Hi all, this is my painted version of Bartholomew Portugués (1669) (Andrea Miniatures, 54 mm).

It is an old work that won a gold medal in Argentine painting competitions.

Hope you like it and that it helps getting me back to painting more! Comments are welcomed!!

Best, Mariano

      Thanks Sergey! It means a lot coming from you. People should subscribe to your Patreon. It is game changing and provides a significant impact to paintors -such as myself- who are far behind your pedigree/level. Looking really forward to continue learning -and improving- from you. So Big Thanks my friend and don’t stop, keep moving forward. You are gifted and also constant, which makes you complete and no. 1, at least to me. Best, Mariano

    Mariano, me gustó la paleta, los rojos de la parte posterior me parecieron excelentes, gran iluminación general y los detalles en la cara muy buenos. Me parece muy equilibrada. Oro para mi.
