These portrait paintings by Andrew Newton will put some photographers to shame. Newton paints faces and his rule book for his projects undoubtedly follows the saying, "go big or go home." He doesn't spare a whisker or a wrinkle in any of his paintings, making them seem as if they were created using high dynamic range (HDR) editing. These paintings will easily fool viewers into thinking they are edited photographs and send a jolt of surprise through their bodies when they get closer and realize that the replicas are handcrafted.
Andrew Newton is from a rare breed of detail-oriented painters and has ventured into paintings that encompass more scenic environments as well. His growth as an artist definitely holds potential for revolution within painting.
