Bernard Hughes

Done by Bernard Hughes

I am fifty years old and have been drawing since childhood. At the age of 18 I started doing portraits of people. To date I have done hundreds of portraits for people from family portraits to pets, and even today I am still focused on becoming better and learn from drawing. I have done a lot of paintings. My favourite medium is oil but I also do acrylics and water colour. I will do pastel but it’s a bit messy. Charcoal is also a great medium. I haven’t really made a name in the art world, as I haven’t found something uniquely me. I am planning to go big soon by doing big paintings of faces with a bit of abstract in them. It is difficult for me currently as I’m unemployed which makes it difficult to buy supplies and oil paints. I currently make my own canvas using calico or I paint on hardboard. If I find myself in a better financial position, I want to buy canvas. The bigger the better as this helps me express myself more.

I live in Odendaalsrus, a town just outside the city of Welkom, where I have to buy my art supplies. I have done a painting of Welkom’s well known clock tower in 2010 and it is still hanging in the tower unsigned. Something I must do as it’s now part of history. I have 2 kids; a daughter Tiffany who is also very talented at drawing and my son Keenan. My one wish is to be able to buy canvas and oil paints and make a name in the art world, once I have a job again. Currently doing portraits brings in some money but it’s not a full time way to make an income. I hope to soon take my art to a new level and style, and focus on oil and acrylic paintings and make a living out of art.

LEMON YELLOW

The colour yellow may differ in hue and chroma; from mustard yellow, bright yellow (which has come to define generation z) through to lemon yellow. The oldest pigment is yellow ochre, which was amongst the first pigments used by humans. Modern chemistry led to the creation of many other yellows including chrome yellow, cadmium yellow, cobalt yellow and indeed lemon yellow. https://www.italianbark.com/color-trends-2020-lemon-yellow-interiors-design/

MARVELOUS MANGO

Orange can be a very strong and energetic colour. Like yellow and red, it can be very attentiongrabbing, which is perhaps why it is often used in advertising. People often describe orange as bright, happy, and uplifting. In some cases, however, it can seem too bright and overwhelming. Much like purple, orange tends to be a controversial colour. People tend to either love it or hate it. https://www.verywellmind.com/the-color-psychology-of-orange-2795818

PURPLE ROSE

Purple combines the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red. The colour purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. Purple also represents meanings of wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom. The colour purple has a variety of effects on the mind and body, including uplifting spirits, calming the mind and nerves, enhancing the sacred, creating feelings of spirituality, increasing nurturing tendencies and sensitivity, and encouraging imagination and creativity. https://www.bourncreative.com/meaning-of-the-color-purple/

OCEAN GREEN

Turquoise is a shade of blue that lies on the scale between blue and green. It has characteristics associated with both of these, such as the calmness of blue and the growth that is represented in green. Turquoise can also have the energy that yellow transmits, becoming an uplifting colour. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=r-

ON A BUDGET By Judy Nemeth

For many families there is very little spare money to splash out on articles required for children’s art creations. However, with a little planning, and thinking out of the box, it can be relatively easy to build up a collection of items over a period of time which can be used for lots of different kinds of artistic endeavours. The basic tools which will be essential as a starting point such as crayons, pastels, pencils, a sharpener, blunt ended scissors, glues, cellotape, paints and brushes, to name just a few, are going to cost a fair amount of money and it is wise to go for quality over quantity. It is important therefore that children are taught to look after all of these items and to keep them clean and tidy in a closed container or inside a desk or cupboard.

The ideas I am about to give you may help when the children have to make something as a gift, or as a school project. It also means that the family become more aware of the necessity to re-cycle instead of throwing things away which can be used in a multitude of different ways. So many everyday items, which often tend to end up in the dustbin, are easy to turn into art materials. To name just a few: egg boxes, toilet roll or roller towel inners, plastic trays used for packaging fruit and vegetables, old newspapers and magazines, old birthday and Christmas cards, pictures from expired calendars, scraps of material or wool, buttons, bits of broken jewellery – with some imagination your list can become far longer than mine. It might be a good idea to have a fairly large cardboard box which you can use for storing these items unless you are fortunate enough to have enough shelves in a cupboard to keep them until needed.

