Oil Paintings

Some of my paintings and sketches....

I was trained in watercolor during my early school days. Oil painting is something I self-taught in later years.

My techniques and a practice are not very professional....I'm a perfectionist fanatic, meaning I wanted to replicate the original as much photorealistic as possible.

I selected only originals ( photographs ) as the master for my paintings.

One the few paintings I still hold. Guess I painted this in 1994, during my college days. Saw the original photograph in a coffee table book. Looking at this painting, many thought it as a photograph. Yes it's a photograph of a painting of a photograph!

There was a very popular poster called 'The Peruvian Boy'. I liked the reddish skin tone. This is shot during the base layer painting.
