My First Commission
Back in March 2024 I was so happy to get a commission to paint this gorgeous couple who are shortly getting married. This piece is on 9″ x 11″ grey Strathmore with coloured pencils.
Sunflower Boy
Snapped on my 60th birthday weekend while visiting the Van Gogh museum. Sunflowers are Chris’s favourite, and he often wears colours in the same palette. A4 ink and coloured pencil on Paint’On grey paper. I’m reliably informed that this counts as ‘fine art’ because I’m referencing Van Gogh!
Famous Faces – Kadeena Cox
Continuing my series of ink and coloured pencil portraits of famous faces completed in 4 hours in preparation for the Portrait Artist of the Year competition. I did a ‘grisaille’ underpainting on this one to emphasise the shadows. A4 ink and coloured pencil on PaintOn Grey paper.
