Painting Process

For his fine artworks, Romeo paints using Old Masters painting techniques on a digital screen— brushstroke by brushstroke, hair strand by hair strand, grass blade by grass blade, feather by feather, wrinkle by wrinkle. With every mark made, he builds and shapes the details and emotions to bring the painting to life.


Romeo’s process begins with a rough pencil sketch, followed by the laying down of the base colour, to sculpting features, adding shadows and highlights, to working on the eyes, facial muscles and mood.

Romeo paints with traditional techniques on a digital screen to create captivating works that produce a unique fusion of classical beauty with a contemporary narrative.

PERUSE HIS PAINTING PROCESS:

Drawing quick portraits keeps Romeo Varga’s looking and seeing sharp which translates into better digital illustrative performance.
For his fine art paintings, the process always begins with immersion in the physical setting to connect with the energy of the space.
Romeo Varga uses the reductive technique as a regular exercise in his art practice to ensure he always sees differently.

For his agency-commissioned projects he works solely on digital, as the files can be sent over to clients immediately and any amendments to the art can occur swiftly and seamlessly.
