Contemporary Portraits - Traditional Methods
Candace Elizabeth Eaton paints portraits - both formal and informal, in traditional or contemporary settings - using only the portrait painter's trained eye and hands. Even when life sittings are inconvenient or not available, as in the case of the memorial portrait, the artist views and paints from the photographs as if it were a live sitting. The image is never projected onto the canvas and simply coloured in, nor does the portraitist go with the trend of painting on a "pre-printed" canvas. Only original drawing and painting in the time-honored traditions are created in this studio.
Candace Elizabeth Eaton paints portraits on the finest quality Belgian linen from life sittings or photographs. An interview about the subject is essential, especially when the portraitist is painting a commemorative portrait
