Fine Art Portraits by James Thomas

Fine Art Portrait making is all about capturing personality in the most attractive manner. I do this with great enthusiasm and a hard work ethic with more than 10 years of experience. Give the gift of significance with custom charcoal portraits. ​They bring an expressive life to the most beloved images in your resident's collection. I am a traditionally taught Fine Artist from Ohio. I've attended Columbus College of Art and Design and graduated from YSU with a Bachelors Degree in Design. I'm heavily influenced by Portraiture and Design. I believe the technique is just as important as the substrate used and the content shown. The technique must be as attractive as the subject matter, and the subject matter as attractive as the medium. As an artist, I am constantly polishing ways to manifest what beauty I have in my mind out into this world as effective as I humanly can. I want to create frozen moments for you to hang on your walls. What initially caught your eye when you saw someone? Was it love at first sight? Was it high praise of something they've achieved? What attracted you to that person? I want to capture this invisible force of attraction and illustrate it in the highest regard. I want to create moments of attraction for you. And the technique must be as attractive as subject matter, and the subject matter as attractive as the medium
