Description
Yes, I love the smell of graphite in the morning! Did some sketching of the one photo reference I have of meself. Some drawing, some scanning, some magic with me favorite wares and viola! The trick she is done! Did this pix as a gift for me 93 year old Mum. Prolly give one to The Internationally Recognized Opinionist Herself as well. That's right! It's a Self-Portrait done with the help of the Trouble and Strife and me old mate Keith Hawley. Juni the IROH is a fine untrained artist and photographer who simply will not admit she's any good at it! Craftsmanship is what she's after. And it's what most folk consider to be art. Craftsmanship can be taught. Being an Artist, on the other hand, is something that simply is. Most people are born artist, but insensitive societal norms usually works that out of most whilst still in primary school. Haa! And thanking Keith who gave me some pointers that made the project a great deal more tolerable. Thanks Keith! Though Classically trained in sketching, drawing and painting the process has become tedious in today's chaotic rush. So these skills, whilst still in muscle-memory, simply require too much time for the working commercial artist. So like the Renaissance artists of old, we artists today use the plethora of tools available in the old bag of tricks. You might enjoy reading some art history that exposes the Magic used back-in-the-day. It's a good thing to learn about the workings of Art! You'll discover it makes use of very few straight lines or rulers! And a big thanks to David Barrow for inspiring what has become known around the clubhouse as The Self-Portrait of the Artist VivaChas Project! ~;0)
