Painting portraits is the ultimate challenge, demanding precision to capture the essence of the subject. Unlike painting an apple, where minor imperfections can still be appreciated as art, a portrait must align perfectly to avoid being labeled "off."

There's a unique satisfaction in witnessing people admire your creation, completely unaware that the artist is standing right behind them.
