This is a pretty amazing painted portrait which looks like it could be a photograph. Artist Dru Blair created the work in 2005, and he shares step by step images as well as the interesting story behind it. He says “This is a painting completed in February 2005. It was a Portrait Class project that I decided to finish in my spare time after the workshop. It probably took a total of around 65-75 hours to complete. The main colors are blocked in at the beginning, but refinement is withheld until the very end.”
