Marc Allante has been drawing since he could pick up a pen. It's easy for us to assume that good artists were born naturally gifted, but it gives hope to see that they too go through a progression of skill. Watching Marc's work from age 2 to age 25, gives you a glimpse into how he progressed as an artist in this remarkable painting series he has put out that shows his work through the ages. He is now an incredibly successful painter, and the later paintings show his current style (the last 2). It's fascinating to see how his skill progressed, not only in form, but also in the maturity of the subject matter. |
