Behind the Scenes - A Portrait Commission
Here’s a sneak peek behind my curtain.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ It isn’t simply… ⁠ The act of drawing⁠ It’s about the right pencils⁠ Shaving the wood ⁠ Down to bare bones⁠ And then sanding for hours…⁠ ⁠ But then the delicate process begins⁠ Layers upon layer⁠ As minutes melt into hours⁠ And hours into days⁠ Until the portrait is complete⁠ ⁠ It’s my passion!⁠ Hope you enjoyed watching…⁠ ⁠ And please leave a ❤️ if you did! ⁠

Drawing Jeff
I love to draw⁠ and when I get started, time gets away from me⁠. ⁠ This portrait was not a commission. One day, I grabbed some Stonehenge paper ⁠and started drawing our friend Jeff⁠. The next thing I knew⁠, 5 hours had passed. And then another 5. And another. I kept going until it was done. I had the portrait matted and framed ⁠and presented it as a gift⁠. To say he was surprised⁠ --is a bit of an understatement⁠! ⁠

Portraiture - A long slow process and I LOVE it!
Magic really happens…⁠ ⁠ It isn’t simply the ⁠act of drawing. ⁠It’s about the right pencils⁠, Shaving the wood ⁠down to bare bones⁠ and then sanding for hours…⁠ ⁠ But the best parts of all⁠ are the conversations⁠ that take place⁠ between me and my easel. ⁠Because⁠ when I am all alone in my studio⁠, sometimes magic happens…⁠ ⁠

Drawing Sun!
This is Sun.Yi. I love his stories. And while I listen to his words, I draw his face. This portrait is a work-in-progress. Not perfect. Not finished. But while he speaks, I continue my work. Getting lost in the process. As I always do. I do my best thinking when I draw… I have been ‘binge-ing’ on @Sun.yi on Instagram. And I love to draw as I listen…. It’s almost done. I will post it soon. It’s close.