When a child is asked to make a particular item, it is often quite amazing at just how capable even the youngest child may turn out to be. With a little bit of parental or carer encouragement, most children thrive on being able to produce a work of art to give to a family member or a friend as a present. Not all children are fortunate enough to attend a nursery school, creche or day-care centre but a great deal of fun can be had in the home, as long as there is a certain amount of adult supervision. When you receive even the most basic picture made by a young child, it has a magical quality about it which makes it so much more precious than a shop bought item.

Paper can be an expensive purchase, so always try to re-cycle those wrapping papers you received when you have been given gifts. Alternatively, plain brown paper is inexpensive and, whilst we are all becoming more and more aware of the damage, we are constantly doing to this planet of ours, it is a much better option for wrapping a gift than purchasing expensive shiny foil paper or cellophane. Even newspaper pages can be utilized for wrapping up presents. These can be painted over to create a unique effect. It is amazing just how easy it is for a child to decorate a piece of brown paper or newspaper when they are given free rein.

A quick word of advice before little ones start with poster painting or using felt pens to create an artwork – protect their clothing from damage! If they own a plastic apron that’s great, but if not, improvise. Use a black rubbish bin bag or a bin liner and cut a hole for their head and two arm holes. By wearing this over their clothes they can mess as much as they want, but you will avoid laundry headaches afterwards!

Being creative has been proven to be of inestimable importance in the mental development of children. That is why it is critical that, wherever possible, they are given the opportunity to develop their artistic abilities. Whilst this article is focused on arts and crafts, music in all its forms, dancing, acting, singing, gymnastics, taking part in sports, are all forms of art and being able to partake in any of these activities gives a child a more balanced childhood than a domination of the reading, writing and arithmetic which usually forms the basis of western education.

johannesburg art gallery The Johannesburg Art Gallery was first commissioned to be built in 1910, and was initially housed on the campus of Witwatersrand. The gallery was overlooked by blocks of flats on three sides. To the east was one of the main thoroughfares to the wealthy northern suburbs of the city; to the south was a deep railway cutting, abutting another open space (formerly known as the Union Grounds), and was called the Central Business District. The Johannesburg Art Gallery was constructed in 1911 as a request by Lady Philips, the wife of a diamond and gold magnate who had made a fortune in the mining camps of Kimberly and the Witwatersrand. She was of English-speaking South African descent and her husband, like many others among the ‘Randlords’, was a Jewish Londoner who had originally come to South Africa to work as a clerk in the diamond fields. Architecture and Design The building was designed with a South-facing entrance, not in accordance with Edward Lutyens’ specifications. This meant that there was no part of the museum which let in natural light. In 1915, without a ceremony, it opened to the public Joubert Park, Johannesburg’s city centre. Further extensions made to the gallery began in 1940 when East-West wings were added along to the South galleries in accordance with Luytens’ design. Other extensions such as the North façade and galleries were built during1986-1987.

In 1986 an extension more than doubled the size of the gallery. Built to a plan intended to acknowledge, but not imitate, the original structure, the extension makes room for two open-air sculpture courts by creating two floors which rise no higher than the single floor of the Lutyens building, although an unforeseen result of this is that the copper-sheathed, barrel-like vaults above the entrance to the extension’s lower floor have proved themselves vulnerable to theft, and the copper sheets have been prised off for sale to scrap-metal merchants. The most substantial part of the ‘new’ space is given over to the permanent collection of South African art - to which, well before Nelson Mandela became South Africa’s first black president. This building consists of 15 exhibition halls and sculpture gardens. It also houses various collections, among them being the 17th century Dutch paintings, 18th and 19th century British and European art, 19th century South African works. The collection also consists of a large 20th century contemporary collection of local and international art and print works. With the largest art collection in Africa, the Johannesburg Art Gallery’s 15 exhibition halls and sculpture gardens display only about 10% of its entire collection at any one time. The gallery is funded by a trust, as well as through generous sponsorship from both Anglo-American and the City of Johannesburg.

Major exhibitions The first major exhibition at the Johannesburg Art Gallery was called Art and Ambiguity, hosted from December 1991 to March 1992. This was the first exhibition internationally showcasing the traditional art of the southern Africa sub-continent. The majority of the works were from the Brenthurst Collection, as well as from the Jacques Collections. Works from other collections included loans from the Standard Bank Foundation Collection of African Art at Wits Art Museum, Johannesburg; the Junod Collection at the Univerisity of South Africa in Pretoria; and works from the Natal Museum in Pietermaritzburg. In the Sunday Times (8 December 1991) Barry Ronge reviewed the exhibition, writing that the exhibition was “an examination of a tradition of South African art that was pillaged, removed, negated and marginalised. Now it is like people of South Africa, it is being gathered back from exile…offering a sense of identity and tradition that has been missing for decades.”

