Il ne s'agit pas d'une question, pas pour moi, au moins. J'ai pensé qu'il serait intéressant de voir comment de nombreux artistes sur Stars-Portraits sont la main droite et combien sont gauchers. Tout a commencé quand j'ai lu un livre intitulé, The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain par Betty Edwards. Je ne vais pas publier de chiffres, ou quelque chose comme ça.
Thank, Anne-Marie. I am glad you like it. I spent a little more time with this portrait. I am trying to slow down when I am drawing. Just curious, are you right-handed or left-handed? I am left-handed.
Merci beaucoup, mon ami. Je suis curieuse. Êtes-vous droitier ou gaucher? Je suis gaucher.
Mais je tricot, crochet, lancer une balle ou de fléchettes, et utilisé pour chauve-souris (softball) droitier.
Thank you, Jeanette. I am self-taught, also. I met my husband in Miami Springs, FL, 53 years ago, when I was a Flight Attendant with Eastern Air Lines and he was an Air Traffic Controller. Just curious. When you draw, do you use your right hand or your left? I am left-handed.
So glad to hear that you met your husband in Miami. I am right handed and I am self taught. I didn't even know I had this talent until after my mom died, I l aways took care of her because she had Alzheimer's disease. Then I had time to sketch and I was amazed!!
That's wonderful, that you have discovered your hidden talent. Art has always interested me, and I had art classes all the way through H. S. (Only attend college briefly.) I've never drawn people's faces until this year. Not only did I surprise myself, but I surprised my family and friends.
Hi Joyce this is very beautiful hope things your way are good here things are better. We had a nice visit with the Ohio relatives my daughter Margery is on the mend and will be looking forward to policing again soon she is up for a promotion to sargent.
Thank you, Christine. Glad you had a lovely visit with relatives. Hope your daughter gets the promotion soon. Just curious. Are you right-handed or left-handed. I am left-handed.
Yes I was thinking you must be left handed because in some of your work your shading seems to be slanted from left to right. I am right handed. But I like to use graphite powder and a hard paper stump to get some nice soft grays. I also use a blow dryer to get rid of excess powder. I find the backgrounds are faster and easier to do with the powder and a kind of cloud effect. My efforts are to cutting production time and people don't want to pose too long.
Thanks for your prompt response, Christine. I recently read the book, The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, by Betty Edwards. I thought it would be interesting to see which hand many of the artists on this web page use.
I have the book and it is among one of my favorites. I have taken tests and I guess I am double brained, or a real brainer if you like to laugh. I found that the negative space in a picture is about as important as the subject matter itself so that was a good thing to know. I took many design classes in college so that helped too.
I do many things with my right hand also, such as knit, crochet, played golf, pitched and batted righ-handed, but I prefer to draw and eat left-handed. I can mirror write in script, too.
Just like you I do things with my left hand naturally. I count money left to right. I deal out cards with my left hand and I also wash dishes in the left sink instead of the right. My girl friend who is left handed likes working after me because I set up my work space comfortably for her. I do knit and crochet with my right hand and I love playing piano and can handle my left hand very well with that insturment too.
Interesting that you wash dishes in the left sink. I am just the opposite. I wash dishes in the right sink and I deal cards with my right hand. I wonder why we do that, don't you?
Many thanks, Bea. Je suis curieuse. Êtes-vous droitier ou gaucher? Je suis gaucher. Je me demandais combien d'artistes sur ce site sont gauchers, aussi. Je suis collecte pas d'informations pour un rapport, ou de publier. Juste pour satisfaire ma curiosité. Joyce
Thanks for answering, Bea. I am still having computer problems on the desktop, so am answering now on a laptop. Don't have a translator downloaded on this computer.
Many thanks, Marino. Your compliment means a lot to me. Question: Are you right-handed or left-handed? I am left-handed. I do some things right handed, but not drawing. Comprendo? Or should I use a translator?
Many thanks, Marino. Sounds good to me. I knit, crochet, used to bat and pitch a softball right-handed, but prefer my left for writing, eating and drawing.
Many thanks, Helen. I appreciate your praise. I was pleased with how this one turned out, too. I wasn't in a hurry, as I have been so many other times.
Thanks Chantal. I haven't been able to access this website for several days. That's the reason for the delay in my reply. Also, I am on our laptop now, waiting for a router for the desktop computer.
