Skills



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
Strengths
  • 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
