About
I love drawing. Twenty years ago I decided to follow through with my passion for art and did various courses and lots and lots of throwing paint around, which I thorougly enjoyed. Drawing emerged as the number one activity and morphed into a quieter more contemplative style over the years.
Some thoughts about the portraits:
PORTRAITS
Graphite lends itself beautifully to portraiture. Although, an accurate likeness is my initial aim the portrait will only be ready when there is that extra something coming through.
PET PORTRAITS
I look for that individual characteristic/look and hope to catch something that the owner will recognise as unique to their pet.
Whichever the portrait, the process follows a certain pattern and once the likeness is there, it enters an almost sculptural phase as, the way I layer the drawing media, I can almost feel my way around the form and at this point it enters a more intuitive phase.
