Realistic Art: Charcoal of Einstein

Hello! I am going to talk about realistic artwork. This has been a favorable art style through history. Almost every artist at least starts with realism to understand proportions, even cartoonist. This is a piece I made using charcoals which is a favorite of most realism artists. Charcoal allows you to have a lot of contrast and to be very dramatic. This is a drawing I made of Albert Einstein. I am proud of it; tell me what you think?

Wow, that's nice! Of course I'm partially biased because I can't draw people very well. *laugh*

Sha'Niqua was my student last year and knows that going to the Mediterranean is a big dream of mine!! When she gave me this paint by number that she created, it meant the world to me! She is a special young lady and it means so much to me that she would remember me and my dream of traveling to the Mediterranean. Thank you so much Sha'Niqua. I will treasure this forever and hopefully will get to go one day. Until then, I will look at your paint by number and dream!

Abstract Art February 10, 2021


I enjoy making and seeing abstract art. Abstract art isn´t just blobs or lines; it is your imagination, what you make it. The artist may have a vision or an emotion they want you to feel but what you see or feel is your interpretation. Abstract artwork is so popular for that reason that is why it is so common as home decor or at art museums. Abstract art is fun to do as well because you just paint if you have an idea or not. Abstract art can be made with all types of materials and isn´t very expensive to do. It is an easy way to express yourself you should try it!

Copy of "Your City Gave Me Asthma" by Wilbur Soot

This is my first blog on Life As A Lion! Here's one of my paintings I made of the album "Your City Gave Me Asthma" by Wilbur Soot. It took me 2 days to paint and I used acrylics to paint it. I, personally, am proud of this, tell me what you think!
