Although most of my portraits are done using pencil, I am equally at home using watercolour. My style of
painting is very impressionistic with wide brushstrokes gradually building up the shade and depth of the
face. Painting the elderly is a particular favourite of mine as lines on a face always add more
interest to the final piece.
The pencil work is taken from a good photograph of the person, the more dramatic the pose or lighting
is the better. It creates a more interesting over all final affect.
