Observations
Across all four renders, close-up faces are built from visibly worked paint, with directional strokes, ridges, and layered impasto rather than smooth digital surfaces. Saturated flesh tones, cool blues, dark accents, and abrupt blocks of color create expressive, partially abstract portraits whose features remain recognizable while dissolving into energetic brushwork.
