Approach
I prefer to work in acrylics as they allow me the flexibility to create expressively on any size deep edged canvas, however I do also work in other mediums such as graphite and pastel. Each portrait is individually created to the style that suits the subject.
Working from photographs gives me the flexibility to work at any time of the day without the need for the sitter to spend many hours posing.
The invention of photography meant that the artist had to find an alternative means of painting a portrait other than direct representation and i have taken my iInspiration from artists who did just that.