In August 1996, two separate but linked exhibitions, entitled ‘Secular’ and ‘Spiritual’ opened at Johannesburg Art Gallery. The exhibitions included ‘Objects of Meditation’ and ‘Views from Within,’ both curated by Nessa Leibhammer. A resource book accompanied these exhibitions and provided explanations not only about the exhibitions, but also about the way that traditional African art is curated and displayed in Western institutions. In addition to conventional art, the Johannesburg Art Gallery features many traditional African pieces, such as jewellery in the form of necklaces and bracelets made of beads. It also features works in rock, wood, tyre, wire, cement, clay and ceramic as well as bronze and metal. The gallery’s collection also includes some of the most highly valued antiques and lacework in the country.

In 1998, Liebhammer and Nel Erasmus curated another traditional southern African art exhibition called Evocations of a Child. This exhibition was considered to be the grounding-breaking feature at Johannesburg Art Gallery, and challenged the boundaries of Art and Ambiguity. Child figures, more commonly known as fertility figures or ‘dolls’, was one of the main features of the exhibition. Liebhammer and Nel brought together a representative sample of these small, anthromorphic objects, including 13 important pieces from Johannesburg Art Gallery. From 1998 to 1999 the exhibition travelled

to many major South African art galleries. In 2007, Liebhammer curated another major exhibition called ‘Dungamanzi/Sitting Waters: Tsonga and Shangaan Art from Southern Africa’. The exhibition consisted of carved pieces from the Brenthurst and Horstmann collections. Other loaned bead pieces from Knight, Nel, the Wits Art Museum and private collector, Peter Rich, were also displayed. Furthermore, this exhibition investigated complex issues around identity and identity constructions in both its publication as well as its two video interviews.

In Johannesburg Art Gallery centenary publication (2010), Carman writes that “apart from these major shows, objects from the collections have been part of other in-house exhibitions”. These exhibitions are namely ‘Images of Wood’ (1989), ‘A decade of Collecting’: The Anglo American Johannesburg Centenary Trust 1986-1996, 1997, (JAG 1997), Present Continuous (May 2005), and a small educational exhibition that opened in November 2005. International loans from the collection include artworks on loan to Africa such as ‘The Art of a Continent’ from the Royal Academy of London in 1995, and a small exhibition curated by Nel and Gwinsta entitled ‘Glimpses from the South,’ which accompanied a show of contemporary South African Art at the Museum of African Art in New York in 2001. The traditional collections continue to be displayed in the gallery. Highlights of the South African collection include the works of Gerard Sekoto, Alexis Preller, Maud Sumner, Sydney Kumalo and Ezrom Legae. References Sir Hugh Lane, Director 1914-1915 [Online].

THE CHANGING FACE OF ART AND PLAY OVER THE YEARS By Judy Nemeth The environment in which children are raised shapes their view of the world in which they find themselves. Political upheaval, poverty, strained family relationships are all contributing factors which mould the way in which a child is likely to behave, to feel and how they will interact with others. Having an outlet such as art could help to alleviate a child’s feelings of abandonment, fear or sadness by giving them the means to express their feelings. Nowadays, the variety of tools available to many children are a far cry from those which would have formed part of the life of children growing up, for example, before, during and for many years after the second world war in Europe. Life then was often an existence, with little or no time for play or having fun.

By the same token, we are aware of the amount of hardship which too many people are currently enduring in various parts of the world, including right here in South Africa. However, it is always refreshing to see just how adaptable a child can prove to be despite the problems surrounding them. A cricket match can be improvised using a piece of wood for a bat, a rolledup piece of cardboard or paper for a ball and some sticks used for the wicket. By the same token, a football can be fashioned from anything resembling a sphere. It just goes to show that the need to be creative and to play is inherent in a normally functioning human being.

