I like James Jeans use of colour and broad brush-strokes add a level of depth to the character in the painting.
Jeff Simpson, in these two paintings in particular, uses overplayed imagery and symbols. I could employ similar devices with subtle symbolic shapes, thus giving a more personal dimension to my own portrait. Whilst still retaining a reserved nature to the overall painting.
John Singer Sargent has very visible brush-strokes adding a liveliness to his paintings. This type of technique could breath live into an otherwise sombre and very clean looking my painting.
