I am a self taught mouth artist. I have been drawing for over 20 years now. I draw scenes of nature and country living.
Bruce Lynn Dellinger, a self-taught artist, has been successfully drawing for years. As a result of a farming accident in 1981 that left him a C5-C6 quadriplegic, he discovered that he could draw and write by manipulating pens and pencils with his teeth.
This eventually led Bruce to the realization of how creating works of art can be enjoyable and therapeutic.
Bruce has worked with several types of mediums but has found that using a no. 2 graphite pencil and working in black and white is representative of his personal character and style. The pencil allows for ease of use and gives the drawing an old-fashioned appearance and quality. For more detail, Bruce utilizes as much positive space as possible. This simple technique adds fullness while creating focus and unity.
By using naturalistic scenes. Bruce feels that the finished composition is a reflection of his mood and adaptability to life.
