In a Word, Find Motivation with Margriet Aasman
Try a creative tactic to deepen your connection to your portraits.
In this inspiring, mini lesson (14 mins), artist Margriet Aasman shares a creative tactic she often uses to deepen her connection to a portrait: adding a single word or phrase to the piece.
This isn’t just an aesthetic choice—it’s a way to anchor the artwork in a specific mood or moment. Sometimes, the word reflects her mindset at the time of creation. Other times, it helps spark the motivation to begin in the first place.
This lesson doesn’t include Margriet’s full drawing process. Instead, it offers something just as valuable: a mindset shift. It's a quick and thoughtful reminder that your portraits can hold more than likeness—they can hold language, memory, and meaning.