African children in poor rural areas in the past have been very creative in making toys out of wire. They shaped them into cars or bicycles which they would push around in the sand. Many of these items have now evolved into similar designs made by adults and sold at flea markets or tourist shop outlets to overseas visitors. Dolls whittled out of pieces of wood or made from wool or scraps of material are also found on display in museums in various parts of the world. The need for children to have something to play with would appear to have always been part of the human psyche. Archaeologists have discovered primitive dolls, marbles, toy animals and even spinning tops dating back thousands of years which confirms the fact that imagination and the need for children to play has always been important in the lives of human beings. These early artefacts were made using items such as fruit pips, clay and wood, with a limited variety of colours. They were, however, the forerunners of the more sophisticated versions which are still popular with many children today. Egyptian children apparently used dried vine leaves to fashion, what today is known as a hula hoop, according to archaeological findings of pictures depicting this form of play.

It is only through imagination and the desire to create that we have evolved over the thousands of years into the techno savvy beings which many of us have become today. However, it is always refreshing to see that art works are still being created, books are constantly being produced, songs are being written and, despite our reliance on computers, and social media, a more basic form of creativity is still alive and well. There seems to be a move afoot currently to produce hand-made items once again, due to a dissatisfaction of being faced with mass produced, poor quality goods. The pleasure derived from completing something creatively, whether it be a knitted, sewn, or crocheted piece of clothing or a framed collage of photographs or spending time on scrapbooking, is not only rewarding, but can be very therapeutic when one is feeling stressed. By developing and encouraging the artistic ability in children, regardless of their circumstances, there is always the hope that somewhere in the future they will reap the reward. Whether they become designers, painters, sculptors, authors, dancers, singers, musicians – it all starts in childhood. Offering children the opportunity to discover their talents is possibly the best gift that can be given by parents or society at large.

SOUTH AFRICAN Over the years, South Africa has produced a number of celebrated female artists who have become popular the world over. Pioneering art works by Bertha Everard, Maggie Laubser and, most prominently, Irma Stern, regularly fetch record prices at international and local auction houses. The Introduction of Modern Art These early South African artists effectively blazed the trail of modern art in a country largely preoccupied with the naturalistic and descriptive images of the artists of the day. Instead of simply recording the natural surroundings and the people in it; these ground breaking artists are credited with introducing impressionism, post-impressionism and expressionism to the country for the first time.

Bertha Everard

(1873 - 1965)

Born in Holland and trained in London, Bertha Everard produced powerful landscapes which captured the solitude and mysticism of the vast African plains. Her strong use of line and colour created a stylised intensity in her work which evolved from realism to vibrant expressionism.

F E M A L E A RT I S T S Irma Stern (1894 - 1966) Stern is a major South African artist who gained national and international recognition within her lifetime. Her association with the German Expressionist painters of the early 1900’s influenced her work tremendously and today she is regarded as one of the most important colourists of her time.

Maggie Laubser (1886 - 1973) South African-born Maggie Laubser created paintings in an intentional primitive style, portraying the intensity of the people and landscapes of the Western Cape. Together with Irma Stern, Laubser was instrumental in introducing the techniques and boisterous colour of post-impressionism and expressionism to the country. Celebrated Contemporary South African Female Artists A new generation of female artists in South Africa are continuing the fine tradition established by these early practitioners. Artists such as Yoka Wright, Katherine Wood, Katherine Ambrose and Candice Dawn B are creating a vast body of contemporary art in all the significant genre.

Yoka Wright South African artist, Yoka Wright, is one of the most celebrated abstract artists in the country. Defined by crisp lines and flamboyant colours, Yoka Wright originals are highly collectible and feature in private and corporate collections all over the globe.

Katherine Wood Artist extraordinaire, Katherine Wood is renowned for her abstract landscapes presented in a find blend of mixed media. Her poignant art works are regularly exhibited at art galleries all over the world and in 2008 she was selected to represent South African artistic talent at the Beijing Olympics!

Katharine Ambrose An avid exponent of the vibrant and colourful Township Art genre, Katharine Ambrose captures the exciting imagery of South Africa’s bustling townships in a naive and primitive style. Working in oil, acrylic and mixed media, her works are enormously popular and can be found in collections all over the country.

Candice Dawn B Passionate, flamboyant, sensual and liberating describe the opulent abstract art works by South African expressionist, Candice Dawn B. A finalist at the ABSA Le Atelier art competition in 2010, Candice is one of the most exciting and unique female artists to emerge in South Africa in quite some time!

