I got a pleasant surprise today. Not even two days after publishing my post on basic portraits do I get asked to do a portrait.
This is a portrait of Nick Duxbury an artist who used to be based in Birmingham but now resides in Scotland.
I used the same methods explained in my previous post except that I took the finished sketch into Inkscape to clean it up a bit. A good move considering the original picture had quite an elongated face!
On Friday 29th November I was invited to the first Make and Do Party over at The Edge, which was hosted by Friction Arts.
There were about 20 artists present and there was a strong emphasis on just having fun creating art! I think there’s definite potential to increase collaboration amongst artists, possibly through the use of games.
Here’s some of the pictures from the night:
This is one of my works. It’s looking up onto a baby that’s about to jump off its chair.
This is the collaborative sculpture most of the artists on made on the night
