 'Imagine They're...' 'Charcoal Pencil on Newsprint Mounted on Japanese Rice Paper / Size: 18.2 x 13.2 Inches. |  Hiya folks, I like to take the opportunity to play around with ideas to spice up my drawing practice sessions at times, which is how this piece transpired, a fun take on the ever popularly spouted advice of imagining ones audience naked when one is overcome with a fear of public speaking. Hope you've all been having a great week so far! Ta for now.. :)  |

'Binary Movement' Charcoal and Colour Pencil Drawing WIP' See ya! Thanks for the visit!.. :) Hiya, this shy gal was part t of my drawing practice yesterday (in 2D). I loved the shy, awkward pose of this model and tried to convay this in this minimal gestural piece..  'Shrinking Violet' / Charcoal Pencil on Paper / Size: 9.45 x 16.9 Inches  Hi guys! So with a touch of trepidation I got back to this piece and I'm pretty happy it's turned out just as envisioned!.. The nature of this piece I feel lends itself to personal interpretation so I shy away from clarifying my own inspiration as I would like each observer to find meaning in it for themselves, independent of my own conceptual vision.  'Duality of Mind' / Colour pencils, Soft Pastels, White Chalk Pencil & Charcoal Pencil on Canson Mi-Teintes Paper (160g/m) Size: 19.1 x 12.4 Inches (each panel without borders)  Check out more detailed shots and info at 'Duality of Mind' or if you are interested in seeing a how this piece was created step by step, check out 'Duality of Mind' Pastel and Colour Pencil WIP'!!
Thanks for dropping by guys! :)  'Tangy Cream' / Conte Pencil, Charcoal, Ink and White Acrylic on Shellac Sized Archival Paper. /Size: 10.2 x 10.2 Inches  Hiya guys! After my unavoidable hiatus with rather infrequent drawing practice sessions, I've been taking the opportunity to get back into my daily drawing habit, trying to regain fluidy and skills I feel had gone rather rusty after last year. Still working on it but meanwhile here is one of my latest figural drawings! (p.s. Included in Artfinder's 'Best of February' Collection!!) Guess What! Artfinder is currently having a FREE SHIPPING promo this weekend, so if you're thinking of adding this or any artpiece to your collection, now's the time!!  'Lean' / Charcoal Pencil on Newsprint / Size: 11.7 x 9.5 Inches  Thanks for dropping by! :)
Hiya folks!,.. It's been a while hasn't it!. I'm coming out of a difficult year after caring for my dad through his last few months and long slow deterioration. There are no words to describe how it feels to see a loved one go thus... We miss him everyday now even though he had long been a shadow of himself. Anyways, art has always pulled me through difficult times and I was working on this little print during his final days. I did one set with goldleaf for some artist friends (12 editions) and this set (below in only 8 editions) with silverleaf. I hadn't done any printmaking since my college days so I kept it simple.  'Zen Dog' Variable Limited Edition Linocut Print Gilded with Silver Metal Leaf (Only 8 editions) on Japanese Rice Paper / Size: 3.5 x 3.65 Inches  This is the first time I've tried gilding a handpulled print and it's a bit tricky to do so, as each piece is supposed to be as identical as possible ( this is a mark of a good printmaker). To get the gilding pattern of each print as close as possible I used a stencil to apply the gilding paste and then continued with the gilding process as usual.
I wanted the silverleaf to be protected though, so a layer of Artist Varnish was applied just to the leaf alone. These prints have only just been made available on Artfinder so if you're interested in adding one to your collection pop on by - 'Zen Dog' Silverleaf V/E Print . Do drop me a message if you have any questions! Thanks for dropping by!!
 'Morning Visitor' Oil on Canvasboard . Size: 7.4 x 5.1 Inches It was great fun painting this alla prima oil of a subject matter so close to my heart, my mother and little cat (at the time) Crookshanks.
I wanted to really capture the early morning light as it shone brightly, illuminating the dark interior of my mother's bedroom. So, unlike the rest of the piece, the window area was left bare of any toned underpainting. The rest was painted with a limited palette over a toned ground of paynes grey, yellow ocher and raw umber. Much of this toned ground is left uncovered in the final piece intentionally and background elements have been left with a rough unfinished look. Vine charcoal was the perfect medium in helping to create this soft toned atmospheric piece.  Vine & Charcoal Pencil on Newsprint Mounted on Japanese Rice Paper / Size: 8.6 x 8.4 Inches  |
