12. Self-Portrait 1919 Claude Buck oil on wood 13 1/2 x 14 1/8 in. (34.5 x 35.7 cm.) Smithsonian American Art Museum Gift of Mrs. Claude Buck 1983.46.7 Claude Buck (1890-1974) Claude Buck was born in New York in 1890, and received his early instruction from his artist father. A child prodigy, Claude entered the National Academy of Design at the age of 14, staying on for the next 8 years. His works caught the eye of a Chicago art dealer, whose representation prompted his move there in 1919, where he participated in a number of exhibitions and one-man shows. In order to be closer to his son, Buck and his wife moved to Santa Cruz, California, in 1943. Buck is best known for his exquisite portraits and still lifes, both showing Asian design influences, and for his introspective symbolist paintings.

21. Claude Buck Self-Portrait oil on wood 13 1/2 x 14 1/8 in. Smithsonian American Art Museum This artist chose to draw himself without much expression. It is difficult to tell what he is feeling. Does he look a little sad or just thoughtful?

24. Divide the head with light lines The eye line is half way between the top of the head and the chin. The nose line is almost half way from the eyes to the chin These lines are called guide lines. They help us put the facial features in the correct places on the face. Draw them very lightly. The center line divides the head in half from side-to-side The mouth line is almost half the way from the nose line to the chin

28. Draw the eyes on the eye line Draw the top of the eyes as a curve that starts on the line and ends on the line Draw the bottom of the eyes as a curve that starts where the top curve starts and ends where the top curve ends The eyes should be one eye apart The iris is the colored part of the eye. It should be drawn as a perfect circle that touches both the top and the bottom of the eye

35. Claude Buck Self-Portrait oil on wood 13 1/2 x 14 1/8 in. Smithsonian American Art Museum The bridge of the nose is drawn up between the eyes and through the eye brows, starting at the end of the C shapes

36. Claude Buck Self-Portrait oil on wood 13 1/2 x 14 1/8 in. Smithsonian American Art Museum Another way to draw the bridge of the nose is to start it at the tip

37. Draw the bridge of the nose The bridge of the nose goes from near the nostril cover, past the eye. The bridge line does not touch the eye, but go past it.

38. Another way to draw the bridge lines The bridge of the nose can be drawn from near the end up past the eye.

39. Compare the two ways of drawing the bridge
