Strike a Pose

  • On the day I will arrive earlier at the venue - usually within 1 hour before the start of the event. After setting up and warming up, I take a photograph of the subject to be drawn (unless this has been arranged with the event organiser prior to the start of the event) and start working on the portrait. Alternatively, the guest can sit for the portrait, and thus becoming a part of the whole experience.

  • I sketch from live or from photographs for around 20-30min each portrait with graphite/chalk or charcoal on A3 size, high quality Fabriano paper, in a specifically allocated area where the artistic set up is positioned - easel, table, chairs, lights etc.

  • The style is black and white, bold and expressive, and achieving great likeness is always on the top of my priorities!

    The guests images are taken with my personal iPhone and deleted straight after the event for privacy reasons.
