Skill progression and understanding
What I am doing
- Drawing from life
- Placing importance on creating contours of the face
- Study of other artists who are doing this
- Digitalizing my work to put it online
- Getting life models to sit for me
- Photographing people from all different angles from which to paint and draw
What I need to do
- Look into how I can do some dry point printing, find out days the studio might be available
- Stretch more canvas's
- Make a website for my work
- Begin to decide which external agencies might be appropriate for my work
- Think about what would be my artist statement, what do i need to verbalise about my work
- Brainstorming, collecting research and gathering together idea and interests
- People skills, development of relationships with others, and interest in people, which compliments the fact that portraiture is my area of creativity, so therefore i should use this to my advantage and try and ask people to sit for me so i can draw from life
- Imagination, perhaps a strength as long as i don't let it stop me from thinking clearly about sequences of things/skill/people/tools i need to do and obtain in order to become more professional in my practice
Weaknesses
- Ability to be over sensitive and emotional, therefore when i get criticism it can be crippling rather than motivating
- Ability to go off in a tangent and try and do too many things all at once, perhaps over ambitious so that as a result all things get delved into but none completed
- Painting skills, are perhaps the biggest weakness, i need to find a style that suits me
