PORTRAITS & FIGURATIVE ART

Portraits from life drawn with pencil, charcoal or painted with watercolour or oil paints. Each portrait starts with a drawing. Each pose is discussed and agreed with the sitter. The composition is designed using visual references such as drawings from life and artist's own photography. A selection of portraits are seen here.
