The blog.

Friends, models, dogs and more! For many years within my art practice I have concentrated on landscape and our natural environment, but recently I have been delving more in portraiture. I undertook life classes many years ago, and more recently portrait workshops and classes. At the National Art School in Sydney I had extensive opportunity to draw from life and experiment widely. In 2023 I spent the year studying portraiture in an endeavour to increase my skills with this genre. In this section, you will discover my attempts at portraiture and the figure. Here you will find my selection of quick gesture drawings done in as little as 30 seconds, sketches and studies in charcoals, ink or pastels, to multi-day acrylic and oil paintings. I hope you enjoy!
