Le blog de l’artiste peintre franco-américaine Gwenn Seemel. Les articles sont en anglais et en français, et souvent ils sont bilingues.

Painting a frontal portrait

This is my very first video blog and it’s about painting a frontal portrait.

When I was fifteen, a friend told me that I sounded like a “runaway shopping cart with a squeaky wheel.”  I carried that description for a long time, trying to embrace it in a lighthearted way but mostly failing.  Then, last January, OPB aired an Oregon Art Beat segment about my work, and, as I watched it, I realized that the “squeaky wheel” part was clearly an exaggeration. 

So I decided to try vlogging.
