He has an impressive client list of hundreds including businessmen and women, scholars, professionals including physicians and lawyers, and other men, women and children. A native of Chicago, Carlson studied commercial art at Western Illinois University and continued his education at the American Academy of Art in Chicago and the Art Students League in New York. His mentors include distinguished portrait artists Joe Bowler, John Howard Sanden, and Michael Del Priore. Carlson seeks to accomplish in his paintings: "enough detail to satisfy but not bore the viewer." Always intent on refining his painting techniques, he is intrigued with the variations and applications of color and is continually experimenting with various palettes to achieve the most realistic skin tones, the most lifelike features. He finds children enchanting subjects and oil portraiture a superb medium for conveying the spontaneity and vivacity typical of many of his young clients. If you are interested in commissioning Craig Carlson for an oil portrait, please contact Arnold McRae, President of LEONLOARDCOMMISSIONEDPORTRAITS, at 800.270.9017.
