Welcome to my portrait and life artwork!

Work is from real-time life studies and photos; there are also two grandmaster studies (A 1930s study from John Singer Sargeant and a Vasily Grebennikov study)

COMMISSIONS

In person It matters to me to get a feel of being with you if possible. What’s important to me is to capture your essence, experience your energy. So you are welcome to come to me or I’ll come to you. I’ll sketch and take lots of photos. You’ll sit/be in different poses. 2-3 hours. We’ll then decide on which I’ll work on.

Direct from a photo I prefer more than one of the subject for my reference. It must be high resolution, and in focus. I would like some choice in the image - I’ll need to feel I want to draw the shot.

It will take me between 20-50 hours work, depending on the size. You will have a drawing of great care and attention.

I will share the drawing with you when nearly complete, allowing you to make a couple of suggestions if you wish.

Click here for sizes and prices. All packaging and posting, or hand delivery to you/ pickup is included. If we do an in-person session please add £95 to the approx cost.

Expect the work to take 4-6 weeks depending on my other commitments. All drawings will be in charcoals and graphite on paper. Drawings will be sealed as is artistically fitting.
