EDE Fine Art
Portraits in the style of the Renaissance Masters
Eric's full-color oil paintings are carefully crafted in the same manner as those of the Renaissance masters.
Charcoal drawing
Underpainting in verdaccio
Application of color
Finished painting

I begin with a charcoal drawing to get the proportions and composition just right.

Next, I do a gray-green underpainting to establish the correct values.

I apply color over the underpainting, using the values as a guide.

The finished product.
Watch this painting come to life from blank canvas to finished portrait.
