(Reflexions about to turn your photo into a painting.)<\/p>\n<p>Starting this post I had several questions in my mind; How to paint a portrait form a photo? All the pictures work for painting a portrait? Or a better one to start from the beginning&#8230; How to choose the right picture for a painting portrait? \u00a0This is the tricky question!<\/p>\n<p>I have recently started a new portrait.\u00a0It is not an easy one and this is due to a very simple reason. The pictures of the model that I have received are not professional (not at all) and sometimes this fact can easily transform what should be a grateful task into a nightmare. This is why I am starting this post.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I receive old pictures from people that would love a \u201cportrait of my mother\u201d, or a \u201cportrait of my grandfather\u201d, or even a vintage picture from some antique old family album. Those relatives from the last century.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9174\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9174\" class=\"wp-image-9174 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/portraitonpastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Photo-Man-Funny-Bushy-Beard-Vintage-Portrait-Old-Pictures-5x7-856x1024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/portraitonpastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Photo-Man-Funny-Bushy-Beard-Vintage-Portrait-Old-Pictures-5x7-856x1024.png 856w, https:\/\/portraitonpastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Photo-Man-Funny-Bushy-Beard-Vintage-Portrait-Old-Pictures-5x7-251x300.png 251w, https:\/\/portraitonpastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Photo-Man-Funny-Bushy-Beard-Vintage-Portrait-Old-Pictures-5x7.png 966w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9174\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Portrait photography of a man with moustache, probably 1910-20<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Maybe the quality of the picture is not good enough for painting a portrait. But since very old pictures where made with a complete different technology and were something precious, scarce and therefore special, most of them have a kind of soul. The paper, the tones, the materials used by then; The fact that they had to concentrate on the camera (Most of those pictures have a strong regard!)\u2026All of this makes them special photos. Inspiring for a Painter.<\/p>\n<p>How many times we have seen those old sepia photos and have imagined who that man or that woman was, where she lived or how he or she felt while posing for this unique photo in front of a professional and his old Wood camera. Those pictures are (most of them) special, and almost always have something to say to us. As a person or as an artist.<\/p>\n<p>I personally love to paint those photos! Even if they lack of details, definition, color, etc. They have atmosphere and a history to tell and this is where you can grab your intuition or your imagination and add something from your own. Even if a portrait is always an interpretation, be sure to mark to the client that your painted portrait will be your interpretation of the picture. Your interpretation rather than a copy of the photo.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9153\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9153\" class=\"wp-image-9153 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/portraitonpastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Photo-vintage-50\u00b4s-725x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/portraitonpastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Photo-vintage-50\u00b4s-725x1024.jpg 725w, https:\/\/portraitonpastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Photo-vintage-50\u00b4s-212x300.jpg 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9153\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Old portrait picture from 50\u00b4s<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Painting portraits from old pictures has his own magic. No concrete lines, soft and diffused images that gives us freedom and space for our own interpretation. You can try to recreate the color (something that I do not usually do) from Sepia or monochrome pictures or you can always work with a limited color palette creating your own version of the picture based on what you see on the picture&#8230; More or less the same happens with old (not so Antique) black and White pictures from the 40\u00b4s or 50\u00b4s. Or from some of the color pictures from the 60\u00b4s and 70\u00b4s. Even most of them lack in detail, they usually have their own power and they have a lot to offer for a painting if they are not too contrasted or burned.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9154\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9154\" class=\"wp-image-9154 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/portraitonpastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Photo-vintage-60\u00b4s-1011x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/portraitonpastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Photo-vintage-60\u00b4s-1011x1024.jpg 1011w, https:\/\/portraitonpastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Photo-vintage-60\u00b4s-296x300.jpg 296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9154\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vintage portrait Polaroid photo from 60\u00b4S<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The most common used lens in those time was the 50mm (which would be consider as a human eye point of view) and the majority of the pictures where taken by professionals by then.
