Whoopi Goldberg Portrait

I produced a painting of Whoopi Goldberg a while ago.

I decided to paint a black and white portrait and wanted a suitable subject...what better than a nun...and what better nun than Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act.

The painting took me a little over 2 hours and I videod the whole thing for you to watch. Don't worry...it's not 2 hours long...only just over 5 minutes. (see end of page for video)

After I completed the painting I decided to see what it would be like in colour and have included the image on the left.

If you would like to order your own portrait then feel free to contact me or visit the portrait order page for further details.

Enjoy watching the video. I would love to know what you think.

If you want your own favourite celebrity drawn and uploaded to YouTube then let me know who you would like drawn and I'll see what I can do.

If you are interested in obtaining a print of the Whoopi Goldberg portrait then please contact me.

I also have other famous celebrity speed painting videos on my YouTube channel.

Friends - Quick Portrait

This Friends quick portrait was completed in a couple of hours and shows the cast of 6 together.

Portraits are one of the many options available from talented and renowned artist Patrick Morrow over at www.DrawMe.com.au.

From quick portraits and caricatures to special commissioned hyper-realistic portraits, Patrick has a unique ability to capture a stunning likeness.

All that is required is a photo and a description for the background and Patrick will deliver a totally unique and stunning piece of art that will grace any wall for years to come.

Although the quick portraits only take a few hours, Patrick's hyper-realistic portraits can take over 40 hours to complete and are truly incredible.

Commissioned works can be completed at any size from a small 6" x 4" all the way to several metres in length.

Portraits by Patrick Morrow

Patrick Morrow has quickly developed a reputation as a top-quality portrait artist with his astounding attention to detail and the jaw-dropping likeness captured in his artwork.

What makes Patrick such an enigma is that he is not a trained artist but it is obvious that he has an exceptional gift.

Perhaps this is why some of the biggest companies in the world have sought his unique talent and he has already produced artwork for the likes of Qantas, Smiths, Sanitarium, Channel 4, Manchester Airport, Arnotts, Ernst & Young, Budweiser, Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber, and countless others.

Patrick is currently expanding his work to that of hyper-realism, a genre of painting that resembles a high-resolution photograph.  His work in this area is already astonishing!

It is surprising to most that Patrick has only been painting portraits for a few years.  This developed from his caricature business in Australia (www.drawme.com.au).  However, this has not hampered the development of his creativity and growth of his business and fan-base   

It has been reported that smaller samples of his portrait and hyper-realism work are now selling for $1000+ with larger commissioned artworks now commanding $10,000+

Patrick is a gentle and reserved guy, passionate about his work, with a commitment to his customers.  It is no surprise that Patrick regularly turns down large corporate works in order to focus on his 'everyday' customers, refusing to allow the corporate dollar to jump to the front of the queue.

In 2013 Patrick will be commencing work on a large hyper-realism piece.  Having delayed the start for over a year and with an estimated 18 to 24 months to complete the work this will be his biggest challenge to date.

Stay tuned for updates!

Hyperrealism - the next phase

I have been interested in the hyperrealism style of painting for some time now. I have dabbled with a few small projects but want to complete something of significance in 2012. I envisage this being an extensive project probably lasting a few months...yes, a lot of hours of work!

WHAT IS HYPERREALISM?

For those who do not know, hyperrealism is a genre of painting where the finished artwork actually resembles a photograph. Many people have difficulty in telling the difference...something I find myself discussing with visitors to my artwork at Eumundi.

I am currently looking for a major project to undertake. It will probably be for my own collection but I am open to commissions for businesses or private collections.

This will not be a caricature! What I am hoping to complete is something different to my usual work. This will be a hyperrealistic painting of significance.

At present I am leaning towards a landscape/cityscape...something depicting the essence of Australia. However, the idea of a portrait of significance also intrigues me.

Throughout 2012 I will be posting my progress with this project on this blog and/or my website.
