STUDIO - Creating Portraits

Had a super and creative evening tonight in the studio with some friends... Myself, Nina and Astrid spent the evening taking turns to create A2 portraits using watercolour and ink. With these portraits you never know what is going to happen, I start with the eyes and then create the nose, the mouth, then the hair and lastly adding the chin and clothes. I have no idea if I'm creating a man or woman or child until I stand back and look at the finished painting.

I find the full process fascinating as once the face has come together I get a very real sense of who the person I've just made up is, often feeling strongly a name associated with them and an occupation.  

    

       

EVENT - William Woods, Harrogate

It was great to see my work on display in William Woods in Harrogate today. They have had my pieces in for a while now but it's been the first opportunity I've had to get over to see them on display. I was really pleased that I had the opportunity to see them there as they look rather spectacular in the high end interior design environment.

   

WORKSHOP - Model a Clay Head

Started running some 'model a clay head' workshops from my studio recently, it's been fun having a few folks in modelling each other. This couple came in for a romantic weekend 💓
