Portrait of Vincent Price

5x8 Charcoal, graphite and ink on paper. There is hardly enough time or words to sum up Vincent Price properly. He was a teacher, an actor, a collector of art and a chef to name a few. He had a true philanthropists heart and was a man of many talents and a creative pioneer. He has left a fingerprint on our society and myself. In my portrait of Vincent, in every wrinkle I reproduced, in every mole I fastidiously drew and in every single hair I portrayed I see his achievements. There are many fine details in this portrait. You will see the veins in his eyes countered by the shine and drama I captured in them. You will see every wrinkle on his hand and every whisker in his mustache. It is designed to transport you back to the last film you may have seen him in and capture that vivid memory. As you study this piece you can almost hear his voice still speaking.

Excelent portrait. Really reveals some of the insides of the man.Not just a representation , i see it as being both dramatic and communicative.I can really interact with the man as he is interacting with me. Even more the esthetic part is impressive.The balance between dark zones and proportions of shapes both work and have an important role to the dramatic expression of the portrait.
