Some recent portraits | Einige aktuelle Portraits

Since spring I quite frequently painted portraits and recently with people from the Vienna Sketchgroup. The ones among you, who do portraits, know what a drag it is sometimes. It is not only the resemblance I like to capture. It is more the essence of that person.

Seit Frühling habe ich immer wieder Portraits gemalt und in jüngster Zeit zusammen mit Leuten der Vienna Sketchgroup. Diejenigen unter Euch, die sich ebenfalls dem Portrait widmen, wissen, was für eine Mühsal es manchmal ist.
