My ArtVenture: Exclusive for Steemit - My collection of original Pencil portrait works
Hello dear Steemians,
Today I would like to take you back to the origin of my hobby and it is Graphite Pencil Drawing.
To start from beginning I would like to mention that my love to art I developed when I saw my father‘s portrait drawings that he has done with pencil while in his young age. Because he was born in post-War time he had no opportunity to devote his life to Art and had to start to work since he was 16 y.o.
Nevertheless I am very glad that we still have his only album with few rare drawings that he done in 50-60‘ and we as children loved to look at them and started to draw since we were little. Having cold long dark winter days we could stay inside and had a lot of time to draw, I must say this is the favorite hobby of my other siblings too.
Until August last year I did not exercise my hobby but since I am on Steemit Platform it gave me an opportunity to share my skills and to learn many other wonderful people. We are all so different but still have much in common.
I restarted my drawing but also I started to create with completely new mediums for me like Pastel and I learnt to do acrylic and oil painting. I am glad that you are able to track my progress and I am very grateful for your support.
Because my original Medium is Graphite pencil drawing which I find the most challenging it is still underestimated, some people do not like pencil because it is just black and white.
I love pencil drawing because it reminds me my father‘s work, therefore it remains always my favorite medium and the most challenging to draw portraits.
Ich kann mich noch gut an die Zeit erinnern, als Du das Titelbild das 1. mal hier vorgestellt hast. Eine gute Kollektion. Du weißt ja, daß ich Deine Fähigkeiten sehr schätze!!
