Welcome to Robert Exter’s Artist Blog.

Using a projector is a crutch. I have never used one, but at times I have used a grid when in the transfer in making a small work into a large work. The freeness of the hand is what is desired in artwork.
Try to train your eye to see proportion. Do this by drawing squares or circles, and checking your guesses with a ruler. You will find that you get better and better.
This is why artist carry a sketch pad with them at all times.

I am very interested in portraits. I have never had drawing lessons. I have done some paintings from Photographs projected on canvas. I paint porcelain reproduction dolls.
I have many art books, but seem to do better with instruction. Is that a possibility? I do have something in common though. I have worked in corrections until I retired last year - Judy

This site is a collection of work that I had the time to document.
It is due to technology that I can now help other people achieve their artistic dreams.
I have done many a portrait without taking a photo of it or copy.
Thank you for your comment.
