I like to draw and paint a variety of people, and my preferred style is realism, though I go about it in some experimental ways sometimes, being largely self-taught. Here we have charcoal, graphite, oil paint, acrylic paint, monochrome, large work, mini work, ink and watercolor, washes, or thick layers on various surfaces.

Loosely inspired by the work of Jeffrey Smart, whose deserted urban scenes are very evocative of isolation and foreboding. Oil on small canvas.

#24 The Dance
Danseurs have always been a great inspiration to me, and I hoped the vigour and sense of freedom shown by this professional leap carries through. It was a rather time-intensive task to complete this oil on canvas, and I tilted it to make a more dynamic composition.

#25 Cam And Simone
Portrait of my friends after their wedding... the reference pic was black and white, so I had to invent some skin tones.
