About
A dual exhibition featuring a selection of portraits and figures in watercolour, ink and mixed media. A collection of both friends’ and strangers’ portraits, observed for their likeness and character, using a variety of source materials.
Effective portraits rely on getting a good likeness together with something of the character of the subject. This has been achieved by using a variety of photographs of each friend and using these to guide the painting.
The drawings of strangers switches the focus from likeness, to a more impressionistic response. Featuring many portraits drawn of fellow artists online, the poses are held for just a few minutes allowing a glance into the window of their thoughts in that moment.
One of the functions of the artist is to be a teacher. Any work of art enables the viewer to see the world in a slightly different way. The lessons learned will depend on the viewer as much as the artist but good art will stay with you for the rest of your life.
