Welcome to The Brandywine School Student Art Gallery. Many of you have written me asking if I would do portraits from your photographs... I don't, but my best students do! If you're interested in commissioning a portrait or other work from one of my students, you may e-mail the school at  office@howarddavidjohnson.com to go through screening to reach them.

 

STUDENT ART GALLERY:

Portraits from Photographs...

 Brandywine Student Mark  H. is proof positive that these Photo-realistic methods learned in Foundations for Art and applied with discipline and hard work pay startling results! Mark's work seems even more lifelike than the actual photo of the lovely movie star it was based on!

 

Mark H.: Untitled, Prismacolor pencils on paper  The Reference Photo  (Photographer unknown)

 

YES! These are my Student's Drawings! 

You CAN do it if you work hard and apply these methods like THEY did!

These methods taught in our Foundations for Art program don't just work for me. 

 

Dolly G. :"April's Sunday", (above) is rendered in Prismacolor (TM) colored pencils on Paper.

 

 Also by Dolly G. "The Perfect Earrings" (above) Also in Colored Pencils on paper and is from a photo of her niece.

 

 

 

"Paulina" by Matthew L. (Prismacolor pencils on Paper) Matt's use of negative space gives his work a look all his own!

 

"Bonnie" also by Matt L. Matt is currently accepting offers for commissions. You may contact him by writing us.

 

Mark H. "Chopper"  Prismacolors (Photographer  unknown) Willy G. prefers a more traditional pencil style 
Marcela B:Untitled, Prismacolor  Lady R: "Catherine" Prismacolors on Paper 
Also by Lady: "Ed" Prismacolor pencils on Paper ((Photographer unknown)) She uses multiple photographs as sources to composite something new. 
Below left "Cousins" by Mel K. ( 2007- Prismacolors on paper)  takes it to the next level by not using original (not copyrighted) photographs and creates something new and special- below right - the original sources - 
On Mel Ks "Cousins": These original source photos are rather ordinary family pictures in themselves, but they become something VERY charming, spontaneous and special when re-sized and composited together for a reference, then rendered by hand in traditional art media on paper! 

 

 

Onalee N. from the U.K. came up with this sensitive portrait with her FIRST attempt!

 

 

Tahnja W. "Master Jesus" Acrylic on Panel Also by Tahnja  "Our Lady" & "Heavenly Jesus" Acrylic on Panel
