Drawings For Ngaire

Thank you Scott for your generosity and kind gesture to help in my training. It is no longer hard to know where to start into the world of portraiture. Thanks for logging on to the Forum.

Marvin, I agree that this drawing and others like it could have a section of its own in this Forum for any artist to use in their development and training.

Allan, thank you for the info, I will endeavour to do some more research.

Linda, Thank you for your generosity, kindness and being true to your word.

It is a pleasure to get to know you all and a big Thank you all for being so thoughtful to a student artist, this humbles me to know that in this mixed up world that there is kindness, compassion and generosity that makes each one of you one of the special people. Thank you all for logging on.

Hope these ones will be useful!

Hi Bonfim,

These look familiar, are they etchings by the Danish painter Carl Bloch ?

Allan

Hi Allan,

Yes, they are. I have a collection of his drawings, etchings and paintings!

They are great Claudemir, thanks.

I am starting to realise that to develop and fine tune technical skills, one has to have a very large bookcase in which inspiration and techniques can be learned from. You are very fortunate to have these at home with you. I just hope my printer will respect the quality also.

I have a collection of Prints of Carl Bloch. They are available on ebay!
Another option is to take the jpeg images and develop them as if you were going to develop any other photograph.
If you want I can email you some of them with more pixels!

Claudemir, your offer to email them is appreciated, I am afraid my old equipment still won't do them any justice but at least I can see enough detail to get techniques clearer.

I would also like to find copies of blocking in examples for paintings by any of the masters. I heard recently that there was a Great Draughtsman Series by Henry Bonnier on Rembrandt and others, I think it was Pall Mall Press. The book is out of print. If anyone has this book, I wonder if they could place a few of these onto this forum. Apparently they have their own masterful and unique qualities the same as drawing has.
