I have been looking at Chis Crites work, he paints portraits on brown paper bags. He paints all kinds of people, the way he paints really shows the expression of the people. In his portfolio he has painted old people, famous singers, porn stars and my personal favouites convicted criminals. I like the way he captures the expressions of the people and the way they are feeling in the detail of the face and colours he uses. I like the use of the brown paper bag as the canvas, makes the image seem more gritty, down to earth and real putting the image on a common object.
