Chiaroscuro Self Portrait

Freelance painter from South Africa. I specialise in figurative oil paintings, and the occasional realistic style. My figurative portraits normally take between 15 and 50 min. I like to keep my strokes un-blended and raw, so you can see the entire journey. I run workshops and art classes in my home town of Pretoria, where the main aim here is to cultivate a sense of confidence within yourself to be able to create fluently without self judgment slowing you down or changing the true authenticity of the artwork.
