Approaches to Portraiture

The portrait is a constant throughout the history of art, dating back thousands of years and taking many forms; drawings, paintings, sculpture and eventually, photography. Artists created portraits for royalty and common folk alike, often using it as a way to make a living. Many artists drew and painted self-portraits as a way of exercising their skills and trying new techniques.

There are many approaches to take when creating a portrait; in the choice or application of the medium or in the pose and/or environment of the subject. A portrait can be a meticulous and faithful reproduction, a loose sketch or even a caricature. The important thing is to capture some sense of the subject’s character or personality.
