Round Glasses Portrait Painting, Original Graphite Acrylic on Wood Block, 11x14
Illustration 1 is an original round glasses portrait painting by independent artist Markus Lewis, drawn on a wood block in graphite pencil and black acrylic. A bespectacled figure tips a cup of tea up to their mouth, the round lenses shaded gray so the eyes stay hidden and the expression is left to the glasses.
The hair is the boldest move: a heavy mass of black acrylic swept to one side, with a few slits of bare wood cut through it. Big leaf-like brushstrokes curl in from the corners, and loose gray graphite scribbles fill the space between. The cup is patterned with quick black dashes, and a hand with finger lines wraps around it. The natural wood grain shows through the face and ground, so the warm tone of the panel stands in for color.
The piece is bold, expressive, and clearly hand-drawn, with a playful, slightly mysterious mood. At 11" x 14" x ½", it’s the right size for a gallery wall, a shelf, or leaning on a console. It makes a memorable gift for tea lovers and fans of figurative art, and it suits a kitchen, tea room, or café.
