Live Portrait Drawing
Above is a short video showing me do a live portrait drawing of Father Christian Shiu, of St. Gilbert Catholic Church, in Grayslake, Illinois. This is for Father’s birthday celebration!
The House Portrait Is Drawn By Me
To make sense of me drawing Father Christian above, I am demonstrating to you with facts, that I can, and do, capture the image which is put before me. Just like the image of me, sitting here in the video above, doing a live action drawing, or portrait, of Father Christian Shiu, so too, are all of the House Portraits done by me, as they are drawn live, on the spot, a fresh, authentic, and real creation made by the artist. The House Portraits are not tracings from image transfers of photographs, or employing the use of digitally engineered images. This drawing was done on 6/6/2019, as a birthday gift, as you can see the birthday cake in the background for the celebration that we had for him.
Original Work Of Art
I actually look at the photographs sent to me and draw and paint directly from them, and they are original works of art. Each house portrait is a unique hand made work of art that holds, and gains in value over time.
Non-Digital & Non-Mechanical
Each house portrait is a unique work of art, done my me, a professionally educated, and trained artist. All of the renderings are unique, and not the result of a process that makes use of technical tools and photographic elements to come up with the house portrait. I do not scan photos, and copy, trace, or digitally reprocess them on to paper so that they are casting an image that I can trace over or paint on.
Art That Gains In Value
It is a documented fact that artwork created by graduates of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago gain in value over time.
