Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II-Oil portrait by Sabbi Gavrailov

Portraits in Oils of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II painted in May 2022 by myself. The reference image of the portrait is an official photograph taken by Dennis Constantine in 1982 and it is currently in the Primary Collection of the NPG, London. Credit to Camera Press LTD for granting me the license to be able to create it. The planning took a month and the execution took just over four weeks.
The painting approach used was this of Titian the great Venetian master, using smokelike lines on the face (sfumato). This painting was unveiled yesterday on HMQEII Platinum Jubilee at the local gallery in Hemel Hempstead run by Dacorum Creatives Art Hub which I am part of.
The portrait will be on show during the month of June as part of a featured exhibition called "Anatomy of a portrait"
