Description
So I was in college at BUCKS COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE taking an art class with professor Daniel Wilkinson.
Our Professor had me and my friend Nathan do portaits of each other.
When I finished Bucks and went to the Seifert School in Fairless Hills PA, I showed the drawing to My Teachers' Alice and Bob Seifert and they decided that my next project
would be for me to trace over the drawing onto illustration board and then color it with rembrandt chalk pastels.
So I went from drawing to painting.
When I as in college, and was drawing Nathan, I told him he should be a model.
He sat so still and did a good performance for me.
Well, Nathan, look!
You are famous!
Congrats bro!
Also, thanks to Professor John Ivanchenko for discovering me and encouraging me to keep taking art classes.
Thanks to Professor Richard Gabriele for helping to teach me how to draw and teaching me the history of art!
Thank you to my Mom for encouraging me to not quit no matter how many times I worried that I was not good enough.
..and most of all!
Thanks to my friends Nathan for modellijng and our friend Veronica for loving my art stuff!
You guys are truly cool!
Enjoy the artwork everyone!
Sincerely,
Ryan Hart Soliwoda
