Portraiture & Figurative Art

Portraits are started after an initial meeting (the first sitting); usually two sittings are all that is needed but depending on the complexity of the portrait, additional sittings may be needed. Sketches, notes and photographs are taken at the first sitting and a pose agreed on. It is important to allow time to discuss ideas for a portrait, such as the use of medium and size, what the portrait should portray, if there should be a background or other things to include. A selection of portraits, in different media, are see here.

March 2014 (above): portrait in graphite pencil and charcoal on Bristol Board of David Wareing, Senior Partner, Hill Dickinson LLP who very kindly volunteered to sit for two portrait sittings for the 'Live.Art.Liverpool' charity auction. The portrait was auctioned with all proceeds going to The Prince's Trust. The Mayor of Liverpool opened the charity auction, held at the end of a successful two week art exhibition of donated artwork. Thank you to the Live.Art.Liverpool team from Hill Dickinson LLP for inviting me take part.
