Culture/Portrait paintings

Empress series, these paintings have been developed from sketches and photographs and was put into a group exhibition.

This the beginning process of a sketch turned into a pinting.

This is the end result of my portrait of a friend, this portrait was a little tricky. Where in the end I decided to go with different combinations of complimentary colours.

i liked the scale I worked on to produce this image, I like the size of this canvas where I plan to work on this scale canvas in future portrait projects.

This image came from a photography of my cousin, I liked the dark and light colours within the photo, which gave it an elegant feel. I also liked how the photo looked as if the person is a silhouette

This shows a lot of African culture, it reminds me of the paintings that I grew up to see and the similarities.

This is another sketch that was developed into a painting. I had a lot of trouble with choosing and settling with colours and scale.
This page includes alot of my culture sketches that have been succesfully created and visaulised as paintings. I've also included successful portrait paintings that were originally sketchhes.
