Portrait of Catherine, the Princess of Wales
It's likely that this reference was handpicked by the Duchess herself, adding an extra layer of significance to the project. However, a significant hurdle was the limited resolution of the available reference photo, which was no larger than a half postcard. The details were nearly indiscernible. To fill in the gaps, I referred frequently to the video about the creation of the National Gallery's portrait, where the photo was showcased. Painting Catherine from a picture no larger than a half-sized postcard proved to be an arduous and demanding task. I can proudly attest that I gave my absolute best to this endeavor and successfully completed it.
My mission was not just to replicate, but to imbue this digital artwork with the depth and texture characteristic of oil paintings. Stay tuned for updates on how the cotton canvas print captures this essence.
This piece represents a visible milestone in my journey of growth as a digital artist, a testament to my determination to surmount artistic challenges. It will hold a place of honor in our home.
I kindly ask for your understanding and leniency in assessing this portrait. It stands as one of the first portraits I've embarked upon, and I'm eager to continue refining my craft as I progress in my skills. Thank you for joining me on this artistic voyage.
