they've should've gotten Chuck Close to do it. -- nm - znufrii Jan 23, 14:13 1
- there's a whole stable of Royal Academy artists who could have done it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 14:14

- She doesn't look 45 and bloated in the photo. At least not to me. She does in the painting. -- nm - Diva Jan 23, 14:07 1
  - we were talking about this in my portrait class on Saturday. Our teacher has painted famous people herself and she hates it. - loosilu Jan 23, 14:10
- as a (wannabe) portrait artist, I completely disagree. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 14:06
- I'm kinda with you on this. The painting looks very much like the photo. -- nm - Jim Jan 23, 14:03
- I see a bunch of differences, notably the contrast. He put it all in her face, everything else is washed out, and it brings out all the bad details in - Guigue Jan 23, 14:01 1
  - yep. -- nm - b. Jan 23, 14:18

- Photo? If I'm having a royal portrait done I am posing for that f*cker. -- nm - con_carne Jan 23, 13:58 5
  - That particular artist probalby does not work from life. That's his style. Photorealistic paintings are always done from photos. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 14:07
  - that's a lot of time. -- nm - Andie Jan 23, 13:59 3
    - Most of them do sit for the painter at least a few times. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 14:07
    - So a few plaques will go unveiled. We're talking British royalty here. -- nm - con_carne Jan 23, 14:06 1
      - in most cases, for official portraits, they will sit for it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 14:08
- but, puffier. -- nm - Andie Jan 23, 13:58
she looks bloated and 45. -- nm - Andie Jan 23, 13:56
