It is my intention to publish in the future even more of everything I know about portrait painting .
And I want this information to be free for everyone. Some compensation for my efforts comes from the publicity which you see appearing occasionally. I hope you don't find it too annoying.
Until now I received the most nice and grateful reactions from all over the world.
And that gives me a lot of satisfaction.

In my blog you will find even more information about portrait painting and a free eBook “One hundred portraits”: http://www.paintingportraittips.com
