Colin Davidson will show you how to really paint a portait

This wonât come as a surprise to people who are familiar with his warm and textured portraits â and that makes it all the more surprising to hear that, for him, the most important element in his portraits is in fact the parts he leaves out.
âIf somebody says when looking at a painting of mine they sense the spirit of the person in it, I canât lay claim to that,â says Davidson. âItâs the bits I leave, those unfinished bits or parts that are less than perfect which allow people in to fill the gaps.â
