Preserve the original: - Facial features, identity, expression, and proportions. - Head angle, pose, and composition. - Lighting direction and overall arrangement of light and shadow. - Clothing, hairstyle, background, and other recognizable details. Do not invent a new face, change the pose, or create six different subjects. Each panel must be a different visual treatment of the same reference. ## The six painting studies **1. Grayscale value study** Convert the photograph into a monochromatic painting study. Simplify the image into large groups of light, middle, and dark values. Use broad, painterly transitions and eliminate unnecessary detail. **2. Geometric plane study** Simplify the subject into angular shapes that describe the underlying three-dimensional form. Use clearly defined planes on the forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and other major forms. Keep the tonal organization readable. **3. Simplified color masses** Use a limited range of natural colors and organize the image into large, connected color shapes. Reduce small details and subtle variations. The result should resemble a simplified oil painting block-in. **4. Faceted painterly study** Create a more angular interpretation with visible, confident brushstrokes and distinct color patches. Simplify transitions into larger shapes while preserving the subject's structure and expression. **5. Soft-focus study** Simplify the photograph through broad, soft transitions between values and colors. Reduce fine details while preserving the major shapes, proportions, and overall light-and-shadow pattern. **6. Selective-detail painterly study** Create a more developed oil-painting reference. Keep the most important features relatively precise, while simplifying less important areas, softening selected edges, and using visible but natural brushwork elsewhere. ## Style and presentation - Use a traditional oil-painting study aesthetic, not cartoon, anime, or digital illustration. - Maintain coherent values and believable color relationships. - Keep the original color palette where appropriate, except for the grayscale study. - Avoid excessive texture, random color patches, artificial outlines, or decorative effects. - Make each of the six treatments visibly different and useful for learning to paint. - Arrange the six panels in a clean, evenly spaced 3 × 2 grid. - Use the same crop and aspect ratio in every panel. - Do not add text, labels, borders, watermarks, or extra elements. The final result should look like a professional set of painting references prepared by an instructor to teach simplification, value grouping, planes, color masses, brushwork, and edge control.
