I have just completed a series of 7 portraits on poster backgrounds of a variety of people ranging from the military to politicians and professionals in various parts of the globe.

The commission for life like representations and accurate logos and emblems was an interesting project. I used acrylic paint as the paper couldn’t be stretched and I had to use as little water as possible so as not to damage the paper surface. The poster was attached very lightly all round with low tack masking tape which worked very well.

This is an interesting substrate to work on and I hope to do more portraits like this.

Pleased contact me if you are interested in something similar.
