Portrait Asap Rocky in multi - layer technique, realism Painting

Since I was a child, I liked the old masters. I constantly thought how they drew so beautifully, deeply. So I discovered the technique of the old masters, which is based on multi-layer painting. This technique allows you to do deep work, work with color in a way that you can never do in a painting in one sitting. I spent three months of work on this picture. Five dryings of the canvas were performed. When I drew this artist, I listened to his music, it inspires me, and the artist himself is very much inspired by his style, behavior, clothing, taste. I think I was able to convey what I wanted. I wanted to draw something modern, but in the old style, as it was done by the old masters. If you are interested in this work, I am always ready to communicate. You can write to me on instagram(vanes_malyshev), or on this site, thank you for your attention!
