Guess who is the famous president depicted in this portrait sketch by UK artist, Elle Smith?
Elle always prepare a sketch before painting a portrait. This enables her to gain a feel for the characteristics of the person in the sketch, especially for expression lines in the face.

I have called my colourful art painting : “The Sun Never Sets On Conflict”. View my other conceptual art pieces here
