Portrait
of Rene
1992
by
Paul Noonan
Pencil
and wash on card
It's fair to
say I've drawn mostly women and children in my portraits. The skin
is smooth and the nuances that light picks up are very subtle. Drawing
Rene was a chance to draw more texture in the skin and using watercolour
wash and pencil on a card base would help me with this portrait.
I'm pleased
particularly with the eyes in this work. I wanted to get across
the modest pride of this man. The 'Father of the Bride' look'
if you like.
