      This is my Dream Portfolio, Thoughts? https://www.pinterest.com/jayjabberwokkie/dream-portfolio/

      I found the journey of doing the dream portfolio was a bigger reward than even studying the pieces I picked. The artist's I found I relate with. I found commonality in things I already do and kinda had a home coming on what influences me. I even went back to things I loved as a child, the stuff that captivated and inspired me to start, and found that some but not all still remain influential. Over all this was an amazing eye opening experience! Thank you.

        I find my self more interested in the use of complex color but also the use of minimal strokes to represent the subject. https://www.pinterest.ca/richcartwright3/dream-portfolio/

            This is great idea and having looked at other folks dream folios it's introduced me to some great artists I'd not heard of. Downside is I now have to review my 20 as there are some new pieces I want to add.

              So much fun making a dream portfolio. I am looking at them now and trying to figure out what I love about each one. There definitely seems to be a marine theme, magical and whimsical style. Also something with lighting, glowing etc. A fun surprise to find out that one of my favorite pieces is from @Lee-White!

              A little intimidated by what I have selected since I am a new artist and not really sure how to begin:0 https://www.pinterest.com/pmart99/dream-portfolio-for-svs/

                  @jazeps-tenis - some great 'Golden Age' pieces. I loved Gustaf Tenggren!

                        @pamm I definitely love the vintage style! I'm excited to integrate it into my work!

                        I tried to click on your Pinterest board, but it didn't work. Maybe your board is set to private?

                            @lee-white Hi Lee 😊 How many master copies should we do? All 20 or just the top 5 for example.

                              This is my collection, but I'm having trouble finding a good connection between them all (it was also ridiculously hard to narrow it down to just 20, lol) : https://www.pinterest.com/plybondesign/dream-portfolio/

                                  Have any SVS teachers (aka @Jake-Parker, @Will-Terry, or @Lee-White) made a dream portfolio because I’d love to see that as reference for a great portfolio to build up to.

                                    @jen-sweeney The idea is to build a "portfolio" of studies, so probably all 20 šŸ™‚ It's a ton of work, but I can personally say it's life changing!
