These are some of the many portraits painted by Dennis Orlowski. Here is the portait process of Rev. Mark Behenna This portrait was painted for the entrance lobby of Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church matching the style of previous artists' paintings in the lobby.
Instead of working form a photo like the previous artists did, Dennis had the chance to have Pastor Mark pose himself. As a result, the portrait was done entirely from life without photo references.
The pastor posed 15 times in 1 hour sessions in the church lobby. Church members could view the progress that Dennis made each week on the portrait.
This was not only a stimulating experience for the artist, but an educational one for those that viewed the artistic procedure. |
