Can you imagine how Yan Sun managed to paint the portrait of a family of three (or four!)? Can you envision how the family members posed for their portrait?

"A German Family" is one of the portraits Yan Sun created overseas in a beautiful town in Germany! The friendly meeting and conversation between the family and the artist set the ideal atmosphere to start the painting. As the three family members posed for the portrait, their little cute dog joined in!

Yan Sun began by sketching the whole family and then painted each model one by one. To complete the painting, the artist had the family members sit together for final adjustments.
