Painted portraiture is a very beautiful subject and a very popular trend these days. Some call it fine art, others call it painterly portraiture, but the important thing is to have a well-characterized subject, dramatic lighting, a preferably hand-painted canvas background, and meticulous retouching.
I did this session for a good friend, Paulina Suástegui, also known as Zedkiel, a multidisciplinary artist whom I admire and appreciate greatly. She's a painter, DJ, model, makeup artist, costume designer, among many other things. She wanted vampire-style portraits with her kitties, but that gave the appearance of paintings, and I think we achieved that thanks to the beautiful characterization she created (hair, makeup, and wardrobe) and the work we did together!
If you want to learn how to make these backgrounds, I have a video tutorial on my YouTube channel:

As for lighting and retouching, you can learn about it in my Dark Portrait course here on Domestika!
El retrato pictórico es algo muy bello y una tendencia muy popular en nuestros días. Algunos le llaman Fine Art, otros retrato pictórico pero lo importante es tener un personaje bien caracterizado, una iluminación dramática, un fondo de tela de preferencia pintado a mano y un retoque minucioso.
Esta sesión la realicé para una gran amiga, Paulina Suástegui también conocida como Zedkiel, quien es artista multidisciplinaria a quien admiro y aprecio muchísimo. Es pintora, DJ, modelo, maquilladora, diseñadora de vestuario, entre varias otras cosas más. Ella quería unos retratos con sus gatitos en estilo vampira, pero que dieran la apariencia de ser pinturas y me parece que lo conseguimos gracias a la bellísima caracterización creada por ella (peinado, maquillaje y vestuario) y el trabajo que hicimos en conjunto!
Si quieres aprender a hacer estos fondos en mi canal de Youtube tengo un video tutorial sobre cómo hacerlos:

En cuanto a la iluminación y retoque lo puedes aprender en mi curso Retrato Dark aquí en Domestika!
