Los dibujos realizados del natural son una dificultad y un reto a lograr pero muy emocionante su realización. La persona posa ante el pintor y este debe de captar todo su caracter y expresión que le caracteriza sin adulaciones y sin llegar a la caricatura. No se piede ser buén artista si no se capta el espíritu de la persona retratada...                    

                         Portraits From Life
                          
Puerto de la Cruz

On this page I would like to show you portraits done very quickly (1,5 hours) which I did here in  Puerto de la Cruz (Tenerife) durindg the summer months live subjects. This type of work is carried out much quicker than in a studio using photographic reference material and allows more room for improvisation and artistic licence, where the most important thing is to capture the essence and spirit of the person portrayed.

In my opinion, working directly with live subjects is good exercise for any painter.

Obviously you need to be here to pose for this type of work so why not take a holiday here in the beautiful town of Puerto de la Cruz where we might just meet up in one of its lovely spots such as the Martiánez promenade.
