👉 A portraitist is a type of artist who creates paintings or drawings that depict a person's face. These artists often use techniques such as perspective, shading, and composition to create realistic depictions of faces. Portraitists are known for their ability to capture the unique features and expressions of individuals in a way that is both accurate and visually appealing. They may also be known for their willingness to explore the boundaries between realism and abstraction, creating works that blur the line between the two.
