The tips you gave are gold! I love the tip about not drawing "somebody" to give the potential buyer something he can project onto! Also your videos are great and I'm excited for more in the future! 🙂
Love your work! And the principal of anonymity in work alluded me until now. Novel idea! I think it also helps to maintain a more looseness in the work as well. Never needing to define marks. Thank you kindly!
Another great piece of art, Sarah. There was one point that you touched upon in your narration that really resonated with me. Anonymity. I always feel so much more attached to a portrait of someone I don't know. Admittedly, there are some amazing portraits out there of well-known people, but I can only ever see them from a technical perspective. In as much how close to the likeness the painting/drawing is to the real life person. I always get distracted by that and quite often I'm left feeling quite cold emotionally. When you see a portrait like the one in the video, it makes you delve into the portrait with your own emotions and that's where interpretations of the person really comes to life. I'm not too sure if that makes any sense to you. I think, ultimately, I find drawings of famous people are maybe a little clichéd from an artistic point of view. Like I say, there are some magnificent ones out there, but I find attaching myself emotionally to them very difficult. I do hope more people discover your channel because they're hugely inspirational.
@@jeremywhite790 Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and for your encouraging feedback. I couldn’t agree more. I think how you said you can feel quite cold emotionally where the likeness becomes the centre of focus… That really nails it for me. And makes total sense. I can be very impressed with incredibly skilled portraits but they can just feel a little cold.
hi sarah, this is super cool, your stories are very motivating. keep sharing! i started putting my charcoal art on instagram recently, doing a recon mission i.e. advertising :)
So beautiful! I love expressive portrait art… I’ve been wanting to use my pan pastels and charcoal in this way. What is the large sponge you were using when you began the portrait?
