At the Denver Cherry Creek Art Festival this year I saw some amazing drawings from Anne London. She draws/paints large art works of animals from Africa. First of all what a nice way to make a living! I am amazed at her technique of very realistic, accurate drawing over very flowing and painterly background. Looking at her art work inspires me to experiment with looser styles and still be the control freak that I am.
After spending so much time looking and studying Susan Lyon's portraits, I discovered that she has an DVD on portrait drawing. It's great to finally be able to see how she approaches portrait drawing. As always she does a great job of explaining her process and what's important. The only thing is I wish it would have been longer so she can show more of the finishing touches and also tell us which brand of paper and type of paper towel she used. So check out her DVD, it's worth watching.
