There is no specific order to the following images...
Alice Neel
I like her use of a single outline and also the way she uses high contrasts to represent the light direction as it falls across the figure.
Luc Tuyman
Tuyman paints portrait highly saturated with light, his portraits look like photographs.
Now for something a little more dramatic...
Dawn Mellor
Tim Benson
You can follow Benson on facebook, he regularly updates his status with new paintings. He has a similar style to Lucien Freud, it is expressive and impressionistic, you can see the brush strokes clearly.
Lucien Freud
Michele Meister
Meister uses found materials to make a collaged surface to work on.
Elizabeth Peyton
Peyton paints portraits of celebrities like Dawn Mellor but less gruesome!
Pablo Picasso - Abstract Impressionism.
John Currin
Vincent Van Gogh
Andy Warhol made prints of celebrity.
