Oil paintings on old train tickets
FTV recently did a special report on French artist Luc Grateau, who paints portraits of people on old Paris metro tickets:
Grateau started his project in 2004, and has since painted mini portraits of over 1,000 metro passengers. The FTV report shows Grateau painting two individuals on a train, as well as the Japanese reporter who interviewed him. Despite Grateau’s claim that it is difficult to paint the eyes of Japanese people, the reporter’s portrait turns out well.
