And I wouldn't exactly say a lot of historically great portrait painters tried to be hyperrealistic at all tbh. The main thing is that they were able to convey the mood/expressions of a subject well. But yeah, there is just something insanely cool in having a fantastic oil painting portrait done of yourself as a commission. Definitely. You do still see those types of realistic portraits and portrait commissions today, but they are nowhere near as good as in the 19th century and earlier. I wish more celebrities would commission portraits. --- https://imgtc.com/i/7cQjt43.jpg https://i.imgtc.com/UISXfjE.jpg <cite>Vol2tex posted [p:922967625] in Anybody el...
