In most cases, clients are drawn to the process of creating a portrait. Some of them want to check if everything is going smoothly with their order. Even though the risks are calculated, there’s still some understandable anxiety after making a deposit. Clients are often curious to see their portrait at the initial and intermediate stages of the process. However, the artist usually declines such requests until the portrait is completed. This is because, as shown in videos, the early layers of the painting are, to put it mildly, unappealing. This stage can cause unnecessary doubt or confusion for the client. The best moment to appreciate the portrait is when it’s fully completed and displayed proudly on the wall of its happy owner—whether that’s the client or the recipient of the gift. Here, you can see all the stages of the portrait’s creation from start to finish. The video captures the entire process, from the 'rough groundwork' to the finer details added in the final layers. The most time-intensive and nerve-wracking stages are the last ones, as it’s during these final steps that the likeness and recognizable features of the subject emerge. One young man decided to delight his girlfriend on her birthday with an exquisite and exclusive gift—a truly unique gesture.
