Stephanie

This striking portrait of Stephanie was created as a demonstration for Andrew Tischler’s Portrait Tutorial series, showcasing his refined technique and deep understanding of traditional oil painting. Painted entirely in one session using the wet-in-wet method and Olegel as a medium, this piece captures the immediacy and vitality of Tischler’s process.

Employing the powerful Zorn Palette—limited to just four colors—Tischler renders a full range of luminous skin tones and nuanced transitions of light and shadow. Stephanie is illuminated by a dynamic lighting setup: a warm spotlight, cool window glow, and subtle fluorescent light, all contributing to the painting’s dramatic and sculptural presence.

This original painting is more than a demonstration—it’s a testament to Tischler’s commitment to craftsmanship and his distinctive approach to portraiture. Painted on premium Italian linen with professional-grade oils, Stephanie is a rare and valuable opportunity for collectors to acquire a signature work from Andrew Tischler’s portfolio.