F E M A L E A RT I S T S YO U S H O U L D K N O W ABOUT I N T E R N AT I O N A LY Elaine Sturtevant (American, 1924-2014) The works of Elaine Sturtevant (known by her surname) cause a double take; what at first looks like a painting by Andy Warhol or Jasper Johns is actually her own work, appropriating the forms and techniques of the original to a disturbing degree of accuracy. Since 1964, Sturtevant has appropriated the work of her male contemporaries to question the hierarchy of gender, originality, and authorship, as well as the structures of art and culture. In fact, Warhol even acquiesced to let Sturtevant use his screen maker to produce the same Marilyn screen that he used in his own work. As Sturtevant recalls, when Warhol was asked the details of his process, he would tell people to “ask Elaine.” Pictured: Elaine Sturtevant, Warhol Diptych (1973), sold by Christie’s in 2015.

Louise Bourgeois (French, 1911-2010) Born in Paris to parents who ran a tapestry restoration business, Louise Bourgeois grew up helping them in the workshop, filling in missing parts of the designs depicted on the tapestries. Although she studied mathematics and geometry at the Sorbonne, she eventually returned to art, practicing printmaking, painting, and large-scale sculpting throughout her long and varied career. Although she was not formally affiliated with any specific artistic movement, she exhibited with the abstract expressionists and explored themes including loneliness, jealousy, anger, sexuality, and the unconscious in her work. In 1982, at the age of 70, Bourgeois was finally given her moment to shine when The Museum of Modern Art exhibited a retrospective of her work, which featured contorted human-like figures suspended from wires; fabric creations made from her old clothes; and enormous spider sculptures, which she is best remembered for today. Pictured: Louise Bourgeois, Maman (1999), photographed in Hamburg, Germany in 2012.

Agnes Martin (Canadian, 1912-2004) Agnes Martin, often associated with the minimalist movement, existed in a league of her own and defies easy categorization. Intensely private and spiritual, Martin explained that her paintings came to her fully formed, the size of postage stamps, which she would translate onto large-scale canvases. A glistening gold icon, Friendship from 1963 is a fabulous example of a seminal grid painting by the artist. Martin’s delicately incised lines, seemingly perfect yet upon close inspection imbued with the sense of the human hand, produce an infinite field with a mysterious quality—the embodiment of a transcendent calm. A retrospective of Martin’s work opened at the Guggenheim in New York in October 2016. Pictured: Agnes Martin, Friendship (1963), on display at the Tate Modern in London in 2015.

Helen Frankenthaler (American, 1928-2011) Helen Frankenthaler’s breakthrough “stain” painting, Mountains and Sea, from 1952 played a pivotal role in the transition from the grandiose gesture of Abstract Expressionism to the flat, meditative forms of Color Field painting. First and foremost a colorist, Frankenthaler poured cans of paint onto raw canvas, allowing the material to soak into the support, forming amorphous shapes. As a woman of Abstract Expressionism, Frankenthaler broke through the masculinedominated movement and let her own unique artistic voice be heard. Her work is currently part of a long-overdue exhibition titled the “Women of Abstract Expressionism,” which opened at the Denver Art Museum in June 2016 and will travel to The Mint Museum in Charlotte and the Palm Springs Art Museum. Pictured: Helen Frankenthaler c. 1956.

MOTHER & DAUGHTER Tutorial

How do I draw this?

Let’s start!

Let us paint an endearing scene of a mother and daughter. We will use STAEDTLER’s watercolour pencils for this painting and STAEDTLER watercolour brushes. Both are of high quality and very easy to use. You can pick your own subject or follow along with this tutorial. The steps should be similar.

Step 1 (Image - women 01) It is always best to start your drawing on a separate and cheaper paper. I normaly use printing paper to create the rough drawing. I you make mistakes on your watercolour paper it leaves marks and erasing damage the painting surface.

Step 2 Once you are happy with your drawing, scratch the back of the drawing with a soft pencil to create carbon on the back. This will allow you to transfer your drawing to watercolour paper. Place the scratched area on top of your watercolour paper and use a pen to trace over your drawing. Don’t press too hard.

Step 3 Pick your first watercolour pencil. I always start with the light colours first and draw very lightly. Watercolour pencils are very light when you draw but will quickly intensify the moment you add water to the pigment.

Step 4 Here you can barely see the pencil marks I have made for the skin. Keep it very light and use a cross hatching technique for the shading.

