Portrait in Monochrome,
Acrylic on canvas,

Jaundré M. van Breda

This is my latest acrylic painting on canvas. I prefer acrylic over oil paint because it dries so much quicker and thus layers can be added. Here are a few pics following my progress since yesterday:

    Hi @jmvanbreda! I love this <3 I'd like to be able to curate you into higher payouts but I don't know if you'd be open to some tips on creating posts on Steemit?

    Let me know if you'd welcome a few suggestions, and I think we can get your posts better appreciation :D

    As for this particular post, I love the step by step and how expressive your brush strokes are, the woman is beautiful and her eyes and body language conveys a lot of unspoken feelings from the canvas <3 Beautiful work <3

      Yay! Good to hear :D I'm glad this one was curated successfully with curie, also \o/ Such a beautiful post <3

      So, the tips to make a post more accessible to an audience are not complicated :D

      You basically need three main sections and you dont have to always follow the same structure. The most important thing is just to allow people to get to know what it is you are presenting to them, like allow them to get to know you~

      So, if you can say a few words on what is it you are drawing/painting, why you are drawing/painting them, and maybe what does the subject matter means to you, then you'll make better posts already! :D

      People kinda like people they can feel so, basically, if you open up a bit, you will help people to be able to access your arts.

      I love recognizing and finding talents on Steemit, so if you have any questions at any time, just poke me~ You're talented and I would love to see talents like you get more recognition and rewards :>

      Keep up the good work, Juandre <3

        Thank you. I haven't got a great deal more to say than this: I am also a writer of poetry and flash fiction. Art, in all its forms, has always been one of those things that has saved me time and time again from the clutches of severe OCD and depression. So I'll continue to create not necessarily because I just want to, but because I have to.
