Sketching: The Foundational Artistic Skill

Jordan Rhodes is an artist based in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. After graduating with a Ph.D. in chemistry in the midst of a global shutdown due to the pandemic in 2020, the opportunity to switch focus onto an art career became apparent. During his time in graduate school rediscovered his passion for art, and developed an online presence which has been instrumental in providing creative opportunities. Jordan’s work primarily focuses on portraiture, and he works mostly in traditional water-based media such as gouache and watercolor but loves digital tools as well. One of his goals is to help others realize that is never too late to pursue their artistic dreams, no matter where they come from or when they may have started.
