Portraiture is a richly diverse and enigmatic genre of art that has been used for hundreds of years to record an image of our existence that is passed down and enjoyed by future generations. During the Renaissance, the discovery of oil painting allowed artists to develop and refine techniques that revolutionised the painting process.

Photography is an interesting two dimensional medium that records a momentary snap shot of the sitter. A portrait from life, or from a series of sketches, may not produce a photographic likeness. However, a painterly interpretation combined with the painter's observation of a sitter's character, arguably produces a much more interesting record that is proven to last for generations.
