In this manuscript, we describe a process that can be used to create still and/or animated portrait paintings to be shown in Expressive Art Exhibit. Our process consists of two stages: (1) Creation of control textures for a Barycentric shader by using color information gathered from photographs to provide realistic looking skin rendering; (2) Filtering and compositing the layers of images that are obtained by control textures, which correspond to effects such as diffuse, specular and ambient. To demonstrate proof-of-concept, we have created a few rigid body animations of painterly portraits under different lighting conditions.
