Daniel E. Greene is known as one of the most important portrait artists in the US. He has created portraits of numerous leaders in industry, government, academia, science, art, medicine and other areas.
Greene works in oil for many of his portraits, but in fact he is a master of using pastel. During my study of A-level Art, Daniel D. Greene was one of the first artists who took my attention due to the high quality of his portraits; and by looking through his portraits allowed me to learn in different aspects in order to improve my painting skill of using pastel for portraits. For example, by learning from his portraits I realized that it’s very important that to capture the expressions and the appearance of the subject in order to create a little nuances that a photograph could never duplicate. Furthermore, I learnt the way how he plays with lights and shadows in order to make my portraits look more realistic.
