"The character of a face in a drawing depends not upon its various proportions, but upon a spiritual light which it reflects." Henri Matisse
To capture that light is a never ending challenge, a quest I started as a child with my first portrait at age 11.
I absolutely love painting the human face and never tire of the endless variety of lines, values and forms.
Discovering the subtle colors in flesh tones and portraying the emotions behind the gaze is what conitnues to inspire me. Portraits are an excellent way to honor a loved one or capture a special moment in your life. They are treasures to be handed down for generations.
They can be painted in a contemporary style or a traditional pose. Click here for the commission fee and procedures: http://www.daggistudio.com/other1
