We respect artists who prefer to create portraits exclusively from life and do not acknowledge the validity of painting from photographs. For them, this approach truly works! Vitaliy Ruban believes that achieving maximum resemblance to a photograph allows the character and inner world of a person to naturally emerge in the portrait. He argues that capturing a person’s inner essence is challenging when an artist uses a rougher brush technique. In such cases, the artist must possess exceptional talent and skill to place bold, textured strokes precisely where they are needed and where they will be most effective. When it comes to creating a portrait from a photograph, the quality of the photo itself is crucial. It is best to choose photographs taken by professional photographers. Unlike the average person with a camera, professionals know how to expertly set up lighting during a shoot, highlighting depth, minimizing flaws, and emphasizing key features.