Step 5 This is fun step. Dip your brush in water and make it a bit dry on a tissue paper. The secret is to keep the brush moist and not soaking wet.

Step 6 Paint over the area where you have drawn to dissolve the pigment. In some cases the pigment might become lighter and in others it might be darker than you anticipated.

Step 7 While you wait for the wet paint to dry pick your next colour. It is wise not to draw over wet areas as the pigments will stain the paper so much that you will not be able to make it lighter.

Step 8 I have already drawn the mother’s top. Take note that I have drawn the highlights and shadows so that when I paint over it, it will be darker and lighter as I have drawn it.

Step 9 Here I have picked a yellow pencil to create blond hair. Keep it light and follow the direction of the hair.

Step 10 I always create a colour chart from for the pigments I use. This helps you understand what each colour will look like before you make it wet and how strong each of them is. I use this same colour chart to mix pigments to see what the mixtures will look like before I commit this to my watercolour paper.

Step 11 I have advanced quite a bit already and have laid down most of the colours with a bit a shading added to them. I have used black to shade the skin and realised too late that it might not have been the ideal choice. You will also see that I have mistakenly drawn in the girl’s neck while the paint was still wet. Avoid doing that unless you really need intense colours.

Step 12 In this step I am going to draw very light blue on the highlight areas to tone down the strong warm colours we have in the painting.

Step 13 I have added blue to various areas and added a bit of yellow to the girl’s top. I keep working all over the whole picture, paying attention to areas that have dried and avoiding areas that are still wet.

Step 14 In this step I try to exaggerate the contrast as much as I can. Black is not always the best to use to darken areas, but sometimes it is good to break away from the norm and experiment a bit.

Step 15

FRIDA KAHLO “

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.” - Frida Kahlo

Mexican artist Frida Kahlo is remembered for her selfportraits, pain and passion, and bold, vibrant colours. She is celebrated in Mexico for her attention to Mexican and indigenous culture and by feminists for her depiction of the female experience and form.

Life experience is a common theme in Kahlo’s approximately 200 paintings, sketches and drawings. Her physical and emotional pain are depicted starkly on canvases, as is her turbulent relationship with her husband, fellow artist Diego Rivera, who she married twice. Of her 143 paintings, 55 are self-portraits.

Kahlo, who suffered from polio as a child, nearly died in a bus accident as a teenager. She suffered multiple fractures of her spine, collarbone and ribs, a shattered pelvis, broken foot and a dislocated shoulder. She began to focus heavily on painting while recovering in a body cast.

Kahlo’s first self-portrait was SelfPortrait in a Velvet Dress in 1926. It was painted in the style of 19th Century Mexican portrait painters who themselves were greatly influenced by the European Renaissance masters. She also sometimes drew from the Mexican painters in her use of a background of tied-back drapes. Self-Portrait - Time Flies (1929), Portrait of a Woman in White (1930) and SelfPortrait Dedicated to Leon Trotsky (1937) all bear this background.

https://www.fridakahlo.org/images/paintings/self-portrait-time-flies.jpg

Self Portrait - Time Flies was auctioned at Sotheby’s in New York for five million dollars in 1920. The record makes Kahlo the highest selling Latin American artist in history.

About me Born in the indian community of Phoenix in Durban, South Africa, I was surrounded by beautiful colours, beautiful pieces of art. I showed a keen interest in drawing from a young age of 6. I believed in my mad skill and continued to choose art to major in, in both senior school and tertiary. I began evolving and maturing as an artist as a teenager and young adult. I was fortunate enough to have been serving my internship doing what I loved best and been remunerated for my talent. I quickly learned my way up to the position of a Graphic designer of which i am currently in. I devote my time to perfecting my creativity and my ability to transform a sketch into a masterpiece. I continue to use social platforms to express myself in my art with the world. My work is an examination of the different forms this shield takes, and the thinking that lies behind it. I use domestic objects as the common denominators of my personal environment. Altering these is a way to illustrate the attitude of the object in my drawing or sketch. I enjoy many other forms of artistry, like music, video games and physical sport. An artist must not be limited to one means of expression. My inspiration comes from capturing the light in everything, looking for the good in everything.

