Find The Best Oil Portrait Artist In Nyc

By Iva Cannon


All oil paint is slow drying and has particles of pigment mainly linseed oil incorporated into it. The thickness of the paints can be changed by adding turpentine as well as white spirit also known as paint thinner. When seeking an oil portrait artist in NYC clients can also add varnish so that the end results show a very lustrous finish.

Paintings that are done with oil have been around since the twelfth century in Europe and they were done for decoration purposes. It only became an artist's method around the fifteenth century. It has of late been used in paint on glass animation; this is a way of making animation films by using the slow drying paint on large sheets of glass. A Russian by the name of Aleksandr Petrov has won many awards with this method and has used them in seven different films.

He has been awarded many awards and was placed first in the Portrait Society of America for their International Portrait Competition. He was also a finalist for receiving second place as well as honor awards for three years running in the American Society of Portrait Artists Competition. His portrait of Julia gave him an Honorable Mention in the Artists Magazine Portrait Competition. There were thousands of entries and his was one of six selected.

Nanette Flehr has over twenty years experience in creating portraits and many hang in public collections all around the world. One of her most famous is the "Portrait of my Grandfather" and this was placed in the top ten out of over two thousand entries sponsored by the Artist's Magazine. She received the Martin F. Weber award at the Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club and a year later her portrait of Phyllis was exhibited.

His realistic painting in oil is an eleven day workshop and starts on the third of August 2015. This class will help one to use tactical thinking as well as getting to know different techniques. One will be shown how to paint a life like painting, as well as learning how to add one's own style. A field trip to the New York Metropolitan Museum of Arts will take place on the eighth where one can examine many of the greatest paintings. These will then be broken down and analyzed and students will be told how they inspired Marvin to develop his own technique.

He will also be giving a portrait drawing workshop from June the first to June the fifth 2015. The main goal for this class will be to grasp the techniques as well as being able to think strategically. For those that would like to enhance their drawing skills or to just be able to create portraits this is a definite must. He will also be giving demonstrations to those attending his classes.

Her workshops in Portrait Drawing cover the heart of capturing the physical resemblance as well as the personality and inner essence of the model. The most important technique that is taught in this class is the ability to develop the appearance as well as the gesticulation and the atmosphere of the model. Demonstrations always take place and she will offer individual critiques.

His students that have previously learned from him say that he enjoys seeing each individual person progress and is very selfless when it comes to sharing his knowledge. He has the ability to take a beginner and make them into an experienced artist with just one class. Marvin has the ability to explain color, light and form so that it makes perfect sense.
