Eric Clapton portrait study Print

A portrait study of Eric Clapton undertaken as loose realism in acrylic on canvas and set on a gallery stretch ready to hang. I always refer to the style of my are as loose realism and have been asked many times for an explanation. When setting out to create a work, I start from the point of final viewing distance of around 2 meters to play a little trick on the eyes. If a work is tight (fine detail) the more you stand back from the work, the more photographic it will appear and the painterly effect is lost. To overcome this I open up the brushwork making it loose, so the painterly effect is not lost when viewing, a trick introduced to the world by the impressionists. I do feel that art should look like a creation of brushwork which can be lost or found by the eye rather than a photographic likeness. All original works come with a certificate of authenticity and change of ownership from me the artist to you. Over the years I have been commissioned and undertaken portraits for rock icons and famous faces by their friends and families.
