Archbishop
This was my most recent commission. The painting is in oil and measures 32" x 24".
I had to deal with two light sources, from the both left and right side, so I painted right side of my sitter's face in cooler tones (though they were not actually there, because both light sources were warm) to achieve illusion of third dimension.
On this photograph, all colours shifted to the warm side of the spectrum, and I noticed some other changes, (for instance, his right hand is whole value darker than in original painting, while left hand looks pretty much as on photo), but, as someone said, reproduction is just an information on painting.
