Heya! Trying nowadays to find more interesting things to read online. Stuff that I would actually like and beneficial the same time."Why not?" :P. So I just came across an interesting article written by Painter John Howard Sanden. I Never got the chance to see any of his work yet but what he wrote was worthy of note.
Sanden discussed the "Question of the Smile" and "Why is it that a broad smile is almost always wrong in a portrait" Which is kind of funny and true! Almost all of the portraits in past centuries of the women or men usually present the picture of a well composed personality without adding any more flavors "Teeth" ^__^. It kinda contradicts the reality we live in where we are supposed to give a BIG smile whenever we want to present a pleasant image for ourselves. Sanden however, tries to explain the circumstances surrounding this view point in a simple way.
