjects. In addition to painting, portraits can also be made in other media such as etching, lithography, photography, video and digital media.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_painting

The term ‘portrait painting’ can also describe the actual painted portrait. Portraitists may create their work by commission, for public and private persons, or they may be inspired by admiration or affection for the subject. Portraits are often important state and family records, as well as remembrances.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_painting

Watercolor – Macormack
Historically, portrait paintings have primarily memorialized the rich and powerful. Over time, however, it became more common for middle-class patrons to commission portraits of their families and colleagues. Today, portrait paintings are still commissioned by governments, corporations, groups, clubs, and individuals.
