Drawing from life
My New Life-drawing Collections and how they came about.
My latest artworks. November 2022 to current day.
Early in November 2022, I decided to attempt working on a much smaller scale. I wanted to try something different, to challenge myself, but instead of upscaling, I decided to downsize. I want to make my work more accessible to art buyers and collectors. Smaller artworks are much more affordable, collectable, easy to post and a lot cheaper to frame.
I used to work on A2 & A3 sized paper and had been experimenting with pencil and watercolour. Watercolour such a lovely painting medium to use, especially in short, time slots where you can't fiddle around too much. The problem was that I just was not getting enough time to complete the artworks. I wanted to somehow have, at least some finished pieces at the end of the session of 8 x 10 minute poses. Also I wanted to try to avoid working on them later back in the studio..... I still do.

One of a Kind
My drawing collections are totally original. Each piece is truly one-of-a-kind. They are all created with a spontaneous energy that only the short poses sessions inspire.
These small artworks are perfect for any room in the house and are sure to be a conversation starter. You can be sure that your purchases will be an investment in art that will last a lifetime.
I'll never stop learning.
If there has been one constant source of inspiration in my journey as an artist, I can honestly say that it would be "life drawing".

Back in my art school days it was a tough experience but it really did feel like I was following in the footsteps of tradition, I had to roll up my sleeves and just get on with it. Very soon I grew to enjoy the challenge of working directly from the naked human form, whether it be male, female, young or old.
​
Now, and for some time the weekly practice of life drawing is one of the most important elements in my practice. Practice makes for a more fulfilled experience each time I draw.
I know I'll never stop learning.
