Portraits

Portraits are a good challenge, and I can't help connecting with the person as the painting progresses. It's the first thing that my mum taught me in Art, and I'm very grateful for the skills she handed down to me. This set of portraits range from a loose style experimenting with the colours and size of paintstrokes, to a more traditional pencil drawing similar to an illustrated story book. I enjoy working in both styles, and there's a similar quality of colour and energy.
