My daughter.....

My daughter.....

As requested, I am submitting more of my drawings. This is the 4th portrait drawing I have done. It is one of the series I did for my husband's birthday.

Please critique as you like....as I welcome suggestions and tips.

***Note from Kerry:
Sheryl, it is so hard to comprehend that you are new to portrait drawing. You definitely have a gift. It's lovely to see your work and to see you are enjoying drawing. By the way, your daughter is gorgeous!

 Fantastic
by: Sheryl ANNE Boivin

You are very talented Sheryl..imagine my suprise when I typed in my name and came across your art.
Ironically I am an artist..my name is Sheryl Boivin, and I live in Northern Ontario, Canada.
My favourite subject matter are people..and more often than not, my daughters.
Now that that is said and done, you really do have a wonderful mastery of your subject matter and medium. I would love to see more of your work. Please email me at shersart at hotmail.com

Thank you!

 For Marty
by: Sheryl Lynn Boivin

Hello Marty,
Thank you for all your compliments on my work.
I would love to share what I know....how could I go about doing this?
I did post a portrait I done for my daughter using watercolor pencils. It is my very first watercolor portrait so it is not the best. Look for it here....
I wish I could work with oil paint...painting just intimidates me. Maybe one day I can try my hand at it.

Hello Sandra,
I would love to share what I do....I am no where near a professional and I am self taught. Never had any classes for art/drawing.
Figure out a way for me to share what I know and I will do it!
I am about to start a portrait of a little girl that passed at age of 5 1/2 years. Her grandparents are paying me to draw the portrait for her parents as a Christmas gift.
I have one article on E-how that I share one of my techniques on how to get the proportions correct and make it look more life-like. Take a look and do a search for it.
If you have a facebook you can look me up there too. I have a fan page there showing all my drawings. Search for me through Lynn Burdette Boivin Pencil Artist.
Thanks for the compliments....it was nice to hear that someone thinks I am good. I am my worst critique and a perfectionist so I am never happy with my work.

Hello, Sheryl;

I also agree, where do we start? This drawing of your daughter is Fantastic. Have you ever thought about drawing other peopleas a business? I would also like to see one of your drawings in color. Please don't misunderstand me. I also drawing in pencil, but I also do oil paintings. Now of I had the talent of drawings portaits like you I believe I would make a business from it as good as you are.

I believe you could sell you art work anywhere and at anytime. Have you ever gave a thought of maybe selling your works on ebay?

Please draw us some more.

Kindly
Marty!
