It's so true that the facial expression and the kinetics of the hands in a natural attitude, reveal much of the personality of the subject. If possible, I always include the hands in the painting, many artists avoid them because of the difficulty. However, it adds so much to the portrait that's impossible to gain any other way Thank you Tuva for your insiteful comments. I admire you teaching methods.

As having taught art for 34 years to hs students, portraits were an important part of my teaching. We tackled the most difficult subjects such as hands and faces. It was remarkable what the students could do. Often I paint strangers who capture my attention and then I use those in competitions. It is so rewarding to see how my portraits touch people.--Tuva Richard, I appreciated your take on portraits.
