I wasn't very confident as I was not good at drawing portraiture, I just though I would give it a shot as everything is worth trying.
We paid $10 to join and we earn $10 as commission for each artwork sold. I did not go with much intention to get my works sold but if someone were to buy it I would of course be very happy.
We were given 20mins to draw the model. Every 20mins there would be a different model.
It was a real challenge because I have never drawn still life within such a short time frame before.
Location: Red Dot Museum
We were given stickers to identify ourselves!
After every 20mins of drawing a model, we pin out works up on the rack for display. People would walk around to view our art works and are allowed to purchase them for $10 each.I got to see many different drawing styles today. I was most amazed by this girl who did all her portraiture with pastel!
Its been a long time since I touched pastel
Below are some of the works I did
I managed to sell one work and earned back the $10 which i paid for signing up!I sold an A4 size abstract drawing of the French mother and her 3 year old daughter who modeled for us. (large drawing on the left)
She was beautiful, and so was her daughter!
I also realise that I can not force myself to draw continuously the whole day, the end result won't look that good. I need rest!
so I only stayed till 5pm. Overall it was a great experience! We are most defiantly going to attend the next portrait day.
