About

Oil paint is a traditional medium consisting of pigments suspended in oil, typically linseed oil, which allows for a range of textures and depths in painting. It has been used by artists for centuries to create rich, vibrant artworks with a long drying time that enables blending and layering.

Observations

Across all four portraits, recognizable faces are built from visible, layered brushwork rather than smooth photographic rendering. The style combines earthy, restrained colors with expressive directional strokes, textured paint surfaces, cropped close-up framing, and carefully modeled facial features.
