I used to paint only people. And after years I have enough types of eyes, hairs and other details that I can paint without a direct reference. So I started using a base reference for the pose and then taking my creative liberties with the rest. I think with landscapes I just need to copy more (in volume) to start feeling the same confidence in improvising and adding my own ideas to the reference

Needs to be more cohesive. Visible artist statement woven through details showing your purpose your voice. Telling a story/narrative- something provocative

Art is anything you want it to be. It doesn't have to follow a narrative, or be cohesive, or anything. Your art is amazing the way it is. You're so talented, never doubt that ❤

You saved yourself $26,000 in tuition. I applied at CU in Boulder for a Masters of Museum Science and was rejected. I've been a curator of my own museum for 20 years. I think it was because I was old(77), male, white and straight and they were pushing DEI. I did get accepted at OU, but they was totally on line, but I wanted the campus experience. I like your work and energy. I'm impressed with your portraits.

Hi :) Which universities did you apply for? Firstly, you have a considerable talent in figuratively depicting a range of scenes (seascapes, portraiture, landscapes). I've completed my education in the Uk where I’m from ( BA at UAL, Grad Diploma at Sotheby's Institute and Curating MA at Royal College of Art) and have gained some experience re portfolio tips. For Bachelors this should be more representative of variation and experimentation- that you're open to test new theories and practical skills and are expected to define and affirm your practice by the end of the BA. For BA, you should never repeat or mimic an image piece unless it adds something conceptually, technically or visually different. Otherwise, you simply pick your favorite. They- being the institution- don’t need to see a likewise work that in your opinion is possibly even 1% less quality overall than a comparison piece. Some of this latter logic still applies to MA application in my opinion, btw. By the time of applying for an MA, which applies to your case, you should have a developed critical opinion on contemporary art discourse and thereby consistency in your concept and philosophy. If your refined concept is commodity fetishism or globalisation, for example, even if this has experimental and varied visual outputs your overarching theme should be palpable. Your mixture of portraiture, realistic full body images (but with colour and repitition as a form of abstraction) and finally seascapes and landscapes, are not conducive of a common concept at all. Within any higher-education context, arguably the concept should take precedent over the visual discourse (possible exceptions being unless the institution is skill-based (an example would be Royal Drawing School in London). The good thing is that you have skill. So, I would recommend defining your concept through research and artist inspiration, practicing how this correlates to a visual output and why, and then developing a new portfolio based on these grounds. If you wish me to share any other ideas and you’re applying again for other institutions feel free to reach out!

Hullo Robin, I am truly impressed with the direction you are taking! I have seen the way your developing your own viewpoint and creating such a unique view of what you are trying to achieve, so well done! I am such a fan. I have been watching your journey for some years now and it is still impressive how far you have come and the direction of your journey is very inspiring. I wish I had the money to purchase more of your art. I love the Aspens and the driveway is so touching. I feel as if I have looked down that and so many similar driveways in my travels! Oh how I envy your contemporaries and those who have the opportunity to share on this development of your work. I used to trade with my friends and co-workers in college and afterwards we would get together for a group show. So many times we would sell nothing, but ended up trading with one another for a piece we felt we speaking to the other person who was moved by a painting I had done and each of us felt that we got the best “deal” when everyone was winning just to be together and sharing the experience! I am hopeful that you will be selling the art that needs to be finding a new home to go to. Sending you only the very best of luck, take care Robin n friends!

I've been following your work for around 7 years now, I think? You were one of the first KZbinrs that I really "got into" and have pretty much consistently watched every upload since (and I own/cherish one of your pieces!). It's been amazing watching you learn and grow as an artist and I'm so thankful for how you've shared your journey so openly over the years. I'm really excited for your next chapter! And congrats on your engagement!!

Congrats!!!!! That's so freakin awesome! And so freakin' true. Seeing successful artists, walking through their minds, in a way (what they show us on youtube etc) ..... we don't have to wonder at their thought processes, anymore. For other artists like Monet etc.....now we can watch them stumble, and that's not a cheap shot. That's reaaaaaally beneficial. I kinda hate what yt has done to people and how they're basically advertisements now....but I also really appreciate where some artists can take me. I don't have to guess, and that's just half the battle already won! Anyway ....again....congrats and good luck w/ your mental wellness journey! (I mean it's beneficial to see better-than-me artists having slow seasons in their art practice, or good seasons after slow seasons....you know.....that whole range of emotion. It's good to be able to see it in real-time because it takes that perfectionism down a bit, knowing that everyone, everyone, EVERYONE struggles with this if they're creating A N Y T H I N G. )
