Portraits can be a painting, drawing, photograph or sculpture of a person, a group of people or even an animal. In a portrait you are trying to show personality, emotion or social status.
Many old portraits are paintings if the people were royalty or wealthy, this was because as photography started to develop it wasn't very expensive so most people could pay for these, so the wealthy people preferred to have paintings for their portraits.

Andy Warhol started painting portraits in the early 1960's, he painted many celebrities and famous people. He used polaroid cameras then used the silkscreen process. He also did many self portraits, he was most known for his pop art work.

I like Andy Warhol's images because of the non-realistic colours and how each image is unique.
