My final workshop and I'm delighted to have produced something in colour which is half decent. For some reason the scan has washed out some of the detail. Graham is buying me a set of pastels for Chrsitmas, so hope to do more colour portraits next year.

Can't believe how much I am learning from these workshops. Next week we enter the scary world of colour...

Millenium Gallery Workshops

Big big thank you to Tim Rose, my fantastic new tutor. First of 4 portrait workshops and I can already see progress. And thanks to Gerald the model, who found it a strange experience as he's used to modelling nude.

Mel's kids

I have just finished charcoal portraits of 3 siblings and had them framed up together. Really pleased with the result.

My First Blog

Well here I am at last staggering into the 21st century and writing my first Blog entry. Welcome to s17portraits where I plan to post my new work, and talk about all things arty.
