Man Holding His Portrait - Ren.Fest., 14x18 (cropped), Pastel - on Canson Mi-Teintes ...Click to Enlarge. ...This man had just finished sitting for his portrait. ...Successful portrait painting depends on good lighting. My portrait shop at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival was open and exposed on two sides and had a white canvas covering. This setup permitted diffused sunlight to reach my model but it was far from ideal. Depending on the weather conditions this lighting could vary from minute to minute and was usually my biggest challenge in painting these one-hour portrait studies. On dark overcast days, for example, it became necessary to imagine good lighting...and let my imagination serve me.