Who are you? Kameron Lee Govender, Indian South African Male aged 27. What is the type of art and genre that I specialise in? Drawings not limited to pencil, Sketching and Digital art using digital technology as a part of the creative presentation process. Advice to give young artists? Pursue your creativeness, widen your boundaries. Don’t get caught in the trap of definition. Be flexible, learn all facets of creativeness. Your atmosphere and environment plays a pivotal role in the work you generate. Bank on inspiration and not financial limitations. Hopes and dreams for my art? To spend everyday doing what i love the most, spreading the creative play. To continue spreading the message that Art has the amazing ability to nourish the mind and spirit. One wish - what is it? If I had one wish, it would be for world peace. If people used their feelings, fears, tragedies and dreams to express themselves in an artistic manner the world would be a beautiful place to live in.

HAPPY WOMAN TUTORIAL This tutorial is a bit more challenging. We will use STAEDTLER’s triplus ballpoint pens for this drawing. If you attempt this one and struggle at first don’t give up, just keep on trying. Using pens are permanent and this means you have to be very careful with each line you put onto the paper. But don’t let this prevent you from trying it, just keep in mind that in the beginning you might make mistakes you will need to live with it or hide it. Let us get busy with this beautiful dancing woman.

Step 1 I usually do my rough drawing on printing paper first and then transfer it to my drawing paper. This way I can erase and correct as many times as needed. After I have finished my drawing I scratch the back with a soft pencil and then place the rough over my drawing paper and transfer it by drawing with a pen over my lines.

Step 2 In this step we will start with the skin. I use the yellow colour that looks like gold and not the bright yellow. Use hatching to shade the skin and add more lines where it is darker, less at the highlights.

Step 3 Here we deepen the shades with the orange pen. Keep it subtle and stay away from the highlights. Try to use the pen very lightly where you need it to be light.

Step 4 Now to make the shadow areas even darker we use the brown pen. Keep the brown even more subtle and don’t let it over power the mid tones. We are attempting to build up the values by gradually going darker.

Step 5 For the lips and her eyelids I start with the light blue and softly add thin lines where it needs to be light and press harder where it needs to be darker. Then I use the dark blue pen and add more shade to her eyelid and lips, but only in the darkest areas.

Step 6 For the shirt I used the grey pen and the black pen to add the darkest shades to her mouth and eyes.

Step 7 The hair is not that difficult, but it will take a little longer to draw. Find the lightest colour in the hair and pick a colour that will represent this well. For this image the golden yellow was the best pick. Fill the hair with this colour. I leave areas where I think I will not need the light colour that much.

Step 7 Using the brown pen I start to draw the curls’ shadows first and fill the big dark areas. Hair can be tricky, but if you break it down into simple shapes it should be easy enough. Don’t try to draw each and every single hair, but rather draw hair clumps and add finer detail later if needed.

Step 9

The End!

About me: My name is Kelvin Masawi. I’m a professional artist based in East London, Eastern Cape Province, Republic of South Africa. I’m a pencil drawing artist. I’m aged thirty four, and was born on the 30th of March Nineteen eighty seven. I originate from Seke, Mashonaland East Province, Zimbabwe. I’m a Christian. I’m humble and kind. I always stand for what I believe is right. Apart from spending quality time with my family, I also enjoy spending the other part of my time doing art alone. I’m neither a smoker nor a drinker. I have to read, watch football and movies. I’m creative and quick to adopt systems of art. One thing I believe is to transform the universe using pencil and paper. Creating opportunities for young people from the remote areas who are talented. I believe in working as a team. Togetherness bring out something great, If we bring our ideas together we can transform the world of art into a planet of excellence. Art is a form of teaching, awareness and reminder. It introduces things that happens in the other side of the world to another part. This particular crafting is also a way of data storage for the upcoming generations. People and academic institutes visit art galleries and museums to learn about how things are applied and how they were applied in the earlier days. Typical example, our generation, nobody have seen the actual Titanic Vessel, but through the art we can see and learn that it once existed during the first quarter of the twentieth century.

Upon my journey, from the day I knew how to hold a pencil, I have learned that everyone should believe in themselves. My advice to all the upcoming and young talented artist is that you must always believe in yourself. Whatever that clicks into your mind don’t wait for someone’s confirmation, just put it on the paper. Your fingerprint is unique, nobody can design the way you can. I would wish the South African soil and all the entire African region to be the best source of art in the entire world. My hope is to open an art professional institute which will be specializing and nurturing the young ages in art and designing. I would wish to promote every child who have the desire and potential in the field, supporting their dreams to come true.
