Portr8s Drawings Page 4


My first experiments in pencil and wash can be seen in this portrait 'Sara'. Drawn in 1992. This picture shows a friend's niece posing for a school photograph. What I found striking about her was the very dark soulful eyes she has. Was it Rossetti who said the eyes were the windows of the soul? I wanted to capture the way she appears to look deeply into the viewer's eyes. I felt she was looking at me more than I was looking at her!		Sara's grandfather Rene seems to look across the page at her. This portrait was also drawn with a combination of pencil and watercolour wash. Rene was a well respected man by both family and friends. This was drawn from a wedding photo and I hope captures the pride of a man giving away one of his cherished daughters. Note the similarity in the mouth between the two. Click the images
